Collison is nothing but a hatchet man - Durant a ball hog who takes 30 shots a game Westbrook some pyscho idiot and Ibaka some serb who plays with mens nuts then claps when BGriffin misses a freethrow like some silly ass third-grader. These clowns could care less about Thunder fans - the fans are the best part of the team. I would rather have an expansion team than a bunch of punks who act like spoiled brats every whistle and have not won a damn thing yet - even tho they seem entitled. I am a Big Griffin fan - hope the Clippers eliminate the Thunder if they get that far. The zone exposed OKC - Westbrook can't handle pressure - and they have no half court game . Thunder down

"I personally thought it was intentional and worthy of an ejection." Griffin was holding Ibakas jersey and Serge went to swipe his arm. The first time i watched it I could see that. I think its fitting when a chronic flopper, such as griffin, actually has a reason to go down anyway.

I am still amazed at how much criticism is directed at Westbrook. He is a phenomenal player and one of the best point guards -- yes, point guards in the game. He blew by Chris Paul (one of the best as well) as though he was standing still, and managed and played a terrific game. (He easily outplayed Paul yesterday, and Chris Paul is a very good player.) I love KD as well, but Westbrook was the difference in the Clippers game, and if you cannot fully appreciate all that Westbrook brings to game, that is too bad. Even Magic, who has, in the past, been very critical of Westbrook's game, was very complimentary on the national telecast yesterday.

The Thunder had a hard time penetrating the zone that most team’s learn to throw at the Thunder because they get confused by it. Its the job of the coach to let his team know how to overcome that defense and not say to KD, you have to be aggressive on that 4th quarter and its all yours to win the game. Ron is right to tell it as he sees it. The Thunder will not defeat the Heat, as Brooks have not made a dent on the 6 straight loses he and the team have received. Brooks does not know what to tell his boys what to do and becomes just like the fans, just whipping up for them to fight on. This isn’t coaching, but just being an outsider and not a member of the group. If that were the case anybody could the millions he receives just to be like him. He neglects the bigs plays and becomes a two man offense with the other 3 to take care of defense, that just doesn’t make them the sharpest tool on the shed!

Let’s not say this Thunder is ready for the finals, bacause it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Its not all honky dory as some are presuming to be and lets not kid ourselves. They need to be tougher on their defense, because the finals of last year, as LeBron, Bosh and Wade made good passes to open teammates, the Thunder were not able to cover all Heat players and they were double teaming LeBron and one Heat player was only waiting for the pass to shoot the 3-ball. There is nobody on the Thunder roster that is a LeBron, Kobe, Wade, Parker, Duncan, Chris Paul stopper. Another problem is the Thunder 2 all-stars are lacks on their defense, that when the going gets tough, they pass on that defensive assignment to somebody, like Thabo. Poor guy, he cannot cover all three players, because the two all-stars just want to shoot the hell of that ball in their hands, no matter what! That’s practically the Brooks playbook and all NBA caoches alreeady know by heart. Brooks also panics in the tight situations and just lets Durant or Westbrook carry the team, which he becomes useless. What’s with the Thunder hiring and firing thing, when I haven’t seen many of those faces being used at the games being played? Are they just for emergencies or for show of force? Are you proud to be able to dodge the bullet last night, but what about the next game, are you feeling lucky?

Reel, you are more of a 3rd grader who has nothing much to say but call names and that shows you your just a low class jerk.
