Scott Brooks flatly rejected Mark Cuban's suggestion that the Oklahoma City Thunder tank the season due to injuries to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

"I don't really pay much attention to other people's thoughts on our team," Brooks said. "I know what we're about; I know what our organization is about. Everybody has their opinion and they're entitled to that.

"Tanking is not something that we will consider. I don't think any team is focused on doing that. You're a pro team; you get paid to play and play as hard as you can."
