Thunder vs Trail Blazers

The Westbrook show

With Kevin Durant sidelined for the next month or so, the Oklahoma City Thunder are now Russell Westbrook’s team.

That could be either really good news or really bad news.

If you love to seeing teams chuck up shots early in the shot clock and play reckless basketball, then that’s good news. Though, if you have any rooting interest in the Thunder, that scares you to your core.

Should be fun either way.

I’m setting Westbrook’s shot count over/under at 31.5 tonight.

Over.
