We know they play better with Melo, but the minutes aren't there for him to do that, and for some reason they don't trust Patterson enough to pull him early. But Felton works well with Melo for sure and having PG13 in there with them, adds to the security. But everyone on the team is better with Westbrook. Seems like the best way to increase their productivity, essentially unleashing Westbrook
I wish. Westbrook is one of very few players that can elevate any lineup to a decent o-rating, so of course Billy won't let him. On the other hand, I'm willing to bet that George is with the bench because he's the most natural moving without the ball and not going is so Billy trusts he won't revert to those habits when the starters are in.
Westbrook is already playing with the bench to end both the 1st and 3rd quarter.
