He is just coming off of surgery.....

Chill out. He will be fine.

EDIT: And he is shooting .33 from 3....pretty big difference.

Lol dudes killin my fantasy team, but give the guy a break hes coming off a major injury, gotta expect hes gonna be inconsistent i'm still surprised that he hasn't had more rust coming off it.

Let's see where he is around Feb/March.

He's coming off his first major NBA injury, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now

And yet losing him would be a disaster.

I'm assuming you're a Laker fan, do you expect Kobe to put up 25 points on 50% shooting right off the bat? Dude it takes time to get reacquainted after an injury.

Still better than Rudy Gay who isn't coming off a major injury.

Ouch.

Give him some time, he's missing tons of shots he usually makes. He's still a positive out there, just because his aggressiveness opens up so much for his teammates. It's no wonder Ibaka started beasting ever since Russell came back.

RipCity71252 · Post #13 » by **RipCity71252** » Thu Dec 5, 2013 8:33 am

It gets worse.

He's shooting 22.9% on drives to the basket.

He's just setting up his exit from OKC like Lebron did in Cleveland. Come on down Russ!

Not only is he coming off a major injury, but I remember this popping up last year and everyone wanted his head after the Harden deal. He's an excellent player and incredibly important to the Thunder. His percentages will rise yet the team is much better with him regardless

Hmm...being a Warriors fan who has only seen Westbrook play against us I could have sworn he was shooting better than this. I guess he just needs to keep imagining he's shooting a game winner against us.

sidestep · Post #18 » by **sidestep** » Thu Dec 5, 2013 9:25 am

He's shooting 44% for midrange (good), as well for the restricted area (very bad). And 33% above the break.

I don't understand how PER works, does it not take into account percentages?

Russell Westbrook has a better PER than Lance Stephenson. Stephenson puts up comparable numbers outside of scoring, but he scores more effeciently(just through the brief sample we have). I am by no means saying I think Lance Stephenson is better than Russell Westbrook, just trying to figure out where the difference in PER comes from.

BadWolf · Post #20 » by **BadWolf** » Thu Dec 5, 2013 9:46 am

not really, if you should over some lowish percentage (33%?) your per only gets up with each shot you take
