I like Nowitzki taking 5 minutes to celebrate and walking off. It's not about that trophy. It's about the next one. Lets go do work.

Also, hats off to the Thunder. Yall will be hoisting a couple trophies in the very near future.

Only person on the Mavs I don't like is Terry. I've always said I think Cuban is good for the league and Dirk is a great player and a great guy. And they are going against the Heatles. I'd much rather have any Texas team win it than LeBron.

Just because you are so full of hate doesn't mean everyone else is.

But you probably like Bowen, don't you GS? Terry could never achieve that level of pos-ness.

Not if they are letting Westbrick shoot 11-28 while Harden was 7-10.

Everything was on Westbrook that entire series. He shot .360/.200 and never took less than 15 shots. Harden shot .535 and never took more than 11 shots.

Wanna know why you lost in 5, thats it.

You think the great ones like Kobe, MJ, Bird, Magic, etc. were out making friends after they lost a playoff series? They were able to say a few words after losing a playoff series.

Making friends....really?



I don't think it is a sign he's a cancer, maybe the type of player that will pout when things don't go his way.

Have some dignity in a loss like you would after a victory.

It's not playing friends after a loss. When a series is over, its a sign of respect to shake hands after the game. Now, if he couldn't keep himself under control enough to shake hands, its probably better that he just bailed.

I've seen Peyton Manning do the same thing, but hey, let's not criticize him or anything.

Russ is an emotional cat, I wouldn't have done that, but I'll live with it, dude is still growing up. That doesn't make him a cancer. Funny how all these people think they have some inside knowledge about the OKC locker room, but you listen to every interview with his teammates and it's all praise. They get the guy.

Didn't really have a problem with him walking off.

It's only relevant news when Lebron walks off like that

and I'll admit, I'm the biggest Westbrook apologist out there. I think he deserves a lot of the critique he gets but he also takes a bunch of undeserved bull**** from talking heads and I can't wait for him to continue to grow his game. If you look back to his years at UCLA and his first 3 years in the NBA, he's shown marked improvement in each year. I expect more of the same next year.

Im kinda split between calling this acceptable and classless. In college, they get sportsmanship shoved down their throats, the NCAA runs hundreds of commercials talking about sportsmanship and higher standards; to have a student refuse to shake hands is unacceptable imo.

The NBA deals with "more adult" players who go to work at 8pm and are on a stage. If someone doesnt show class Im not gonna say the league should do anything other than draw attention to it. If you hurt a pouty player's image, he will get less endorsements. I dont think players should be the face of an organization if they are constantly bad mouthing opposing teams' fans, constant complaining about officials, elbowing unprotected players during layups, etc.
