    Not a great sign for the season that he cannot stop dislocating fingers. Seems problematic.

    Yes, the Westbrook negativity and the blatant political talk in the GARM is really bumming me out.

    Glad I held out on purchasing the tickets to see them play the wizards. I’ve seen the harden show hundred of times. I’m not really interested in paying $115 to see it live. It Westbrook is goin to play I’ll pay.

    Westbrook had load management last October. Remember?
    You can do the same to him now

    I feel like this should be no big deal but cant help but feel pessimistic. At least it's not a knee or should issue

    Already? It's not new. It's been the norm here to hate Westbrook for many years. Not sure how anyone thought that would change overnight. He's going to have to win a lot of us over. And if he can't that's on him.

    A zillion dollars says the Rockets Harden no Russ lineup +/- is better than Russ +/- all year.

    Except we actually want to win regular season games instead of playing cute with load management like you're a title favorite or something like some teams/coaches...

    Wouldn’t worry too much about it. Russ plays through a lot of stuff.

    It is still early.... let him fix it. Championships are not won in October. They are won in June. If we need him to sit. Then let him sit. Just have to be cautious.

    Why are people so hung up on how inefficient Westbrook is? What's important is for your TEAM to be efficient, offensively and defensively. Jason Kidd struggled to break 40fg% and 50ts% for his career, but he was undoubtedly a winning player,

    Westbrook creates more high efficient 3s and layups for his teammates than almost anyone else in the league.

    Its undeniable that Westbrook is inefficient himself. But it's also a fact that he is a huge net positive for your team. What we don't know for sure is if he has lost a step and whether we are still getting that same Westbrook.

    I just hope it doesn't become the equivalent to the shoulder of Carl... never mind. Bad juju.
