goddamnit

I take it you were a Sonics fan?

Here's the thing about Thunder fans, though: we've spent our whole lives cheering for other people's teams, so now that somebody's given us a decent team of our own, yeah we're gonna be obnoxious about it.

Alright yeah I owe you an apology.

First off, I was pissed off as fuck cause I wrote that minutes after they won.
Secondly, I don't actually have anything against the fans (except of course those that think that having a team for three years and not having a championship is a long time... them and the 2001 Diamondback fans can f- off). I also have nothing against the players. Durant is fucking amazing and pretty humble for how old he is. (Side note: Westbrook is awful. Just awful. He always tries to take over late in the game and make big showy plays but ends up turning it over. When they need an easy bucket or two he tries to throw up alley-oops to his tired center or cross court passes to someone. He's trying to become the star who the crowd loves, not win the game. He's a liability to that team.)

Who DO I hate?:
Anybody in the management (i.e. anybody above the coach).
Clay Bennett fucking lied to Shultz (who owned the Sonics prior), the city of Seattle, and our Mayor.
I also hate Shultz cause he was in it for the money and isn't loyal to his city at all.
I especially hate David Stern who is a friend of Bennett and colluded with him so he could get a team.

Got an hour to waste? Watch the documentary and it will all become clear.

Otherwise click here and see that I'm not alone

You know what would be awesome Westbrook? If you let the 3 time scoring champion TAKE MORE SHOTS THAN YOU. Idiot.

he's not a liability to his team. shooting is only 1 part of the game. he's averaging 9 assists and 8 rebounds over the last 2 games.

Westbrook over two games:

27/8/9 (a fucking beastly, rondo-esque line)

Lebron over 2 games:

31/8.5/4.5

Well seeing as the Heat play basically 3 forwards with essentially no PG and no center I'm surprised they have as many rebounds as they do. Perkins averages 8 rebounds but a measly 4 points?
Different style of basketball than just looking at the numbers after a game is over and deciding who is best.
Did you not watch the first quarter with Westbrook? Spent the whole time not passing and attempting to shoot. I blame him for their first quarter woes yesterday. Sure toss a couple up and try and get into a groove but if it ain't working pass to your all-star.

i tend to agree with you that westbrook needs to defer to durant more often. But at the same time, the way they are functioning is working for them. They are in the finals. Westbrook scorched the lakers for 36 points in one of their playoff games, and really killed them time and time again. The guy is a beast, he just happens to have a better pure scorer on his team

Tru.

Alright I want a no bullshit assessment here: Does Westbrook's hometown and college have ANY influence on your liking him?

Given my Pac12 history I'll admit I watched him play against me I might be a little biased but damn dude you GOTTA pass more often. Especially as PG and especially with Durant on your team.

Westbrook wants to be the star. His ego is far too big for: 1) This team, 2) Playing PG

Nobody can say he didn't earn it. He stepped it up when necessary and they dominated all season long.

Going to be better than Jordan in the long term, IMO.

Nets are gonna be interesting next season. Still won't watch any basketball games, but at least my buddy will have a winner to cheer for (Jets, Mets, Nets fan)

Nets aren't going to be awesome. Maybe winning as in being over .500, but they aren't going to be anything special in my opinion

I have no idea why they took on Joe Johnson's contract.
