Thunder fans give Russell Wesbrook a hand — and he answers back

"Don't go calling this Thunder season "special," yet.

Even after Kevin Durant's buzzer-beater from somewhere near the Oklahoma River gave the Thunder a 104-102 victory over Dallas, coach Scott Brooks cautioned against it in his postgame news conference. So I'll abide by his wishes for at least a couple more games.

But feel free to pick your own superlative about what happened at the Peake Thursday night in the fourth quarter.

Brooks certainly did.

And no, I'm not just talking about, "The Shot."

I'm talking about the chant.

Maybe you've heard about Russell Westbrook's struggles in Memphis, his 0-for-13 shooting and a commotion on the sideline during the game.

By now this town's captivation with this team knows no limits, and our preoccupation with Westbrook's play and mood and body language can border on the obsessive.

Well, Westbrook wasn't too much better for three quarters Thursday night. And a guy sitting two rows behind me was keeping track of the trend, shouting "Oh-for-14" and "Oh-for-15" when Westbrook missed his first two shots Thursday against Dallas."
