Lol, Kawhi ends all that noise. Good. I actually wouldn't mind him winning MVP. It makes more sense to me then Westbrook.
My Gawd.. Russ was hunting for 2 damn assists and let the Spurs go on a run in the 3rd.. it was all down hill from there.. I mean, Russ easily got 2 assists in the 4th.. That stat-padding cost them.. wow..
1) Does not matter that the Thunder lost. Westbrook got the triple double and played well. He's the MVP 2) I don't know what to think of either of these teams in terms of playoff matchups. Both have extremely exploitable weaknesses for us, but also extremely notable advantages over us.
"Westbrook carrying OKC with his 39th triple double in this hystoric season not enough to beat San Antonio"
Perfect night, so far. With this loss, I don't think there is any chance for OKC to catch LAC now....LAC has the tie-breaker. Also, Memphis won 1 1/2 difference and one more H2H left, at Memphis. MEM pretty much owns the tie breaker....if they beat OKC.
Yup, when Westbrick is on the court, the goal of the team is to pad his stats. When he's not on the court the goal of the team is to score as many points as possible and stop the other team from scoring as often as possible. As much as some think he helps his team, he hurts them damn near that much too.
Oladipo was hot for a while when Westbrook was off. But I thought SA played great defense on Westbrook in the 4th. He couldn't really drive and had to pass out a lot. His triple double was pretty impressive but: -usual statpadding of rebounds...there was that 1 where he ripped it away from Sabonis -lots of turnovers But I will say his assists came pretty naturally today.
