After all, it s just a basic salary player! Will there definitely be problems if the Nuggets give Westbrook so much playing time?
In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G4, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets who played at home 92-87 after a hard battle. After this game, the Thunder tied the total score of the series to 2-2, and both sides returned to the same starting line. Moreover, the Thunder also regained their home advantage after this game and regained the initiative in the series.
In this game, the Nuggets' substitute backcourt veteran Russell Westbrook's performance was shocking. Westbrook played 26 minutes and 34 seconds in the game, made 2 of 12 shots and 2 of 9 from outside the three-point line, scoring only 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and there were 1 turnover and 6 fouls. The plus and negative values were lower than the lowest level of -20 in the game. Westbrook's performance in this game was so impressive. His touch was a mess, but he continued to shoot outside, and he wasted a lot of ball rights and mobile phone opportunities. Westbrook's performance in passing and independent offense is also very unsatisfactory, and he also failed to show his talent in this area. Westbrook's performance on both offense and defense was a mess, and his effect on the court was also terrible, which also led to the team's defeat to a large extent. From any perspective, Westbrook has reason to do better on the court as the team's sixth man.
In the NBA regular season this season, Westbrook made a total of 75 appearances in 82 games, averaging 27.9 minutes per game, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 3.2 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 32.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 66.1%. In the playoffs, Westbrook made a total of 10 appearances in the first 11 games, averaging 25.4 minutes per game, averaging 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals, 2 turnovers and 3.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 41.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 34%, and free throw shooting percentage of 70.6%.
Westbrook's performance in the playoffs this season is actually quite good. He can still play a key role in both offense and defense and help the team's starters relieve the pressure. In fact, Westbrook is also one of the few (only) bench players that the team can use, and he has provided great help and support to the team in many games. But after all, Westbrook is a basic veteran. It is a bit difficult for him to take on more responsibilities and to be able to play a key role in every game. The current situation of the Nuggets is that no matter how poor Westbrook performs, he will have to get so much playing time, otherwise the starter will have to be exhausted. Such a situation may also have an impact on the team's playoff prospects.
