DM72 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 OKC goes down in 5, but Russ is still the MVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The question is: do other stars even want to play with Westbrook? Durant clearly didn't. I think they'll have a hard time attracting another star which they obviously need. When Westbrook doesn't play at a very high level the Thunder are basically the Nets.

DM72 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Does any star want to come to OKC is the bigger question. Â Melo may need a team soon, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The excuses for Westbrook chucking, stat chasing, and playing bad basketball are as endless as they are predictable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I like how we've come to the point where a guy going 4-18 in the 4th quarter is now interpreted as putting the team first.  Westbrick is making some folks detach from reality.  Meanwhile, Eric Gordon has rejuvenated his career with Harden dropping dimes on him.

Going Commando Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Before the season began, I predicted that Westbrook would average a triple double and win the MVP.  I thought it would make Durant look dumb for leaving OKC.  But seeing the way unchained Westbrook plays, I actually think it makes Durant look smart and I feel empathy for him.  I was way too harsh in criticizing him for leaving OKC, because who the **** would want to play basketball like that?  Leaving that ****hole and that team to go play free flowing team oriented basketball in the beautiful Bay Area for the second best team in NBA history was the temptation of all temptations.  He still broke the NBA, but by God, what an easy decision it should have been. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
