Jeff Green

t, the blazing quick Westbrook. Last night, the Pistons took both those options away, leaving Jeff Green one on one with Maxiell. Green layed it up. Oklahoma City took a one point lead with 2.5 seconds left. What was more impressive is what Westbrook did next. No one talked about it. There was no post game interview, but Westbrook did something that every high school coach dreams of. He turned his the dribbler not once, but twice in 2.5 seconds. Ben Gordon got the ball on the in bounds and Westbrook forced him to change directions twice. Every time you turn your defender, the defense has many advantages. One, you can double team with his back turned. Two, as in this case, they don't make much progress up the floor. And, three, it eats up clock. He may be the best defensive point guard in the league.

e players are rookies, and that the team's three best players, Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Jeff Green, have a combined NBA experience of just 2 years. Durant and Green were rookies last year, and Westbrook is a rookie this year. The reason I bring up how young this team is, is because it is a key reason to why the team only has 13 wins right now. It is because of this lack of experience that the team just can't seem to finish out games. The majority of their defeats have come by 6 or less points, and a good chunk of those losses have come either by last second shots, or because the team blew a huge third quarter or early fourth quarter lead.
