I hate Westbrook. These announcers are such morons. They're peeing their pants over an NBA punk. "He deserves a half-technical" enough said.
Westbrook is such a legend in his own mind ... if he doesn't grow up soon, he'll self-destruct either on the court or off. His ego is lightyears beyond his abilities, and it's a shame, cuz he's got talent, obviously. Can you imagine him on the same team with Kobe? That wouldn't last long ... Durant is much too nice a guy, cuz he needs to give Westbrook a kick or two, and bring him back down to earth. If Russell doesn't lose the punk, it's gonna eat him alive.
The issue is the bolded plain and simple in my opinion. He's talented and young, but It is clear as day that he's too nice, humble and can be a pushover. Russell is not as talented as Durant, but you can just see it in his pores that he wants to lead the team. Durant maybe young, but he needs to grow a back bone and tell him in private, "its my team and I run this show not you." It may sound mean, but he needs to tell him the truth. OKC don't know who their leader is at all one day it's Perk the next it's Westbrook and while all of this is happening Durant is sitting there being mr. Nice guy and wanting everyone to get along.
Yup. Kevin needs to step up and be the leader of this team ... on and off the court, otherwise this back-and-forth confusion will give them no direction whatsoever, (which is what they're lacking). They can be one of the great teams of the future, but KD needs to be the man.
