    So did you criticize Roy for not participating in the Olympics practices I assume? Or does GO not fulfilling your fantasies mean he's your sole target?

    So GO is getting platinum pussy and having a good time who gives a shit. I'd rather he come into camp happy from banging fucking hotties then depressed and listless from answering media questions at a non-obligatory event that means about Jack fucking Squat to this team.

    If he is skipping out on rehabbing then grill him. I seem to remember him absolutely busting fucking ass last summer per Bayno.

    I get tired of all the negative nancies on this board and elsewhere poring over Oden's every off-court move and comparing it to equally unimportant bullshit around Durant.

    Is Durant a better pick thus far based on performance on the court, including BEING on the fucking court? Well fucking duh. I didn't exactly need to phone NASA and have them put together a think tank to piece that together for me.

    Do I give two shits about how Durant and Oden respectively spend their off season off court time? No I couldn't give two shits.

    If Oden doesn't deliver this year then ship him out (likely to watch him explode on a major media market team). If on the other hand he does deliver I hope you and all the other haters get the fuck on up off his jock and start giving him props.

    LOL. See and people think he's not lifting weights in his free time. We got photographic evidence to the contrary right there.

    Why isn't Greg supporting our summer league team right now!!!!


    wait, I'm being handed a note...It reads "our summer league hasn't started yet".

    Well...I guess that answers that.

    All hyperbole aside, I really can't understand the folks (and there are some here) who hate on Durant. He is a good player and seems like a nice enough kid....what's the problem?

    The last couple of years, there have been a few posters here who bend over backwards to find reasons to rip on Durant.

    That's just as stupid as the Oden hate and for the mirror image reason.

    Don't confuse fans wanting to see Oden a part the team while rehabbing as "hate." The local media called Oden out on being MIA in the playoffs and rightly so. It would be a nice gesture if he showed up for summer league to root the team on and help coach the young guys like some other NBA players do. If he's healthy enough to hang at a Vegas cabana party, he can show up for a day or two in Summer League.

    Well personally, I don't think Kevin Durant is as good as advertised. But I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate him.

    Before last year I most certainly noticed that his team was way better with him off the court than on - but it is clear that he worked hard last summer on his defense - and this is no longer the case. Dude is a stud.

    A better comparison is asking if he goes to after hour work functions for other companies who he doesn't work for.

    Yep. It's IMHO part of the job to go golf, attend birthday/retirement parties and join company sponsored teams like softball and the Hood To Coast relay.

    If you hate your job, then I suppose you do the very minimum and could care less about how you are perceived by coworkers and those who cut the checks (CTC!). I suppose it's the difference between a guy like Rasheed and Durant.

    Nice to see a superstar that's a true hoops junkie ... cause you'd have to be to watch a ton of summer league.

    How do you KNOW he is rehabbing - right now?

    We KNOW Durant is currently supporting his team.
