I’ve tried different bball forums over the years but those LBJ v MJ v Kobe threads are like the Carlos v Mertz threads on roids. They generally don’t have the pub rule so descend pretty quickly.

What's going on with Westbrook? I don't read up on the NBA too much (if anyone can point me towards a good site it would be appreciated) , but I have noticed Westbrook has not been scoring as high as he has in the past. Change in attitude from him (happy for George and others to take the reigns)? Out of form scoring wise? Deliberate change in team tactics? All of the above?

ESPN reckon he's sharing with PG

Sitting in my office "working" with the Spurs v Nuggets game playing on my phone. Quality game, 55-53 at the half.
Torrey Craig looks like an NBA player now, playing good defense on DeRozan, and jagged a sweet 3 before as well.
Anyone else watch yesterday's games? Celtics v Sixers was awesome. Went to OT before Kyrie hit two clutch 3s. He's a complete stud when the game is on the line.
Then the Lakers just smashed the Warriors. Warriors have a few issues, but i still reckon their biggest one is boredom waiting for the playoffs to start.

PG is the best scorer at OKC. Add to that the improved play of Adams and Grant at the offensive end. Dennis Schroder is also a 15-20 points every night and the scoring is far more balanced with Westbrook not having to create as much for his own shot.
Westbrook will probably average another triple double and win more games than last season.

@ACT-Crusader yip. this is almost the Russell we need but still have him trying to win games on crazy off balance shots. I will hold out hope eventually hes the complete PG we need.

Commentators are wondering if will be able to keep it up during the playoffs or if his old habits will come back and he tries to do it all himself.

just quietly, the Spurs are on a bit of a run. since the start of December they are 12-6. In that time they have beaten Portland, the Lakers, 76ers, Nuggets, Celtics, Clippers, and today the Raptors. Dragged themselves up to 7th.

Classy Spurs fans booing a guy who won Finals MVP as a Spur.....meanwhile also returning to San Antonio Danny Green in 26 minutes on the court had 0 points....
The video tribute was good. The fans don’t know the whole story but given the perception is that Leonard “wouldn’t talk” then the booing was to be expected.
The wierdest booing of the season was yesterday when the Laker fans were booing Paul George. That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

@ACT-Crusader really? In their eyes he snubbed his hometown team. Not that I agree with it but given the American sporting public penchant for dramatics and media fueling his potential signing with the Lakers in the off season this is pretty typical.

As he said post game, he’s not the first kid from Southern Cal that hasn’t played for the Lakers. He won’t be the last.
As was shown today, PG made the right choice to stay with the Thunder. He’s getting his and the team is second in the West.
-
@ACT-Crusader I don't disagree with that kids from LA etc. But the fact that this is the most high profile Lakers season and preseason in recent memory you can understand there was a bit more of a spotlight on PG to "come home".
