Not mad at the move he did for the ball, but the fact that he got injured from it.If he's still angry, he's a hypocrite. He did the same thing to Lin earlier in the game. It's time to get over himself.

this. you can tell he thinks its serious by his reaction.
What a massive chokejob by Toronto. That was even worse than our collapse in Game 6.
This. I could give a about other teams' injury problems after all the the Spurs have been through this year, plus Parker's hamstring in the Finals last year.
They had an 8 point lead in 2 OT with a opponent that played in Cleveland less than 24 hours prior and Toronto proceeds to give up not 1 not 2 but 3 3's in 49 seconds. Throw in Salmons missing 2 free throws that would have iced or at the very least allowed for 3 OT, the stage isn't nearly as big but that is an absolute embarrassing loss.What a massive chokejob by Toronto. That was even worse than our collapse in Game 6.
Spurs especially could have used that OKC loss (along with a win in Sacramento) to build a cushion entering April.
Looking at the Westbrook injury, it reminded me exactly of the Marc Gasol injury (against the Spurs) A sprained MCL. If that's the case, depending on the severity, he could be out for the rest of the season (possibly post season). But that's just an uneducated guess.
Amuseddaysleeper, this is just eerie .
least we know your bad luck isn't partial to just the Spurs.
damn this dude is seriously cursed.. amused, i mean, not chimpbrook.
Toronto for losing that game. Idiots...
Westbrook hasnt been getting injured monkeyballing
its been other guys hitting him in bad plays thats gotten him
For Derrick Rose you could say the monkeyballing got him
No it wasn't since it wasn't for the championshipWhat a massive chokejob by Toronto. That was even worse than our collapse in Game 6.
we need to find a way to harness Amused's powers for good.
TRUE, but Toronto will not sniff a game 6 or 7 in the finals soon so that is as close at will get for now. They are first or second round exits at this point.
, Thunder is much better against the Spurs without him
Yeah, hopefully is is playing if we meet in the POs.They are better against anybody without him.
Not last year against the Grizz though, they were not better without him then.
There is a difference between having to adjust within a few games, coz of an injured player...and...having about half a season to figure out lineups and so on without this player. And they did justfine with the later.
"The Thunder are better w/o Westbrook??" Where do you guys come up with this stuff?
It's this stupid narrative that ESPN reinforces by saying "Oh no, the Thunder are only 3-3 since Westbrook's return...is he the problem?!"...completely ignoring the fact that sometimes it takes some time for players to get back in rhythm and the team to get adjusted to playing with him. They also conveniently ignore how the Thunder were 21-4 in the first 25 games Westbrook came back the first time.
Who cares if Durant puts up better numbers without Westbrook. They aren't going deep in the playoffs without him. OKC is better when Westbrook is healthy, and anyone who says otherwise is clueless.
A few points.
1. I wanna play teams who are 100% healthy and win that way. I'm glad to see Westbrook is OK.
2. Anyone arguing that the Thunder are better without Westbrook is a damn idiot. They went to the Finals with him year before last, and beat a Spurs team that was absolutely spanking everybody and would've probably been a slight favorite over Miami if SA would've advanced, to getting curbstomped by a horrid Grizzlies team that we, in turn, curbstomped in the West Finals.
3. The argument that "players like Westbrook and Rose" are injury-prone is a bit ridiculous. Westbrook hadn't missed a single game in his career before Beverley went flying into his knee. He had another flare up, and then last night he just got popped in the knee in the wrong place. I will caution - everyone thought Rondo last year was fine, including Rondo himself, and everyone thought he was gonna play the next game, turned out he had a torn ACL. So, until they do the MRI I'd take any information with a grain of salt.
Not gonna lie, I predicted Westbrook's career would flame out early due to injury 2-3 years ago. The "super athlete PG" always seems to end prematurely to injury. In fact, you rarely have a super athlete player at any position actually have a full career staying a super athlete until age catches up at the proper time. They seem to crash and burn within 3-5 years a large percent of the time.
Would not be surprised if he keep going down with injuries here and there because of the kind of game he plays.
Wall had some injury problems too. He missed about half the season last year. A lot of these super athlete PGs just don't last. I didn't think even Curry would last for awhile there, and he doesn't even monkeyball.
