    "Russ is such a fearless warrior" narrative in effect. ESPN starting to look like fake news.

    When you have 3 stars who think they can do it all, it just doesn't work.
    I am sure every time WB jacks up a shot, PG or Melo is thinking they should have taken it...and same thing either one of shoots, WB is like damn it I should have shot it.
    It just doesn't feel like there's synergy between the stars. Just a lot of dribble dribble..ok you try..dribble dribble...ok me me me!

    L.O.L.

    ESPN has to be trolling WB right? No way there seriously think WB got the best of Rubio today.

    The difference between OKC and Houston fans is Clutchfans will be the loudest Harden's critic after a bad game. Westbrook can do no wrong in OKC's fans' eyes.
    Billy Donovan is BY FAR the greatest problem for OKC fans. Then it's (in this order) Melo, referees, bench, Paul George. Whoever invented the phrase "blind homerism", he must have had OKC and Westbrook on his mind.

    They are fake news but as much as I dislike Cowherd it will be fun watching him roast Russ. I do get a feeling that there is a backlash growing against him now. I do hate how the narrative will prevent Clint from getting MIP that will go to Oladipo who was already a 20pt a game scorer before Russ trashed him.

    if russ loses in the first round with the players around him it's gonna go down as one of the greatest chokes in the history of the nba.

    no blaming donovan or anybody. this is all on russ.

    harden got dragged through the mud for losing to the ****ing warriors with kevin mchale as his coach and no post game having dwight.

    russ gotta get all the smoke.

    Because Russ, unlike Harden:

    - never flops
    - never takes off a play
    - is likable
    - doesn't have any help
    - is loyal
    - fights the noble fight after all of his friends leave him
    - trip duuubz!

    kenny showing how westbrook's persesitance on "shutting down rubio" had a negative effect on their team defense with footage to back up his claim while shaq's dumbass making excuses for westbrook.

    People always discount defense over stars. Like I said, nobody wants to play utah right now, and like I said, Rubio was never the problem in sota, and like I said gordon hayward went to the wrong team.
    Utah is the next memphis grizzlies. They are a team that beats high profile teams by playing fundamental basketball.

    It's that Mitchell dude. Without him they would not have traded Rodney Hood......

    Without him they would have less O to go by.

    I dun recall Memphis having this kind of scoring guard....
