    This season has actually made me like Colin Cowherd. I used to think he was a joke, but he was 1 of the very few who wasn't falling for Russ mania.

    Love it. Dude nailed it.The amount of media rushing to the defense of Westbrook is unprecedented and unbelievable. It would make a little more sense if it was Curry because he was already a media darling, but I've never seen this level of coddling for any player.

    The morale of the story is don't get tattoos. The public/media hates a tattooed player. Because we are all bad people just because we choose to mark our bodies.

    Colin Cowherd has been destroying WB quite a bit this year...And he actually mentioned that he thinks the Rockets have a chance to "keep up with " GSW and may beat SAS...

    What really counts as a leader is empowering your other teammates that they matter just as much as you. So, when he leaves, noone else steps up and there are definite scorers on that team.... Oladipo, Gibson, Kanter... all can score... and they're not being used to their strengths because Westbrick is all about him. That's the shortcoming of this team. OKC is a Westbrook system. Not a team system.

    Before Colin would destroy Westbrook by comparing him to Harden, Now Colin doesn't seem to mention Harden anymore. He just likes bashing Westbrook now.

    I remember when he used to talk trash about TMac. He was so hard on him.

    What's more, media keeps defending Westbrick, but Westbrick hates the media.

    If he didn't have Westbrook to blast, he'd be doing the same to Harden.

    Lol everyone suddenly loves Harden.

    Broussard voted Westbrook but he would pick Harden to build his team...

    Also, Broussard "Westbrook > CP3 cause the first has been in the finals, the other not"...ok, well, that's correct but he was in the finals playing with Durant + Harden + Ibaka, not Griffin + DeAndre...there's a bit of a difference there...

    Colin is right though, Crawford stinks lol "22% shooting this series"...hell, he's probably shooting 30% in his career in the playoffs...
