No point in making the moves the made of players are stashed in Tulsa for 2 years and by the time they are good you have to trade them too. We'd be better off being a 4 seed with players ready to play. Pop gets that. Brooks does not.

Bottom line without Russ this team is done. Especially, with him making KD point guard. Doesn't matter if its this round or next round. Had no idea how this team would look without RW0 but its not pretty.

He'll get absolutely crucified if they miraculously lose this series too considering ESPN doesn't really any compelling stories for casual sports fans. Hope he recovers quickly.

Hope people realize now just how insanely good Russell Westbrook really is though.

Scotty Brooks = Mike Brown.

Lebron James = Lebron James.

David Lee (torn R hip flexor), thought out for playoffs, indeed going to "give it a go" tonight for Warriors, per source. @GoodmanCBS first.
