Re: Has Westbrook become must watch tv?
He's such a polarizing guy. That's what everyone said about Kobe back in the day as well. Westbrook seems like a massive douche, and he's very unlikeable, but hell.. The dude is ripping apart the league. Not even Lebron has put up these numbers over a stretch like that. Very impressive. I don't see how anyone can argue that CP3 is better anymore.
I still think Durant is a better player when healthy though. Durant is absolutely elite on both ends of the floor, and when he's healthy there's no better scorer. OKC is lucky to have both. I think this is the year you can finally say they have two top five players in the world. When was the last time you could say that? Lebron/Wade maybe? Kobe/Gasol? Kobe/Shaq? It's a pretty rare feat to hold two massive talents like that.

Yeah, that dent shouldn't be there I'm pretty sure. Something's not right.

Shooting 43 percent is dominant?

His face is broken. His regular season might be over.

No. He's a chucking, out of control, buffoon. I heard the stats for that other triple double which he lost (the stats were terrible). And I just saw someone call him chokebrook in another thread, so I'm guessing his triple double in this game was meaningless as well. Short answer...its kd's team. Westbrook is overrated.

Yeah, let's just discount his assists and rebounds and the fact he accounts for something like 85% of OKC's entire offense when he's on the floor.
His offensive production this month is at historical levels.

My guess: broken cheekbone or broken jaw. He will probably have to wear a mask for a while
Westbrook didn't seem to be in too much pain, or even notice it on the court. Maybe it's not too serious. But a dent on someone's head is damn weird, and pretty scary

Yes, I think he's must watch tv. He's been spectacular, though he's also a must see for what to do as well as what not to do. Dude is amazing, but he can't just take 30+ shots every other game with around 20 misses.

The real decision the Jazz FO is making is between Continuity, Cap Flexibility, and Cash Considerations.

Same old garbage people have been saying about Westbrook forever. Doesn't matter that he's putting up historical numbers and production, people just want to spout the same BS.
If Russ didn't play tonight OKC would have been blown out. He was the reason they even had a chance to win this on Portland's home court on a 2nd night of a back to back.
Aldridge and Lillard both had 29 points each and they barely squeaked out a win vs an OKC that right now is pretty much just Russ, Ibaka and a bunch of role players.

I remember at UCLA, he wasn't a standout or anything... Nothing screamed future best player in the NBA about him...
Even aS recently as last season, I was critical of him, saying he shoots too much, when he has one of the most lethal and unique shooters in NBA history on his team..
But now?
I have no qualms about having Westbrook do whatever he wants.
I feel like there are parallels between how Westbrook is overtaking durrant, and how in the early 2000's when kobe overtook shaq.
Durrant and shaq are just 2 unique dominat players... But kobe and Westbrook are just insane competitors
Kobe never overtook Shaq. Even in 2004 when Shaqs decline had begun he was dominating Detroit until Kobe decided he wanted to be Finals MVP.

Beast Mode on the court. Love watching him play.
