"westbrook is so selfish"

lol ok.

Lmao how can a man that average a triple double be selfish. I don't understand that. He moves the ball and sees the floor well. He USED to be selfish not anymore

From bill simmons:
Russ is leaving a body count and doing everything himself. Repeat: everything.
But would you want to play on his team?

Any pickup basketball junkie has dealt with a more annoying, less redeeming version of Westbrook — the ball dominator who passes only when it’s impossible to shoot, but keeps winning because he’s just better than everyone else. You might arrive at the same time as this guy, and he might ask if you want to run with him. Your ensuing split-second decision: “If I say yes, I might get to stay on the court for three hours … but it’s NOT going to be that fun.”

You’re competitive. You say yes. You spend the next two games setting picks, grabbing rebounds and playing defense. (You’re Steven Adams.) You’re definitely getting good exercise. (You’re Andre Roberson.) Every so often, he throws you a pass because he’s triple-teamed; you’re expected to make a wide-open shot even though you’re ice-cold and barely remember what a basketball feels like. (You’re Alex Abrines.) Once in a while, he feels bad and passes you the ball, so you immediately try to create a shot because you never know when you’re getting the ball back again. (You’re Victor Oladipo.) And that’s just how it goes. At some point, you start checking out everyone on the sideline waiting for the next game.

Nobody's not making any shots again. Fucking Powell keeps missing layups. Dude is always out of control.

That was some non-nonchalant shit there.

That's what i've noticed about Ibaka. He's pretty non chalant.

Just checked in and saw the box score. We got to the line 21 times and are down 10 at the half? Strange.

Their bench is so trash, we'll come back y'all

Ibaka sucks now, too? That play where he wouldn't kick it out to the wide open man in the corner, and then forced a dumb turnover trying to find DeMar in the backcourt was flat-out dumbass Raptors basketball.

westbrook is a sight to behold.

OKC got to keep the better player.

The ibaka honeymoon is almost over for me

When his shot isn't falling. He literally doesn't try on defense at all. He's worse than Bebe out there. At least bebe got blocks and steals

It's offensively trash, but at least they held the damn line with every fiber in their body

Bebe is somehow even worse defensively

I don't expect that to happen again

10 min for Carroll, 10 for Powell, 10 for Tucker. Who gets the run in the 2nd half?

Westbrook is not better than durant. Not a chance

[golden]

As soon as we heard Carroll was starting, you knew it was going to be a struggle tonight.

He is.
