Westbrook certainly played slightly more efficient compared to last year with the Lakers coming off the bench, but he wasn't playing well at all. There's a reason why Laker fans bemoaned his existence every game. The dude just doesn't make winning plays.
The upside for the Clips is that they just didn't have a point guard at all. Westbrook, for all of his faults, does generate open looks for guys. The game for the Clips imo now becomes can they beat a playoff team despite Westbrook throwing away 10 possessions a game? They certainly have the talent to do so.
