Pity OKC fans, they have no choice but to cheer for Derek Fisher. The undeserved extent piling on Bev is just redirected hate towards Fisher.
I don't think it's right that those fans are saying those things to Patrick Beverly but I don't think bad of the Thunder fan base. To be honest most fan bases, if not all, would have a group of fans reacting in a similar fashion. All fan bases have a bad group of fans. Overall I still like and respect the Thunder as well as their fan base. Nonetheless those specific fans should be ashamed for saying those things.
I can't understand all the hate! Every time it becomes ovious that the player with the ball's going to call a "time out", the closest defender will try to steal the ball. All teams do it! Patrick was going for the ball & brushed WB's knee at an angle that caused a freak injury. Nothing malicious about it.
What's funny is that they get all excited about an nba player replying to them. OMG, he replied. My mentions! Oh I'm so cool!
Big deal. I've seen worse comments right here at Clutchfans about our own players and coaches after a rockets loss.
True. I would probably never stop hating someone who caused me to watch more Derek Fisher playing for my team, even indirectly. PatBev owns though.

I don't blame people for being upset. If someone hurt Harden in the same way at the end of the season and we ended up missing the playoffs I'd be just as upset. Of course sending rude messages to Bev is immature but hey at least it's all they're doing. Bev's going to be getting tweets for awhile, so might as well ignore them.
Can't blame them for keeping Ibaka over Harden too much, but man, must Presti be wishing that he had Harden to turn to when Westbrook went out.
