They were dancing in game 1, should'a kept the same energy when they're losing.

Really hope Dallas doesn't bite.

Just ignore his antics.

He may be trying to get players ejected like he does to fans that say mean stuff.

And he's playing recklessly. Really hope he doesn't injure anyone and end the Mavs run. Dallas can't afford the loss of anyone.

Always sad to see these guys who are clearly past it, but can’t accept the fact.

I get the frustration..it just does not help their teams one iota when backs are against the wall and players need to stand up.

LOL, I was saying this back when he was still a superstar.

The guy has one of the worst passive-aggressive personalities I've seen of any pro athlete. The "I'm ignoring all the noise and keeping to myself while actually acting like a grade A douche" attitude.

The funny part is, he thinks it's fans calling him, "Westbrick," that reflects poorly on his family :crazy:
Nah, bro. It's you acting like a clown :lol:

Nice to see someone give a crap from the Clippers side even if Westbrook was dreadful performance wise. A little more heart from rest of the roster and they can get back on track.


Difference between playing with heart and playing recklessly.

Shameful.

Again, that's how Westbrook has played throughout his whole career. It's made him who he is (the good and the bad).

The foul on Doncic and the earlier flagrant aside...

It's kind of funny how you shove a guy, then get shoved in a very similar manner, and then completely freak out as if someone did something awful to you. Doesn't really add up from a "treat others like you would be treated" point of view.

I used to appreciate Westbrook for what he was but he's really starting to make a clown out of himself, sadly.

I don't recall him being reckless defensively to the point of risking injuries to players.

Seems like a new thing after falling off offensively.

True, but he was looking to take some Mavs players with him. Probably hoped Luka or someone would lose his temper and get suspended too. Reminds me of Llull and Punter. Mavs showed how you handle that kind of nonsense.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Hes an absolute goon these days.

Sooner his over inflated ego is out of the league, the better.

Westbrook is not a NBA quality player. He is way too inefficient and turnover prone to play any meaningful minutes at this point

I'm not really following Mavs forums/twitter, so I could only guess PJ Washington quickly became a fans favorite with his play from day 1 after the trade, especially with his defense so far in the postseason.
You watch the game and he's so over the place, feels like he's the 3rd most important player on the team, and almost nothing of that is shown in the boxscore

Westbrook was an all nba player and mvp based on his athleticism and his mindset to out physical his opponent emotionally. He hasnt adjusted the way he plays, but hes lost the athleticism. He thought he was gonna block that shot, and he was 2 feet away from the ball hitting Green in the face. 10 years ago, thats a block.

He was never a great player. He's a pos who would rather get 30 points 15 assists and 12 rebounds in a loss then contribute 10 points 5 assists and 5 rebounds in a win. He's a Stat padder who steals his own teams rebounds and good lord I've never seen a player make assists look so damn selfish. He's a selfish loser and always has been the only difference now is he is getting older and his elite athleticism is declining.

I think some nba coaches have (Please Use More Appropriate Word) level IQ. How can a player so bad as westbrook still get lot of playing time while a players like Isiah Thomas who can score doesn't get more than 5 minutes a game ?
