Thunder vs. Mavericks

Great game by Krstic. Big man, big player, next season you will se how good he is.

A slightly above average starting center.

Nope, you are wrong, i watch Krstic from 2001/2002, since he was player in Partizan(Belgrade).
He was always good, but injures are stop him. Now he is a little slower, but healty, he will be good again. He has everything, shot, smart, tehnic...
In play off(2005,2006 dont know exactly) against Maimy and Shaq, he was 18 p, 9 reb, in 4 games.
Coz you cant say that he is average, no way.

Westbrook needs to realize that he doesn't need the ball in his hands every possession
A few times when Thabo brought the ball up Westbrook was there begging for it

Yeah, I noticed also.

You can't have a teammate pushing the ball and you be chasing him instead of putting yourself in a position for a good pass and yelling at him to pass you the ball.

I think that with almost nobody else on the roster (especially with Green down) that can create their own shot consistently, the team needs him to put up the number of shots he's put up the last few games. From watching the games (with a few exceptions), he doesn't seem to just be trying to force his shot... it's just that there isn't anyone else to step up and score. When Weaver and Krstic were willing tonight, he took a backseat almost every time.

Exactly what I said after the dallas game last week. Everybody, including Green, was being passive and standing around while Westbrook was agressive and working his butt off.

No one here doubts westbrook's willingness and ability to work his butt off harder than anyone else.

The problem is that for a lot of people this hustle and seeming hard work completely cloud their ability to step back and evaluate RW objectively as a whole, because if they did they'd see that his hustle doesn't cover up or compensate for his incompetence
