Dumb *** okie's Houston will be happy to take this TX kid.

The prevailing logic is that Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant will be named the NBA’s most valuable player in a few days, and there’s little argument that Durant has been but otherworldly since entering the league as a Seattle SuperSonic in 2007 — a trend that is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

But apparently 32 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game this season from one of the league’s most durable players isn’t enough to sate The Oklahoman, which slammed Durant with the tag of “Mr. Unreliable” after Durant missed a crucial free throw.

In all fairness, most Thunder fans are pretty outraged over the headline - that the Sports Editor of the rag in question subsequently apologized (of sorts) for.

The author of the article that ran along side the headline seems to be somewhat of an *******, but then most sportswriters are. The article itself did have a lot of truth in it, which KD would probably be the first to admit.
 
Third Coast,

As usual you are correct. I just could not pass up a shot at boomer nation.
 
You're right about Westbrook LC. He's actually had a worse series than KD, but then expectations aren't quite as high with him and he has a history of being rather streaky.

Both are playing well so far tonight, but it would be nice to see a couple of those threes drop.
 
Big loss for Memphis, as Zach Randolph has been suspended for Game 7 for punching Thunder center Steven Adams in the jaw.

I know things happen in the heat of the moment, but before a game 7? How stupid is that? Pretty damn stupid. lol
 
If you think it was never worth a suspension, that's one thing. But if it's worth a 1-game suspension, it's worth a one-game suspension, and you shouldn't get "but I'm a star player and it's an elimination game" special treatment.
 
Very stupid choice. Heat of the moment is no excuse at this point of the season. Likely cost his team the series as he's their leading scorer. And for what? Even if you were winning it's stupid. You'd still miss Game 1 of an even bigger series in the next round and likely put your team down a game. Hope he enjoys the view while his team gets rejected largely due to his garbage.
