I was wondering what Dekker was laughing at...dude is a pretty darn bad at free throws himself for a small forward.
Hold' up. No one has mentioned the fact that all of the guys on our "bench" are among the youngest on the team sans Bobby Brown. You guys have got to be kidding me. The Thunder's weak bench features losers like Collison, Cole, and Kyle Singler among others. At least we have a future on our bench that gets no PT... what's up with y'alls russ.... hmmmm
Imagine how MAD everyone on here would be if the other team was laughing at one of our players missing free throws, lol.
people laughed and trash talked all the time when we had DH and Josh Smith. So what. If you suck at it, you're going to hear about it from opposing players Half the people trying to criticize, didn't even notice it in real time and only heard about it bc it got on social media.
I definitely didn't notice it, I only found out about it because of that tweet. I was too busy being absolutely astonished at how Roberson can be that pathetic from the line. It really is embarrassing to be that bad. His free throws aren't even close, and he even air balls them at times. I can't believe a perimeter player in the NBA can be that atrocious. Even Rondo wouldn't air ball.
McDaniels' five fouls in nine seconds http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/mcdaniels-five-fouls-in-nine-seconds.271977/ That is actually a real strategy that the Rox used trying to win a game. You may want to check the reaction comparing to this. Especially when people openly called it "Disrespectful". That's exactly the point, yeah if we win, that's awesome, and if we lose, it will suddenly become disrespectful.
Yeah yeah yeah. We did it to DeAndre Jordan last year and they did it to Dwight too. Who tf cares! Let it go, its done already. Just like this f***in series.
OKC and Westrbrook said they didn't know until they saw it on social media. So we already had the 3-1 lead. If they are going to be mad about it, or get motivated, it's bulletin board material tonight. After they were already defeated morally and physically.
Like I said watch the post game interview of Roberson. Listen to locked on rockets podcast featuring Fred Katz [beat writer for the thunder and host on locked on thunder] about how demoralized Roberson was after the game. And we did laugh after the game, so we didn't laugh after it was 3-1. It may becoming extra motivation for them. But I know Roberson was absolutely crushed after the game because I watched the interview and listened to Fred Katz talk about how sad it was to even ask about the free throw situation with Roberson. But hey, keep on fighting the good fight and grasping for straws.
i seriously don't get the motivation angle here. i mean there's so much other stuff that they should be concerned with . being down 3-1, making adjustments but giving up the leads, playing well without westbrook to name a few but apparently they need to get "motivation" bc of roberson haha ok. Watch out houston
So they were defeated morally and physically but will now be galvanized because a few bench players laughed at Roberson's pathetic display from the free throw line? Being down 3-1 with their season on the brink of being over isn't motivating enough? Laughing at Roberson is what will push them over the edge? C'mon man.
At least Kansas has Kansas City...which isn't a terrible place. In fact, it's a much much nicer place to live than OKC.
You're prolly right. I have not been there, I have 3 nieces & 1 cousin that live in OKC & they always shittalk Kansas. The only thing I really liked in OKC was their Zoo, it's nice. Some pretty good BBQ also.
The fear that people are laughing at you, even if they are laughing at something else, is possibly the greatest fear on the planet. So I actually agree the strategy could work to demoralize them. But it could also motivate a team to come together and rally around something. So there's where I think we run some risk. I'm in risk management so I would mitigate the risk and maintain the statis quo given they have not found enough motivation yet.
