He was, that's because he has no teammate that is also after for a record, LOL.
Since they (harden and wesbrook) will be playing together, they should not be selfish, instead they have to share the ball in the court for the benefit of the entire team. They had been MVP already, they should go for championship this time and I think there's a high possibility.

He can still play but I don't think he is getting the same treatment as others veterans in the game. Slowly they are going to exit and might retire unless he really finds a good team that will suit him the best.

And with the last contract on his head, I don't know if they are willing to take the risk. Because we all know that teams are looking for fresh recruit as their foundation on building a new team and CP3 is too old for that.

That's what I think about Westbrook. The team management may have made a bad idea of bringing Westbrook to Houston though. Eventhough he is a good player in his position but Houston has James Harden who we know lead the team and I don't think Westbrook will follow the lead of Harden.

Westbrook and Harden played together since they were kids, they know how they play and they know their own styles as well, they are not worried about it so why should you be. Right now Westbrook knows that he is coming to hardens team and he won't be trying to be the alpha dog there for sure but even if he does their styles are super different from each other.

Harden is known for his unathletic smart skilled plays whereas Westbrook is known for his explosive physical style of play, one will do one thing and the other will do something else, since there is two people who are super talented on the team opposing teams will hard time doubling anyone, you could even focus on harden when Chris Paul was on the team but if you do that now than Westbrook will make you pay.

Here is the thing.
He is not being maximized anymore. The soars are coming from all of that.
He was used to being a player that runs like 30 minutes of his entire time in the floor. (Clippers Moment)
Now, he was brought to Houston. Harden is there which makes more minutes than him, he was just made as a back up.
A lot will soar when that happens. The physical body is not used to it.

Same thing will happen to Westbrook. No doubt about that if he will be made as a substitution of Harden.

Yes they might know each other since them teaming up in OKC but is that really enough to tell that their chemistry is way better compared to what they have with their previous line up? Because really chemistry is not something that cannot be developed all teams have that and San Antonio Spurs during the last few seasons showed that even if they have big roster changes they still developed their players to be good with one another. Westbrook and Harden on the other hand both of which are thirsty to carry the ball shows that one to give up their previous role for the other.

I didn't know about that, I've been following the NBA for many seasons but never had time to get to know about them with their backgrounds. If this would finally be for the good of Rockets then there will a chemistry for the both of it which will result as a team. I don't want to assume base on that history but it's also possible that there's something that has changed for both of them. Two superstars, we'll wishing all the best for this tandem and for Rockets though.

But this is different though, this is not the backyard basketball arena. So you can't compare them as kids and as NBA superstars right? As NBA fans of course we can give our own analysis because we have witnessed how they grow as a player. But we can't discount that fact that he also played with Kevin Durant and we all know how it ended.

Ain't sure how this two Stars will have a good chemistry not unless they are now matured enough to adjust with the type of games that they have, Westbrook and Harden are both good for individual talents, we will witness what adjustment they both willing to take in order to gain more winning chances.

Harden will choked in the playoffs, he cannot carry his team alone, he need another superstar playing with him and he got it now.
Let us not conclude early because we don't know what this team would become with westbrook on board, they have the talent so it's not impossible for them to beat good teams in the NBA.

I think because most people believe that Westbrook would not help improve the Rockets, we will all be wrong when the regular season officially starts, I hope so.
