OKC fans are a bunch of dorks.

So. Freaking. True.

They just don't know how to act yet...rather have the dorks than the OB creeps at nfl games. give em a few years and they'll learn how to "act like they've been there"

Someone in Oklahoma re-did a LMFAO song with Thunder-NBA Finals themed lyrics.  The quality is terrible.  It sounds like some semi-skilled karaoke singer made the lyrics up on the spot and someone recorded it with their iphone.  They are playing it nonstop on Tulsa radio.  OKC fans are a bunch of dorks.

Oh man the * just got upped 5 font sizes.

Westbrook shot 32 times.   

[chum1]

i hope it's a serious injury.  for the sake of the 2012 finals.

[OK_Cat]

i hate this because people on my facebook are Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).  too many "the refs won this one" type of stuff.

damnit i hate chalmers.

[OK_Cat]

oh man, my favorite part of the finals are the postgame interviews where the random international journos ask question in broken english and don't really ask anything at all.  like this last guy "mario, it must feel good to win.  where is your smile?"

Lebron has his wheelchair moment!

Minus the wheelchair. And everything else.

IT'S DIFFERENT WHEN MY FAVE PLAYER EVERZ DOES IT! 

[OK_Cat]

is there any doubt that lebron was faking, though?  i mean, he was.

[chum1]

my favorite part was when lebron couldn't continue walking and doubled over at the exact moment he happened to be crossing dead center court.  that will be remembered as the moment he transformed from the villain into the hero!

[Fuktard]

I'm not saying he was faking, but he sure as hell was milking the crap out of it.  Running around just fine on offense, hits a three and can barely walk to mid court.  Airballs a three and needs help getting off the court.  GMAFB.  I wonder what Bird, Jordan, Seau, Romanowski, Payton, Lott, Barkely would do when they got a cramp?   Act like a rough ridin' pussy??  Take themselves out of the last minute of the most critcal game of their career?  Probably not.

TAH-DAH! The new talking point for when LeBron has a championship.

I think that talking point is too weak to be effective. We just need to  for a thunderstorm over the next few games.

[bakerman]

Either way, I don't care. I like OKC and I like Wade/Lebron. I just didn't like "The Decision".

[kitten_mittons]

People who don't like Lebron because of "The Decision" might be the most idiotic Lebron haters out there.

[WillieWatanabe]

never really liked LBJ to begin with. The Decision cemented that.

[felix rex]

I don't know why anyone cares about the decision.

Lebron: Hey, guys. I'm gonna do a thing on TV. You can watch or whatever. And here's a bajillion dollars for kids and stuff.
Lebron Haters: OH MAN WHAT AN bad person HE SAID HE WAS TALENTED AND WANTS TO WIN A TITLE AND HE DANCED WITH THOSE OTHER TWO GUYS AND FIREWORKS WERE THERE!

[Rage Against the McKee]

I like Lebron, but I love listening to his haters hate. The meltdown when he finally wins a championship will be fantastic, but unfortunately, I think it will put an end to the haters.

*Also, I tend to like superstars who play for one team more than players who demand trades/enter free agency despite perfectly good offers from where they are. I liked Lebron more when he was a Cavalier, and "The Decision" really didn't bother me at all.

Did he really have that good of an offer from the Cavalier's? "Hey, Lebron, stay with the team so we can milk as much money as possible from your extreme talent and marketability while we do pretty much nothing to secure you a supporting cast that will help you win championships." I'm not a Lebron lover, but I also don't see anything wrong with him moving from a team that made no effort to build a championship caliber team. Jordan needed a Pippen. Lebron had a Delonte West.

A quick google search suggests to me that Cleveland offered him $30 million more than any other team. Regardless, I wouldn't like him as much for leaving even if Cleveland offered less. I understand why he would want to leave. I just don't like it. It's hard to explain. At least he didn't wait until he was already on the way out to go and try to win a title like Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, or Kevin Garnett. That just reeks of desperation.

Yeah. People who switch jobs can't be trusted. They're just shifty, IMO. I mean, if you had to choose between an elite job in Miami surrounded by elite coworkers or a horrible job in Cleveland surrounded by crying middle-aged women who bring babies to work and force you to do everything in the entire company, that's a no-brainer for the Cleve every time.

This is the moment we've all been waiting for!!
