If Russell Westbrook plays like he's never going to get the call his entire career...

I dont understand how these "professionals" can criticize his game...call him the "worse" PG in NBA finals for the first 3 games

and then come back in game 4 after he scores 40 and take everything back

u cant have it both ways...so because he goes off tonight...that gives him the green light to shoot 25 times the rest of the series? u cant have it both ways where when hes hot its ok, but when he isnt, hes terrible

those professionals are employees for a company that thrives off hyperbole.

But he did 95% of the lifting making it a game.

His team should have carried the other 5%.

Not disagreeing. But saying since he did so much absolves him from that gaffe doesn't make sense. He needs to know the situation. (probably wouldnt have mattered though. Still needed a quick stop and a 3)

I say it makes sense considering there wouldn't have been a moment to fukk up if he didn't carry them there.

So I guess Webber shouldn't have been blamed either then.

Webber didn't have a Westbrook like game. NOPE!! HE did NOT. You're only looking at the endings being similar.

A knock on PGs like that is that they should be creating contact + finishing to get to the FT line though (i.e. Rose).

Webber carried that Michigan team. Cmon.

Absolving Westbrook of not knowing the situation because he had an awesome game just makes no sense. There's zero correlation.

I tied Westbrooks GAME 4 PERFORMANCE to absolving him of fault at the end.

Webber did not HAVE A FINAL GAME PERFORMANCE like Westbrook to absolve him from fault at the end.

Mastermind got it. Why aren't you?

Why does a great physical performance absolve a mental gaffe? Makes absolutely zero sense.

Webber had a pretty good game himself as well.

bad calls..refs should of let them play


And two of those poor calls took layups off the board for Miami...so hard to say they really changed the game significantly. Beyond the foul count obviously.

It makes sense to me because his teammates should have made up for it.

Harden missing open shots to me is more of a failure than that gaffe.

He hits three of them, and it's a different game.

I absolve Westbrook from fault because he did most of the heavy lifting and his teammates didn't share the load. Isolating the game to one gaffe is retarded. He is absolved of fault. The game should not have come down to his one gaffe in light of what he did offesively. You just can't see that light.
