In his last 7 games...

FG: 32/99(32.3%)
3pt: 5/29(17%)

He was awesome in the OT against the Knicks, but that Memphis performance feels like a year ago.

2-16 think in a game we won by 1 point.

Give those shots to Walker or someone else
That's 12%.




Possibly the worst touch in league history, rather see Kwame out there again trying to gather at the rim.

He's legit putting up G-League numbers, as in the type of numbers that would get your ass sent down there.

Darvin Ham said it was a “no-brainer” to close the game with Russell Westbrook because of Westbrook’s defense, particularly his ability to switch onto bigger players.


No chance

My only hope is he improves after the trade deadline for another team.

Ham is the problem...first few times its on to the player...once it becomes a pattern and not fixed it's on the coach.

WB is a competitor, he thinks he is gonna make every pass and make every shot. It's up to the coach to limit the ineffectiveness of Russ.

24 minutes a game and benched at the next game stoppage once the clock hits 3 minutes at the end of any quarter, especially the 4th. That will eliminate 5 missed shots and 2 turnovers...sure it will result in one less assist and one less rebound and perhaps 2 less points but it should net at least 5 more points per game for the team....would have been good enough perhaps for the 3rd seed in the west with wins against give-away games to Sact and others.

The lane is clogged with AD back. He's not getting clean looks at the rim any more. That was the reason Westbrook played better when AD was out. You can't fit a square peg in a round hole

If you look at Westbrook's advanced stats, they are not just bad... they are horrendous. We are going nowhere with him. His value over replacement even as a backup is extremely low. We have zero shot at doing anything with him on the team. It just does not work.

Agreed. I blame Ham.

He should know all this. Maybe he does and still doesn’t give a (bleep)…until his job is on the line.

“No-brainer”. About how I would describe the decision as well.

Kyrie way up in top left. Making a high percentage on difficult looks.

It actually same with Bron, without AD, he was getting open lane to the basket, but with AD clogging the paint, it is getting hard for him, that's why a sudden decrease in his production lately. He averaging 35+ after his bday but decline since ad return. But I will trade that to the offense/defense that AD can bring.

He has to shoot them, his man drops down so much, I actually hates it when he passes those open shots, I mean the paint is already packed on his side, shoot them

There is nothing he can do to fix this. He is just unplayable in todays NBA. It happens. You can't ask a Dinosour to use a computer.

He is already taking 4 Threes per game. That is an insane amount of 3s for a guy that shoots them close to 25%.

If his name was not Westbrook would he get any playing time based on his performance? This is favorism.


Same thing with Dennis, yeah he has speed and it looks nice..but why do you think Boston let him go? He has ALWAYS been inneficient. Except that one year in OKC.

Kyrie and Westbrook are on opposite ends of that graph.
