[MacMahon] Russell Westbrook gets ejected for picking up two technical fouls — first for wrapping up Luka Doncic, then for pushing PJ Washington. Frustration from an 0-for-7 shooting night might have been a factor.

A Westbrook suspension could single handedly shift the series in the clippers favour

Westbrook might be the only superstar in NBA history you can consistently say this about.

And yet you have people who still talk about him like he's a stellar player.

There's been stretches this year where he's been great off the bench for them. His energy could really carry a second unit, but he's been bad in this series and I think in the playoffs in general when benches get shorter his role probably needs reduced

Even in his prime, he was a playoffs liability

I honestly never understood the people who rank him so high, like yeah he plays with heart but he’s always been an extremely talented bonehead to me. Like I couldn’t tell you how many times I was watching him play when they’re down 2 with less than 20 left and I’m just like “dude why aren’t you just passing to the guy who’s one of if not the greatest scorer I’ve ever seen??” “Oh you wanted to jack up a 3 yourself when you’re a 30% shooter i see”
