    The continuing decline

    More than half of the guard’s shots were at the rim last year. But now, just 40.3% are—one of the steepest year-to-year decreases for a perennial All-Star guard in the past 20 seasons.

    Even when Westbrook does drive, he’s worse at finishing at the play than he’s ever been before, logging a career-low 39.3% shooting mark, and with more turnovers than assists—an imbalance he’s never had as a driver. And when he gets to the line, which he’s doing at one of the lowest free-throw rates of his career, he’s converting there on just 60.8% of his tries, the worst mark in his 13-year career.

    Taken in full, you get the least efficient season of Westbrook’s career. Dead last in the NBA in true-shooting percentage—91st out of 91 —among volume-shooting veterans. Win-share totals that have plunged into the negative. Pick almost any statistic, and you’re likely to end up with the same downward-trending result.

    And Westbrook averages more turnovers than any player, even though he shares ballhandling duties with Bradley Beal.

    I've been visiting the Thunder message board back when Russ was still in OKC. And then I saw how people reacted to Russ before, during, and after his time with the Rockets. The bigger picture is quite funny. Westbrook makes fans bipolar.

    Russ with a 40 point trip dub. A little vintage statline in the loss.

    The awkward silence by the Washington broadcasters.

    The slow zoom-in of Westbrook on the court after the pass.

    So sad. So hilarious.

    I mean there is only .7 seconds left anyways. He had to do something crazy for it even work.

    They are probably more sad about 2 missed dunks.
