    this is what I'm afraid of. Russel was so angry at Bev he started taking shots that should have been Durant's. there were times in the 3rd and 4th that he didnt touch the ball or take a shot for what seemed like hours.

    Durant is exposed now, I dont think the Thunder can even win this series without "Russy"

    There's no way he can return for this playoffs. It's in his own interests to let it heal completely. You saw how long Lin took to recover from this...

    Wow, horrible for them. I always hated how he would hold grudges in games with who his match up was. Bad karma. Never wish that on anyone though. I didn't think it was a dirty play either.

    Dont care for Westbrook too much, but never wish any injury on a player...hoping that the injury isnt as debilitating...
    Sad to know see that this injury is going to be the focal point of focus for the Thunder in game 3 and expect to see retaliation on Beverly if he decides to go among the trees this game...

    And they always have cheap shot Derek Fisher to come in every once in a while...

    Wishing him a speedy recovery..

    man, i'd hate Beverly if i were an OKC fan...I know he didn't mean any harm, but he did cause it....

    I wonder if they do beat us would he be back in the playoffs or not...Of course with him out and the series chaning venues now, if we win game 3, we should have a real shot of beating them.

    I don't mean to sound bad, but WB out is actually not such a bad thing for OKC. Because now Durant has free reign in everything. And we saw what happened during the last few seconds of last game when that happens.

    Didn't he play the whole second half with it?

    Can't he just play with it?

    Hate to see him go down, but this does give us a fighting chance now, I must say.
