    You guys have to remember one thing. The people who are butt hurt over this live in Oklahoma City, OK. Their lives SUUUUUUCK. They have to have something to lean on....something to fight about because they literally have nothing over anyone anywhere.

    I loved that they laughed at him. He should be laughed at. Any biased media saying it is unprofessional is only butthurt because their so called MVP is about to go on vacation. We should also laugh when that happens because of all the disrespect that the Rockets consistently receive from the biased fake news media with their alternative facts. :D

    Players laugh at dudes that get dunked on all the time, and no one screams for safe spaces on twitter when that happens.

    I have zero problem with them doing this. Even Clint.

    Nick Anderson wraps his arm around Roberson last night to affirm that he is now one of our biotches.

    That is pretty lame to laugh at somebody missing free throws

    I think it's alright to laugh once he bricked the 7th one.

    Westbrook's response to this is classy and truthful.

    Deck plays. Trez and B Brown not so much.

    Whatever, I'm glad he took it in stride I guess.

    This is a contact sport. Guys are out there getting in each other's faces, cursing each other out and throwing elbows. They've been doing this for 50 years. And we're worried that someone is laughing at someone? This is why I hate Twitter where random people can start an incident over their feelings. This wouldn't even be a conversation otherwise.

    I actually like Westbrook. he seems a class dude, even though he can be his own worse enemy in the 4th quarters.

    Still, think he was way off in the next question.

    <blockquote class="twitter-video" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Westbrook on the going-over-the-screen foul thing, and if he&#39;d like to see a rule change on it: <a href="https://t.co/PHQSUXPvAb">pic.twitter.com/PHQSUXPvAb</a></p>&mdash; Royce Young (@royceyoung) <a href="">April 24, 2017</a></blockquote>
    <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    Lol at harden being successful because he gets fouled. Russ shot more FTs per 100 possession than Harden this year, and has two years at over 14 FTA per 100 possesions... to Harden's 1 (this year).

    Can't believe this thread has that many pages. Guys, the laughing, while in poor taste, is not personal. After all, our own bunch are not good free throw shooters either.

    This is nothing but a psychological ploy to make Roberson miss. It is a distraction.

    Small sample size.
    He's a career 49% FT and 26% 3pt shooter. Both are pretty bad for a perimeter guy. But he's a starter on a good team for a reason.

    Westbrook is right. Harrell, Dekker and Brown. Two rookies and a towel waving vet.

    Honestly, I didn't dig the laughing. To be frank, there was nothing funny going on at the moment. This is a WAR of a game. White knuckler. It was tense. The laughing thing isn't the worst thing by any means though. Your mileage my vary. But I doubt you see it again.

    I'm fine with any kind of disrespect shown to that stolen franchise. I feel about the Thunder the same way I felt about the Clippers when Sterling was their owner. The more misery that franchise feels, the better.

    Besides, hearing that laughter from the bench probably made Roberson even tighter than he was before. One more thing to be rattling around in his brain while he's trying to focus on something he's terrible at.

    Dekker arguing with random fans on twitter, really makes me think he is Parsons v2
