Cappers and bettors often like to talk of revenge when a team plays another team or rival that beat them, or embarrassed them in some form or fashion. Frankly, the term/concept is often overused and it is very rare to find a true revenge situation in sports, or one that goes beyond winning or losing a game, or even a championship. But that is exactly what we have before us tomorrow night, when Russell Westbrook get’s to the face the man and the team that not only cost the Thunder a possible trip to the championships last year but also jeopardized Russell’s career as a basketball player. In fact, Russell Westbrook may never be the player he was before he suffered his knee injury at the hands of Patrick Beverley. Although the Thunder have played the Rockets twice this year, Russell didn’t play in either game. Why? Because of the very knee that Beverley injured, in what many perceived to be a cheap shot. In fact, during those playoffs Charles Barkley was adamant that if that had happened to him retribution would be swift and emphatic. Well, tomorrow is Russell’s chance for revenge; real revenge. Revenge that’s not just about a single game or even a championship but a man’s livelihood and career. I have waited an entire season for this day to come, ready to bet hundreds, if not thousands on the Thunder but I can’t, not anymore, and here is why…

keep going I like where this is headed.
In hindsight, it seems as if the team (without Westbrook) was better fit to take revenge, because of the very reasons you mention.
