lol Westbrook

[TE]

Does this guy actually think he's deserving of taking all the damn shots (with the exception of one off the OKC timeout), while Durant is on that team? Jesus, if inexperience was ever a disease and lack of basketball IQ was a cancer, it's plaguing the out of Westbrook right now.

Cool story bro

i'd take Westbrook against Kobe over Durant v Artest anyday.

Artest has KD's number

What does Durant have to do with anything?..he's not going to take every shot..

Westbrook carried the team when Durant wasn't playing/struggling, he's obviously a great PG, he opened everything up for the Thunder against LA, just like he did during the playoffs last year..

He obviously has severe flaws in his game, particularly his basketball IQ/decision making, but it will come with experience..his defense is also pretty ty, especially since he was hyped as a good defender in the past..

Without Westbrook this game is a blowout,STFU if you don't even know what's going on in the game

[DJ Mbenga]

westbrooks game was layups or living off the ft line. once that ended durant wasnt being guarded by walton anymore so he couldnt explode again

[TE]

Westbrook holding the ball and controlling almost each position took Durant out of the game, even if Durant is struggling, he has to get the ball, he's too good to be gone away from like that.

The Thunder need some decdent outside shooters to spread the floor. Also, get Westbrook to play the 2 and get a PG that can hit open J's. There's too much penetration on this team and while it works in waves, once it stalls they can't manufacture points too well.

I agree about the shooters. I'm not sure what Westbrook playing the 2 would accomplish, shooting guards are usually expected to be able to shoot...

Look again. They ran almost every set play to try and get Durant the ball on the wing, but Artest had him locked up and took away any passing lanes.

Durant can't play physical basketball. Kid needs to hit the weight room.

OKC needs more perimeter shooting, and a post presence if they want to take the next step in the playoffs.

...an implosion wouldn't hurt either.

tee, hee.

and that thinking is the reason why it's:

Kobe 5

Duncan 4

[Giuseppe]

^Exactly. Once Kobe took Westbrook, it was over.

lol at OKC, they thought once they got the attention & respect of the Lakers, it'd be alright.

Uh, uh.
