@Gil Scott-Heroin is right tho....

The narrative of how this game will be shaped is by Westbrook hitting that step back 3 over Hill and him making that transition And-1. That doesn't happen and people are saying he choked this game away.
Although I think there's something to be said about closing in big moments.....what Gil is saying is correct. He played terrible down the stretch until that step back 3.

we won

the jazz are a more talented team and he willed them to a victory. save all that other bullshyt. this team is only as good as it is because of westbrook. he played the same way to get them the lead in the first damn place. if he misses some shots, so be it. whatever he is doing is obviously having a positive impact on the team.

you cant name 5 guys in the league that could have this roster 10 games over .500, especially with all the injuries theyve had.

nikkas acting like the Thunder can sustain a consistent offense without Russ on the court

You clearly didn't watch the game. What got them the lead was OKC going 12/13 from 3 in the first half. That's extremely difficult to overcome.

The bench also played extremely well. They not only didn't give up the 8 point lead in the 3rd, they extended it .It was an 11 point lead when RWB came back in.

Yeah, No one is saying that.

I mean, isn't THAT what counts?!?

That y'all most certainly did. But y'all had a 13-point lead halfway through the 4th quarter; Westbrook brings up his 10th assist and then in the next 9-10 posessions he shoots 1-7, and on most of those posessions he's not even looking to move the ball. The Jazz end up turning a 13-point deficit into a 4-point lead, off the strength of Westbrook's [ill-advised] play. He did have a great run at the end of the game, but all he essentially did was make up for letting the Jazz back in the game.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

man stfu. all you try to do is bash the man who is doing EVERYTHING for this team and its translating into WINS

The irony of @GoddamnyamanProf dappin this after he's argued til he's blue in the face that Westbrook's style of play isn't conducive to winning - for years and years. Such a shameless ass dikkrider.

Yeah, No one is saying that.

Dudes aren't even trying anymore. Ah, I don't know what he's doing out there, but ahh.... the Thunder are winning. I guess that means ahh... he's having a positive impact? *insert rockbrain smilie*
