Russell Westbrook stood in the Houston Rockets’ corral. Did he ever sit down? I haven’t seen him sit all series long.
Truth is, Westbrook is a nervous wreck. Hard enough to ask Westbrook to play second chair to James Harden. I mean, Westbrook is accustomed to dominating the ball whether his teammate is Kevin Durant or Semaj Christon. Westbrook acquiesced for Houston almost an entire season, but no way was it natural.
But now the basketball gods are asking Westbrook to take a chair. To sit and watch in these NBA playoffs as his old best friends try to upset his new best friends.
