SCOTT BROOKS’ BIGGEST PROBLEM: RUSSELL WESTBROOK

If the Oklahoma City Thunder wants to have a decent chance of salvaging game seven of their Western Conference second round playoff series with the dangerous Memphis Grizzlies, OKC head coach Scott Brooks must control his trigger-happy point guard Russell Westbrook. For the nth time, Westbrook out-shot the Thunder’s top gun Kevin Durant and the bad thing is he misses more than he make shots. In the playoffs, Westbrook is averaging 21 field goal attempts (.411) as compared to Durant’s 19.6 attempts per game (.451). The Thunder could have finished off the Grizzlies in game six but Westbrook’s uncontrollable game contributed to their defeat, 95-83. Westbrook must realized the earlier the better that he is no Chris Paul or Deron Williams yet and as the lead quarterback of the team, he must learn how to set-up good plays for his teammates especially Durant. If things won’t change in game seven, the Thunder can kiss their title-bid goodbye. Then blame it all on Westbrook.
