WTF are you talking about? Durant was off all ing game, Westbrook got hot he had to shoot. He hit a big 3 in crunch time to cut the lead to 6. Durant 2 me just seems like he lacks that killer instinct at this stage of his career.
The kid really needs to learn his place...fast.
The bottom line is the Thunder is Durant's team. In the clutch, HE should be the one with the ball in his hands on just about every possession. Instead, this Westbrook kid is fumbling the ball, throwing up bad shots, and not distributing to the open man.
I can't see him lasting too much longer in OKC if this continues. They have enough weapons on their team, they need someone to distribute the ball to them. Westbrook has the talent to be that distributor, but I don't think his ego will ever allow it since his other stats would dip considerably.

Westbrook likes to up his stats, then goes home and plays as himself on NBA2k11
I don't like the idea of being predictable and playing Kobe ball. The way I see it is Westbrook had the better stroke so it's only right he gets to eat first.
Plus you have to blame Scotty here for implementing the wrong idea here. He stated he doesn't really care who shoots the ball as long as player X thinks he's playing hard. That's the reason why you saw Harden and Cook bricking up shots in the last 2-3 minutes of the game.
Agreed. I don't care if KD was 1/20 going into the 4th: get him the damn ball. Dirk didn't particularly have a Dirk game, but he touched the ball at least every other time down the court in the 4th. The game's not that hard. The funny part: Westbrick is being outplayed by someone old enough to be his pops.
Yeah, hitting a 3 to trim the lead from 8 to 5 with 30 seconds left is oh so clutch. That game was in the bag at that point. His 4/7 assist/turnover ratio was even worse than the previous 2 games.
and how exactly was KD cold in the 4th? He was 3-3 from the field.
Westbrook was 4-9.
Westbrook is horrendous
I didn't watch the 2nd half till the late 4th, but still Durant has to demand the ing ball he's too nice for his own good.
Agreed but it could backfire at the same time. If he demands the ball from Russell, the little would definitely throw a hissy-fit, get a technical for cursing out his own teammate, and then make one of his stupid ass faces.
I guess I shouldn't fault him for the last part because he's just a dumb looking dude in general.
Westbrick has been our sixth man out there on the court. Keep it up Russ!
Westbrick
is it just me or do these foo's look alike
The game was lost after those 4 or so possessions with 2.5 minutes left where the Thunder just heaved bricks on the fly like the time was running out, and when Westbrook bricked one shot and then threw the ball into the stands as he drove into the lane out of control a couple possessions later. KD never touched the ball during that stretch.
They could have just gotten to the line or at least gotten a better look, but nope, they suc bed to the new team "gotta get all the points now" bug while Dallas just played their game. It's about poise after all the talent is fielded, and that's on Scott Brooks.
So, COTY seems to get ousted a couple years down the road in the last few years. Is Thibbs next when the Bulls falter this year and next (assuming they do), or is Thibbs the real deal?
Another thing I don't like about Westbrook is his at ude. Too much 'chip on his shoulder stuff'. I really think he might end up like another Marbury of Francis.
Dirk was just as off yet he got the ball during crunch time when it matters. Guess what, he also made things happen. Kudos to Kidd and Terry for having the confidence to throw it to the German when they needed clutch scoring. That's what superstars are supposed to do, Westbrook is as erratic as a point guard I've seen in some time. I agree with the point that Durant is maybe a bit passive but it's still no excuse for his teammates to freeze him out like that.
crofl no they don't.
Durant, Harden and.....
They would be extremely foolish to break up these two. The guy's only 22 and if he were to improve his jumper/shot selection then the Thunder would basically have two guys that are unguardable. I don't even like Westbrook but you can't deny the fact that he has enormous potential to dominate the league at the point guard position. The Thunder are also poised to take over the WCF for the next decade with these two, so it would be re ed to break them up unless you get a ridiculous trade offer.
lol @ Harden being the second option
lol @ dominate the league at the PG position
When it comes down to crunch time you have to go with your closer, for better or for worse. When you have no closer, you end up with a bunch of unclutch numbskulls throwing up bricks.
I'll take Kobe ball in the last couple of minutes vs. any other option. Why? Because I know what I'm gonna get on most nights with Kobe, he's a proven commodity and he has delivered in the clutch time and time again. He's given Laker fans 5 glorious championships to celebrate.
Durant is certainly capable of doing the same. He just needs the ing ball in his hands.
Tbh if they can they should trade Westbrook for an interior scorer. Harden will be a good 3rd option in the coming years, their 2nd option needs to be a PF or C.
not that outlandish, imho
Come home, Russell. Come home.
Westbrook is a great player. Stupid haters.
Great point guards don't average 4 turnovers per game throughout a regular season. In the playoffs, he's averaging 4.6 TO and only 6.3 assists per game. That's a horrible A/TO ratio, and while he has ton of athletic ability and talent, he is not a good decision maker and not a great point guard.
Westbrook needs a Carlislesque coach to help reign him in....
