Remember: At least we're not Tampa, scoring 16 points in a game.

Likely no playoffs for the Thunder now. Arizona may have nothing to play for and they may want the Thunder in the playoffs over whoever else might be contending. if the Thunder make the playoffs, it would only be as the fourth seed. it would be impossible for Arizona to play the Thunder in the first round.

I will try to summarize the playoff picture soon. The Shock are all but in. The Thunder need to win and get a lot of help. Touch game tonight.

Best thing to hope for is that Vegas is disqualified from the playoffs or that Vegas loses out and that Portland can fend off Los Angeles for the 4th playoff spot.
To be honest, there were parts of this game I truly thought Spokane was going to lose it. Portland just shot themselves in the foot, and the big turnaround for Spokane came on that goal line stand.
We saw the Jekyll/Hyde Rowley too. I don't know what the deal is, but it's disappointing to see. However, I have to give the guy some credit; the guy was out on the field after every touchdown and was looking like a positive/encouraging teammate. That earns respect in my book. He did that here, but there were instances in 2011 and 2012 where he was selfish. I think he became humble after his DUI in Orlando.
I pointed out Bryson Kelly was someone to look out for, and he showed just that (especially with the 2 rushing touchdowns). I'm skeptical about Nelson right now; he wasn't able to throw the ball downfield often and he got picked off on two poor passing decisions. The short passing game/run game worked, but it won't work every game.
As a Shock fan, I'll take the win... but I really think if Portland hadn't have shot themselves in the foot, they could have pulled off a win.
Anyways, thanks to those that participated tonight. Hope everyone liked the pics I contributed.

Angi has all of the scenarios in her head. Julie took her out to a party and tomorrow they are going surfing in the morning. The Shock are in if the KISS lose tomorrow. I know that much. The Las Vegas situation makes me mad. At this point, the Thunder just have to win. That is it.
Rowley pisses me off. Even the Shock announcers were saying tonight that he is either HOT or COLD. He just didn't show up from the mid-second quarter until the mid fourth. I really hope the Thunder can find an upgrade over the off-season.
