Westbrook Speaks.......Didnt Jump Off The Porch

he takin the chastise

Asked whether he was surprised that coach Frank Vogel substituted him out of the final four minutes of L.A.'s fourth loss in five games, Westbrook told ESPN: "Surprised, yes. I was disappointed I didn't go back in, but I'm more disappointed that we lost the damn game. "I want to be able to be on the floor to help my teammates and be able to help our team win in games like that -- but that was a decision that was made."

"Ultimately, you have to be OK when s--- doesn't go well, and I'm OK," Westbrook told ESPN. "I've done everything that's been asked of me here, and I'll continue to do so and ride this out as long as we can toward our ultimate goal -- and that's to win a championship.

"We obviously haven't been fully healthy, but I'm committed to making this thing work. The communication is there with everybody in the organization to make this thing work, to make this team we all want it to be in the future.

"I have accepted everything that has been asked of me and tried to do it to the best of my ability. I'm not the ultimate decision-maker of if it's working -- or if it's not working.(is he throwing rocks at the throne?) I'm OK with sacrificing some of the things that I've been able to do in this game to win, because that's the most important part of this game. I've done everything they've asked me to do to this point."

Westbrook was unhappy with characterizations that he stormed out of the Crypto.com Arena locker room without meeting with reporters in a postgame news conference. Both Westbrook and team officials said on Thursday that the organization requested that he skip the interview session.

"I think the communication of what [Vogel] wants and how he wants it kind of changes because guys have been in and out of the lineup," Westbrook told ESPN. "Everybody is trying to figure out what to do and how to do it. I try to put my head down and do the best that I can do for our team, and whatever is asked of me I try to do it to the best of my ability. That's all I've been trying to do since I got here."

"I think it's important to know that part of the process of being on a new team is that there are going to be a lot of ups and downs and struggles throughout a season," Westbrook told ESPN. "It's been a challenge for the last three years -- just trying to figure things out. I lean on a lot of my faith to be able to stay locked in on my craft and work my a-- off and find ways to make situations work. The challenge is how to be the version of myself for this team, that's what I'm trying to figure out.

"I want to get better as the season goes on, and I've got to take responsibility for the things I'm doing and how I'm making those around me better. We have a legitimate chance to be able to win it all, and to do that, I'll have to be better -- and I know that I will be."

Y’all n*ggas man. Insight right there, you wanna here the loud mouth and the old decrepit clown gives sports opinions. No wonder sports discussion around here fu*king SUCKs.

I respect Westbrook. He plays hard, isn't fragile, and never seems to get fatigued. The man is always charged up, but I think he has too much energy and is costing the team some games. He needs to slow down a bit so his team can win. He rushes the basket and sometimes misses the layup or will rush the basket and try to kick it out only to turn over. He needs to take his time. Other than that, they should keep him off the floor down the stretch.
