BREAKING: Russell Westbrook has a torn meniscus in his right knee

Kid is a dumbass. Death threats aren't taken idly.

 

Actually, he already played through it last night and was not showing any signs of anything being wrong.

 

i wanted our team to beat the OKC with WB
im pretty sure we can beat em we have a good team and good coaching staff

 

this is bull****, did Bev intentionally hurt WB, definitely NO, is it necessary? maybe not, but he did not put a foot under a player or slash under a flying player, it's a freaking incident, unfortunately WB got hurt. I'd say in this situation, most of time, nobody is going to get hurt.

 

As someone who has lived through way too many Rockets injuries, I could care less about how this affects OKC's title chances. All I know is that the Rockets chance of winning went up from 0% to >0%. And that's positive.

 

I think predicating that russel tore his meniscus with 'BREAKING' is really funny.

 

hahaha i just replied to that punk

 

Thunder fans need to get over it. They have KD. This playoff basketball, ish happens. If you aren't hustling on every play you aren't trying to win. Hopefully we get these two games and make it a series. Lets go Rockets!

 

We really don't kneed that kind of humor here.

 

Cool, I'm not talking about you, just in general.

Hey, you're judging that guy from a Rockets fan's perspective, that's totally understandable, but at the same time, it's totally understandable that he's not really a Rockets fan, doesn't make him a bad person.

 

I'm not putting Lin at the same level as those guys. Fans like who they want to like; the number of fans doesn't have to correlate with the player's ability.

Hey, you love your team, they love their player. That's what I'm talking about, you guys Rockets homers, they are Lin homers. Most of them come here because they also support the Rockets. It's better to appreciate that.

 

Even more importantly, my point was that a lot of people who were Bird, MJ, Thomas, etc only fans and became long term Celtics, Bulls and Pistons fans. That's usually how fans become attached to a team besides being locals, right?

 

This would have added to all the Lakers playoff conspiracies had they been playing the Thunder.

 

The sad thing about this is now the Rockets will get no credit no matter how well they do in the next few games. Everything will be qualified with the statement "well the Thunder are missing a key player in Westbrook"

 

I agree. This really isn't something to take lightly..

 

Me 2. Kids these days think they can say anything thy want. Think before you speak!

 

meh... you beat me to it.

Can we report these threats to the local authorities? If enough people report these idiots, can they be charged with something?

 

I retweeted it and tagged the Rockets, NBA, and Thunder's official twitters. Hopefully they address this. It may have been just a kid saying stupid things but nowadays you can never be too sure who is serious and who isn't.

 

I'm surprised there haven't been any repercussions from it yet, joke or not, as sensitive as everyone has to be about that stuff now.
