Am I the only one not enamored with Westbrook's triple-doubles? Don't wanna be that guy, but some of these performances have either been against bad teams/defenses, or with high turnovers & sub par shooting percentages.

I enjoy his leave it on the floor mentality -- but this stuff doesn't work against elite teams or in the playoffs. And by "work" I mean translating into W's.

I hope this wasn't the NBA singling out Westbrook/his triple doubles ... i mean is it their practice to go back, review & adjust as necessary every rebound in the L?

it's still impressive imo. he's doing it in NBA competition, regardless of it being a bad team/defense.

reminds me of when Kobe scored 81 and some were saying it wasn't impressive because it was against a weak Raptors team lol.
