re: Durant has his 4th 45+ Point Game of the month of January Tonight

Does it worry you that come the last 10 seconds of the game, RW often has the ball in his hands instead of Durant? I know it would bother me, but I know RW has been clutch before as well

I'd want the ball in Durant's hands. But I'm not opposed to having Westbrook facilitate a play.

A lot of that talk stemmed from a couple of seasons ago, against San Antonio maybe? I can't recall. But a lot of the issues there was Durant's inability to get open. There were plays clearly designed to get him the ball, but he couldn't get open, and Westbrook had to improvise, then got blamed by lots of folks on this board for ball hogging in the final minutes of games.

I think the Thunder are just fine late in games. I think those issues are behind them, but they just need to find ways to make sure the ball is in Durant's hands in most instances.

Over his past five games, he's averaging 40.6 points on 59.0 percent from the field and 84.5 percent from the line to go with 3.2 three-pointers, 4.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.4 steals.
