Yes, Westbrook can be a bonehead.
Yes, Harden can be a choker.
But I can see Westbrook dialing it back and being more traditional; his aggressiveness will of course be needed at times.
Westbrook is always hungry.
They'll have a chip on their shoulders because of the backlash they both receive.
If Capela is healthy, he can defend the paint and rim like a boss.
I ain't sleeping on them.
they would get raped by the clippers.
pg and kawhi would lock harden and westbrook down.

I think D'Antoni's system will benefit Westbrook and viceversa. I have no idea what Brooks and Donovan were trying to run but they clearly dismissed the idea of surrounding Westbrook/KD with shooters. Look how effective it was to surround KD with shooters in GSW (I know, Klay/Steph) so I believe Westbrook should handle the ball and attack the paint in order to find the open shooters. If he manages to do that effectively, you have a difficult pair to defend because Harden can shoot and pass at the elite level. Westbrook will not improve his shooting % at this point in his career but he can find a way to shoot more efficiently by taking better shots and deferring to harden whenever he can.

Considering how much you actually understand the game of basketball this basically amounts to them having no chance.
