    Here is an article talking about how Westbrook is leaving his man to go after rebounds regularly and he is DEAD last in contested any shot by players who play 30mpg. It goes onto say the only two people to contest less then the 69 3p attempts Russell has this year is Whiteside and Gobert. How he is allowed the highest shooting % from opposing PG's in the league and how his teammates are pretty much letting him get rebounds to pad his stats. The stats aren't updated from when this was originally posted, I think a month ago, but it still holds fairly true.
    Westbrook is amazing and what he is doing is incredible but he is stat padding to try and get those rebounding numbers up to get the triple doubles. I wouldn't vote for him for MVP he is fourth for me but at lot of that has to do with the fact I dont' think his team is championship or even 2nd round worthy and more to do with the fact that the three people ahead of him are doing what they are doing on championship teams

    He didn't yell at me at Subway, just was kinda rude and talked some smack. But I respect that. I too come from the school of smack talk.

    Milwaukee and Miami both won; only two games away from Memphis, our pick might be getting better.
