  He can't coexist with another superstar because he was with a super star for 5 years and they never won anything. And then that superstar left lol.
  
  Sure they almost beat the warriors. But they didn't. And then a few months later Durant left, and now the two don't speak to each other.

He wants to be Jordan and jack up 30+ shots a game (he had 43 damn shots last night). Durant is easily the second best player in the NBA, but Westbrook treated it like he was the best player on that team, and I think Durant didn't like that.

  Interesting psyche analysis.

  Yeah, he wants to "be the man" but will never win anything since he chased "Baby" Durrant out of town. I think he should go to Miami and team up with some superstars and "learn how win". Then come back to OKC. Miami has a much better fashion world, which seems to be his main interest. Easier to "piss down your leg" in the 4th there when everyone is at the beach.

  This site tracked down 62 people with MVP votes and determined RW will win the MVP.
  

  Through a hard count of the NBA MVP votes the first place tally of votes has Westbrook in the lead:
  
  Westbrook: 39 first place votes
  
  
  Harden: 18 first place votes
  
  
  Leonard: 3 first place votes
  
  
  James: 2 first place votes

  He had a historic season so I understand. Lebron is still my MVP choice.

  Rondo out indefinitely with a fractured thumb. The break Boston needed.

  Fucking ridiculous. Boston has no business winning that series, or any series in the eastern conference.

  The lack of votes for Giannis is crazy to me. First player in history to finish in the top 20 in 5 categories.

  I'd rather play Boston than the Bulls.

  Does it really matter? Neither team is coming out of the East.

  He's a good player and probably the future of the NBA after LBJ but I don't think he belongs in the MVP discussion this year.

  Thunder up at half but shooting 62%.....so we all know how this one will end.
• Ironman92

  

  Harden gonna get 20 ft again tonight it looks
• Ironman92

  

  I hate that he's given 3 foul shots on that shit. He wasn't shooting, got bumped, threw it up....3 foul shots

  Russ's teammates bailing him out tonight

  How so?
• Ironman92

  

  I don't like the foul there. WTF? Took 1.5 seconds off clock? Fucking stupid.
• Ironman92

  

  So damn dumb.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Good idea, but should have waited longer before actually fouling
• Ironman92

  

  Can't believe Harden didn't got the hole
• SportsAndLady

  

  Russ wanted no part of that interview
