re: Russell Westbrook has finally figured it out. ONE three point attempt in his last 4 gms.

His last 19 games(where I believe he is figuring out to shoot less and less 3s) he has been GREAT.

Averaging 30 points 8.5 rebounds 7.5 assists on about 50% shooting, ~56% TS.

If Harden can put an end to his atrocious shooting performances they might be onto something. When Westbrook is on like this and like he was the other night, Harden has no business missing 16 3s. The game was somewhat close tonight because Harden was 3-13 and 0-6 from 3. At least he picked and chose when to throw up bricks tonight.

If Westbrook can show that he can be trusted to play smart and within the team, Harden really needs to chill tf out with his monster shooting fiascos.

I think Harden has some kind of injury he’s fighting through right now. He seems kind of gimpy and it’s contributing to his shooting woes. He doesn’t like to miss games so it’s likely he’s playing through an injury right now.

If Westbrook continues to play like this and Harden gets healthy and gets his shot back, look out. But their defense still has to improve.
