Can't wait to get to that level of not giving a damn.

Russel Westbrook should just wear a Michael Myers mask.

Russel Westbrook should just wear a Michael Myers mask.

After his coast-to-coast dunk tonight someone on deadspin commented: how can someone who does this shit be the same species as me?

[fallenchicken]

bado Westbrook is scaring me.

Westbrook Ascending.

[Sobchak]

You guys see Chris Paul freak the fuck out on deandre Jordan last night?

[badfo]

At least he didn't let a a scrub go off on him like he did against Philly. Goes under every single screen.

Happy for Russ' individual numbers but not stoked about how bad the offense is going to be in the playoffs. Russ has been individually excellent and he's only doing what he's asked to do, but the Thunder have taken the over-reliance on their star players thing to a new level this season. They don't even know what to do without Russ on the floor anymore.

I fully realize this is pretty close to the most first world problem there is.

Wesley no

I went to the Rockets/Jazz game tonight. I had a churro. It was almost 4 dollars but I didn't care I wanted it. And I watched RUDY GOBERT TEAR SHIT UP.

[badfo]

Meanwhile Enes Kanter had 0 defensive rebounds the other day.

[Sobchak]

More like Can'ter eh

Why dey trade him doe

[badfo]

Trevor Booker instant Jazz HoFer with this quote referring to Kanter.

David Locke ‏@Lockedonsports
"He got his stats and he got the L as always" -- Trevor Booker on post game interview on Jazz radio.

[fallenchicken]

Booker knows how to play to the fanbase. Kanter is funny. I miss him a little bit for entertainment purposes. Hayward is the best shade thrower because he only refers to Kanter as, "a former player."

I like that Kanter brags about having a playoff spot when he got traded to a playoff team midseason and the team dynamic is essentially Westbrook playing out of his head to make up for injuries and Kanter's defense.

I look forward to GS cutting him to pieces in the playoffs.

[Sobchak]

But how was the Kanter-Gobert matchup

[badfo]

OKC fans are pretty much in denial of Kanter being the worst defensive big in the league. He's so bad.

Hopefully OKC doesn't make the playoffs. Don't need extra games for Russ to get injured in.

[fallenchicken]

Yeah. Kanter is elite in the post but... when Trey fucking Burke is getting around you like you're a traffic cone that's going to be a problem. With Ibaka out it's pretty tough... I like Adams but he looks like he needs another season under his belt.

Gobert's defense on Westbrook was actually more impressive. Westbrook actually second guessed himself a few times during the game. I was surprised. Kanter had a decent game... I think 18 points? That's with Westbrook completely freezing out the rest of his team in the 4th. Gobert had 13 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 blocks. So a pretty nice night.
