OKC is making Dallas look a lot better than they are IMO. It's all brute force with Westbrook and it isn't working. I agree, Dallas is better now, but I would like to think Harden would be able to pick them apart with the PnR.
If the Rockets continue winning at ~70% that could happen. But the media seems to strongly favor WB. Maybe Oladipo's back bothers him for a while, he doesn't return to form this season and OKC slumps and finishes #7. In that case, the media will anoint Kawhi Leonard as the non-Harden candidate and shine the spotlight on him. I don't think Harden is going to win MVP. Too many folks just don't like him.
LMAO! I was thinking the same thing. I lost myself in the euphoria of Westbrook being potentially exposed on national TV.
really eager to see what the media writes up about this tomorrow... "but...but...wbrook good...wbrook most baluble prayer"
Well it's not over yet; 18 points is nothing. It looks like Dallas lost their best defender in Mathews and Westbrook never quits.
Same thing that they've been forcing down our throats all year. His teammates aren't that good. Well how the hell would we know when they only get the ball as an afterthought. He is not making his teammates better. Just watch the games. He even has 2 new guys on the team that can score and they've barely had a chance to touch the ball this game. It's the Westbrook show and everybody else is just there to pick up the scraps. Westbrook out and Taj gets a bucket. Coincidence?
It's amazing OKC refuses to get Dirk in the PnR. What are they doing out there? Adams should have 1 million points.
Trying to win for Dirk...as a player you never want to tank. Going into the lottery means the possibility of someone taking your job. Plus a lot of these guys are undrafted former college stars trying to prove they belong in the NBA.
Westbrook great stats and yet OKC lost Media- look he has no help around him I heard the commentators say Westbrook averaging 10 assista game is stunning considering his support cast They also said when WB sits, OKC struggle So the inferior support cast twist is in
