    Haha! I usually hit mute right after HT, and shut off after the final buzzer lol!
    But I gotta say seeing Chuck stumble to make up an excuse was hilarious!

    charles Barkley is my all time favorite player, hence my handle. Let’s not get it twisted. Charles is maybe the greates 6’5” rebounder of all time, but when he talks about defense, just do the opposite and you will be ok baby.

    Yup.

    I didnt understand the Harden b**** fest during the game.

    Other than a few stupid turnovers, he played a pretty controlled game and let RB carry the offense because he was on a role.

    If he had been taking shots away from RB, he would have been called a ball hog.

    Damn if you do, damn if you dont.

    He even rectified his earlier defensive mistakes on Green and locked him up in the final minutes.

    Westbrook's best game for us. He was a beast.... and he even hit quite a few jumpers.

    Covington was great out there tonight. When he gels with the team and gets chemistry, he'll be an asset.

    If we can get a big who can play some defense and can hit a 3pt shot, we could trouble a lot of teams.

    He is only great cuz OKC isnt contending, they just wanna make the playoffs. Cp3 was only great his first year when he only made 28M a year. Last year he wasnt great cuz 17 pts for 40M is not a bargain that is below par you want more from your 40M dude.

    Russ is great because he is worth 40M, on nights like tonight where Harden isnt feeling it you can count on Russ to be the workhorse cuz he is capable of 40 a night. Did we have a time last year Harden only had 12 pts and we still won by 10?

    If we had Cp3 and he had 20 7 5 instead of Russ' 41 that's not enough to gut a win we would still be short 21 pts which would have to come up from somebody else. If they dont have it you will get moments like those 0-27 or w/e in the playoffs where nobody could score cuz all maxxed out but we still need somebody to put up points.

    Nobody expected Westbrook to complete do a 180% on his shot selection as a Rocket. If he had done this in Oklahoma City when he played with Durant or both Durant and Harden, they would have won multiple championships, and he never comes here.

    Yep, if even that, they hid those guys when they could. Their death line up was small ball, spread them out and players like Green and Iggy made it work.

    That's why Roco is so big and if Bruno can do something with his talent he's going to be a perfect player for this style.

    Westbrook was also never the clear #2 for his best friend. This isn't unexpected.

    Of course retired big men like barkley, shaq, webber, etc want to see this fail.

    This would completley eliminate the big man and post play for the next 10 years.

    They absolutely would hate to see that.
