    doesn't matter. they won 8 more games so they should be that much better apparently. "big difference" so now its lillard sucks. some of you just like to train your mind to think a situation is dramatically different just bc but reality just says otherwise

    Or maybe, subconsciously, he means us! They were built to beat iso-ball Houston! We are in the media's head for sure...:cool:

    Can't believe they scheduled the OKC game the same time as the Rockets game..

    Hopefully the Rockets can take care of business so I can devote some of my energy to an OKC L.

    They don't really have a choice. There has to be some overlap with four different Game 5's on tonight. They've gotta get the first round wrapped up. Hopefully the Rockets can help them with that by finishing off the T'Wolves.

    I know we're all rooting for the same thing here, but I can't help but have a tiny part of me want OKC to win tonight. The longer this series gets extended, the less games Luc will have to miss in the next round.

    my desire to see an OKC L and their demise is so irritational at this point that logic has gone out the window for me

    LOL, that didn't take long. "Westbrook clearly just doesn't have the talent around him like Mitchell does."

    Enes Kanter is one thirsty mother****er. At this point, he'd probably go back and play for OKC for free.

    Absolutely amazing. OK3 was supposed to push the Warriors for western conference supremacy. Now, Rachel, who is a card carrying member of the Russ fan club, all of sudden, says it's not an upset if Utah wins the series.

    Yup,...

    Utah had the Triple-Dub MVP
    Utah had the 2-way All-Star Playoff P
    Utah was the expected 2nd/3rd seed
    Utah was the team that could/would challenge Golden State the most

    I mean, OKC is just happy & lucky to be here. No one expected them to even make the playoffs, let alone win 47 games. They overachieved & should be applauded for such a great season.

    WAIT.A.SECOND...

    :D:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Keep handin' out them free passes media! Do your thing!

    "Billy Donovan just isn't a good coach! Just not the right coach for OKC! Scott Brooks & Billy Donovan? Are you serious! Russ has never had a good coach!"

    "Paul George isn't a winner! There's a reason they call him George Paul & Indiana let him go for nothing! Look, he left for the lousy Lakers! Don't tell me he's a winner! Not Westbrook's fault Durant and George left!

    "Carmelo? That guy is washed and we only got him for anus cancer! And when has he ever been a winner?"

    Chuck just said he guaranteed an OKC win.. Also said it's not Westbrook's fault they are struggling.

    Whenever Russ gets a pass I'm reminded that Harden will never get a pass. I still remember when Harden was with OKC coming off the bench, the media blamed him for losing in the finals against Lebron. Even back then, despite being the 3rd best player behind KD and Russ, and the Heat specifically trying to shut him down, Harden got blamed.
