Got a much needed W last night witht he Jazz. went 1-0 for +2 units. YTD 5-9 (-5.75U)
I personally cannot stand Russell Westbrook. I think he is everything you would not want to have on your team if you were looking for a team player. He will NEVER get a ring and no one of high value to get him to a ring will ever want to play with him... for a few reasons. All of these are personal opinions, I won't even get into stats.
1. I may be wrong on this, but I don't believe I have ever heard him say that anything was his fault. For a guy that loves to control the game and his team, he never takes the fault and that is wrong. Even Kobe admitted to letting his team down when the weight was on his shoulders
2. He doesn't have high basketball IQ. He is too self centered. Just when you think he has got the strategy down, like Game 1 of this series, or last year when they fell behind int he playoffs, and things click, he goes back to the Russell Westbrook show. He looks great int he regular season because people just don't care that much, which is awesome for stats. However, look what happens when teams pick up the hustle.
3. This really isn't a reason but more of a fact, look what happens when good players go to the Thunder, and when great players leave the Thunder. I.e. - Durant, Harden, and Oladipo all leaving. They're now super stars. 2/3 either won the MVP or are runner up for MVP. Now look at guys like PG3, I won't say 'Melo because he has sucked since he left the Nugs. Lol. I have never seen PG3 so irritated and physical like yesterday's game.
Anyways, enough of my rant. I truly enjoy fading Westy as you can see.
On to today's plays. Let's keep it rolling. Looking chalky
