Has Westbrook been traded or why is he sitting down?

Darius Garland is un-belivable. If he doesnt make the ASG people need to be fired.

Also, can we give him a Max contract on the plane back home or do we need to wait till the end of the year....how does this work.

There's a video of him on YouTube when he was like 15 cooking some other kid 1v1.


Happy for this kid.

It's Casey we can never beat him.

Can't blame this one on Westbrook. That's for sure.

He's good. He's had an inconsistent season due to having been in Covid protocols twice and also two ankle injuries, but he's shown flashes of being an adept guard. I see him as the Nuggets future 2 when Barton starts declining.

Good LORD Westbrook is an atrocious finisher. Whatever the opposite of having touch is, that's Westbrook.

And the thing is his misses are so bad that it's practically like a live ball turnover for the other team

Good news is that Westbrook can still get to the rim.
Bad news is that he has just an awfully hard time finishing.

If that's the barometer, you can blame this on Lebron 10-fold. Lol.

Him taking it personal against a G-Leaguer and getting cooked on both ends doesn't help the Lakers.

Dwight Howard's athleticism is down to around 10% of what it used to be.

He's another player that's suffered under the new officiating for sure.

Garland looking like a prime Steve nash tonight. Sexton can kiss any hopes of a max extension goodbye.

speaking about good old stupid ''could you score a basket in NBA game'' debate, well, if you had Jokic for a teammate, your chances are greatly increased.

Actually no. He wasn't getting respect of refs past few seasons before this season. He just can't finish. Last few seasons he has been hacked similar manner and very tame whistle.
