Gutter War In OKC: We Got Kyrie Calling Thunder Fans Pussies While Shooting Free Throws, Luka Telling Them To 'Shut The Fuck Up'
One of the longest tweets and explanations to simply say 'fuck that guy, pay attention to basketball.' That's really what (I think) Kyrie is pissed about. It's Kyrie, you never have any goddamn clue with him. In this scenario he seems to be pissed that a fan courtside threw a ball away from Luka, delaying an inbound, and didn't look him in the eye? Whatever man. I get it's annoying, but that's a great homecourt advantage move. This was from game 1:

Kyrie, the fuck you talking about where you're from and how this isn't allowed? You almost, ALMOST, made your first logical point yet here we are going off the deep end again. Throwing the ball away to delay a throw-in is fucking hilarious. Every fan should do that! It's homecourt advantage for a reason. Clem wrote a whole ass blog about how you should be able to throw things on the court like an ECW match. If you can find any sort of advantage during a home game, use it. It's that simple.
That moment led to this. Kyrie calling Thunder fan pussies
See, this is how you handle it. I hate to give any sort of credit to Kyrie, but shit talking is fair game. If they are going to go at you and your teammates you earn every right to call them pussies, so long as you don't cry about it and try to get them ejected. Leave it all on the court and waving while calling them pussies will do the trick. You can't cry about them because we all know Kyrie's history with fans.
Then we had this video of Luka getting into it with a fan

Apparently that fan decided to go after Luka's family. Bold strategy.
Also just a dumb thing to do. You can't go after family unless you're saying super nice things about Mirjam (Luka's mom). I will only say nice things about Mirjam.
That led to Luka delivering a classic. A solid shut the fuck up.
I personally love this stuff. The playoffs are supposed to be heated. Yeah, keep family out of it, but the rest of the shit talking? Sign me up. I want gutter wars in the playoffs. I want players to hate fans, I want fans to hate players, I want teams to hate teams. I don't care if OKC/Dallas seems like a whatever series, make it one built on guys pissed off at everyone.
