Mister Triple Double avrà il suo peso anche ai playoffs? Se Russell Westbrook dovesse continuare a macinare punti, assist e rimbalzi come ha fatto negli ultimi tempi, le sorti degli Oklahoma City Thunder, anche per l’impatto che ciò avrebbe sul loro morale, potrebbero cambiare radicalmente. Ma di fatto i Thunder possono contare solo sul loro quintetto base, sulle loro superstar, per scrivere il loro futuro. I playoffs, d’altronde, sono un capitolo a parte, più simile ad un one-shot game per le dinamiche che si instaurano nell’arco di una serie, perciò mai dire mai.
