Watched the game and Westbrook just wasn't defensive enough and both him and Durant took too many silly shots.
Yep, he's too selfish on offense...he forces it too much and is a turnover merchant.
When the Hornets were finding a trade for Chris Paul...they approached OKC about Westbrook for Paul,
should have taken it....imagine Paul on that team wow!

Not surprisingly layers are looking to move Dwight Howard and rondos name has been mentioned. Kobe has backed the trade
They were in talks before Rondo did his ACL, I'm surprised they still pursuing it.
D'Antoni needs an elite PG to even run his system though.
But I see this trade being a long shot at best,
it would be a dumb move by the Lakers.
This is my take...
So not only are they dealing the megastar center for the PG with the busted knee,
they have to take back at least $5M in deals back to make it legal under the CBA.
That means Terry and his remaining $15.5M, Lee and his $22M remaining,
Bass and his $20M remaining, or Jeff Green and his $35M remaining LOL.
Of course vaunted prospect Fab Melo could be included in the deal to sway things back towards the balance in the middle,
but would Danny Ainge be willing to deal such a certain future star.
It all depends on what the Lakers think Howard will do.
If they think he will leave them high and dry they will try and trade him but if they think he wants to stay they won't budge imo.
