Tons of Blazer love on Sportscenter tonight

[PtldPlatypus]

Any of you guys ever interact with Mr. Westbrook? He's probably a cool guy.

I never have, but I know a guy who has.

Well of course George Karl loves us. George never cared much for defense.

The sonic team he coached was an amazing defensive ball club.


Go Blazers!

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

All I know is that I can say unequivocally he has never tried to rape me.

Are you saying it was consensual?

Gramps...

 

[Nikolokolus]

All you need to do is watch Westbook run his mouth on the court and the way he "celebrates", and gloats, when he thinks he's hit a game winner. Then watch Dame. It's Day and Night. Westbrook is an ego maniac.

If Westbrook were a Blazer (and if OKC hadn't surprised everyone and taken him 4th overall, he might have been) I wonder, would people call him an ego maniac or a "fiery competitor?"

That's not to say that he isn't a bit selfish and kind of a misfit as a point-guard, but where people stand on an something usually has a lot to do with where they're sitting.

To be honest, I think Westbrook is a beast and deserves to be a bit cocky. OKC would never be where they are today without him on that team. I can't stand the guy, but I think I would agree with you if he was on this team. I would probably say he has the desire and drive to be a winner.

 

[Nikolokolus]

To be clear, I wouldn't want him to be our point-guard and I don't think OKC will ever win with him trying to be the alpha dog over Durant, but if he had been allowed to play off-the-ball next to a guy like Harden for the next five years I think it would have seriously altered the arc of his career for the better.

As soon as he started fighting with LA, that would be it for me. Just an example, but when Damon publicly complained about playing time before the first game of the WCF against the Spurs, that was it for me. I was done with him. I couldn't believe he was so selfish that he would complain about playing time before the WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS. Watching video clips of Westbrook fight with Durant during a game tells me that he's a douche.

All I know is OKC looked like a completely different team with Westbrook in the playoffs. Is the guy a Factory Reject Dildo on the court? sure. But so are a lot of really good players who I would love to have on the Blazers.

that said... Frak that guy

that said... Frak that guy

The fact that he doesn't understand that he's not the best player on the team.... I wouldn't want him.

What about your interaction with him at the Subway? He sounded like he was being a dick because he saw your Trailblazer tat.

I have interacted with him and he was a douche. I was in the elevator with him and he's just as dicky as he appears on the court.

I never have, but I know a guy who has.

Well, in that case, I don't appreciate HCP's ruse!
