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

Over that span, he's averaging 35 pts, 9.3 assists, and 10.5 rebounds with a TS% of 62.4%

He's taking it to the rack like crazy and not settling for jumpers.

I never thought I'd see a very efficient Russell Westbrook, but his shot selection has been superb recently. He dropped 45 pts and 10 assists tonight on 27 shots. 59% FG%, 69% TS%.

Did Morey teach him the impossible? Show him data where he was most efficient and give the best chance of winning

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.

I dunno man, try beating the Grizzlies and Thunder before you set your sights on a title. Baby steps first.

I could see it.

For those who value this, Harden’s will to play as many games as possible is underrated.

And when his shot is on, I don’t even think he needs Westbrook to win games. He just that good sometimes. I agree that if they can figure out the best way to play with each other, watch out.

Harden have no motivation to beat those kinda teams. He is top 10 all time reg season player. He can’t do nothing else in reg season to better his legacy. He saving bullets to make lebron cry that he need more help come May.

Saving bullets?

He’s 23 for 103 in his last 9

That is literary wasting bullets on errant shots.

That’s 22% on 11.4 3’s per game

Let’s be honest. He was due for a slump. Otherwise he was on pace to smush any attempt at an argument for a better season. No one was ready for that.
