    I bet he costs as many games as he gets trips. If not more.

    Compare that to this:



    Same opponent, same deficit, completely different result.

    POR down by 15 with 7:26 left in the game. Lillard leads them to a comeback victory and seals the deal with the game winner with 0.9 seconds left.

    OKC down by 15 with 7:30 left in the game. Westbrook goes triple double chasing and OKC actually loses ground (down by 16 when his coach finally throws in the towel and pulls Westbrook to clear the bench with 2:42 left).

    Both teams were fighting for playoff seeding and HCA. Westbrook put his own stats first and didn't even try to lead a 4th quarter comeback. Lillard put his team on his back and carried them to victory. That's the difference between a wannabe hero and the real thing.

    Russ has to drive his teammates crazy.

    I would love to ask Melo which team he'd rather be on right now.

    This is one of the worst things I've ever seen. It's right up there with the Shaun Livingston injury. Really terrible to watch.

    He already drove Durant out of Cow Town. Paul George is next. Melo sealed his own fate. After his year with Russ, no one else will come close to offering him the $28 million he'll get if he opts in and suffers through another year in OKC. If it hasn't already, after this season, word is going to get out that hitching your wagon to Russell Westbrook is the exact opposite of going ring chasing.

    I am trying to read these but the quotes are not working properly on my end. The picture in the quote is actually dropping down through the quote and covering up the response.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    Try clicking on the "Click to Expand" in the middle, see if that helps.

    Thanks. IT does help, but what is weird is not every post that quotes a picture has it running through the quote. Only the last few posts above for me.

    Good workaround, but something is definitely off.

    Sounds like a partial ban. Just bad enough so that you get mad and quit :)

    This is why I love playing against Westbrook. He hurts his team more than he helps.

    I'm more concerned that you still use mapquest.
