    The very next question was whether he felt like he had help. Westbrook said "I trust my teammates at all times. I always trust my guys."

    Really?

    If he didn't care, he'd have more assists and not go 3-18 in the 4th quarter or whatever it was.

    he trusts them to set screens, rebound (or not depending on how many more he needs to get to 10), play defense, not b**** openly to the media about their roles....

    I like Billy D as an NBA coach and believe if Presti hired him a year earlier, KD would still be with the Thunder.

    That said, he should not have pulled WB near the end of the 3rd. It's the playoffs and sometimes you have to deviate. After OKC crumbled with him off the floor, WB decided he had to take every shot in the 4th. Their chemistry was totally blown.

    WB has to realize hero ball doesn't work and OKC's chances to advance live and die with his teammates.

    I'll go back to what I said in another thread: OKC won't win this series without good production from Kanter. The Rockets ability to exploit his poor footwork and decision-making on defense has been masterful so far.

    Oladipo shot 5/26 for the first two games, that's 19%. He has been complete crap, so I wouldn't call out anyone if I were him.

    How does NBA.com not bleep out the F word??!! Any kid could push play on that and hear it. Irresponsible on their part. They didn't write the word but they let you hear it. Idiots.

    Let's not act like Westbrook didn't shoot them into losses in the 4th quarter of playoff games in the past. He did the same **** in years prior this is nothing new he is just getting a pass now because he doesn't have Durant to take the heat with him when they lose.
