Perez on Westbrook and Lillard
The Portland Trail Blazers made a big step toward reaching Round 2 after defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4. Rob Perez shared a bit of a comical tweet following the tilt. He said that Lillard is waiting for the next series, while Westbrook is looking for the next question, which pretty much sums up the current series.

Chris Broussard on Westbrook
In the newest episode of Undisputed, Chris Broussard discussed Russell Westbrook’s chances of becoming an NBA champion and he doesn’t think an NBA team will ever win a title with Westbrook as their leading player.
"Westbrook is going to have a legacy similar to Allen Iverson. He's going to be an icon. Westbrook is also the only player ever to lead the NBA in scoring and assists two times. … You will never win a title with Westbrook as your leading player." — @Chris_Broussard pic.twitter.com/ulxFh7Py2j
