The Russell Westbrook Thread (2014/15)

Post #281 » by **PaulieWal** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 4:38 am

He needs to reign it in and follow KD's lead this game. KD has it going on.

Smart teams don't even guard Roberson lol.

It was like that gif from the Memphis game on Prince.

And that has really bogged down the Thunder.

Green/ Thompson have one foot in the lane and aren't even closing out to him.

Bad first half for Russ. Took some bad shots and had some very sloppy unforced turnovers. He was due for a bad game, hopefully he improves in the 2nd half.

Westy had a great first quarter, but looked bad once Durant left and didn't really recover. Lots of turnovers and sloppy handle, although to be fair he was fouled hard on a few of those drives. Wonder if his hand is bothering him, his handle has been super shaky.

By the way- how brilliant was Kerr to pull Curry during that insane Durant scoring run in the 1st, and then bring him right back as soon as OKC went to the bench. He's already a really great game Manager.

I think he's fine, they are just being cautious with him.

We were robbed of probably the greatest game of his career....

Well, Russ is off, but I'll say GSW missing Bogut is equalled by OKC w/ no KD. Sigh, hope he's in the game vs. LA. Want to get to .500.

This needs to turn into a shootout

Just looking at this game today it's insane how much people underestimated these guys.

Long term I think Durant/Westbrook have the potential to be closer to Kobe/Shaq than whatever duo people were comparing them to.

I mean in terms of raw talent it could happen. Besides Kobe/Shaq and LeBron/Wade you'll never have seen a guy go on a 35+ PER streak and then the other guy open the next game with 30 points in a quarter

I think defensively they have a gear they can reach like LeBron/Wade in 11 and 12 and 13 to an extent. They just need to stay healthy FFS. :nonono:

Lol Jackson you're not Kobe

I always thought that, but i didn't think they had accomplished enough for that to even be discussed.

Westbrook, KD, and Serge already hold the record for most playoffs games by a trio of players 26 and under. People kind of forget how young they really are.

GSP · Post #299 » by **GSP** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 6:01 am

Melo and the Iceman have both had 30+ points in a quarter so how has Kd been the first to score 30 in <20 mins?

Anyone else feel he's not playing like his new self this game...
