    Jones fracture in right foot.
    Hate to see this happen to any player. Wishing him the best.

    Most definitely is going to shake things up a little bit but the Thunder are still a very good team and they will still be a factor this year. This is the same injury CJ had so we all know he can get back to top form sometime in January.

    Seems pretty on-topic to me. Definitely has a chance to impact our playoff position.

    Shouldn't be a problem, Westbrook already thinks he's the best player on the team. Now is his chance to prove it to everyone.

    When the reigning MVP goes down with injury I think he deserves his own thread. Especially when he's in our division.

    I'm hoping that you meant to have this in green font.

    Re: Kevin Durant down for 6-8 weeks.

    Ok I will be conscious of that in the future. Actually I did think that right after I posted it. Sorry i'll work on that.
    This does seem to have some impact but you are right. Maybe changing the title to something like Injuries around the NBA would be better?

    Re: Kevin Durant down for 6-8 weeks.

    This is what I want to see. Westbrook's ego is certainly big enough lets see if he can really carry a team.

    Westbrook is a great player but he can't carry the load the way KD did when Westbrook was down. No chance No way!

    I just don't see it happening. Westbrook is a PG. He will have monster games but in the end it will not equate to wins.

    Re: Kevin Durant down for 6-8 weeks.

    That's exactly what I expect to happen. He will have huge scoring games but the Thunder will be a .500 team with KD out.

    Re: Kevin Durant down for 6-8 weeks.

    In Westbrook's mind KD has been holding him back.

    Re: Kevin Durant down for 6-8 weeks.

    I think Westbrook has already written his HOF acceptance speech.

    Re: Kevin Durant down for 6-8 weeks.

    Sure it does. And it should start with "OT:". I think that's what Riverman is saying, and he's right. He's not being snarky just trying to help some of the new posters with the local protocol.
