Are we calling him clownboy now? One thing about Timmeh, what a great nickname to be stuck with. I also like Cheat Carroll. Do we have one for Kevin O’Neill yet?

I can honestly tell you guys I’m a Bruin fan. I’ve been a Bruin fan and will always be a Bruin fan. I grew up in a highschool where it consist of mostly USC fans, but I still screamed for UCLA blue, so there really wasn’t any cheap shot intended there. If you don’t blieve me thats fine, I’m not trying to make a believer of anybody that I’m not a Bruin fan.

Anyways, just to clear things up: If we look back during that season, Memphis vs UCLA. Clear cut that Rose was a great player, speed, intelligent, great handling, etc etc. Seems to me that Rose went over and beyond on Collison. At that point in the game, I would have thought that Howland would have used Westbrook ( I was actually hoping he would since Westbrook was playing for Collison a few games before and preformed well.) Anyways, to clear things up, your right Howland doesn’t exactly have a “system.” (Besides the pick and roll, but who doesn’t use that.) I do retract that “system” statement back, but I guess I meant that Howland didn’t use Russel Westbrook to his full potential.

Well to add on to details, Westbrook isn’t a shooting pg, a scoring one. Its true, currently in the NBA, Russel feels like a combo guard: not the ideal height for a shooting guard, and not an ideal passer for a pg. Within 32 mins, he had 5.3 assist, but 3.3 resulting in turnovers. To get even futher, 58% of his shots were jumpshots, which resulted in 36% actually being made. Whereas close range shots(getting an assist from somebody or not), 34% of his shos were close range shots, which resulted in a 42%.Within those 32 mins also, he shot a total of 39 percent from the field. So while scoring 15.3 ppg is great, he needs to polish up that 39%.

As for the #4 pick argument, it goes both ways. Remember that in most mock drafts, they had Russel Westbrook landing somewhere between #7- 15. #7 only because it was an idea that Russel stays in LA, which would/ could land him in the hands in LA if Eric Gordon( Indianna) falls into NYKnicks hands(#6). The reason Russel was taken at #4 was because of tryouts, not his individual season at UCLA. (Probably the same reason why Tyreke Evan was taken at #4 this year.) Remember that everybody had Rubio at #2, until Rubio pissed everybody off. Tyreke showed everybody( or to be exact Kings) during workouts that he is explosive, and so it could be a reason why he was chosen over Johnny Flynn. Maybe even Jrue Holiday falls into this category? Individual stats alone, Holiday is not a 17th pick (afterall if it were up to individual stats alone, Tyler Hans. could be drafted #2.) But Jrue has talent, not polished yet, and I believe that he could have done better.

As for a "breakthrough season, from 3.4- 12.7ppg, yes, but not exactly #4 pick material. I’m just saying that Russel was selected where he was at mostly because of his workout with OKC.

I think that actually taking a shot at my team( Clippers) was defintiley a very cheap shot. Hell, taking an attack to my intelligence is probably worse becasue you don’t really know me. So please stop assuming things when you say you doubted I aced my two English classes, it really doesn’t help your statments.

As for actually not watching a game, how else would I actually know and play the sport?
