Tyreke Evans' jumpers through three games:

View media item 639809
Not sure how you shoot them next to the rim, but the point still stands. Stop it.

And he's only shooting 43.8% on layups (7-for-16).

Tyreke gonna tyreke

 

[noblekane]

Lol that man needs to be banned, there won't be another grandmama

Come on son dont act like larry johnson is one of the greatest of all time.

That 90's marketing

If only tyler perry could rebound

 

[awwsome]

I'm saying, they making it seem like LJ is one of the greatest ever, he's very reachable.

His best season isn't better than Blake's rookie season and you see how he's discussed around here.

Russy!!! #fashionking

I hope he's not rushing it and is 100% healthy because if he goes down again OKC is screwed

Thought he had a tortoise dead carcass on his bed at first

 

[marath0n]

I thought the other Thompson brother played baseball?

The youngest brother does. There's 3 of them.

The oldest one, Mychel, is on the same D-League squad with Seth. Made it to the final cut with the Knicks last year.

Yeah, hooped with Mychel in HS. Super mediocre.

Thats the first ever heard someone say there will never be another larry johnson laughing so hard my side hurt

Him and Vincent Van Goat got that nostalgia in their coffee, LJ never had a PER over 20, there's been plenty of guys that have been better than him since

 

[noblekane]

It must be the wig............or dress

 

[quik1987]

I don't think Westbrook should rush back either, it's still early in the season, they don't need him immediately.

 

[you big dummy]

Glad to see Russ back, but like others have said I hope he's completely healthy and not rushing back too early.


In other news, Jordan Brand finally signed Kawhi Leonard

and thats why, even though i was a huge Tyreke fan, i am ecstatic about our SG of the future now being Ben McLemore and not Tyreke

 

[noblekane]

Apparently people think playing in sac is what holds these lazy underachievers back

Like as soon as cousins is traded hes gonna **** dance around on water like tiny **** tim on christmas

 

[julius wrek]

While I'm happy Russ is playing tonight,

I hoped that his absence would have made move the ball more, something they did in the preseason.

I also hoped that this would further expose how colossally inept Scott Brooks and result in his firing.

Fire brooks, get Phil, win titles.

Fire brooks, get Phil, win titles.

that thunder roster is kinda hurt. i dont think even phil can get them a title.

now if harden was still there....

 

[IATT]

Will be a great day when brooks is fired

lol yea, but to be fair there has been a lot of players during the Maloof era that played much better when they left, like Hickson and Hawes off the top of my head

 

[buc em]

Wasn't it just last year (or maybe the year before) that Hawes was balling out of his mind early on, and people went nuts...and then he came crashing back down to earth lol.

He didn't "crash back down to earth"...he got hurt and was out for a big chunk of time.

 

[nelson999]

Fire brooks, get Phil, win titles.

They need to add some more scoring before that would work.  Westbrook and Durant cant do it all.

Boy apparently you need help comprehending and remembering our conversation about Bennett. You acted like Bennett was on Larry Johnson's level athletically. I disagreed. You then accused me of not watching Bennett. From what he's shown thus far, would you still say he is on Johnson's level athletically?

OKC is screwed no matter what, without that scorer coming off the bench. (Harden, K-Mart)

They aren't going anywhere this season unless someone else steps up.

 

[IATT]

Reggie Jackson will be coming off the bench once Russ is back to normal (I guess we'll see pretty soon if Russ is starting right away)


Then just hope lamb and/or pj3 develop

 

[mgrand15]

Wonder if Westbrook coming back is a panic move on OKC's part. Russ being out really exposes the team for being built very poorly due to a cheap, cheap owner. The fan base was not happy after being destroyed by Minny.

Westbrook on coming back before the 4-6 weeks: "I was never on that timeline to start with. I was just taking it day by day."
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) November 3, 2013

Westbrook says the thing he missed most was pregame: "Coming in and eating my peanut butter and jelly sandwich, stuff like that."
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) November 3, 2013

Westbrook: "I just want to say thank you again to everybody for their support. I'm happy to be back on the floor."
— Darnell Mayberry (@DarnellMayberry) November 3, 2013

Westbrook on the 4-6 week timetable: "I don't know who made that up in the first place."
— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) November 3, 2013

Westbrook said he wanted to play in the season opener.
