With two separate appalling mistakes. Didn't need to score, could have run clock out and gotten fouled to go up 2 or 3. Fouled on a last second 3point shot. Jokic with a 61 point triple-double. Just insane numbers.Westbrook just cost Jokic a legendary win.

The other fun person to watch in that whole play is Julius Randle. Just kinda floats around for the entire back and forth sequence.He stays waaaay behind the play after blowing his layup, then when he finally shows up he defends no one, isn't even close to being in a position to defend anyone, his man wide open that entire time.

Yeah, I think the Wolves getting him on their roster is a big reason for their slide this year. He is a doofus and, IMO, a cancer.
I REALLY hope that we don't trade KD to the Wolves because I don't see how the trade can be constructed without Randle heading our way.
I think that is an upgrade if you ask me, speaking from team dynamics. It gives us someone who can get to the rim, draw fouls, and play with some size and strength.
