    Yeah. This is what makes him entertaining. Not the volatilty of his performance, but the passion that he has for competing.

    But Westbrook is a below average shooter. 32% this year. Usually lower than that in past years.

    Seriously though, I am really curious if Westbrook has to shoot this many threes or if he is just stupid.

    WB's high TS is abnormal for his career, we have to see if he cools off or this is his new normal. For MJ I think it was harder to score in his era due to handchecks so you cant compare their efficiency its not apples to apples.

    In today's era my baseline for ballhogging is around 60%TS, that neans you are elite at scoring so you should get the ball almost every time. This year the ballhogging of WB wont hurt them as much because he is hot, but even when he cools off he doesnt stop chucking so that was what hurt them in the past.

    Once he and Durant are on the court they can switch gears at any time. They were down against the Pistons in the 1st half and yet easily won by more than 10.

    I hope they can stay healthly, can't wait to watch Thunder-Warriors in Conference Finals
