Official "not worried" Hawks @ OKC game thread

[ElNono]

pretty even so far... expect the Thunder to win this one at home, but tbh, there's nothing else to watch

[ElNono]

Jeff Teague is pretty good, IMO

[Reck]

Seriously, LP NEEDS to go full HD.

I'm tired of this standard format. Looks all grainy and shit.

[jeebus]

Chuckbrick is lookin good early, 1-5 already

[ElNono]

Seriously, LP NEEDS to go full HD.

[benefactor]

What's funny is Thunder fan thinks that those threes that Martin is shooting now are actually going to fall in the playoffs.

[jeebus]

:cry Martin = Harden :cry

[Reck]

HD here

TV LP or Online pass LP?

I'm only getting the SD version on tv.

[thunderup]

Not concerned. The team is underperforming.

We'll be alright.

TV, dish network LP. Haven't seen a SD game in ages.

[ElNono]

Wheels falling off the hawks

[ElNono]

that nigga Martin going for 45

[Reck]

Ah figures.

Direct TV and Dish Network always have the goods when it comes to sports.

[ElNono]

Ah figures.

The only thing sucking in Dish is they don't carry MSG, so no Knicks games, not even in LP... but I don't really care about the Knicks, so...

[Latarian Milton]

tbh OKC needs a huge performance from Martin to shut up those idiots who said they got robbed by houston in the harden-martin deal

[Clipper Nation]

Not concerned. The team is underperforming.

We'll be alright.

Tbh, I thought elite teams weren't supposed to struggle with mediocre teams? :lol

[thunderup]

He's had a big game so far. 22 points on 6/7 shooting. Really efficient.

[thunderup]

Tbh, I thought elite teams weren't supposed to struggle with mediocre teams? :lol
Atlanta is not a mediocre team.

[Clipper Nation]

Atlanta is not a mediocre team.

Atlanta is the definition of mediocre... :lol

[thunderup]

At this moment, and for like the last 5 years or so Hawks>Warriors.

Why do you corner yourself with retarded takes?

[Reck]

The only thing sucking in Dish is they don't carry MSG, so no Knicks games, not even in LP... but I don't really care about the Knicks, so...

How do you watch the Spurs when they play the Knicks and the Nets? LP blacks the feed out because of of local restrictions.

I'm assuming you dont get YES neither?

[ElNono]

How do you watch the Spurs when they play the Knicks and the Nets? LP blacks the feed out because of of local restrictions.

Up to last season, I used to go see them when they played against the Nets, since they're local to me. Now that they're in Brooklyn, I'll probably pass.

For those two games I normally just watch them on the internet if they don't happen to broadcast them on TNT or ESPN.


I'm assuming you dont get YES neither?

Correct. Don't care about the Yanks, do it's all good too.

[Reck]

Atlanta is not a mediocre team.

Atlanta is a pretty mediocre team.

Compare to the Thunder they shouldn't even be on the same chart.

Atlanta only looks good on their own consference. When playing shit teams like the Bucks and so on.

[Richie]

Cmon, pathetic defensive effort from Atlanta. Westbrook wide open two possessions in a row and nobody even tries to close him down.

[Richie]

Would the Hawks even be a playoff team in the West?

[Clipper Nation]

At this moment, and for like the last 5 years or so Hawks>Warriors.

Why do you corner yourself with retarded takes?
Warriors would probably make the playoffs most years in the Leastern Conference...

:lol "Cornering myself"
:lol thunderup accusing others of shitful takes

[jeebus]

Would the Hawks even be a playoff team in the West?
10 seed tbh

[thunderup]

Warriors would probably make the playoffs most years in the Leastern Conference...

:lol "Cornering myself"
:lol thunderup (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=35988) accusing others of shitful takes
:lol hypotheticals
:lol "this would happen if this team were to be in the eastern conference"
:lol accusing others of shitful takes when you rely on hypotheticals

[Kai]

Martin is going to fill the role OKC asks him to do very well. He doesn't have the same role as Harden did. It's up to Durant/Westbrook and Ib:lolk:lol to make up the difference in Harden's role last year and Martin's role this year.

[ElNono]

Solid home cookin' right now

[ElNono]

If the foul was on Maynor why is KD shooting freebies? :lol

[ElNono]

KD getting bailed out back to back

[Clipper Nation]

:lol hypotheticals
:lol "this would happen if this team were to be in the eastern conference"
:lol accusing others of shitful takes when you rely on hypotheticals
The Leastern Conference is God-awful while the West is always stacked, that's just the truth, B...

