    Stop being ridiculous. Nobody gets to watch the scrimmages.

    If you were in MENSA, you'd be smart enough to figure out how to watch the scrimmages.

    Westbrook schooled Lillard last night, but, he ran out of gas and also was the benefit of some (not all) seriously questionable calls.

    If I was in MENSA I would be too busy running the country to post on this forum with big hairy wookies.

    Uh, Nate.....you are supposed to post by typing with your fingers. If you are pounding the keyboard with your "big hairy wookies"....you're doing it wrong!

    This thread is moot. Dame didn't even play last night. There was some other guy out on the floor named Damian Lil-lard. He was accompanied by his teammate Damon Leonard.

    I thought it was interesting that Brooks sat Westbrook so much of the 4th quarter when the Blazers were going on their run. I'm sure that he was trying to rest him, but I think that he also knew that Westbrook was taking some really crappy shots and trying to win the game by himself. A lack of basketball skill is not Westbrook's problem...playing team basketball sometimes is.

    To the president of the Russell Westbrook fanclub! The Thunder forum is down the hall 4th door on the left. The one that smells like cow shit. You want Westbrook, that's your turf

    A pity. There might have actually been a meaningful discussion to have about Westbrook ... and then S2 do what S2 do.

    I wonder if the fact that they have a back-2-back tonight played a role in that

    Nah, it's like having a meaningful discussion about Kobe. It's like starting a thread that says, I'll take Lebron please or I'll take Anthony Davis please. These guys are all adversaries to a Blazer championship. What point is there to praise them and start threads about them? What meaning would you take from that? Westbrook is coming off two injury plagued seasons and time will how far he'll take them without Durant but I'm not a fan.

    Out of curiosity, what kind of meaningful discussion would you expect?

    I'll end this. Westbrook is a beast! He's a star and gets star calls. The kind I hope Dame gets more of. Don't understand how people hate on tough aggressive ballers from other teams! Give props where they are deserved please. I don't root for him, but respect his game. Very similar to how I feel about Blake Griffin.

    Not playing him after the Blazers' big run, sure. Not playing him when the game was still a contest, no.

    I agree that Westbrook is a beast, I don't agree that he deserves his own thread on the Blazers forum though, nor Blake Griffin..that's not hatin', that's staking out your territory

    You think this ends this discussion? Ha!

    Nobody is saying that Westbrook isn't ridiculously talented. The gripe most of his detractors have with him is that he isn't a team player. Well, that and all of the flopping he gets away with...but that's on the refs for falling for it.
