he wasn't during the year, i watched them enough. but something happened. he made some comments recently about being hurt or something but he was vague about it. so who knows. he looks terrible.


Dude was trash most of the year. Triple doubles happen just because he gives all out effort and he stat pads

With the way he plays okc should consider trading him


:lol: nah. George is not the same player after that injury and melo is on a hard decline. Okc has no bench to begin with too. He just needs the right players around him. Honestly without him, they would be in the lottery right now.

Westbrook is a top talent in the league. He just isn't a player you can build a championship team around. People rag on Durant for leaving, but he was well aware of the situation.

I want to see how his style of play changes once his athleticism declines, because everything he does it dependent on his athleticism.

Does his game resemble that of the current Derrick Rose?

Don't watch nba commentary all that much anymore. But how about those analysts that figured OKC to be a top 3 or 4 team at the beginning of the season? I'm curious as to how they might be rationalizing this performance.