:lol Needing home-cooking to keep things close with Atlanta

[Richie]

Lou Williams taking over

[ElNono]

Westchuck back to work

[ElNono]

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Westbrick in the clutch

[jeebus]

Durant and Chuckbrick are a combined 10 for 3:lol

[ElNono]

Well, Kevin Martin dropped "Harden numbers" and this is a loss at home... what's the next excuse? :lol

[Clipper Nation]

Lawler's Law in effect!

:lol Westbrick
:lol thunderup

[ElNono]

:lol not worried here :lol

[thunderup]

Damnit...

[jeebus]

son the Thunder have no bench outside of Martin. championship team tbh

[thunderup]

Russ has been a big disappointment

[Richie]

Seriously, is the Hawks defensive plan to leave Westbrook open from 3? It's been happening constantly all game. In fairness if it is, it's worked.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

I swear Westbrook is either retarded, or has some self destructive demons. He is losing this game for the Thunder. He just missed a highly difficult shot after dribbling for 15 seconds, never looking to pass. Then he saved a ball on defense directly under the basket, behind his back blindly. Of course it went right to a Hawk for an open layup.

[Clipper Nation]

Ignoring the same old bullshit you continue to spout. The Warriors are not a solid team. They simply beat the Clippers tonight because the Clippers aren't a top tier team. Top tier teams don't lose to teams like the Warriors.

Sorry, what was that? Can't hear your bullshit over the sound of Westbrick CHOKING to the Hawks... :lol

[Richie]

son the Thunder have no bench outside of Martin. championship team tbh

Maynor and Collison are good bench players. Young talent in lamb and Jones too, not what I'd call 'no bench'.

[ElNono]

:lol only fair Westbrick takes that shot

[Reck]

lmao deffering to chuckbrick.

[thunderup]

Sorry, what was that? Can't hear your bullshit from the sound of Westbrick CHOKING to the Hawks... :lol
The Hawks are a better team than the Warriors, by far. You have no say in this, Clipper fan.

[ElNono]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[Clipper Nation]

The Hawks are a better team than the Warriors, by far.

The Hawks were 0-1 going into this game... the Warriors were 1-1 going into last night's game... the Thunder will be 1-2 if the Hawks don't shit the bed per par, and the Clippers are 2-1 with decisive wins over playoff teams...

[NRHector]

Wesbrook again Ladies and Gents

[Kai]

:lol OKC losing to the team Harden dominated, even with Martin having a great game.

[Bynumite]

lol Westbrick with the clutch triple bricks and turnovers.

[NRHector]

Sorry, what was that? Can't hear your bullshit over the sound of Westbrick CHOKING to the Hawks... :lol

:lol

[Clipper Nation]

:lol Westbrick

[ElNono]

I have the Hawks easily as the 4th seed in the East...

[thunderup]

The Hawks were 0-1 going into this game... the Warriors were 1-1 going into last night's game... the Thunder will be 1-2 if the Hawks don't shit the bed per par, and the Clippers are 2-1 with decisive wins over playoff teams...
Look at the last couple of years, ask any knowledgeable basketball fan. The Hawks are better than the Warriors. Funny how you like to justify your teams loss by going this far to prove a point, and failing miserably at it.

[Clipper Nation]

Any knowledgeable basketball fan will also say that 2-1 > 1-2, therefore Clippers > Thunder...

:lol Thunder
:lol Westbrick

[thunderup]

Lol bad take is bad take. In your attempt to troll you fail at masking what's left of your good takes, if you have any. Congrats on being the poster to say, in the attempt to troll, that the warriors are a better team than the hawks.

:lmao Lakers

[thunderfan]

Atlanta shot the ball very well tonight. They've got some players in Williams, Teague, Horford. Westbrook, although not near as bad as he was against SA, did some dumb shit tonight. Forcing the issue too much. Good to see Ibaka get his stroke back.

Anyone looking at OKC's 1-2 record and LA's 0-3 and making really much of anything of it is pretty foolish.

Neither one of OKC's losses this season had ANYTHING to do with Harden not on the roster. So you can pretty much drop that argument. Kevin Martin raped the Hawks tonight. OKC's success this season, to me, has nothing to do with loss of Harden. It has everything to do with Westbrook and turnovers.

[thunderfan]

Durant, despite toying with a triple double, actually looked pretty damn clumsy all night long. THus the 6 TOs. 6 of 20 for OKC..

[Clipper Nation]

Neither one of OKC's losses this season had ANYTHING to do with Harden not on the roster. So you can pretty much drop that argument. Kevin Martin raped the Hawks tonight.
Harden raped the Hawks and the Rockets won... Martin raped the Hawks and the Thunder lost...

