The Thunder do not win more when Westbrook pads his stats.
Westbrook is padding his stats EVERY DAMN GAME.
He only makes the triple-double in wins because those are the games where the opposition misses enough shots to get his boards and his teammates hit enough shots to get his assists. But the fact that they win has nothing to do with whether he was trying to stat-pad or not - he's just about ALWAYS trying to stat pad. Ya'all got cause and effect totally confused.
Something no Westbrook stan has ever been able to explain to me - if the Thunder really win more when he pads his stats, then why doesn't he pad his stats every game so they can be a 60-win team? Is he just lazy?
