    I'm excited about this trade, as it gives us a much better chance to win the West. I just worry because Westbrook often struggles with his alpha-infused tunnel vision where he tries to just dominate everyone on the court through brute strength and athleticism. When he turns into Muscle Chestbrook, the ball stops moving, his field goal percentage plummets, and he simultaneously takes over and destroys offensive flow.

    How worried are you that we will end up with an aging Muscle Chestbrook?

    My Mr. Hyde name for Russ was Tussle Westbrick. Interesting OP's is Muscle ChestBrook.

    I wonder what other names we have for Russ.

    I do hate when he gets stuck midair without a dump off or follow up move, resulting in contested and/or twisted shots. A lot does have to do with his propensity to wanna muscle it into the basket.

    However, if we can space the floor better than OKC did, those moments may be less contested. Fingers crossed.

    When you google it, you will see that someone came up with it in 2013, if not earlier.
