I did, which just leads me to believe Turner is the issue even more. Cause, they started sucking long before this. It seems like Turner didn't put up with Stephensons "crazy" in practice like the others have started to be able to.

The only one out there is the Turner one. I'm too lazy to look harder. But I read somewhere that Stephenson practices how he plays and the other guys don't like it, but they know Lance and put up with it. Turner didn't and got into a fistfight with him...

From his book:

"(I asked Turner) to simply throw me a bounce pass. As soon as the ball hit his hands, he rocketed it right back and yelled, "Just shoot the (expletive) ball!" so loudly that he got the attention of everyone in the gym, including Coach Matta. But instead of blowing his whistle and making us run, Coach decided to sit back and watch everything unfold.
I shot my free throws and switched spots with Evan, who had been standing underneath the basket rebounding for me (and throwing passes back to me as hard as he could). As we walked past each other, Evan called me a (expletive) under his breath and threw his shoulder at my face, connecting square with my chin. Coach Matta instantly blew his whistle and yelled, "There it is! Everyone on the line!"
And with that, Evan had finally had his meltdown."

Think I also remember one part where Turner got pissed that Titus used a pump fake in practice but I can't find that part online.

Edit: Found it but can't put copy it to here. Titus put a pump fake on Turner, ET bit on it and fouled Titus and landed hard, then got up and got in Titus' face and called him a punk-ass bitch, lol.

I loved watching him play at osu. But hated hearing him talk and it had nothing to do with his extremely strange voice. He liked himself a lot.

He was a great player, but as time goes on, seems to be a fucking head case with an ego that doesn't match his skill set.

So he should have just put up with him being an idiot?

Who said going hard in practice is being an idiot?

And yes, when you are coming to a title team from a team who lost 984637 in a row, you shut the fuck up and do what your told. You blend in. you dont get in a fistfight with a guy who led the league in Triple Doubles

That intro for the clippers was easily the worst I've ever heard. Usually I love seeing the pregame videos. But that was laughable. No part of that got anyone fired up.

People fight in practice, it happens. Jordan was punching dudes in the mouth, it's part of competition. It happened to me quite a few times as well. Sometimes competitiveness gets the best of you and personalities clash. You said he didn't put up with Stephenson's "crazy," said nothing about going too hard so that's what I responded to.

Unbelievable. Crawford decides to stop the action in between free throws, after he'd already given Durant the ball for the 2nd. That's unacceptable.

Ultimately KD missed the FT so I its on him. But FT shooting is SOOOOO much about routine and muscle memory, Crawford threw a giant wrench into that

I believe that was it. I hope someone from the Thunder lays into him publicly.

Is he within his right to do that? I don't know what the rule is.
