I think it's both good and bad for the team at this point ... over dependent sila kay Russel, especially pag closing time na - very predictable na yung offense nila ... mas ok yung role ni Harden ngayon, still scoring but really more on distributing the ball kahit crucial time of the game
Russ is scoring, rebounding and assisting. That is why he's averaging a triple double in 19 games this season.
As Nestor said on Achilles during Trojan War " we dont need to control him, we need to unleash him "
I think that is what OKC coach have in mind and thats to unleash Westbrook and let him take control of the team while opponents fear what damages Westbrook can do against their respective teams.
Same lng nmn role nila ni Harden in their respective teams and probably both teams have the same talents that surround their star players in Harden and Westbrook. Both are exciting to watch. Russ is shorter but is extremely more powerful than Harden in rebounding and attacking the basket though Harden i feel is the better shooter and suave in moves with his eurostep.
So far Russ has the best average in stats 2nd is LBJ and 3rd is Harden.
All games played today Nov 30 seems to be all upsets.
Lahat ng dehado panalo sa laban.
