"We've discussed it with the announcer and let him know that". Although James Harden, LeBron James, Anthony Davis and others have received most of the attention regarding this year's MVP award, Westbrook's numbers have been unbelievable yet again. He was 5-of-5 from 3-point range to help the Thunder take a 77-57 lead into the break.
Westbrook didn't want the eighth seed.
Late in the second quarter, Westbrook jumped in the air and delivered a fantastic pass to Thunder shooting guard Terrance Ferguson, who knocked down a corner 3-pointer.
The moment came when he nabbed his 16th rebound of the game in the third quarter. He had 12 assists and 11 rebounds, yet only scored one point and took two shots.
"I thought we did a great job of not falling into just being complacent". On Wednesday, as Westbrook addressed the crowd after averaging a triple-double for the second straight year, Collison received a shoutout from his mercurial teammate.

Robertson, for comparison, averaged 30.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 10.6 assists over the first five years (384 games) of his career. "The stuff he does is incredible, I've seen a lot from him, and I want to really appreciate how good of a player he is and the production he's had these last two years". "He's using a term that simply means 'damn.' And yes I'm not saying it's okay I'm just saying he didn't mean anything by it". While it might be tempting to goof on Westbrook for shamelessly chasing the specific numbers he needed tonight, any concerns about stat-padding should be easily swiped away.
When LeBron James took the floor for Cleveland against NY on Wednesday night, it represented a first for the four-time MVP - this is the first of his 15 seasons in which he's played in every regular-season game. I think the mob rule mentality after mistakes is one of the worst things about America. Thunder coach Billy Donovan said Brewer will undergo further evaluation Thursday. I come out and play, and I get the ball faster than someone else gets to it.
