He's taking the best scorer on the planet (Durant) out of the game.

It's funny. We wouldn't be talking about this if he makes most of shots, and most of 'em were good looks. OKC wants him to be aggressive...that's why they have an explosive shooting guard at the point guard position.

It was mostly his fault on offense he never let the offense run threw durant was always looking for quick off balance shot took to many also never try to see what was heat defense set up.

it was his fault because he has to pass more to the best player in the nba in my opinion kevin durant and has to act more as a point guard.

It's not his fault that the Thunder won't play him as a shooting guard, but it is his fault that he won't act like a point guard.

It wasnt his fault the Tunder loss it was the whole team. Westbrook just had a bad game thats all. Everybody has bad games so y is Westbrook being blamed? I will admit he should of passed more but still he just had a bad game

Westbrook's biggest faults are the efficiency of his scoring and his turnover rate. Not whether or not he gets his teammates involved through assists. The Thunder rely on their big 3 for roughly 70% of their points. That means they need Westbrook to be a big scorer, period. If he could shoot a higher percentage and not turn the ball over so much, then no one could criticize him. Westbrook's just easy to pick on, though, because when Harden has a bad shooting game, no one criticizes him. And the times where Durant's not working as hard to get the ball, and Westbrook has to take it to the rim because the shot clock's running down, he usually ends up taking some kind of wild shot around the rim and draws criticism for it. You can't blame him for realizing he has to do it himself and then trying to draw a foul where he shoots 79% compared to 43% from the field.

He need to get his teammates better shots and he need to take better shots. His stats is deceiving because the pace of the game changes when you down late in the game.

get off the man, he is taking to many shots, but on the flip side how do you think kevin durant is getting all those shots, westbrook is creating in the paint and kicking out to him, if he falls back OKC will lose the next 3 games. if he and KD are not scoring who will? You cant make media happy so why try go out and ball Russell Westbrook, and you will be rewarded!

the point isn't that he doesn't pass the point is he disrupts the flow of the offense by taking some forced and unnecessary shots. when he does that the Thunder can't get consistant offense, he just needs to get his shots within the flow of the offense
