Oklahoman When Russell Westbrook went down with a season-ending knee injury last month, Patrick Beverley, the guy whose hustle play resulted in OKC's bad break, received some Twitter hate. Most notably, a Thunder ball boy threatened to kill the Rockets guard. Well, it seems, those digital tough guys have reappeared. On Wednesday night, after the the Thunder was eliminated from the playoffs by Memphis, a number of Thunder fans (or maybe just Russell Westbrook fans) took to Twitter to voice their displeasure. But instead of blaming tough luck or just admitting that, without Westbrook, the Grizzlies were j...

Oklahoman BY ANTHONY SLATER AND JOHN ROHDEIn the second round of last year's Western Conference playoffs, when Los Angeles Lakers forward Metta World Peace returned from a seven-game suspension for throwing a vicious elbow across the face of OKC sixth man James Harden, Thunder fans booed like they've never booed before at Chesapeake Energy Arena. But when OKC hosts Houston in Game 5 on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m., the boo decibels likely will far exceed those hurled at MWP when Rockets point guard Patrick Beverley is introduced during pregame and at every available sequence thereafter. It was Beverley who ca...

The Dream Shake The entire world seemed to hold its breath on Wednesday as Russell Westbrook slammed his fist on the scorer's table following the infamous play in which Patrick Beverley's hip collided with his knee during an Oklahoma City timeout. Everyone exhaled after the commercial break when Westbrook returned and played fairly well in the Thunder's 105-102 victory over Houston. But things were much worse behind the scenes then they seemed initially, as Westbrook has been ruled out for the rest of this series. Whether this gives the Rockets a legitimate chance to pull off the upset is certainly u...
