Awesome Job Bench!

I kept hearing about how deep the Mav’s bench was, and nobody thought much of ours.

That shows you just how little time the talking heads have to put together their stories. We, on the other hand, have the luxury of watching the Thunder play every game. So while the Mav’s may be surprised, we aren’t.

And Russell? Would we be here without him? Would we have won game 7 over Memphis without his amazing triple double? No……..

I am tired of everyone dissing Westbrook. Mainly because I don’t want the fans, and god forbid, Westbrook, to feel like he is not a beloved player. We would not be this strong of a team without Russell, no question. Not even close. But we have a lot of other weapons if a defense devotes its time to shutting down RW. And that is what they do. RW isn’t an All Star for nothing. He is the second, and sometimes first, strongest leg of a many legged team, if that makes any sense to everyone. We play as a team. And everyone can look back at the results of this year’s playoffs to see the ones who didn’t play utterly as a team. They are all watching TV.

And stop thinking about the future, for that matter. The future is right now. Every second. Sure, we are young and have a great future, but what happens if someone blows a knee?

Hail Westbrook. He is getting hammered by the media types who haven’t watched him play every game every year and seen what he has become. Really. Our opponents design whole defenses around stopping him or putting him into uncomfortable situations. KD is almost impossible to defend. So they go after RW. Which is fine by me.

I can see it as easily as other Thunder fans. We are a damn good team, and RW is a holy terror for defenses.

Go over to the Lakers blog. Bunch of wankers spending most of their time discussing which playstation game they are playing.

They totally freak out after every game. “Kobe is finished” (last year). Trade Pau!! (this year). They knee jerk after every game, including the regular season. Try trading stocks with that attitude. You have to be very patient.

My real fear is that RW will listen to the post game drama. Getting bogged down in dark emotions can kill a team. And that has always been our strength. We do this together.
