Thunder fall to Spurs 105-93 2 GB out of 1st in the West

Crazy game and another frustrating one for people who are critical of Westbrook's PG decision making. The Thunder fell to the Spurs in San Antonio Monday night which was a game to most that had the Thunder reeling past the Tony Parker less spurs but that was not the case. The Thunder started off fast getting up to a 13 point lead in the 2nd quarter but vastly saw it demise as Tony Duncan and Kawhi Leanord went off. I have to be honest I was screaming at the TV for Westbrook to pass the ball to Durant who seemed extremely frustrated with the moves Westbrook made. He was at the end of the first half 3-11 but just wouldn't stop shooting. This is when people who are Westbrook critics (Skip Bayless) can show they are right about Westbrook not being a true PG which I think is pretty obvious even though he is in the top 5 in assists per game this year. If the Thunder cannot fix their turnover woes then the Spurs are going to creep up behind the Thunder and steel a Western Conference Finals Title. Back to Westbrook, He took 27 shots compared to Durant's 13 and yet finished with 25 pts compared to Durant's 26......I think that should send a message to Scott Brooks and Westbrook to get Durant the ball more. Not a lot of bench points for the Thunder with only 16 that has to go up too for when Durant and Westbrook take breaks. I would like to see Ronnie Brewer go out there more to rough up the top scorers with his tough aggressive defense but has only averaged a mere 2 minutes a game. Why Presti got him to me is a mystery but the reason could be come playoff time if they get back to the finals they need someone to play hard against Lebron and D-Wade (Assuming the Heat don't get upset by the Pacers or Celtics or any other team).  The Thunder take on the Jazz Wednesday and try to keep their pursuit of the 1st seed in the West on.
