    They should update the graph with the game yesterday. Rockets are back to being #1 offense now, #4 all time.

    Skip Bayless would slap his own grandmother in the mouth for $15.

    SAD!

    P.S. SI seems to be pulling for Harden. ESPN is leaning Westbrook.

    Awesome article, even more proof. If they don't give it to Harden, it would be a much worse travesty than 2015 and probably one of the worst in NBA history.

    solid article--except #3. Leave that out entirely...makes the argument stronger and gives less for people to criticize.

    Westbrook has had two seasons over 23ppg

    2015- (when Durant broke foot)
    Usage rate 38%. Second highest in league history (Kobe 2006, 35ppg!)
    28ppg. 53%TS

    2017- USG 41%. NBA Record.
    32ppg. 55%TS

    Every other year he's had around
    33% Usage. 23ppg. 54%TS

    WB also consistently had a higher USG% than Durant. Who was always far better in PPG and shooting %

    I haven't quite figured out how this fits into the media conspiracy - YET - but rest assured, it is part of the conspiracy.

    CONCLUSION: INCONCLUSIVE
    CONSPIRACY: NOT YET LOGGED
