Man Golden State Warriors just won’t let Russell Westbrook live in peace, will they?

In a article written by Adam Wells of Bleacher Report Zach Lowe of ESPN went on his podcast The Lowe Post podcast and talked about the opinion reigning NBA champions Golden State Warriors have of reigning MVP Russell Westbrook “the Warriors “don’t fear” Westbrook because his “style of play is so easy to defend; it’s like cake to them.”

Also in Wells article for Bleacher Report, he notes how Lowe alludes to Jack McCallum’s Golden Days. “Lowe also noted McCallum’s book notes Durant left the Thunder to sign with the Warriors in July 2016 “partly” because of Westbrook.” Wells wrote in his piece.

Russell Westbrook’s last four performances against the Warriors look like this

Nov 3rd – 20 points 10 assists 6 rebounds

Jan 18th – 27 points 13 assists 15 rebounds

Feb 11th – 47 points 8 assists 11 rebounds

Mar 20th – 15 points 7 assists 8 rebounds

That adds up to Westbrook averaging 27.3 points, 10.0 rebounds and 9.5 assists shooting 37.5% overall against the Golden State Warriors as Adam Wells points out in his Bleacher Report piece. Wells also points out Westbrook had the most turnovers against the Warriors than any other team he faced.

I don’t think we’re taking into account the emotional side of these games for Westbrook or Oklahoma City when we talk about his turnovers against Golden State Westbrook is usually a high turnover player he turned it over 438 times last season.

Against the Warriors, though it’s different they were going against a former teammate in Kevin Durant and for Westbrook that was extremely personal with Durant leaving OKC for the team that knocked you out of the playoffs after being 3-1 up is the team Kevin Durant decided.

I don’t think there is another team in the NBA Russell Westbrook wants to beat more than the Golden State Warriors.
