Can you still perform when playing against the Clippers? Westbrook is really full of negative effects when playing against the Thunder?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G7, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who played at home, defeated the Denver Nuggets 125-93. After this game, the Thunder locked the total score of the series at 4-3 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Next, the Thunder will compete with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a finals, while the Nuggets will be out of the Western Conference semi-finals for two consecutive seasons.

In this game, the performance of Nuggets' substitute point guard Russell Westbrook is obviously unsatisfactory. Westbrook played 21 minutes and 48 seconds in the game, made 2 of 7 shots and 2 of 5 shots outside the three-point line, scoring only 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and had 4 turnovers and 3 fouls. The plus and negative values ​​also reached the lowest level of -34 in the game. Westbrook's offensive feel is still not ideal. He has not scored too many points, and his offensive efficiency is still quite poor. Not only that, Westbrook's performance in passing and organization is also unsatisfactory. He also made a lot of mistakes and wasted a lot of ball rights. Westbrook's performance on the defensive end is also a bit bad, and he has no way to exert his defensive abilities. Westbrook's situation on the court was also a mess, which can also be reflected in his extremely low plus-negative value. If Westbrook performed well, it might be difficult for the Nuggets to have a chance to win, but at least the team may not lose so badly.

In the NBA regular season this season, Westbrook made a total of 75 appearances in 82 games, averaging 27.9 minutes per game, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 3.2 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 32.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 66.1%. In the playoffs, Westbrook made a total of 13 appearances in the first 14 games, averaging 24.1 minutes per game, averaging 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He also had 2.3 turnovers and 3.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 39.1%, three-point shooting percentage was 31.7%, and free throw shooting percentage was 70%.

In fact, Westbrook performed quite well in the first round against the Los Angeles Clippers series. He also showed off his talents in all aspects and made great contributions to the team's successful advancement to the second round. Unexpectedly, in this round of the series, the situation changed so tremendously. Westbrook's performance showed a cliff-like decline. He was a serious role in dragging the team down in almost every game. His poor performance also led to the team being eliminated to a certain extent. With Westbrook's performance in this round of the series, his negative impact on the team is really too great. Although his ability has declined, he still has no changes in his style of play. Once he is in poor condition, he will be full of negative impacts on the court. I don’t know how the Nuggets will evaluate Westbrook’s performance in the playoffs. Will they continue to complete the contract renewal with him?
