@thunderbolt On to the next...
Can someone give me the count on what season we're in now for the Lakers? We still in 8 with a Win streak of 1? or are we in season 9 undefeated?
@<--A Benz can make me dance I thought they were still in the preseason.
@KD's Pocket Guide To Defying Physics ****TEARS****
I literally Laughed out loud.
Trey Burke is also one of the best PG prospects..he is really good people underestimate him
I think Russ' outburst was due to one thing... he had a good stat line going, and he didn't wanna get the TO. Simple.
@Tronchaser
I feel the same way. What he did wasn't the end of the world. A dude can loose his temper...lol
@Tronchaser i think its something deeper than that but the media and fans will never know about it cause it'll stay in the locker room...

@MJOKC @kennygee90 @Tronchaser How about Russ called the play in English and Thabo only speak french?
Just made that up since we dwelling on it lol
@Tronchaser Gilbert Arenas brought a shottie to the gym over a disagreement. You all ODing on an argument where a dude took a breather to collect himself and came back to win a game....
OKC need more drama...no worries. I'll be there in a couple weeks.
@<--A Benz can make me dance Tric... I was more joking than anything else. I didn't have a problem with Russ doing that, because I've done it myself. :)
@Tronchaser It wasnt really aimed at you lol...just replying...
lol @ Tric....

@1 Knee 4 Points 5 Rebounds 35 Million Dollars That is the best one of those Geico commercials I've seen.
What's with all the hyphenated names these days with athletes?
what does carter williams do that impresses people?
@see-mittens He's a10-15 range player for a reason relax
@Lost Ones That doesn't answer the question. Seriously. What does he do that has made him be a lotto player?
@Lost Ones @KD4theWin smart is a pg
@Lost Ones @see-mittens he's smaller but what do I care, he is huge for a PG, yes he is a PG
@KD4theWin @see-mittens smarts a 2 guard and smaller
@see-mittens @Lost Ones he has potential he is a mismathc for every point guard he plays...he has long arms he steals many passes he is good defender usuing his size well..but he has to work on his shot, he has good pass first mentality, I like him, but I think I'll rather take Smart instead of him, cause he is younger and has more upside
@see-mittens He has great court vision, solid defender, can score if open he's pretty clutch(imo) , ok handles needs to learn how to dribble lower etc
If RW's emotional outbursts don't bother teammates, then they are a non story period. No matter how much Steve Kerr and the national media tell us it is.
@FF_pickups I told a friend the same thing! We need a WEST -BROOK chant to rock throughout the Peake on Monday!
@FF_pickups Here's the reason it's going to be a story down the road...because this team doesn't have James Harden or a fully rehabbed Eric Maynor to smooth out the rough patches in post season when Russell melts down and goes into emotional shutdown mode. That's why it's a story.
@FF_pickups Westbrook was left out of the Broingtons, his teammates just tolerate him.
@[censored] @FF_pickups good times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omcDyNcwYiI

