    If I was next to him, I think he would have Latrell Spreewelled me.

    I have no problem with players interacting with fans like that. It makes for a more interesting and intense regular season game. What i would have HATED.....was to lose to those jack asses in our building after all of that. Both Durant and Westbrook seem to feed off of it.

    I feel like the rose garden crowd bated westbrook into tiring himself out. Fan execution was perfect. At least thats how your next video should portray it.

    I received a bunch of e-mails today from Thunder fans complaining about their injuries. My responses to all of them were less than sympathetic.

    Too many freaking times we were wiped out by injuries when we played the Zombie Sonics.

    Next time, I think we should purchase PapaG a ticket next to the Thunder bench.

    Ya our whole team was decimated to its core before it even began its run. No sympathy whatsoever on my end either

    I was thinking about the scenarios I would've rather the Blazers go through, injury wise, than what they went through.

    I would've rather the Blazers suffer injuries at the START of the 77-78 season, instead of the end.

    I would rather Bill Walton not miss a whole season, and the championship team basically fall apart after 1 year.

    I would rather Sam Bowie not have repeated season ending injuries, and never amount to much (as a Blazer).

    I would rather Brandon Roy not have knees made out of paste, and have his career ended short.

    I would have loved to have Greg Oden miss just 6 or 8 weeks of a season, instead have his career end before it even started.


    Yeah, the injuries the Blazer players suffered were all injuries that were due to genetics, but if in the history of our franchise, we as fans were witness to just a few injury issues (like the Thunder), I'm sure we would be less jaded and cynical about it, and on top of that, the franchises record would be much stronger.

    It sucks when any player is hurt and I'd never wish it on a player or team/fans. But when you have a team that was stolen from another city, and they've been blessed with incredible luck, I have less sympathy.
