Westbrook Can’t Beat Warriors by Himself in 111-107 Loss

Some of the Thunder fans were still booing Kevin Durant last night in a 111-107 home loss to the Golden State Warriors. Shame on every one of them. Seriously.

This was a night when some booing might have been in order, but if a person sitting inside of the Peake was going to boo their boos should have been directed at various Thunder players or a head coach or maybe even a general manager.

But to continue to boo Kevin Durant is beyond stupid because every time you watch this Thunder team play another game this season it validates Durant’s decision to leave OKC as fairly smart from a basketball standpoint.

In a regular season of NBA play in Oklahoma City marked by massive underachievement, this game may stand upon others as a prime example of a franchise which has itself viewed as being much, much better than it is from multiple standpoints.

Who would I have booed first if I were actually in attendance last night?

I would have booed Billy Donovan first for being stupid enough to allow Carmelo Anthony to have 36 minutes of playing time on a night in which he couldn’t have hit the Pacific Ocean if he were standing next to it.

I then would have booed Carmelo Anthony for not being a stand up guy on this team long ago and having helped Billy Donovan understand his role on this team should be much smaller.

I would have booed Paul George for playing like he was already back in Los Angeles in this game and in essence leaving Russell Westbrook by himself to keep this game as remarkably close as it was.

On a night where Golden State didn’t have Steph Curry, Iguodala, or Shawn Livingston—Sam Presti’s two big pickups from this summer went a combined 9-35 from the field and a combined 3-18 shooting threes. Carmelo was especially feeble in going 0-9 from distance.

What’s next for Sam Presti? Maybe trading Westbrook for Ginobli and Tony Parker this summer?

But I’m not going to boo Russell Westbrook. Because Westbrook played his ass off on a night when in reality you might have to say Alex Abrines of all people might have been the Thunder’s second best player on the floor.

I’ve never booed Durant and I will never boo Russell Westbrook. Period.

So some of you dumbasses who attend games at the Peake and who probably never followed the NBA much at all previous pre-Hurricane Katrina need to rise above your limited NBA exposure and smarten up NBA wise.

Because if you’re going to boo at least be smart enough to boo the appropriate parties.

As I wrote yesterday before the game it doesn’t matter where the Thunder end up seeding wise because they’ll beat themselves eventually, but it’s extremely unlikely they will beat a viable playoff contender four times in a two week period.
