    If I'm Morey I tell every FA that you'll get blamed if you go to OKC while Russ gets praised for carrying your scrub ass. I would say the same for LAL, NYK, SAS, etc... all of them (Magic, Dolan, Pop) have that large presence that will make you the bad guy no matter what happens.

    This was a lose-lose for Russ, which shows his thought process and IQ.

    Shuts Rubio down, he plays great and they win ... ok, why don't you play defense like that all the time?
    Or what happened last night... even worse

    just not a winners mentality

    Agreed. So much of WBs problems and hate are self induced. Him and Melo belong with each other; and maybe George too

    One of these on every HS team. If you're his teammate you tell him the qb and rb both think he's a p***y and laugh at him and were trashing him at Fuddruckers last week. Gotta be smart with the idiots.

    Hopefully Russ gets suspended for game 5 and the Thunder go fishing and then they trade him to the Clippers (Lakers don't want him) when he becomes trade eligible next season.

    The ultimate cherry on this saga is if Russ gets suspended game 5, then OKC goes out there and plays team ball and wins it without him. So spicy. This needs to happen.

    On the other hand, it is going to much sweeter watching OKC walk off with the series L if Westbrook is on the floor.

    Westbrook looked real clownish out there.

    Like a ****ing caricature of himself.

    So leaving the bench, no suspension, seems the league and refs are very selective again.

    i feel sorry for the guy, but he has to be responsible for all the blame he is getting, he plays hard but gets criticized doing so, i guess the Coach needs to help him on that regard, but russ needs to realized that he will need people to tell him when he is playing too aggressive or not enough, if he doesn not adjust, they are going fishing real soon

    So far in this series:

    Rubio: 34.5 min | 18.5 Pts | .375 FG% | .308 3PT% | .438 eFG% | 7.8 Rbs | 8.0 Ast | 2.0 Stl | 0.8 Blk | 3.5 TO
    Russ: 37.0 min | 21.3 Pts | .367 FG% | .214 3PT% | .386 eFG% | 11.8 Rbs | 8.3 Ast | 1.8 Stl | 0.0 Blk | 5.3 TO

    Westbrick ain't shuttin' down nobody.
