Re: NBA Game Discussion Thread 1/30/12 - 2/04/12
Just stirring this pot again
Did you see Blake Griffin's dunk on Kendrick Perkins? Of course you did. And you probably did one of a few things. You said, "OHHHHH!!!!" you shook your head or you passed out in terror.
It was an amazing play.
But one guy wasn't impressed and he has a better look than any of us.
"I have no appreciation for it at all," Thunder star Kevin Durant told reporters Wednesday, via the Oklahoman.
You shouldn't be surprised by that though. Durant's also a guy that when asked if he was happy for Dirk Nowitzki to get to the NBA Finals last year, he said, "I'm not happy for him at all." Durant isn't going to play the game where he says all the right things just to be nice. He didn't like Griffin cramming on his guy Perk and he didn't like all the attention it got either.
"It was a layup, I think," Durant said. "He threw the ball in and got fouled and made a free throw. So it’s three points at the end of the day."
It was in fact a dunk, by definition, but that's not the point. Durant came away unimpressed by the Blake Show's poster of his teammate. But is that the problem? Because it happened to Durant's teammate?
"If it wasn't against us, maybe I would have said it was a good play," he said.
Wonder if he thought this was a dunk.

Man, KD has been dropping some good stuff lately. First he calls out the media for talking all that stuff about him and Russ, and now he defends Perkins with the Blake dunk.
Like he said, if Blake throws that down against another team, he's cool with it, but since it happened to OKC, Durant doesn't want any part of that, and I can respect that attitude.
I think Durant's dunk was better than Blake's, too.
Looking forward to watching the Thunder-Mavs game tonight. I'd like to see some of Philly-Chicago, too.Currently Playing:

Soooo ummm.....Magic and Wizards tonight. Surely the Magic can't lose this one right? Surely they have no chance of being blown out right? The only wreck in the NBA worse than the wreck in Orlando is currently in the Nation's Capital (Charlotte too but I digress). So with that in mind, the Magic have gotta have at least a ten point win waiting for them at night's end right? And if they don't....you gotta get Dwight out of town by the morning right?Comment

KD knew that dunk was serious, he's just being a good teammate.....
Unlike Dwight, who was laughing at JJ Redicl getting crossed and falling that time....
Gotta ride with your teammates lolComment
