I often have a case of happy fingers when it comes to the Thunder. When the playoffs come around, my fingers get so happy and busy, I feel like Liberace. You know what I mean. I get busy on Twitter.

One night removed from the #Thunder's remarkable comeback win over the Lakers in Game 2, here's what the fingers produced on Twitter.

- Don't anger the Black Mamba. The #Thunder hopes some1 muzzles critics far & wide who espouse that he now can't finish-"Them's fightin words."

- The best indicator of the #Thunder's improvemnt? OKC is 6-0 in the playoffs, 3-0 in close games. In previous yrs they'd be 4-2 or 3-3.

- Not 2b overlooked after the dramatic Gm 2 loss, LA made successful adjustments. #Thunder had 98 pts after 3 n Gm1--42 pts better last night.

- #Thunder lucky Blake missed potential game-winner 4 #LA. @Russwest44 lost contact w/him peaking @ Mamba. Perk chewed his rump out #Rumproast.

- Metta W Peace's suspension killing LA. Kept LA from beating Denv in less than 7 games. Dead tired, they could play Games 3,4,5,6 in 6 days.

- Scott Brooks & his 22 yr-old #Thunder players a perfect fit. Young, down-to-earth, hard-working (& coach & a few players uncommonly humble).

- The dissection of #Lakers failed play n loss 2 #Thunder should start w X/Os. It's never-ever good if u have Kobe runnig away from the passer.

- It'll be a rowdy crowd at Staples...well, as rowdy as the richies can be. The #Thunder should come out w shirts saying THUNDER 4 WORLD PEACE.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will try to take a 3-0 series lead over the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference finals at 9:30 p.m. at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
