Russell Westbrook:

It was a short, but rough week for Brodie and the Thunder. They lost both games that they played, and Russ struggled, for his standards anyway. Despite averaging 25 points per game (PPG), Russ’s shot abandoned him this week as he shot 35% from the field and 23% from deep. He also had trouble taking care of the ball, as he averaged 7 turnovers against 8.5 assists, and he still had 10 rebounds a night. Bottom line: this is his list for a reason, and I’m not about to snub him again.

Keep doing you, Russ.

Kevin Durant:

I’ll make this quick since we hear enough about the Death Star Lineup literally everywhere else. The Warriors steamrolled their way to a 4-0 week, and former Thunder Buddy Kevin Durant was one of the main reasons why. KD led the league with an absurd +28 behind 27 PPG, 8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, only 1.3 turnovers, 1.8 steals, and 2.5 blocks in a hair over 31 minutes a game. Moreover, he shot 62% from the field, 45.8% from deep, and 86.4% from the stripe.

Golden State is like playing 2K on Rookie. With cheat codes.
