Comments from the Other Side - OKC/Rockets 12/29

There is a lot of hate for Cole Aldrich in Houston. I think I could have filled a couple pages with just the anti-Cole comments.  And they don't like Toney Douglas much better.   And like every team they talk about Russ shooting the Thunder out of the game but he always comes through in the end. Enjoy today's comments. What's your favorite?

It amazes me that OKC is 1st in offense despite having Russell Westbrook at PG To me, this is just a testament to how efficient every other player on that team is.

Not expecting much out of this game tbh. We looked pretty gassed last game and the Thunder are pretty damn good.

I'm not even thinking "win," I just want James Harden to have a good, confidence boosting performance against his old team so he can get that monkey off his back.

Come out with a couple of screens from parsons and harden to get lin to the basket. After that, westbrook will be severely offended and make it personal to the point where he takes 50 shots! We win this one in a blowout.

Memo to rockets: martin loves the three, martin makes the three.

Yo Hasheem you got some stuff in your hair.

I really wish we could get this one for Harden. But considering how tired our guys are and how good OKC is, a game of not blown-out is a good one in my book.

Comments from the Other Side - OKC/Mavs 12/27

This was fun to follow on the Mavs boards as they started out with no hope.   Then they started to think they might win.   And then they got hope once again when Collison hit that miracle shot.  Then they gave up again.  Interesting that they are blaming everything on their prize free agent signing.  Mayo can't be that bad, can he?  Anyway.  I hope you enjoy these comments.  What are your favorites? 

Dirk should just sit this one out and play more minutes against Denver. The Mavs (IMO) don't have a chance against OKC but against Denver there is a chance.

Huge embarrassing loss!

The Mavs will finish in second place tonight..

Is there any minutes limit for Dirk?

The Thunder hope so.

Mavs win tonight

Loss by less than 20 points = victory

Man, something really pisses me off about Westbrook's smirk.

Comments from the Other Side - OKC/Heat 12/25

I really have to laugh at Heat fans complaining about the refs.  They get away with so much it's not even funny.  LeBron went 6 games without having even one foul called against him.  How can a player who bulls his way to the basket and pushes players out of the way for rebounds possibly go 6 games without a foul?  They have a lot of nerve complaining about any officiating.  And even their fans recognize that LeBron flops but I'll wager that he never gets a warning for his flopping.  It makes me hate the Heat even more.  I love how they are complaining about Ray's defense.  I could have told them that right from the start.  In spite of the loss, I hope you can enjoy the comments...

How do you guard Kevin Durant, lucky Westbrook is not a passive PG, couldn't imagine Durant getting 20+ FGA, dropping 30 on the regular

If defence holds up should be an easy win

No game against OKC and all of that fire power will ever be an "easy" win no matter what defense you have. Unless Mike Miller goes 7-8 again from downtown its going to be a close game.

Gotta keep the defense up...maybe even need to play better defensively. That's how good OKC is. Can't let up even for a second, because they'll make you pay for your lapses.

Perk Up Your Christmas


Another great commercial starring Perk.  He's a great salesman.   I now have to buy 1% milk and if I even think of buying anything else I have this feeling of Perk staring me down. It's a good thing these necklaces are out of my price range or I'd be guilted by Perk to get one of these too.

Don't Dunk on Perkins



I found this and thought I'd share it here where I share all things Perk. Not only dunking on Perk makes him mad, it infuriates me, especially when people talk like it's a bad thing. I see so many bigs backing away when they see someone coming at them to dunk. Perk never backs away. He stands there and tries to affect the outcome. Will he sometimes be posterized? Yes. But he does his job and he does it very well. He may get dunked on from time to time, but he will never back down!!

Here are the words to the song above.

THUNDER UP.

Perk With the League's Best Follow Through

Perk hits his second jumper in the game against the Spurs and then strikes a pose on the follow through. Have I mentioned today that I love this guy?

Comments from the Other Side - OKC/Wolves 2/20

I wasn't going to do a CFTOS today because it was a loss, but there were a lot of fun comments in spite of the outcome so I decided to do one anyway.  There were the usual complaints about the refs, but a few of the fans were more realistic and saw that they got some calls going their way and it wasn't all one sided.  That was refreshing.   There was some discussion on the alternate uniforms as well.  I've highlighted my favorites in bold.  What are yours?

Haven't watched a Wolves game on TNT ever. Which isn't surprising considering how few we've had over the past 5 years (if we actually had one). I'm stoked. Not so much about the actual game, considering that I expect a loss.

I believe '06 was our last one

Just a loss? I think they're going to kick our asses.

-They have a big mean center who can slow down Pekovic, Perkins.-Love is already struggling, and now he has to go against Ibaka? Oh and Ibaka seems to have developed some mid range game? -Ridnour guarding Westbrook. It could get.. Very ugly..

Dangit Kmart is out, I wanted them to be full strength

We better win now. Only Westbrook and Durant to key in on. Don't think Ibaka has another strong game in him. But even then, it could be a big problem

If we win tonight, I believe the apocalypse will happen tomorrow.
