Series Thread: 4) Oklahoma City Thunder vs 5) Utah Jazz

[Scapegoat]

At least the Lakers have glory days.

But hey, the Thunder did lose in the finals that one year. So they'll always have that.

Not bad for an organization that's only been around for 10 years.

lol Keep telling yourself that. You guys backed the wrong horse. You should have moved Russ instead of letting KD walk.

Nope. cupcake wanted to leave. Westbrook wanted to stay. If we go back to the lottery then Presti just gets to do what he does best. And we get to watch him draft more all stars. Life's good in OKC.

Some of you Thunder fans crack me up. KD left because of Westbrook. Oladipo and Sabonis thrived this year when they got out from under Westbrooks thumb. Now, everyone is expecting PG to leave because of Westbrook.

But some of you keep telling yourselves that Westbrook isn't the problem.

You added an elite level 2 way player and an old star player who can still shoot and you improved by 1 game and got the same 1st round exit you got last year.

Westbrook shot 80+ times over your last 2 playoff games. Your team is 3-8 in the playoffs since KD left.

You know why Westbrook won't ever change and why you will continue to get these same results for as long as he's in OKC?

Because your FO and fans put the blame everywhere but where it actually belongs.

You must have responded to the wrong thread. I never said anything about the things you're talking about.
Go back to Lavar.

I responded to exactly what you posted. Quoted you and everything. You said "cupcake wanted to leave" I pointed out that he left because of Westbrook and pointed out what else has happened as a result of "Russ being Russ".

If you guys had moved Westbrook, you'd have gotten some great assets and still have a superstar that other FA's want to play with.

Instead, you have Westbrook.

cupcake did want to leave. He wanted to do somewhere he wouldn't have any pressure. And Olidipo said the reason he got better was because of Westbrook.
Your tangent on Westbrook is the part that had nothing to do with what I had said. The only thing I said about our FO is about Presti's ability to draft.
How does any of that have anything to do with the Lakers returning to the playoffs?

He's got a point.

My teams claim to fame is Patrick Beverley's Mom running the table on the Price is right wearing a Clippers shirt.

Seriously, she is the most accomplished person EVER while wearing the Paper Clips logo.

While OKC does own the rights to the old history. No I wasn't using that information.

And that relates to the future how?

That face you make when the person sitting next to you farts.

i'm not worried about our future. Short Buss no longer is calling the shots out here, or didn't you get that memo...?

but don't worry. we can certainly re-visit this a year from now...
