Wednesday night, very late edition of the dunked on basketball podcasts,

three games to get to today, starting off with the Houston Rockets overcoming Russell Westbrook's

51 points and 43 shots, 115, 111 over the thunder. Also got to get to a nice victory for the

Wizards as they take it to a 2-0 series lead, despite a Fowl-Mart contest 109, 101 over the Hawks,

and then the Warriors absolutely destroying Portland 110-81 in the nightcap a game that Danny and I

was the main event tonight at a game I wish we'd been able to do Tudor NBA show for just because

of a performance by Russell Westbrook that in some ways doubled down on everything that he has been

in this crazy year in which he will likely win MVP. In the first three quarters, Westbrook had 36 points,

9 rebounds 11 assists on 13 to 25 shooting only one of four from three and then in the fourth

quarter 15 points four of 18 from the field one of seven from three and only two assists as well

which was perhaps even the bigger problem there on only three may baskets by any other guy. Yeah,

yeah, I went back and watched some of Russ's shots here and I thought that the disparity between

the first half and the second half was a huge one and we'll get there's a lot a lot of nuance to

his performance which is surprising to say because you know, he basically just his approach just

seems to be to like batter himself against the castle doors until either falls or he knocks himself

out. But in the first half, I counted him taking two awful shots, although he was also bailed out

on three other awful shots by fouls as he was taking jumpers. In the second half, I counted him

taking one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen terrible shots.
