I didn’t watch the game, but it appears Westbrook got some revenge last night.  I have never been a big Westbrook fan, but it looks like he was pretty good in that series.

Looks like game 7 harden appeared again.  7 points.  Woof.  He is no longer a superstar, but is there another superstar or former superstar who comes up smaller in big moments?

In game 7 vs the warriors and Rockers, we will see if the Warriors big game experience shines through or if they have been beaten down and can’t get to that final gear.  What a series by Adams. I really thought he was done as a productive player.  He was until later in the year.  He has been awesome just causing all sorts of issues for the smaller warriors.  What a nice signing/trade that was for the Rockets.  Certainly better than signing Powell from a few seasons ago.

Westbrook fits better with Denver than any of his previous teams. He's been great for them, and they accept the blown layups and occasional turnovers he'll make, because his motor never shuts down even at 36. He's even improved his 3 pt shooting Eventually, he will make a play that helps you win. He's also developed a nice chemistry with Jokic playing off each other. You could see he was highly satisfied, that he helped knock off the team that gave up on him. I think Russ is a 1st ballot HOFamer that has been unfairly scrutinized.
