    He played at a very high level for most of the game. I feel he pushed himself extremely hard. The Team "OKC Thunder" lost the game not just Russel Westbrook. You have to be able to see the guy played very well for much of the game right?
    My point is. Will his knees and the rest of his body take this kind of beating for 6 weeks and still produce?

    Nope. A high level would be working in the first three quarters to get your teammates going, making them better, and then turning it on when necessary in the 4th quarter to WIN. Going all out one on one for three quarters and then choking in the fourth quarter is the work of an amateur.

    Ok. So now a player that is a 3 time All-Star and a Player that has had 12 triple doubles in the NBA (not the OSAA mind you) in which his team won every one of those 12 games. Has played in 64 Playoff games and has had and in 4 of those he had Triple doubles. Has been to the Finals and beat the Spurs in the conference finals is an AMATEUR?
    You are making yourself look foolish here. The dude can play the game at a very high level. No matter what your personal beliefs are. It seems you are letting your emotions cloud your intelligence.

    Well I'm sure we get to see who's better since Durant lead OKC did well during Westbrook's absence.

    And those achievements you mentioned weren't because of Westbrook, it was because of Durant and how clutch he is in the 4th.

    You got a point there. It is a team game but to say Durant gave him his triple doubles and call him an amateur is a bit of a stretch.

    Westbrook is an amazing talent. There is no argument there. But he is a mental midget and will be exposed during Durant's absence. I wouldn't be surprised if his team is a sub .500 team the next 6 weeks.

    It's very easy to get Westbrook out of the game. You can easily get into his head.

    Could not agree with you more! That is almost exactly what i was saying in my first comment. when i said how about we return in about 20 games and see what we have?
    This is my point exactly.

    Yeah rather have a guy that just walks to the locker room in the middle of the game, then accosts a fan?

    Yeah sounds like a winner

    There you go. Thunder looked much better without Westbrook tonight. Only lost by 3. With Westbrook, we blew them out.

    I don't think Westbrook has met Perry Jones yet.
