What's up with all the OKC love on this forum?? "I hope they win it all" "im rooting for the thunder" "durant this and that" etc... I dont get it? What do you guys like so much about them? Personally i hope they get knocked out of the playoffs and don't win a championship anytime soon. Id prefer the MAVS to be in the finals and i HATE dallas. I dunno, maybe i just envy their team and wish the rockets were like them or had their players, but i dont know why you people are suddenly riding OKC's nuts this year, its annoying.
You'd rather have DALLAS in the finals than a young, hard working team with one of the most likable superstars in the league? Troll thread.
They are young, they are classy, they play very hard, they are athletic and fun to watch, they run hard on breaks and finish, they play scrappy defence and hustles, they don't have major douchebags like Lebron. Now enlighten us why you want the Mavs in the finals. Do you want Jazz to win the championship next year?
Top 10 PG in Westbrook, Top 5 PLAYER in Durant, young/athletic shotblocking PF and legit size in the middle along with a legit bench. Yep...I'm jealous.
OKC is also the media darlings.. used to root for them.. now I'm tired of the constant love and over-analyzing of everything they do. Yes, Durant is a great teammate.. but him being happy that his teammate hit a game winner is no different than how any other player would react. And for that reason... Go Grizzlies Go.
durant going to UT might have something to do with it. I remember him from those day and still enjoy watching him play. They are my team after it was clear the rox were not making the playoffs.
I'm with you. I still like the team a lot and I wouldn't be upset at all if they beat out Memphis, but I've grown tired of all the endless love they get from the media these days. It's just annoying, so now I root more for Battier and his Grizzlies.
I like Memphis and OKC. The only reason I want OKC to win this series is because I think they have a better chance going forward against LAL/DAL/CHI/MIA.
I was going to answer you until I read this sentence. explain. I actually don't hate the Mavs like most here. I completely, royally hate the Spurs. So explain first and then I'll tell you why I rooting for both Dallas and OKC, but I don't really give a ***** about Dallas or Oklahoma. Nitwitz and Durant are never going to win it as best player. Who cares. Move on. I actually want Memphis to win and Miami to sweep everyone. btw: if Miami wins theie next game to go 3-0 on Boston...they will not lose another game. They will sweep every series. book it. If they go 3-0 against Boston,,,,they are going ballistic. They will ravage the league like we haven't seen in a long time.
OKC is coached by a championship Rocket. How can you not have a soft spot for them, despite the incessant and over-the-top media love?
Prediction: I have one, give me yours If Miami wins their next game to go up 3-0, Boston will give up. Miami will win in 4 then gain such momentum and power (remember Wade won 3 games in a row against Dallas) they will not lose another game. 9 games in a row. Boston Sweep X Sweep X Sweep And I don't even won't them to win. I want Atl, Bos and Chi to win in that order. Next is the winner of Mia or Bos. Notice I really don't like WC teams to win other than the Rockets.
Thunder play hard but I never considered them a scrappy team. I mean in the regular season they made more free throws than most of the teams in the NBA even attempted. They practically live at the free throw line, even when they shot nothing but jumpshots (according to everybody in the game thread) in game 1 against Memphis, they still had double the Grizzlie's free throws. Youth, superstars, a clean team, ripe for the media.
I know you're not talking. You're the same guy that said "we" last series when referring to the Spurs.
