Exactly. I personally think Westbrook is capable of having the ball in his hands in late game situations. He has improved a ton since last year. It’s just the fact that he also plays with Kevin Durant who has proven himself many times in late game situations, so of course it’d be logical to get him the ball. But i’m comfortable with Westbrook taking the shot.

I hope Skip is just being provocative; he’s starting to become a parody of himself. The stats don’t back him up. It might become a problem in the playoffs if Westbrook’s shot selection regresses, but KD shooting less than Westbrook is working for now. http://theresastatforthat.blogspot.com/2012/04/nba-does-russell-westbrook-really-need.html
