    He came back too soon. If I'm not mistaken he was originally scheduled to come back close to Christmas, instead OKC cleared him to play a few games into the season. Rushing players back has been having bad consequences to a lot of these athletes..

    Reggie Jackson is more than capable as a back up. Don't sleep on the Thunder.

    Oh please. Okc fan, you're dumb. You talk **** about Beverly now, and how Russ west is so damn great. But as soon as he hits free agency, and joins the Lakers, they'll be talking about how they hope his knees explode.

    Don't be mad at Beverly, be mad at Sam Presti. You gave up James Harden for some scrap heap.

    Sad year for NBA with all these bad injuries. Hope the Rockets won't have more injuries this year.

    That really sucks. We shouldn't wish any player injured.

    How many times do we play them Thunders during those 7 weeks? Can't wait. :D

    The way Westbrook plays is career-ending injury waiting to happen. Beverly or not. Bev just happens to be that push.

    If only the Thunder had a guard who could really step up and run the offense.

    This isn't spurstalk lol.


    This kind of sucks but it makes me angry that Presti is still b****ing about Beverly being the one that ruined Westchuck's career. It was a play on the ball ffs.

    Without WB at 100%, the West is wide open. Spurs would seem to benefit most but I'm not confident about them coming out of the West even with OKC out of the way.

    WB was playing superbly and had taken his game to another level recently.

    IMO, it was a lock OKC and Spurs would finish as the top 2 seeds. Now the race for #2 is on.

    If WB returns and gains his form before the playoffs, OKC will be the team to beat in the West. With WB, they are the only team I can't see the Rockets beating in a series. Now, there is no team left the Rockets can't beat, especially if Morey gets something legit for Asik.
