The Thunder have lost a couple games and they always blame Westbrook. Why is he taking so many shots? they say.
Give the ball to Durant. they say. his turnovers were not good but they are talking about his shot attempts.
Westbrook took 23 shots to Durants 21 yesterday. ESPN is blasting him for taking too many shots.
9-23 fg . missed layups/tip shots (7). he was trying to get the ball to the hole.
Westbrook, in the 1st quarter, was 5-7. Was that too many shots?
At halftime he had 18 pts with 12 fg att. Was that too many shots?
He only took 3 shots in the 3rd qtr (2 to the hole)
Westbrook took 8 shots in the 4th (he made only 2). he did score 9 points though with his ft's.
And lastly, in the 4th qtr, when Westbrook shot the ball, the Thunder were down by at least 9 points each time he shot.
He had 20 points thru 3 qtrs 7-15 fg 6-7 ft.
Being down the whole 4th qtr, and shooting well the whole game, how can u blame him for taking too many shots and losing this game.
I wonder if these guys even watch the games. Or at least study the boxscore or shot charts.
