Russ is lakers bound. He already has a fashion sense inspired by the gay community in l.a.
He and Durant are the only 2 good pieces for the Thunder, tbh. The rest of the team is . Presti doesn't have lottery picks to lean on anymore, and his 2 man team isn't really going to do much from here on out. OKC hasn't been a relevant team of any kind since Miami pushed their in last Summer followed by Houston raping them in the Harden trade. They will never recover from either incident given their ty location. The only excitement left for OKC is where will Westbrook and Durant bolt to when their contracts are up?

They finished first in the West last season and won 60 games and were up 2 - 0 before Westbrook got injured... Losing Harden was obviously a big deal but K-Mart wasn't that bad. With the Spurs getting older OKC will still be a force in the West in the future unless acneface or alpha gets badly injured or leaves.
Spurs were on a tear in the playoffs...OKC wasn't going to stop them. Memphis's bigs were too much for them to handle. Maybe OKC gets past Memphis, but they weren't beating SA, without or without Westbrook.
It wasn't about the bigs, it was about OKC not having enough scoring power to counter them, you add in Westbrook, who is a 20+ ppg scorer and OKC wins the series quite easily.
I think OKC probably beats Memphis with Westbrook. Memphis did win in 5, with all of their wins being very close games that could have easily gone OKC's way. As far as beating SA, I'm not sure about that. SA was looking very very good, but it would have been a good series with a healthy OKC roster.
Agree. They were all close games with OKC missing their 20+ ppg 8+ ast PG. OKC would probably win in 6 games with ease.
Matchups are a big thing. Ask the Spurs...they had much more firepower than Memphis in the playoff series loss, but couldn't overcome it. And OKC wasn't getting past SA...you can't convince me of that...or most everyone else in here, tbh.
I'm a big fan of WB. Aside from his athleticism, I love his work ethic and compe iveness. The only basketball-related reason that I think he gets hate from is that he tends to try to be the alpha of the team which is very detrimental to them. The other reasons for people hating him - his get-up, frog face, gangsta behavior - are not really basketball related criticisms. Perhaps it's just the way people, who behave like this, normally treat people/strangers around them.
Westbrook is just one of those players that's easy to not like if he's not wearing your team's jersey. All of these people here who talk constant about him though would do a complete 180 the day he put on their jersey. That's just the way it is.
Really? Hmm...I've always found him to be one of the most overrated players in the league.
Don't really see how he 'doesn't get enough respect'. That's like saying Blake Griffin needs more of a media presence.
Westbrook is needed to take mental pressure off Durant. If Durant messes up, Westbrook will be the martyr the media targets so that Durant may continue to be babied.
Durant in 6 years has made 1 finals, where he was embarrassed.
Lebron in his first 6 years made 1 finals and was embarrassed.
How come nobody is making Durant rings jokes and calling him a choker who can't succeed when the pressure is on? Oh, because he's not the best player in the league threatening Kobe's legacy...
He is in Lebron James's time and Lebron was in nobody's time as Kobe Bryant was not making an impact with a sub-par team and ball dominant at ude. Lebron was fortunate to be a rising star in a battlefield of Veterens in their primes where there was nobody else making a rivaling argument for the future NBA superstar.
from the day he got drafted until that year he made the finals, he was playing during the Spurs time. they were reigning champs when he heard his name called during the draft, and in 07 the spurs had their easiest walk to the le since 99. once that season was over, the boston superteam came together, and the lakers got the gift, leaving LeBron with his ragtag band of role players against teams with multiple stars. he never stood a chance
The Spurs might have dominated from 2003-2007, but they remained irrelevant to the media. I would not take offense to that or be saddened by it, nobody likes the media unless they are fellating your team.
RW over dribbles, doesn't see teammates until he's completely out of options and is a cancer to his team for that reason. They are better without him. They need a pass first PG, good perimeter defense and someone to rest Ibaka (or him to rest someone).
Oh.. and a coach.

Really why does everything come back to Kirby comparisons. No wonder the Laker trolls embarrass you on a daily basis. You weak, kid.
Speaking of weak, how's that ACL coming along?
It's coming along great, beta .
I'm not a . I'm Native American. You know, like those people you Ok s like to pretend to care about? Shot any joggers lately?
Then you're weaker than I thought. You got that ancestral defeatist blood flowing in you. You should naturally assume your position in this discourse partner.
People know not to step near my property or on my road. Nobody s with this.
You and Technique must hang together. While you're busy being a minuteman for your 1/8th of an acre on a septic tank, he's out ing your wife.
