Nah Clippers are toast. I don't even think that's gonna be a game Friday, Utah blows them out, and then the entire team should get blown up immediately afterwards.
Absolutely classless move (once again) by Westbrook.
Storms off the court without shaking the Rocket's hands, while his teammates graciously hug and congratulate the Rocket's.
While I respect his unreal drive and determination, I despise Russell's lack of class.
Everyone is different.
After beating on each other for the last week and a half, I totally understand not shaking hands while leaving the court. He can do that after he showers and changes. Some people just need a minute... it's OK.
Westbrook is a great player, who plays all out. His 4th quarter performances indicate he is worn out late in games. He does need more help, but would he defer to other players, especially down the stretch? I don't see any star players wanting to join him in OKC, because they won't get the ball much. He has a lot of assists because he always has the ball. Also, I doubt he has many assists in 4th quarters of games.

Sorry that excuse doesn't cut it.
Why did Durant shake the hands of the Warriors last year while Russell did not, after a bitter series lost in game 7?
Westbrook is just not a very nice person. Sportsmanship is sportsmanship. Period.

Yeah, he HAD help but he ran the guy off because he's all about RW and not about team.
He needs to mature.
Not taking anything away from his on-court, he's top 3 in the league imo.
He needs to mature. I stand by my prediction 3 years ago, (while it will never be proven) that OKC would win a championship if they (Durant & Westbrook) stayed together.
Westbrook drove off Durant.
He may very well go down as the most talented player to never win a championship at this rate.
NBA history is full of talented players who weren't winners. Westbrook fits into a special category: talented players who don't play winning basketball. Increasingly over their pairing in OKC, there was too much Westbrook offense.

This show is not what it used to be
I think Barkley is the only dumb one on the show, but he is also the most entertaining.

Hayward is a very good player. I don't think you can be a contender with Hayward as your best player.

They should get blown up (they should have been before the trade deadline), but will they?

I think a better measure is ORtg & DRtg. Harden's are 114 & 106, Westbrook's are 106 & 110.

The Thunder have a much better roster than people give them credit for. They just have an inefficient offense.

I think Westbrook gets too much credit for putting up numbers. I don't think he's a top 3 PG in the NBA today.

Why? Because they are different people.
Does it matter that you see the handshake or not on TV? Can it not take place after an hour or two?

They had Durant, Harden, and Ibaka. What happened? Need to look at ownership as well.
