Source close to Westbrook believe he was made out to be a scapegoat for Houston's playoff meltdown

While all true, lets not forget he had a soft tissue injury.

It seems we've quickly forgotten the Dort vs Harden, speaking of players with no self awareness. That was like watching Harden trying to put a square peg into a round hole. CP3 almost nearly orchestrated a huge and embarrassing upset because he knew Harden's and by extension, the rockets, tendencies ( aka predictable offense).

 

Westbrook can't blame anyone but himself for the lakers series. He was terrible and probably unplayable. Lakers barely guarded him and he barely made a positive play.

With that said, without Westbrook, do the Rockets even make it out of the first round? Do they beat the thunders in game 7? He didn't have a great game, but he certainly was the third best player on the team that night. Behind covington and gordon.

 

Russ had a good season. Good enough.

 

Injured?you blaming being a low iq turnover brick laying machine on injuries? I guess he has been injured all throughout his career. A guy who has never got out of the first round without Harden or KD. GTFO chump

Go get mental help regarding you’re harden anger issues.

 

lmao the usual westbrick stans in here trying to come to his defense. yall are an embarrassment

 

Except for that period when he carried the load in Dec/Jan while Harden was having his 1-17 3pa nights.

D'Antoni: James Harden's current slump is worst in four seasons

 

No, he really didn't if you look at more than points per game.

He was a -3 net rating on the year and a LOT worse in the playoffs.

Look beyond the flash and the points per game and you'll see a terrible player who is actively detrimental to the team he's on.

 

Wait, so you're telling me Russ was at full health in the playoffs???
Anyway I'm not arguing for Russ. I'm just pointing out the Hardhead pattern. I was never a big fan of having Russ here anyway.

 

Correct. Harden's accountability issues are pretty well known at this point.

 

Game 7, Dort was the leading scorer and we ended up winning by 2 points. Harden shot 11% from 3 in game 7 on 9 attempts.

 

You can’t blame dumb on injuries. He was making dumb decisions. Those turnovers are his trademark. They have been a consistent all throughout his career.

 

this is absolutely money. westbrick is exactly the player that casuals and people who don't know any better about the ins and outs of the game. anyone that possesses a semblance pass the level of ymca basketball can process how much of a loser this guy is.

 

The same could be said for Blames.

 

Harden has more basketball IQ in his left ball sack then Westbrook has in his entire body.

Westbrook will go down as one of the dumbest players in history.

 

The Stans won't allow anything less than WB is the sole reason why the Rockets suck. But you and I apparently watched the OKC series....

 

He shot 41% from the floor in the playoffs.......... the HIGHEST in 10 years in the post season.... hell he hadn't broken 40% since 2015.

He shot a sizzling 24% on 3's......... below his career playoff average of 29%

He shot an amazing 50% from the free throw line.....

The good news is that he some how managed to average more assists than turnovers! 4.6 to 3.8

He had a breathe taking OAVG of 89.

The Rockets were outscored in the playoffs by an average of 17 points per 100 possessions in the playoffs...... without Harden on the floor? Try 39 per 100.

We shouldn't be too hard on Westbrook though, he was even worse his last year in OKC and has been consistently terrible since KD left.

 

And if Blames doesn't change his ways, he will go down as the winningest, scoringest non-champion in history. Plus he will drag us down with him.

 

GM Harden sucks, he should have listened to CP3 and fought for CP3 to stay.

 

Harden was damn good against the lakers to .
