Something about him I just don't like. Can't deny his skills and athleticism. Possibly the league's biggest ball hog, but with so many injuries, what else can the Thunder do? Forty three attempts is really ridiculous.
I once was one of those people that actually liked Westbrook probably more than Durant. I just thought that Durant was too timid. Now I'm like...**** Westbrook
I loved the quote by Pacer's coach Frank Vogel: "If he's going to take 43 shots, he's going to score a lot of points and nobody else on the court will get into a rhythm." The stats seem to agree, OKC is now 2-7 when Westbrook scores at least 40.

Russellangelo only got that tech because he once mocked how that ref works out. Ed Malloy, do you even lift, bro?

People don't understand that there's really nobody else on the team that can score with all the injuries. RWB literally has to do everything. His play has been nothing short of amazing.
He's 4th in the NBA in assists. His assists numbers would be higher if some of those guys were better finishers. I guess he needs to be able to catch his own passes now and finish by scoring for people to stop downplaying his accomplishments.
Because his usage is so high. His decision making and court vision can be pretty poor. He doesn't break defenses down like Chris Paul
The guy had a really good game. You'd have to be a nit-picking, anal-retentive shutterbug to think otherwise.
Looks like he's going to win the scoring title; Harden has to score 69 pts next game to win it. Westbrook is up by .5 of a pt for the title
Only hope is that Westbrook is injured first play of the game and has a 0 point game for the last game. Unfortunately, I don't want that to happen to anybody in the NBA.

If someone told me to chose between Harden or Westbrook to build my franchise around I honestly don't know who I would choose
