Especially nice since Westbrook was still trying to talk smack about Beverley during his press conference.
Westbrook mentioned in his post-game conference that Beverley said he was 1st team defense and Westbrook said "he must be dreaming or some ****"
Great thing about Bev is he dialed back his aggression when necessary. Last year or 2, Bev wouldve fouled out and gave up points via techs. He's matured and takes his frustration out on opposing players with a timely 3 or putback... indtead of playing foolishly overly aggressive on D.
Westbrook shot 38% and 27% from 3 for the series....how is that a good thing? That is TERRIBLE for his team....great he hustled and jumped high - and froze out his teamates in the 4th quarter of every game. No wonder all those other players left, who would want to play with that? He plays STUPID basketball. DD
yes, exactly. many times in this series i worried he was on tilt, but he didn't really commit a lot of stupid aggression fouls and stayed under control on offense. tough to walk right up to the edge and not fall over. this guy is one of the great bargains in the league. and far from letting that bother him, he just remembers the fight it took to get to the league and keeps playing as hard as day 1 in the nba.
Westbricks post game was so salty. He's such a little b****. Bev is the man. He is guts, heart and determination at its best.
The heart and soul of our team. He comes with 100 percent effort everytime he steps on the court. Westbrook is one of the toughest to guard and Beverley on most part, did make him work. Love his passion to the game and his 'no backing off' attitude from anyone.
He really does. He literally loses games for his team. It's great to watch. If I was a OKC fan I'd be pushing to get his ass outta town. Stat padding, selfish hero ball play and just low bball IQ doesn't win you championships.. Much less a playoff series.
He can play perfect first half, and then automatically turns into full chuck mode as soon as the 4th quarter starts, it's like clockwork every game. worst IQ ever
