Is Westbrook that bad?

Davis and Lebron is out and Westbrook is still a bench player.  He is horrible and should definitely be coming off the bench.  The thing is, why do the books have his total at 19.5 coming off the bench?  Do the books know something I don't?  Seeing him ruin the game for LA last time out, you would think the total would be less.  Strange.  With that said, I bet the books baited gamblers and Westbrook goes over.

Any thoughts?

Man what? westbrick needs to be starter even with LB and AD

The coach is crazyyy , thats why lakes only loses 

9 points so far in first  quarter looking good for over 19

And the starter ahead of him, schroder, has 0 with same amount of time.....

Is the coach mad?  Lakers throwing the season? 

Good bet though.

Now the coach pulls Westbrook for a 0 point man to replace Westbrook's 11 points in 11 minutes.  Not watching but is that a smart move?  Is the coach already forfeiting the game and saving Westbrook from possible injury?  Don't watch Lakers.  Is the coach smart or stupid?

  What kind of question is that? Is Westbrook that bad

What kind of question is that?  Well, Westbrook is the second highest paid player with a 44 million dollar salary just behind Steph but is ranked 36th at his position.  We aren't talking about the rhetorical questions but the question why the 44 million dollar man is on the bench when the guy above him is worse?  At half:  Schroder has 2 points in 16 minutes and Westbrook has 11 in 14 minutes.  Therefore, asking if the coach is stupid or not is reasonable since I don't watch Laker games and don't know if this is habitual behaviour by the coach?
