OTish: Well, I'm not worried about the Thunder anymore

[The Professional Fan]

Did you guys see/hear the pre-game locker room speech from Scotty Brooks? Wow.

He tells his team: "The most important part of playoff basketball is to win the game"

Holy shit. I had to rewind it to believe it. This guy is an amazing coach. Fire Nate. Nate could never be such a genius.

 

[The Professional Fan]

BTW - Go Thunder. Fuck the L*kers.

Thunder learned from the Blazers. Don't get off to a good start on the road.

The Thunder are horrible.

Damit, I did not know it was that easy. BTW I have a direct quote from his regular season pre-game speech, "The most important thing about the regular season is to win 61% of the time and get the 8th seed in the West when you have 10 lottery picks on your roster!" That is why he is COY!

 

[Nikolokolus]

The Thunder are horrible.

Correction. Westbrook is horrible ... tonight.

Brooks is a Herm Edwards Disciple. He knows, and teaches that "You play to win the game".
