Honest question. GOATbrook seems to have taken his game to the next level, with The Servant playing more of a complimentary role.
In all seriousness, Durant does seem to have taken kind of a backseat to NinjaTurtlebrook. Is this just him working his way back into shape, or is this something we can expect in the future?
He's probably working himself back. His attempts have been on the lower side than normal as is his minutes.
That said, I expect KD and Westbrook to have a Shaq/Kobe circa 2003 type relationship going forward, in that both of them will be godlike statistically instead of a hero/sidekick dynamic.
Westbrook has always been the best player on OKC
Welcome to 2011

Then all the hating and criticizing relating to OKC's falures should be directed at him? Got it. I'll let the Bran/Bean stans know.
So far, yeah. Westbrook is playing lead dog, posting MVP type numbers while Durant gets back in his groove. I think it'll change as the season progresses, though.
How f*cking sick is that. Two of the best players in the world, taking turns, shitting on the whole league right now.
Russ is the MVP so far, in my book.

Where have you been? Westbrook has always been the scapegoat.
Do people realize that Kevin Durant had a broken foot that prevented him from running and doing most basketball related activities while he was gone?
It was always going to take him longer to return to pick form than Russell Westbrook. The KD that were used to seeing will return consistently in the next week or two.
Serious question: Is Durant too good of a complimentary player for Westbrook to win MVP or does he have a legit shot?

Stupid post by a stupid poster.
If Westbrook had played all the games in the form he is in, yes he certainly COULD be considered the favourite.
That is not the case.
I think this is the season Durant accepts his role as the beta sidekick
OKC will be a true contendor after Westbrook put Dubeta in his place for good. Truth.

Played 11 games out of their 25, while winning the last 7 since he's been back. :oldlol:
MVP.
Stay mad.
Westbrook helped him win MVP last year so now he's trying to get Westbrook one.

Hopefully it works out better for him than it did for Bran in the 2011 Finals.
