David Aldridge @daldridgetnt
(http://twitter.com/daldridgetnt)OKC says Russell Westbrook had arthroscopic surgery today on right knee after it swelled b/c of a loose stitch. Out first 4-6 wks of season.

[AchillesHeel]

:lmao

4-6 weeks from now or from season opener? God I hope so. Spurs were the 1st seed last season up until the Parker injury, hopefully the WB injury will mean we finish 1st in the West.

Looks like Durant will be going for that MVP early this year.

You mean scoring title.

[jeebus]

Nice. Durant surrounded by a bunch of scrubs. He's going to average 30 shots a night

[baseline bum]

My nigga Beverley. :tu

[elmanutres]

Durant gonna be in lebron in cleaveland mode

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Because of a loose stitch? Guess if you commit that many fashion crimes eventually the threads will fight back.

[jeebus]

My nigga Beverley. :tu
Easily one of my favorite players.

Plays a lot like Manu; very reckless but talented.

Laker docs aren't that reckless considering they're paid well.

This is what happens to an organization that's so stingy with money, tbh.

From what I've heard, Kirby's "stitches" are made out of kevlar or some shit like that.

No surprises; Kobe is the Buss family cash cow. If he goes, they're fucked.

loose stitch sinks ships, tbh

This reminds me of Gilbert Arenas a LOT.

Patrick Beverley (born July 12, 1988) is an American professional basketball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball) player who currently plays for the Houston Rockets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Rockets) of the NBA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA). He was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Lakers) in the 2009 NBA Draft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_NBA_Draft), and then traded to the Miami Heat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Heat) for a future 2011 second round draft pick and an undisclosed amount of cash.


:lol Fredo

[OKC]

Well assuming that's the end all and he ends up 100% its not just that huge of a hit, although I guess it probably could end up putting them back a notch or two in the playoff seeding. Or...to those who claim Westbrook is a cancer...I guess OKC just got better?

[OKC]

If one wants to reach for positivity, I guess you could say this forces Jackson and Lamb to be thrown to the wolves early, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think Jackson could end up being a big time player. I wouldn't call it a big stretch to say he could potentially be in the running for 6th man this year.

Lol he is a cancer... Durant can't do it on his own.

True, but your coach thinks Derek Fisher is a very good PG.

"No Harden, no problem" - Thunderup:lol dat franchise is going back and not foward to der sonic days... Cuz of it u will see KD on anotha team when he is a FA... Gr8 job presti... :tu

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

WAIT, Leo and CN, I thought since a player hasn't been injured before it doesn't mean they can get in a serious injury?!

[OKC]

Yeah I know....that's unfortunate.

[Buddy Mignon]

I wonder if Duncan has any loose stitches in his ass due the pounding he's been taking tbis off season.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I could respond, but I'm going to be the bigger man and do what Kobe wishes he could do.

Walk away.

[Clipper Nation]

Clearly this injury could have been prevented by Westbrick never dunking in his life and only shooting inefficient midrange jumpers :cry

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

and only shooting inefficient midrange jumpers :cry

Sorry that's just LeBron. But, practice makes perfect.

Players that rely on athletisicm = LOL

[Clipper Nation]

Midrange shots are inefficient by nature, that's why coaches are starting to encourage their players to shoot less of them..... btw, I thought you were :cry "just trolling" :cry with that horrid LeBron take? :lol

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Midrange shots are inefficient by nature


lmao

IS THAT SO?

:lmao

SO WAIT, LeBron can't make a shot because it's in his genes?

:lmao

okay, i'll give you that

[AchillesHeel]

Walk away.

:lmao

[Clipper Nation]

:lol What do LeBron's genes have to do with it? You're retarded...

[racm]

IIRC LeBron excels in post scoring, slashing, and 3s. His weakness is pulling up for a long 2, and that's how SA played him, tbh.

He's got the 50/40 down pat. If he improves his FTs NBA = f:lolcked

[RD2191]

My nigga Beverley. :tu
:lol:tu

[racm]

Jeremy Lin tore his meniscus, missed the playoffs, then played 82 games the next season.

Seems to be Thunder docs being underpaid, tbh.

[Rogue]

TOSB kobe will end up coming back sooner than WC :lmao

This guy never made any precautions taking it in the ass. AIDS:lol

OKC will not win a ring with RW at the point. He's not smart enough, not poised enough, and doesn't use the tools around him. Even MJ had to use his team to win.

[Rogue]

Oh... I thought they were done being considered a championship contender when they shipped Harden out.

[OKC]

He's a hell of a player. I can't disagree with some of your points. Ive said before I think their title kind of hinges on RW and his court management and decision making. I love Ibaka's game and I think his ceiling is still really high, but RW has had him and Perk in the frontcourt for awhile now and as good of a weapon as Ibaka is offensively (he basically led the NBA in shooting % from 10-18 feet last year on high volume shooting)..he still lacks finishing ability and a post game. Hell, for a couple of seasons, Ibaka couldn't even catch a damn pass from RW. We know Perk has a hard time doing 2 things at once as well so RW was kind of stuck playing hero ball for awhile with 2 frontcourt players who he had next to zero confidence in as far as guys who he could rely on to catch and finish.

[Calispursfan11]

I believe this is Durant's chance to be alpha. Indeed if he fails to be alpha now, then OKC is looking at a very low playoff seed or possibly missing the playoffs entirely. Six weeks is a long time for your second and arguably first best player to miss in the hotly contested West playoff jockeying.

Jackson Fantasy value is going up up up up.

Honestly, OKC would probably be no lower than a 6 seed even if RW never stepped on the court this season...as if that's really much consolation.

You may be right. I tend to be in what i think is still the minority - those who think RW could be better than Durant if given the support. He is a natural leader even if his court sense needs some work.

[Rogue]

Westchuck is the alpha of this team but it has more to do with Durant's inborn beta property than the leading talent that WC is said to have, imho. Durant is a humble dude while WC has more interest in drawing attention from fans and media, if anything.
