Blake's three last night

Not ripping, just asking how can you not be a Thunder fan? Are you a fan of another NBA team?

I have always liked the Mavs. The Clippers are quickly becoming my favorite team though. Hard to not cheer for a team with two Sooners on it....
 
I like the Thunder because of the way the organization is ran. They value high character guys and its obvious they are TEAM in every since of the word. They value community, not just in OKC but across the state. They do a great job of using their money and influence to do good things. How you can you not respect that? I still love my Sooners but I love the Thunder too
 
I just wish Blake didn't pause at the top when he shoots FT's. There is no reason for him not to be a 75% shooter, he has a nice stroke. When he is in rythm like that 3 he looks like he can drain jumpers from anywhere on the court.
 
What were Blake's stats last night?

Does Willie Warren still get into any games?

And for Thunder fans, here's a Westbrook highlight collection:

Russell-Westbrook-Dunk-and-Mix-Tapes

WW played last week against the T-wolves and scored on a layup. But basically he doesn't get into the games very often. He is the 12th man and will now be inactive with Brian Cook coming back. (if he is really coming back)

I'll say this about WW...almost every time I've seen him get minutes, he looks solid. He is probably the most WILLING passer they have at the guard position. He's made some VERY nice passes in the little time he's gotten. I'd say they expect him to be a player for them next year.

I went to OU but I'm not from Oklahoma nor do I live there. I grew up with the Spurs, was a fan long before the titles. The closest NBA teams are all four hours away in different directions now (Hawks, Hornets, and Magic). My allegiance has and always will be with the Spurs.
 
Ohh, and to be clear I do not DISLIKE the Thunder. I dont root against them. In fact, when they play the Lakers, Heat or just about anybody besides the Clippers/Spurs I would be happy if they won. At the very least, I'd be happy for my friends who have become big Thunder fans. But I have to say it has become annoying at what a big % of these die-hard Thunder fans were OSU basketball fans before they got here. Especially since they changed to Thunder fans so quickly for two reasons.

1. So they wouldn't have to drive to Stillwater anymore to watch "their team" (although their version of this is that they just didn't like the way the Sean Sutton thing ended, so they were DONE with OSU bball at that point)

2. Because Desmond Mason played here.

I have nothing against Desmond Mason, but he did go to OSU and I have trouble rooting for/with OSU fans for OSU alums. Thats just me.

Its just easier for me to stick with rooting for the Sooners.
 

Sorry this got so off topic.

That 3 was frickin sweet. You know, Blake has looked pretty good on many of his NBA 3-pt attempts and even some of his at OU. He didn't shoot many at either place, but he has been fairly successful and the ones he hits looks really natural.

It would be amazing if he ever became a decent 3-pt shooter.
 
He's just an athlete...not a great basketball player...:facepalm
