    Westbrook did Westbrook things. He was inefficient, but was active and piled up some easy rebounds (and some tough ones) while not guarding anyone.

    He honestly didn't play terribly. I know he was inefficient from the field, but there were lots of chemistry issues / guys that weren't ready to receive a Westbrook pass.

    Honestly, as time goes on, these issues will be ironed out and the Wizards are gonna be competing for HCA.

    The wizards o/u for wins is 32. The only thing they’ll probably be competing for is a play in spot in the playoffs.

    HCA. Stop it. If you really think they’ll get a top 4 spot for hca, I’ll gladly tip jar bet it. Easy money

    76ers did not look great.
    This was a classic 1st game I guess.

    Some late game Westbrook defensive mistakes.

    its still really amazing to me how bad Russ is on defense. you cant be amped up at everything and then you're lazy on defense.

    What glory, Paul lost and that trade wasn't what led tem to the Playoffs, it was the haul they got back for George

    Nothing has changed. Just glad he's not a Rocket so I don't have to defend him anymore. He will bring what he brought to OKC. Lots of first round exits and bad decisions when opposing players get in his head.

    Oh, dunno, I think he does pretty well at it in most situations.

    On defense, he cant have the ball in his hands.

    Buddy, they are not taking more than a game from BOS, MIL, MIA, BKL in a 7gm series. Have you seen the rest of the squad???? Bunch of spare parts, nuts and bolts. I've been watching the wiz since Cweb and Howard did their thing, this is the least talented wiz squad in a while. Westbrook gets what he wants, ball in his hand and stat padding triple doubles. He didn't want to complete for a championship and he is ok with that.

    Imagine every loss this season correlating with whether or not Westbrook got a triple double. That would be funny.

    Seems like he looks for them so he can say "I did my part", "We didn't lose because of me". All the while making bad decisions and being inefficient.

    Reading Wizards fans comments about Westbrook right now is really making me feel so much better about the John Wall trade.
