    Spurs - OKC should be a good one.

    Two MVP candidates going at it

    Well one MVP candidate (kawhi) and one media candidate (WB)

    The collective foaming at the mouth over Westbrook's TRIPLE DOUBLEZ and Kawhi's TWO WAY PLAY tonight is gonna be amazing. They might have to postpone the game to clean up Reggie Miller's drool all over the court.

    Meanwhile LOL @ Lakers-Suns being a national TV game

    Thunder Wins = Westbrook MVP
    Thunder Lose = Westbrook has no help.
    Spurs Win = Kawhi, MVP, best 2 way player
    Spurs Lose = Westbrook MVP

    no win situation.

    I think it might be better if OKC wins this game while Spurs hold Westbrook to pedestrian numbers.

    Dayum. Can we just watch the game and talk about it

    They won't stop talking about Westbrook and the MVP race, and how his teammates suck and how Durant's not there anymore.

    shut up! And I'm actually a big fan of WB.

    I wonder how Westbrook's teammates feel about being called garbage every game. Half of these guys weren't garbage last year.. Must be jarring for them.

    It's unfathomable how much the media is obsessed with Russell Westbrook and triple doubles. Unfathomable.

    This is worse than Curry the last few years. As ungodly annoying as it was, Curry at the very least was leading a historically good basketball team. His individual success never truly overshadowed what the Warriors themselves actually did.

    With Westbrook, it's entirely individual.

    It's a narrative. and it's something that's only been done once before. So I don't think it's unfathomable, I don't think it's surprising at all.

    I've always been a huge fan of Webber as a commentator. But this game is horrid with him and Marv commentating.

    Straight up calling okc trash apart from Westbrook. Already said twice Westbrook leads the league in assists.

    Surprising that we haven't heard them slobber of Leonard yet.

    Steven Adams... never fails. Whenever I watch OKC, he's doing something dirty.

    Commentators are actually having a meltdown here because they think Adams DIDN'T do anything? He instigated the whole thing, and was the one who pushed Green from behind. Unreal

    So Westbrook trusting his teammates and they look like a competent team.. Maybe his teammates aren't garbage.
