Westbrook may look like one of the best scorers
in the league often when his drive ends up with an athletic layup instead of a 10 foot clang it ends up with the over half the time but ball stats don’t lie. He is a below average shooter and an average scorer, on average.

Yes, the Oklahoma Texas thing is embarrassing, its sooo small minded. There’s two other NBA teams in Texas.

[...] Love this note from Darnell Mayberry: “Expect a lot of the national talking heads to say this is the way Westbrook needs to play. Do yourselves a favor and ignore them. No way Westbrook needs to take just 12 shots and try to get 14 assists every night. Should he look for his teammates more? No question. But he’s one of the best scorers in the league and, on this team, he needs to score. Period.” [...]

I also agree that the “Oklahoma Texas” rivalry meme is just lame. Tell your co-workers they’d be better off finding something else to write about Darnell.

I agree Darnell. Oklahoma elevate the discussion beyond college football. These players are from all over the country and world. This is the NBA, geez.

I agree with Darnell’s Texas-Oklahoma comment. Let’s leave that for the college game where it is very special. In the NBA it’s all about the players, the team and the City and I like it that way. The Thunder puts OKC in the National conversation, and that something the City has never had before.

@Peter
More like a nightmare. Presti had to trade Green to get him out of the starting lineup. The Thunder already has Collison signed and playing backup power forward. Why change something that’s working for something that didn’t?

Great series. Disappointed that Ibaka wasn’t a bigger factor. How much did his health factor into that? I realize the matchups were bad, but it seemed like he wasn’t totally himself out there. And here’s hoping Thabo has a better series vs Dallas. Would love to see him be brought off the bench to match up with Terry more, but I just don’t see that happening. The one thing these playoffs have shown is just how good OKC will be next year, with Harden in the starting 5, Perk healthy, and another year od development from KD/Russ/Ibaka… Now, if only they could pick up Green on the cheap to replace their bench scoring… Wouldn’t that be a dream scenario??
