Thunder are down 3-1 to the Rockets and won't get out of the first round, but ain't nobody got time for that!
Russell Westbrook is taking 30 shots per game while shooting 36%, taking 8 threes a game at a 21% clip, and averaging six turnovers averaging 35 ppg and a triple double in the postseason too!
Not only did Russell have a phenomenal night on the court tonight, but he swatted away a pesky reporter's question before Steven Adams had a chance to answer it, and he told the pesky reporter how to write his story, right on down to the way he should phrase sentences referencing the team. What a guy.
That man is incredible! Triple doubles are sort of like wins, right? So what's Russ gonna do in the second round? Maybe he'll score 60 points while getting a triple double, or maybe a quadruple double! The Thunder are going all the way to the NBA Finals, and no one -- not Steph Curry, not Kahwi Leonard -- can triple double like he can.

He is a special person especially when he does get those quadruple doubles if you include turnovers.

He cant get out of the first round.
That's something he can't do.

Sure he gets assists, but he's still not going to be drawing any talent to play alongside him in OKC. He's out of control by the 4th quarters of games and when it's close, he keeps trying to will his way to points from all over the frontcourt.

He's out of control by the 4th quarters of games and when it's close, he keeps trying to will his way to points from all over the frontcourt. He gets assists because he get doubled and triple teamed the whole time, and if assists weren't a stat that was kept, he'd never pass the ball. He's Melo 2.0...no big names will go to OKC to play with that clown.

His fourth quarter performances this series were abominable.<br><br>And it's true, what kind of offensive talent in their right mind is going to sign with OKC when Westbrook operates the way he does?<br>

He's Melo 2.0...no big names will go to OKC to play with that clown. I agree, I dont see any big stars wanting to go. He RAN OFF Durant, and I used to think Durant was the 2nd best player in the NBA, now, idk, I still think top 10, but regardless, Durant said deuces. Honestly, idk whod play with him. A lot of his rebounds were jokes, you know how many times I saw a PF-C on his team literally put both hands in the air so he got "his." IDK why they did it either, I hope he gave them a nice tip, because all it did was f*k up their stats so Russell got "his" stats. It was some BS tbqh. Dont get me wrong, he is good, he is a superstar, but he is selfish. He puts up too many shots, game 3 was probably the best game, because he didnt take 40+ shots and gave his team mates a shot. Half the time theyre standing there just watching Russ do his thing. IDK who will wanna go to OKC. His best bet his "roleplayers." The JJ Reddicks, Kyle Korvers, David Wests etc of the world.

Yep: he can't win much without Durant or some other talent yet to be added.