@MJOKC @[censored] @FF_pickups Jeff Green. That's the chemistry piece we're missing. Our personal Lebron stopper also was the glue that kept RW in check
@novelisticbee0 @MJOKC @[censored] @FF_pickups that crew>>>>>>>>>>>>
@MJOKC @[censored] @FF_pickups He's part of the RN Crew with Maynor and Reggie. Lol SMH
@FF_pickups Im sure his teammates didnt even know he was that mad until asked the question, KD and Serge go at it all the time.
@Lost Ones @FF_pickups From Darnell it sounds like KD and Serge want to kill each other on the court. But off it the act like they're boys. KD was Serge's coach for the Slam Dunk competition, and don't they usually go to clubs together?
Since Jeremy Lamb is not with the team tonight, I hope he's moving his couch so he's not breaking fire code anymore. I just hope he's not doing it himself what with the strained back and all.
@KD's Pocket Guide To Defying Physics his back still messed up :(
@KD's Pocket Guide To Defying Physics Haha! That sectional was terrible. What was he thinking with that rug too?
@Old Man Game He must really like chocolate brown
@Old Man Game @KD's Pocket Guide To Defying Physics probably hadn't gotten his NBA check yet so he just went to Big Lots.
@1 Knee 4 Points 5 Rebounds 35 Million Dollars LOL, that DID look like something you'd get at Big Lots.
One more day till the superbowl !
@kennygee90
Who ya going for, kenny? :)
@ThunderChick2010 Ravens all day everyday !
@kennygee90 @ThunderChick2010 At last we agree upon something. That's who KD will root for as well so real Thunderfans will root for the Ravens
@kennygee90 and the Puppy Bowl!!
Part of me wonders, if it wasn't for basketball...would Russell be a sociopath?
@reddirt717 No. I think exactly the opposite. I think at the core he's a really good dude. I think he's a quiet, somewhat introverted kid. If he weren't playing ball...he'd just be like you and me....a good dude living his life.
@El Prez @reddirt717 russ plays with an edge cause of his dead friend. i remember seeing a small documentary about it
@IWasGervin @Legendary_Dork @El Prez @reddirt717 I think only part of it is his friend. Not making excuses for him, but think about Russ' basketball career. Basically told that he wasn't good enough to play ball, that one coach that told him to do track instead. He worked hard to get where he is today. Let's not act like Russ doesn't recognize when he gets like that. I'm the same way when I get frustrated, and when I calm down I apologize to who I might have hurt/offended.
@Legendary_Dork @El Prez @reddirt717 In all seriousness though, he can't pin anger problems on his dead friend. I used to pin my anger problems on my dead brother and the way my mom was growing up for years. And while there is some true to some of my own issues being rooted in that, I'm still responsible for my own decisions. I make the choice to throw something. Not my dead brother and not my mom. Sorry. TMI
@Legendary_Dork @El Prez @reddirt717 Dorrel Wright says, "The anger that Russell plays with and the aggressiveness on the court, that's Kelsay"
@Legendary_Dork @El Prez @reddirt717 Dorrell Wright. We should get him
@Legendary_Dork @El Prez @reddirt717 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8c9IGM2iW8
@reddirt717 I doubt it. Some people just get "That way" when in competitve events like sports.
@1 Knee 4 Points 5 Rebounds 35 Million Dollars @reddirt717 He's ultra competitive, imo that's his best trait.
@1 Knee 4 Points 5 Rebounds 35 Million Dollars @reddirt717 I get it. Most people who know me would say 90% of the time I'm a happy, easy going person. Outside of close family most would never believe that I can be a big baby when it comes to competition and have a bad temper once I get pushed too far. But that's about 5% of my life. If some of my sports blowups were on National TV people would call me a sociopath on TV too, but most the people who know me outside of those few moments (mostly my family) wouldn't even believe I'm capable of getting angry
@reddirt717 in real life everyone says Russell is one of the most easy going guys in the world and doesn't talk a lot. It's not just Durant that sticks up for him. What about K-Love. He knows Russell the best. Finally, even media folks like Darnell (who I am positive hates Russell) says that outside of games and forced media sessions he seems like a chill dude
@IWasGervin @reddirt717 ive heard one story of russ being a total and complete asshole, and it was from a hooters waiters of all girls. She said that russ and company *kd and crew* were all eating privately and every time she came to the table to talk russ would be like..honey...sorry, were talking. she then proceeded to tell me he was rude and UGLY. i was like
*glare* >.> ...........so a girl whom comes over to interrupt a conversation from a group of basketball super stars.....isnt rude? lol
@Legendary_Dork @IWasGervin @reddirt717 Wait a minute. I was with you up until the glare....
She HAS to go up to them and ask them if they are ready to order regardless if they are talking or not. How is that dumb. Thats how customers get at you...they realize they been sitting there for half an hour and no one came to ask them their order. Then they take it out on you and dont tip!. Now if she could say...call me when you're ready, but in NY...that is considered too damn much. She aint have to say he was ugly, but they get paid more on tips than anything! She is not dumb for asking him what they wanted to order in the middle of a conversation.
@MJOKC @IWasGervin @Legendary_Dork @reddirt717 longback ass broads. The back bone connects to the *clap* calf bone! Those chics make Ke$ha look bootylicious http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc107/bastardlybutta/bastardly-photos/album162/kesha-swimsuit03241008.jpg
And yea they sat at the table when they take our order, but I wasn't fooled or impressed
@1 Knee 4 Points 5 Rebounds 35 Million Dollars @Legendary_Dork @reddirt717 they have some decent wings at Hooters, but I'd rather go to BWW. Sorry Troy, but I don't like Wing Stop
@1 Knee 4 Points 5 Rebounds 35 Million Dollars I've always said Hooters is a family friendly strip club. Sometimes the waitresses will even come sit at your table to chat you up like strippers do when they're fishing to get you to buy a lap dance.
@IWasGervin @Legendary_Dork @reddirt717 talk about false advertising. I got the Alaskan king crab, it was site. It was tons of creepy old dudes there that had been there like all day, and then weird ass dads who had like 6 yr olds with them
@IWasGervin @1 Knee 4 Points 5 Rebounds 35 Million Dollars @Legendary_Dork @reddirt717 smh, what's the point of going to hooters then lol
@1 Knee 4 Points 5 Rebounds 35 Million Dollars @Legendary_Dork @reddirt717 most girls at hooters aren't well-endowed. Last time I went there with my wife she was laughing at the bust size of all the girls just because it's a place called "Hooters."
@1 Knee 4 Points 5 Rebounds 35 Million Dollars @IWasGervin @reddirt717 it was the one up north off the express way. theres a sonic near it too.
@Legendary_Dork @IWasGervin @reddirt717 Wonder was it the hooters on 240. Bunch of flat ass, no tittie having, decent looking at best ass broads. I was like what is this? They weren't even scantily clad, they had on football jerseys.
And girls calling ball players and celebs ugly amuse me, like you wouldn't juggle all their balls at the drop of a hat given the opportunity. Hell, I bet his brother is gettin at that
@reddirt717 Let me report this as spam real quick
