OKC’s dynamic guard Russell Westbrook is out with a knee problem and will have operation in the next few days. It is HUGE news in the NBA. Westbrook is one of the top players in the NBA and is a very very exciting player. I love to watch this dude play.

Westbrook has not missed a game in high school, in college and in the NBA. That is amazing. But now he is out for awhile. So how will this effect the Thunder in the playoffs? Can they continue on without Russell? Can a MUCH older Derek Fisher step up? Fisher’s defense is TERRIBLE!! He is in the same boat as Steve Nash with the Lakers. 38 or 39 year old players who has lost not one step but two steps. This is a problem for OKC.

So we already know Russell will be out four to six weeks for sure. Can OKC hold out with RW? For sure “KD” Kevin Durant will have to score more points. Maybe 40 every game in the playoffs to make up for the loss of Westbrook. Guard Reggie Jackson has to step up. All of OKC has to step up because you can say Russell Westbrook is a superstar.

So let’s check out and see what happens to the Thunder without Westbrook. This should be very interesting sports fans.   Gordon Curvey
