    Lol at postera saying "hate to see him go down". Just shut up and keep it real. We all know deep down that every H town fan is happy about it. Even though if most will not admit it.

    I wouldn't say we are happy he's injured, I would say most fans are happy that it helps to make it a little bit more of an even field. Anyone who says they are glad someone is hurt has never been injured and forced to sit out of a sport... cause it seriously sucks.

    Just because you don't have class doesn't mean none of us do.

    Really? I utterly despise Kobe Bryant and have for years.. but I hated to see him go down. You want to beat the other team's best.

    As big of a knucklehead Westbrook is it always sucks to see guys like him or Kobe go down. Even people who aren't fans of them respect them for being true competitors at heart.

    I guess our chances to advance look better than before. I'm just glad it happened now instead of during the reg season..he led my fantasy team to the ship. Other than that it sucks I really wanted to pull for them against the Heat, but it looks like Sa or the clips will get a chance at them.

    This series is going to get ugly. Didn't Beverley know they were calling timeout? Maybe they call timeout differently in Russia? What was the point of going for a steal - a timeout was called? Don't understand the play at all. Someone (on the Rockets) might get seriously hurt because of this foolish play.

    Going for the steal before the timeout happens all the time.

    I think they actually do call timeouts differently in Russia.

    Retribution happens all the time too. And "There will be blood".

    If Thunder focus on retribution and not lifting their game after the Westbrook injury, its exactly what the Rockets want, and they will show they are weak.

    In this case, Rockets will blow them out and be a serious threat to win the series.

    I think the Thunder can afford to lose 1 away game.

    Sure they can afford to lose one away.

    I'm just saying retribution (as in trying to injure rocket players) is weak and the wrong way to play if they want to win.

    I agree with you. Doesn't mean it won't happen though.
