I’m seeing a lot of James Harden hate for his past two performances, but I don’t see how it makes sense for Westbrook to handle the ball and shoot 18 fgs (the most on the Clippers). Harden was the leader in assists last year and every team with him as the primary ballhandler has seen some level of success (a solid playoff team).

Westbrook playing better than he did on the Lakers is STILL worse than Harden.
