Durant gets booed mercilessly but hits the first shot. This will be fun
This game has crazy energy

I hope OKC stomps on the Warriors. Unlikely, but one can hope.
Well, at least the first quarter was fun.

He may get under 40% at this pace.

The Warriors are just ridiculously stacked. Must be great to be a GSW fan but it's freakin ridiculous how good this team is. And just to pour salt in the wound, this over matched OKC team would still shred the NYK.

defense as much as they ran their mouths down 20, they would be a very good team.

Roberson has to realize he may be the worst offensive player in NBA history. He's a fucking scrub in the highest regard.

that Durant left, considering they support a franchise that basically did the same to Seattle.

The Thunder once had Westbrook, Durant, Harden, Ibaka, Reggie Jackson, Eric Bledsoe and Jeff Green. They traded most of them away and have turned the team over to Westbrook. He's a great player but I'm not sure he's a great leader.

I think he's an excellent player but his attitude is shit and while many will love what he is doing, I hate his game this year. Russell has and always will be about russell. If he cares so much about winning, play some defense once in awhile.

He will probably finish 1 or 2 in mvp voting, but his style of game will never win. Talking shit down 20? Spare me.

He's averaging a triple double, and if he finishes the season with those stats he is the MVP. Only one other player has ever done that
Harden is the MVP now

And there are numerous players who have been better than RW this year. Dont mistake volume with greatness.

BigBlueShock : 2/12/2017 11:28 am : link
His style of play did just fine and they won plenty when he had Durant next to him. He's doing it all by himself now. Nobody can win by themselves, that's why LeBron keeps running around to the teams with the most talent. I'm sure if you put Westbrook on the Warriors his style of play would be just fine and we wouldn't be having this discussion. There's not a player in the NBA that would be leading the Thunder to a title this year if you swapped them out with Westbrook.

He's obviously butt hurt by Durant taking the chicken shit way to a title and leaving him and the team high and dry. Which is well within Durant rights, and maybe you'd handle it differently, but Westbrook is who he is and he's gonna let Durant know about it. That's well within his rights too, just as it is the fans. You're apparently a stoic professional that loves the quiet type and doesn't have any wiggle room for different personalities. You proved that with Beckham this season. Now it's Westbrooks turn to feel your wrath. If it gets you through the day, carry on...
His team is not good  
hitdog42 : 2/12/2017 11:30 am : link
I have no idea what you expect.
It's like you are rah rahing Durant last night - who could score 10 points in most games and his team still wins by 20.

The only way okc wins is if Westbrook has amazing volume- and anyone that has that volume on offense is going to have to relax on defense. TThough rebouncing is a defensive contribution...
Do you lebron is playing good d nowadays? Your MVP harden really crushing it defensively?
The thunder went game 7 against the warriors last year- clearly Westbrook is also about winning.

It just proves that your axe to grind is Westbrooks personality, not his playing style. You kill him for his defense yet keep blowing Harden who is every bit as bad on defense. What's Harden ever won without Durant and Westbrook, since you say Westbrook can never win anything?

Harden's team is 3rd in the west and exceding all expectations. And I am no Harden fan either. His supporting cast is no worse than Westbrooks. The Rockets exceeding expectations is why he is MVP.

Amazing volume leads to a 7th seed in the west? Why cant Westbrook be a leader on the defensive end? RW has the potential to be the best defensive guard in the NBA with his quickness, strength, and IQ - but he doesnt play any now. Adams, Oladipo, and Roberson are all above average/great defenders. OKC has the potential to be one of the best defensive teams in the NBA - but their leader refuses to play any whatsoever. The Thunder have as much/better talent than teams like the Jazz, Rockets, and Grizzlies.

I am sorry but not defending just so you can rebound, shoot 42% from the floor on volume shooting, and not defending doesnt impress me. They are pace to be the 7th seed in the west. If they get hot, maybe the 6th seed. He hasnt been better than KD, Curry, Lebron, Harden, and a few others he has been on a similar level this year.

And Lebrons defense? Yeah, watch him come playoff time. Great example.

Jim in Hoboken : 2/12/2017 11:54 am : link
couldn't score with this roster, if he has to go 1-on-5 all game.

That aside, we can debate all night who's the better player, Harden or Westbrook, but the point is, would you rather have Westbrook invite Durant to stay over at his home last night and then be all buddy buddy on the court?

I'd rather have Westbrook on my team then all these ring chasing pussies (Durant #1) and super teams around the league. Why the fuck do we watch then?

Never said I thought it was cool. I just don't overreact like you do because you have some weird fucking obsession with the guy all of the sudden. And if he wants to chirp at Durant for being a coward, I have no problem with it. Durant deserves all the heat he gets. So, his team is down by 20 to an All Star team? How dare them! That team could have competed for a championship this year if Durant didn't run to a team that had the all time best record in the NBA WITHOUT him last year. If Westbrook wants to let him know what he thinks of him, I have no problem with it. Score of the game is irrelevant. It's personal with them at this point.
you know this is a thread  
dep026 : 2/12/2017 12:06 pm : link
about the thunder right? Westbrook's name is bound to get mentioned.

And I dont give a rats ass if its personal. If he needs to get fired up because his buddy isnt there to carry him anymore instead of trying to beat the best team in the NBA..... then maybe he does care more about himself than winning?

I dont agree with what Durant for a second, but its becoming really clear why he did it. Maybe its because Durant didnt want to play with his antics anymore?
And its only personal to Westbrook  
dep026 : 2/12/2017 12:06 pm : link
I am sure Durant could give a rats ass what RW thinks while Durant continues to be the clear 2nd best player in the league.

All one on ones. You keep bringing up that he's nothing more than a volume shooter. Except you keep completely ignoring the fact that he averages a triple double. You realize that means that he's averaging double digit assist AND rebounds as well as scoring? Oh right, he's not all world defense too. Pfffft. He sucks. Only cares about scoring. Doesn't care about winning. I guess he's just pissed at Durant for leaving because, ummm, because, well I'm not sure why he's pissed at Durant then, He's got his scoring and they aren't winning so he must be happy! Right? What a weird vendetta. Pick the one weakness to his game and absolutely kill him incessantly about it.

Who was too much of a pussy to fight for a championship on his own. If ya can't beat em, join em! Even after his fake ass killed LeBron for doing the same thing. Except LeBron didn't join the team that already had the greatest regular season record of all time, WITHOUT him. I'm sure Durant doesn't care about Westbrook. It's easy to ignore someone when you have a free ride to the championship. Easy to have the last laugh. Durant couldn't win a championship with Westbrook and Harden, so he had to go to a team with some talent, I suppose. What a champion!

Yes I said westbrook sucks.

Saying he isn't the mvp means he sucks. Great argument you got going there. And I said he's a volume player. Huge difference. He is a 1 on 1 player since the ball is always in his hands.

And you're right... who cares about defense....... pfft.
