    Yea... I know that... thanks.

    I don't know if you were around but between '98 - 2014 we only won 1 first round playoff series.. I'm glad we've been doing so more lately...

    People on here can be so defensive its unreal.

    This. As westbrook started hitting the 3s at the end of 3rd...i knew what to expect in the 4th. increased confidence and an excuse to go on a shooting rampage in the 4th. Thanks Russell.

    Exactly. He instructs his teammates to box out so he can get rebounds, takes way too many shots, and is well aware of his stats in the middle of an elimination game, yet he doesn't care about stats. LOL.

    I used motion and "colorize" lets you pick the dark side of what you're coloring and the light side. So if you pick the darkest part of brick with the eye drop thing and the lightest, it kind of matches it pretty well. No guarantees of course, but that's somethings I've been trying lately. But you know how it is, it's almost impossible to make it seamless. I like to feather to get rid of the seams but it's never exact enough.

    Either way, props to your chopping. Love it!

    Exactly. When it isn't falling be in attack mode.

    They wanted a storybook-ending for their MVP. Too bad he's gone fishin'.

    Royce Young saying that Russ was drinking sodas and the Thunder weren't worried about the loss. Imagine if Harden and the Rockets did this.

    Here's what I don't understand...Westbrick played 41 mins., Jimmy 37 mins.....are those 4 more minutes really all that more backbreaking for Westbrick ?

    That was a terrible, terrible game. We deserved to lose, but the Thunder managed to outsuck us.

    I can't believe how biased ESPN is. I know this has been touched on many times, but it just baffles me. They're still just making a case for Westbrook's MVP campaign when they should be talking about Bev. Westbrook was going off in the third, Bev realized this and realized he had to start hounding him and take him off of his game. He got a steal (a couple steals if I remember correctly) and got in Westbrook's face. From then on, Westbrook was not the same. Pat Bev straight up stole the momentum from OKC. That's what should be talked about in sports, not this bull**** about Westbrook's plus/minus stats. Garbage from ESPN. It's enfuriating and I would think a cool guy like SVP would realize what's truly important in sports. Oh and Tim Legler can eat ***hole.
