    Perhaps you can give me some pointers on how best to do it then. ;)

    Well, if it's any consolation, the game was pretty much over by the end of the first quarter. That was good for my blood pressure after the Clippers game.

    I swear it's been like this since he fell on his thumb about a month ago. You didn't hear much about it after the game, but his scoring and outside shooting dipped after that game.

    Wouldn't surprise me if it's bothering him and he's just toughing it out.

    Westbrook interfered with inbounding the ball three times. First one he grabbed the ball; on another he kicked the ball across the court while Dame was trying to pick it up; on another he fouled the inbounder while both were out of bounds. No call by the bitches in stripes on any of them. Then there was the time he was pissed off at the call, so he grabbed the ball at half court and threw it clear over the end line out of bounds. He didn't get called for that either. Honest to fucking god I've never seen more spineless refs in my life.

    Posts like this really baffle me. How can anybody who has ANY thread of common sense of the game of basketball claim that Westbrook is overrated. PLEASE! Thats just pure stupidity coming out right there. Same as these clowns that don't recognize Harden's greatness or Kobe. Preface your statement by saying you hate the way he talks shit or always wants to fight somebody or gets away with shit out there, but to fucking claim his basketball talents are overrated is straight trash. Wine about Harden's flopping, but don't question his court vision. Claim you are a Blazer homer and if you aren't in the scarlet and black the other players are trash........but to say one of the most gifted and amazing players in the game right now is overrated is ridiculous. Couldn't say if I've ever read anything you posted has stuck with me in the past, but I hope future ones are more thought out than this.

    Crazy huh bro? Got home Monday night at 2:30AM....was at work at 1 yesterday and we leave in about 4 hours to Denver. Ya this stretch is a tuff one bro. Last night wife did some laundry for me. Just got the little HCPs to school and heading home to pack.
    My job sometimes is bananas, but I love it. I get paid to watch sports. Was just texting with the wife and reminded her that between the end of last season and the beginning of this one I had 105 days off at home. Thats more than 3 months off, most of my amigos only get 2-3 WEEKS off a year. It can be tough being away from family for sure though, especially this time of year.

    I put you on blast and gave you a chance to redeem yourself with facts or stats and you come back with an "I know you are but what am I response" Lame as fuck bro! Keep bringing the heat kid.

    Only by your lack of knowledge of the game this forum is based upon. At Starbucks and just shared your post..... people from all walks of life are laughing at you as I type. But you're probably used to this.
