Westbrook missing the playoffs with OKC’s talent would define his career
Russell Westbrook and the Thunder are fighting for their playoff lives as the regular season finishes up. Colin thinks if OKC misses the playoffs they would be the most talented team in NBA history not to qualify for the postseason.
Even with the MVP and all the triple doubles, if Westbrook misses the playoffs with Paul George, Carmelo Anthony and Steven Adams, it would define his career.
Ben Simmons is an all-time NBA talent
Ben Simmons and the Sixers are the NBA’s hottest team heading into the playoffs, and are doing it while Joel Embiid is sidelined with a facial fracture.
Colin has been critical of ‘The Process,’ but thinks Simmons is a transcendent all-time talent and a more physically gifted version of Magic Johnson. The scary part is he’s dominant now without having anything resembling an outside shot. Even though Embiid gets more headlines, Simmons is the true foundation of the Sixers. He could end up as one of the greats.
