<p><strong>Russell Westbrook</strong> is one of the most talented and athletic players in the history of the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a></strong>. He can do it all – but shoot – on the hardwood and has already written his name in the history books by averaging a triple-double multiple times. That’s why <strong>he’s not worried about<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> LeBron James </a>or the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>ahead of their playoff meeting.</p>
<p>Westbrook has made a name for himself<strong> for being the most confident guy you’ll know</strong>. That’s his blessing and his curse, as that mentality has made him a fearless competitor who’s willing to put his body on the line on every single possession but that has also made him commit avoidable mistakes in the clutch over and over.</p>
<p>Then again, the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets</strong></a> will only go as far as Westbrook and <strong>James Harden</strong> can take them. They enter the <strong>Western Conference Semifinals </strong>as big underdogs, yet the Brodie doesn’t seem to care at all.</p>

<h2>Russell Westbrook Plays Down The Lakers Ahead Of Playoff Matchup</h2>
<p>So, when asked about his biggest concern about the Los Angeles Lakers ahead of their Western Conference Semifinals matchup, the All-Star point guard replied in the most Russell Westbrook fashion by stating that<strong> he never worries about the other team, regardless of who they are.</strong></p>

<p>Westbrook <strong>was clearly rusty </strong>during his first couple of games vs. the <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder </strong>after missing some time with a calf injury but he looked like his usual self in Game 7. However, he must take better care of the ball vs. the Lakers’ great perimeter defense.</p>

Russell Westbrook plays down LeBron and the Lakers ahead of playoff series

Russell Westbrook plays down LeBron and the Lakers ahead of playoff series - Bolavip US

<p>It goes without saying that <strong>Russell Westbrook</strong> is one of the best players in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>. He’s a dominant point guard that can do it all on both ends of the court and fill the stat sheet, and his never-ending energy is why the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/houston-rockets-t102082" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Houston Rockets</strong></a> traded for him last summer. Even so, there was a reasonable doubt about whether he was what the Rockets needed to take a step forward and finally put an end to their championship drought.</p>
<p>Westbrook’s ability to push the pace and go 0-100 in a heartbeat was tailor-made for the Rockets’ run-and-gun offense. He was arguably a better fit than <strong>Chris Paul</strong> and had a close relationship with <strong>James Harden,</strong> so even if it was a costlymove for the Rockets, it was definitely worth it, at least in the paper.</p>
<p>However, the thing that makes him great is also the very same thing that has cost his teams countless times, especially in the playoffs. <strong>Westbrook tends to be overconfident </strong>so he tries to do too much, doesn’t read the game in clutch situations, and turns the ball over/bricks shots when it matters most despite having an all-time great scorer as a teammate.</p>

<p>The Houston Rockets had the lead late in the fourth quarter of a series-clinching game vs. the <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder,</strong> his former team. <strong>He proceeded to brick some shots, airball another, and then have a late-game turnover </strong>(his 7th of the night)that eventually led his team to a 104-100 loss.</p>

<p>This has happened over and over to him. Westbrook is arguably the fastest and most athletic player in the <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>. He can take everybody on earth one-on-one but <strong>that doesn’t mean he needs to prove it every time he’s on the floor.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Now, the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/oklahoma-city-thunder-t91653" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thunder</a> have a legit shot at handing him yet another first-round exit. </strong>Ironically, it’ll be the same team that the Rockets gave multiple picks just to get rid of Chris Paul and trade for, yeah, Russell Westbrook.</p>
