rotfl. seriously? he got juked out of his shoes. not every player gets juked out of their shoes in that situation. he wasn't closing out from the paint he was a few feet away.

i'm not painting a brush that the loss was westbrook's fault or that this play was the end of the game or anything. it's one bad outcome of several that got us in the predicament at the end.

Except you were. And yes, when you're 10 feet away because someone else was helping, you do bite a fake. Because if you don't, you're not contesting. In which case Justin says you didn't try. But if you bite and contest, justin says you screwed up. Its really a perfect spot for you because the ideal is that well...there is none. There's no way to win with you because you make up history Youve been called by multiple people itt.

Your words:

that was not a well-contested three. wiggins waltzed to the rim off an adams switch and of course no thunder 4q meltdown would be complete without russ giving up a wide open three to the player we are hiding him on (covington).


Which first, it wasn't wide open. It was open because he helped and made the right play because KAT was wide open and is a better offensive player. Second, if they were hiding him he'd be on Tyus Jones, not Covington.

Some posters (one) will look for any reason to blame Russell Westbrook.


Nope. Russel Westbrook is my favourite player in the league. The only reason i'm rooting for OKC is Westbrook. I am from Europe and i've never been in the USA, let alone Oklahoma. But I'll be the first one to say when one makes a non intelligent play, like this one.

So you're ignoring that they're equally good shooters and KAT is better at everything else? Because that's cool, just so it's clear.

And GROD, I see you quoted me. Not even reading what you wrote. Decided it's better to just leave the "foes" feature do it's work.

This severely shortens the amount of time it takes to read the forums as well.

:lol:

I'm glad you quoted him just for that. And I'm not the only one with him on ignore. Maybe logic should be a bigger motivator.

Towns wouldn't have got a 3 he had the lane wide open he would have had a dunk if Westbrook wouldnt had switched to him.

Kat wasnt shooting a 3 he had an easy dunk if Westbrook would have switched on him until Adam's recovered I will take anyone shooting a 3 over Towns with a wide open lane for a dunk.

I didn’t realize Abrines’ foot was on the line for his missed shot. That’s another strike against him in my book. Freaking wake up and know where you need to be.
