    BTW, for anyone that has been watching the Thunder consistently, Westbrook has had a fantastic month of basketball.

    Just like James, his story will be written in the playoffs. (If they make it... :D)

    44 sec left: "No need to foul here, up 3."

    Why the F would SA foul with that much time left Reggie!? It's not a "foul and don't let them attempt a 3" situation.

    Idiots like him are exactly why Westbrook was voted MVP.

    This is how I feel too. I like Westbrook in general. But understand his faults. The MEDIA makes me dislike him though via their coverage.

    Westbrook is "teflon" to the media with his faults. Everything gets explained away with "he is trying / competitor / energy etc."

    Don't confuse activity with achievement.

    he doesnt mean intentionally. more likely he means no need to pick up a silly foul and put them on the line

    LOL. Russ being Russ again. Taking pull up 3's. I mean, dude is shooting worse than Corey Brewer but he's taking all the game ending 3 point shots! That's Russ!

    He rather be 12 for 32 than let his team mate shoot, because he's RUSS!

    They are out of the playoffs. Look at their schedule. They have five games left and four will be losses. They are going home.

    Even when he's shooting poorly and missing crucial FTs, Harden still makes the clutch three. Westbrook can fill up the stat sheet and blow the win for his team when it counts.

    Clippers and Nuggets need to get wins, not looking likely

    Westbrook is a disgrace. He makes Melo look unselfish

    Must be fun playing with WB. Standing there wide open and watching him take a contested shot.

    I remember a time when Westbrook was the default fall guy for OKC then KD left and he can do no wrong.

    I think an argument could be made that Oladipo (whom OKC traded away) is a better player than Westbrook.

    OKC 44-33 (1-1 without Westbrook)
    Indiana 45-31 (0-6 without Oladipo)

    Now remove the games where they didn't play:
    OKC 43-32
    Indiana 45-25

    And this doesn't even take into account how far more efficient Oladipo is at scoring.

    How about Melo clapping his hands after Russ took the shot(around 46s)? That is funnier to me.

    Some people say a cucumber taste better pickled.

    (What player aren't you a fan of, as a result of ESPN brainwash?)

    That's the real question. And where the F are all these Kevin Durant fans coming from? All of a sudden we want to blame Westbrook for Durant being a p***y? That lady has got a little bit too much cheese on the taco, wouldn't you say?

    This is exactly the same kind of shot that won him MVP last year. If he makes the shot, people will say he is MVP, has killer instinct, win in clutch; if he misses, he has no help.

    He made one near the end of the season last year against Denver, and that shot itself probably won him 20 MVP votes.
