Mavs win is acceptable if Westbrook gets <5 rebounds..... <10 assists would be gravy. A Thunder loss does hurt Russell's MVP resume, so there's that anyway.
If the Rockets win 10+ more games than the Thunder, but Westbrook wins the MVP, then the media has lost all credibility. Only 2 years ago, the disparity in win totals is why Curry won it over Harden.
They did. And it was pretty evident that would be the case. He was legit solid in Sacramento. Of course the Kings decided to let him walk for free because Kings.
Oh I know he is an accomplished and skilled low post scorer. I was admittedly watching this matchup with an eye towards how he would look on our team. I was wondering if we missed a chance to solidify our interior defense, but Noel still has a ways to go before he can be a true defensive anchor. He is too light and just not strong enough. I remember us destroying him in the pick and roll when he was a Sixer with Capela.
Rox swept the Mavs with no problem this year and OKC is getting blown out by them. I do think the Mavs are better than earlier in the year when the Rox played them but OKC looks over-matched out there against them tonight.
Dallas: Long hair don't care. Chauncey was like, "Westbrook is just getting warmed up!" lol Time to pad your stats Westbrook.
All of sudden it's how good Dallas is and not how bad Westbrook is. Tussle Westbrook runs through Barnes no tech!?
Westbrook's gonna finish with 35/13/15 in a huge loss and awful percentages and yet it won't matter because he WILLED HIS TEAM AS MUCH AS HE POSSIBLY COULD AND NEVER GAVE UP!!
Man the Mavs are a different animal right now. I hate to admit because I hate them, but they are much better now.
