Why I can't root for the OKC Thunder

[mr. dee]

I'm watching this Thunder-Lakers game, and the Thunder are just playing dumb
They are down, and they are just dribbling the ball up and jacking up jumpshots. Or driving the ball into the Laker bigs without passing the ball

Yes they are talented, but the style they play would fail against teams who can better defend their simple offense

I suggest you should finish games before you make comments

I suggest you look at that Laker turnover 
Not a Laker fan, but they screwed up that game which was obvious
Read my first post. I never said I hate the Thunder. I just hate how the team plays

So they play dumb in the crunch time? I never said you hate the Thunder either. What I'm saying is they can get it done. They became agressive in the 4th quarter and crashing the boards.

If you hate the way the Thunder play, you must DESPITE the Celtics! haha.

Because we play even dumber then the Thunder late in games.

They are an up and coming team, no doubt championship contenders
But for some reason I can't stand them

Number one is that I hate the way they utilize Durant. He's one of my favorite players, but the offense isn't run well at all. They make Durant basically like a Ray Allen, running off picks like he's a role player. And that annoying iso offense. People can complain about Paul Pierce's iso ball, but that's only for a few times during the game. Durant does it basically the whole game. He is one of the best players in the league, and you utilize him on isos and running off screens? Thats horrible

The other reason, is that they play too pretty. They don't have that gritty toughness and are basically a jumpshooting team. Like game 2 against the Lakers. When they were down, instead of driving the ball to draw fouls or feed the post, they just preceded to shoot jumpshots and contested 3's. Its also annoying that they have Durant and Westbrook just trading isolation plays like its streetball. Yes they are very talented enough to iso, but a great defensive team can always neutralize that

And lastly, its Westbrook. He's just a shooting guard masquerading as a point guard. Its his ego that thinks he's the best player on the floor. He tries to take over the game too much and just leaves Durant waiting on the wing. I honestly think Westbrook should play the 2 and Harden play the 1. Harden is the better playmaker


Does anyone else not like them? Or maybe its just me

i don't like anyone but the Celtics - and i can name you a specific reason from a past game or series as to why i have hate for all the other NBA teams - some i hate more than others.

the Celtics along with Tennessee Football are my lifetime teams - grew up with both of them in the 60's and i still live & die with them every season.
