Mumbles (Shaq) doesn't like them.

Skip Bayless, the worst sports analyst ever on the worst sports show of all time, First Take, doesn't like them. A guy who looks 90 years of age called Skip, please.

Sourpuss (Barkley) doesn't like them. He hasn't said anything clever since he lost the weight.

Suddenly all the big mouths don't like the Thunder.

They like San Antonio, those old goats. You think San Antonio can win a game in OKC?

And they all still like the hapless Lakers, day before yesterday's news.

And Miami will beat OKC in four or five, they all say in unison.

These make-believe experts are pounding OKC guard Westlake non-stop. When all he is doing is playing great.

Whereas we were the first to decry the lack of inside Thunder scoring, there's nothing like a group of self-proclaimed expert buffoons to change an opinion. The Thunder guards are scoring inside, that counts.

Westbrook looks great.

We're nearing the Thunder bandwagon as the national media losers are hopping off.

PS: the Thunder radio and TV crew must stop being such sappy homers. We know you love them. We like them. Knock off the cheesy officiating, OK?

Thunder won't win it all without solid inside scoring. Westbrook won't carry them inside day in day out, especially in the playoff. Thunder is a good team, playing within themselves. Once they have to try and play outside their abilities (inside scoring from a big man for instance)they are in trouble. You like them? But not love them yet? When you get around to loving them I will call up my bookie.

So who beats them in the West? Can't have the "field."

They will win the west. Bulls will win it all.

Hey picker, tell how how you feel about Shaq and Barkley. Do you think Shaq mumbles or that Barkley was funnier before he lost weight?

Seriously, give it a rest, you can't go more than about 2 blogs without mentioning it...
