Russell's promising performance in a loss

I'm with coach Mike, Russell Westbrook doesn't need to change his game.  He is the refreshing change of pace that Houston sought when they signed Carmelo last year.

What he needs to do is play his game and be efficient doing it.  He certainly was Monday.  If Westbrook just hit his career averages for 3's, free throws and shots from the field Houston would have an extra point or two each night.  That doesn't sound like a lot, but think of it this way, Westbrook has a plus minus of about 1.5 currently.  Moving that up to 3.0 would put him back into elite status.

Here's hoping.
