As soon as the news broke out. As soon as Kevin Durant got injured. Everybody looked at Russell Westbrook and in different ways. Everybody was thinking the same thing. “Welcome to the Russell Westbrook Show”.
But we all know that Russell Westbrook won’t admit it. Would you expect him to? Here’s what he’s said about it all via ESPN.com.
“It’s not about me. It’s about our team. I can’t win games by myself. I can’t do anything by myself,” Westbrook said Monday. “I kind of want to take the attention off me and put it more on the team. Everybody keeps asking what I’m going to do and how I’m going to change. I think it’s more about our team and what we can do.“
“Obviously, we not as great a team without Kevin on the floor,” Westbrook said. “We’re going to be a good team, but without Kevin we’re not where we want to be, obviously. But once he gets back, we’re going to be right back to the team we set out to be.“
I’ll say this. If you have him on your fantasy squad. Enjoy the 28-30 PPG.
As for Oklahoma’s chances. They won’t be as high in terms of wins. The Spurs and Clippers will definitely end up higher than them. Golden State and Portland have legit chances to get the third seed. Maybe higher.
Get ready for another stacked Western Conference.
