Schroder is quickly pulling away from Felton as my least favorite player on the team.

did you miss russ complaining and the refs laughing at him and pointing to the sideline / video area? he shoved dunn first then backed away.

it's like when you have an older brother who pushes you without your parents seeing and you get in trouble for pushing back. dunn was 100% correct there. and the refs agreed with their decision. double tech.

Yeah that’s not what happened. You’re completely wrong. Any contact from Russ was before the whistle. That’s completely different unless your suggesting any physical contact in the course of the game merits a technical.

Do you think Schröder will get suspended (or what is the stance of the league on bench players getting involved in altercations) ?

Yeah TB already said it, but you're dead wrong. So there's kinda that.

I know by posting what I'm getting ready to post that I'm knowingly engulfing the bait and latching down on the hook, but have you ever said anything even remotely complimentary of Westbrook?

I don't think I've ever encountered a sports fan who was so hateful and spiteful towards their team's best player. And yes, before you "correct" me I'm fully aware and in agreement with the fact that PG has been our best player this year. Russ, despite all of his flaws, is a superstar, future 1st ballot HOFer who has remained intensely loyal to this franchise, which does and should make him extremely endearing to fans of a small-market team like the Thunder.

Yet, I'm wondering if you've ever respected and appreciated anything he's done.

Patterson is once again scoring for the other team.

Anybody else see the two offensive rebounds we got because after PG shot threes 4 bulls just turned and started jogging to the other the of the court?

I guess russ left the game early to scout out privileged white kids to gift his shoes to.

I didn’t. Did George even make a fg in the second half?

In game promo showed him with some black kids, this narrative took a hit.

The most egregious one Russ got the rebound, I really want to find a gif of it just because it's been three years since anyone had expected an OKC 3 to go in.

Jim boylan having the full court press on with a minute to go is the definition of fake hustle.

Russ was exemplary off the ball defensively tonight. He cut off a bunch of driving lanes and was switching into open men before they even got the pass.
