THE PICKER
Here's what all the experts are saying about the Thunder, past and future:
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah.
Blah.
Blah, ...
Who gave Perkins all that money and said he was the real deal?
Who drafted the KU center who couldn't play?
Who ...
OU football coach Bob Stoops had this scoop during his Tulsa campaign stop: The bottom of the SEC stinks.
What campaign ...
Since day one of the Thunder regime, around nutty assertions from OKC media homers that the OKC team is better than sliced pizza, we have told you the following:
Perkins is a load. This guy can't score much -- he's averaging 4 and change -- and barely resembles what he was in Boston.
Westbrook is a wild man. Late in many key games, he is a turnover machine and a brick mason, playing out of control and forcing shots. Westbrook plays mad. He's mad when he makes a great shot. He's mad when he misses. Isn't the game supposed to be fun at times? True, the national media has been rough on him. So show them by playing smart, not mad.
Westbrook is shooting 40 percent from the field this season. That isn't bad. That's horrible. That's YMCA lunch league bad.
In related news, the Thunder GM is vastly overrated. Drafting the KU center is thought to be one of the top 20 worst picks of all time. And letting Harden go was as bad as drafting him was good.
The Thunder is good. Not great. It will be all out to win the West. The Lakers are tons better with the little old guy back in the line up at guard. Memphis is mean as snakes. San Antonio has skills. Harden looks like an all star at Houston.
Westbrook needs to stop shooting 40 percent and start playing under control.
Durant is spectacular.
There's nothing wrong with being very good, not great. Except when the cheerleaders preach otherwise.
