  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
Seems too soon, wasn't he injured after Rondo and during the play-offs? They should worry about having him for the play-offs not the regulars season. Bad decision by Westbrook and the Thunder if true.

someone as explosive as Westbrook, I don't think it's a good idea for him to come back so soon

Thunder players, coaches and front office executives all said Westbrook looked great in on-court activities in the days leading up to training camp. But the loose stitch in his knee caused swelling that would not subside until Westbrook underwent the second procedure. Thunder general manager Sam Presti, however, said last month that the second surgery, though pushing back Westbrook’s return date, allowed the team an opportunity to see Westbrook’s meniscus and gain confidence that it had properly healed.

In recent days, Westbrook has participated in Thunder practices, wowing teammates with his performance.

Not all injuries are equal.  He didn't tear his ACL, he just had a minor injury to his meniscus.  If the Thunder were really desperate and managed to progress far enough in the playoffs without him, he could've even returned during the postseason.

looked pretty good.  Thunder are so much better a team with him.  Just opens everything up for KD.