[racm]

If you took KD's turnovers away he'd have a stat line Larry Bird would be proud of, tbh...

[thunderfan]

Harden raped the Hawks and the Rockets won... Martin raped the Hawks and the Thunder lost...

And now I'll tell you why - because OKC turned the damned ball over 20 times. This has absolutely nothing to do with Harden being gone.

[thunderfan]

If you took KD's turnovers away he'd have a stat line Larry Bird would be proud of, tbh...

Yeah, he would have. Not sure if you watched the game, but KD just looked hogtied all night. Clumsy and frustrated.

[Richie]

If Harden had the ball in his hands in the 4th instead of Westbrook you would have won imo

[Clipper Nation]

Yeah, he would have. Not sure if you watched the game, but KD just looked hogtied all night. Clumsy and frustrated.
Considering who's supposed to be getting the ball to him, that's not a surprise...

:lol Westbrick

[thunderfan]

Considering who's supposed to be getting the ball to him, that's not a surprise...

:lol Westbrick

Clearly, you didn't watch the game. I'm not referring to him being hogtied by Westbrook.

[racm]

Yeah, he would have. Not sure if you watched the game, but KD just looked hogtied all night. Clumsy and frustrated.

Because Russell was being Bad Russ and wouldn't give him the ball.

[thunderfan]

Because Russell was being Bad Russ and wouldn't give him the ball.

He looked clumsy and frustrated when he did have the ball, which is waht I was referring to. I can't disagree with the fact that Westbrook is frustrating as hell sometimes though.

[Stabula]

I would have to agree with the Thunder fans saying that just because a team like, for example, the Clippers possessing a better record having only played three games is almost meaningless. That being said I do believe the Clippers have a higher than the Thunder with the Spurs having the highest ceiling of all three teams. The Clippers obvious and glaring weakness isn't their team it's mostly their coach.

[Stabula]

One additional thought: if I were a Thunder fan (which I most definitely am not) I wouldn't be worried either even with a loss to the Hawks tonight. If the Spurs lost to a team of their caliber I wouldn't think the Spurs are done for the year. I mean shit the Heat lost to the Knicks.

[lakerhaterade]

Stabula is a faggot.

[lakerhaterade]

lol satanism

[Stabula]

Grow up already. You have no idea whether I'm A) referring to classical Satanism B) referring to LaVeyan Satanism or C) am not serious about Satanism at all. I would have more optimism for the future of humanity if people like you would find more interesting ways of amusing themselves.

[lakerhaterade]

Shut up faggot. Kill yourself.

[Clipper Nation]

The Clippers obvious and glaring weakness isn't their team it's mostly their coach.

Even with that, the coaches in the Finals last year were Philbe@ner and Br:lol:lolks... Vinny might actually be better than those two despite his annoying fondness for hoarding time outs, tbh... at least he's smart enough to step aside and let CP3 do his thing instead of forcing some idiotic system on him like Mike Brown...

[Stabula]

The only Clippers game I've seen this year has been versus the Lakers but from what I saw they weren't playing as a team. It seemed they were all playing one on one basketball and totally forgot about their team mates. This is something that a coach has to remedy and I'm not confident del Negro's team even respects him.

[GuerillaBlack]

And now I'll tell you why - because OKC turned the damned ball over 20 times. This has absolutely nothing to do with Harden being gone.

So did the Rockets when they played the Hawks, but then again, Josh Smith also played. Him and Westbrook have similar basketball.brains.

[thunderfan]

If I'm Westbrook and I've got Martin on the floor with me and the guy is hitting everything he throws up, I kinda start considering maybe looking for him, especially when I'm shooting about 20% on the night. Nope...not Russell!

[Ace]

Westbrook at this rate will have himself on the trading block in no time. His IQ is on the level of JR Smith.

[Latarian Milton]

westchuck never misses a chance of establishing himself as a monkeyballer even further tbh. nigga has everything in him that a great player is supposed to have, except for a brain that contains more than one cell

[thunderfan]

The guy will leave you shaking your head and throwing shit a lot of times. He's spectacular in many aspects, but he could very well be what's holding OKC back.

[Jodelo]

And nice dunk by Teague on Durant, btw...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI7P1dawXE8

[thunderfan]

OKC's 20 turnovers...to put that in persective...that's the equivalent of crossing halfcourt on every possession for roughly an entire QUARTER and passing the ball to an Atlanta player. You ain't winning doing that shit.

[fukyoteamclown]

fukyoteamclown...u worried?

Good takes btw.
