    Caris LeVert 2017-18 Season Review

    Caris LeVert is one of the most intriguing pieces on the Brooklyn Nets roster. Despite starting off the season in slow fashion, the 23 year old built a solid stat-line to finish the 2017-18 campaign. His pick and roll partnership with rookie Jarrett Allen was one of the highlights of the team’s season. LeVert garnered 0.7 of his 4.2 assists per game to Allen, second only to sharpshooter, Joe Harris (0.8). However, Harris did receive 1.6 extra passes (4.9) from the sophomore g

    2017 Fantasy Basketball Profiles: 2. Russell Westbrook

    The 2017-18 NBA season is fast approaching, and thus so is fantasy basketball season. As part of our preseason fantasy coverage here at Off the Glass, I’ll be profiling my top five overall players for 2017-18 season. Without any further ado, here is No. 2 2. Russell Westbrook Free from having to share the ball with Kevin Durant, Westbrook went on a one-man rampage last year on his way to winning league MVP. He averaged a triple-double for the season (31.6 points, 10.7 rebound

    On the Verge of Elimination: Westbrook Defends Teammate

    A frustrated Russell Westbrook jumped to the defense of teammate Steven Adams when a reporter asked about the team’s inability to maintain a lead and close games in the series, especially with Westbrook on the bench. “Hold on, Steven,” Westbrook barked at a post-game press conference. “I don’t want nobody to try and split us up. We’re all on one team. If I go to the bench and Steven’s on the floor and I’m off the floor, we’re in this together. Don’t split us up. Don’t try to

    Russell Westbrook Should Thank Kevin Durant for Leaving Oklahoma City

    Think back to July 4, 2016. For most of you, that was just another great day spent celebrating America’s birthday. If you are an Oklahoma City Thunder fan, that is the day the golden boy left for the big bad Golden State Warriors. Yes, that is the day when Kevin Durant, who claimed to love playing in Oklahoma City, decided that he would rather chase a NBA Championship with the best team in the league (sorry Cleveland), than with the NBA’s newest city. This is all well and goo

    The Most Valuable Beard

    There are four players currently competing for the MVP award, but which one really deserves it this year? In a year of high powered offenses, triple doubles every night and 50 3-point shot attempts a game becoming a norm; James Harden has taken this new style of offense and dominated with it, showing that he should win the MVP this year over Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James. In a very tight race, I think Russell Westbrook ranks fourth, LeBron James third and

    The MVP Race: (Advanced) Numbers Never Lie

    In recent years, statistics have become a significant part of sports culture. Basketball in particular has become one of the most analytics-driven sports in the world. More and more, advanced statistical categories have been created to give us a deeper understanding of each player’s individual contribution while they are both on and off the court. Advanced statistics such as Player Efficiency Rating (PER), Win Shares, Player Impact Estimate (PIE), and True Shooting (TS%) ar

    The MVP Race: The (MVP) Case Against the Golden State Warriors

    Just about every advanced metric shows that Kevin Durant should be leading this year’s MVP race. The leading scorer on a team with the league’s best record, Kevin Durant also leads the league in Win Shares and True Shooting, and is second only to Anthony Davis in Player Efficiency Rating. He boasts season averages of 27 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and has absolutely demoralized any defender faced with the grave challenge of defending him on a given night. So why isn’t D

    Durant and Westbtook - A Shakespearean Tragedy

    By now, every basketball fan knows what the biggest story of the NBA offseason was. For those of you who may have missed it, Kevin Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder via free agency to join the Golden State Warriors after losing to, you guessed it, those same Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. What made it worse was that Oklahoma City had a 3-1 lead in the series but eventually folded and coughed it up, losing in seven games. Ironically, the Warriors themselves gav

    The MVP Race: A Contrasting Approach

    Thus far in the 2016/2017 NBA season, we’ve already seen some amazing performances from all over the league. Guys like Damian Lillard and DeMar DeRozan are putting on incredible scoring performances while other players, such as Russell Westbrook and James Harden, have displayed a dominant overall approach. With that being said, some players have come out of the gate much slower. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it is interesting to see how different players approach

    5 Things to Look for in OKC vs. GSW

    Here we go. The first of four matchups between Russell Westbrook and Oakland's Superteam. Your classic David vs a team of Goliaths. All the pressure this year will be on Kevin Durant and the rest of the Warriors. Westbrook is playing with house money this year. Nothing to lose for him. But he is also playing at a rate that we haven't seen in a while. This tension and drama has been building since the final whistle blew on the Western Conference Finals. KD deciding to end his

    White-Hot Westbrook Carries Thunder to 3-0 Start

    When Kevin Durant shocked the world and left the Oklahoma City Thunder, many assumed that his former partner in crime Russell Westbrook, would put up extremely gaudy numbers, now that he is main star of the show. If the first three games are any indication, those who assumed, were right on the money. Through Oklahoma City’s first three games, Westbrook has become the only player in NBA history to amass over 100 points, 30, rebounds, and 30 assists in his team’s first three c

    Are You Not Entertained??

    It's wasn't the most high profile game. It didn't have two particularly great teams. Between them they only had one legitimate superstar. Out of 24 guys on the roster only 1 had all star appearances. One team has had one of the top 3 picks in the last 5 yrs of the NBA draft. But the Sixers vs the Thunder last night has been the most entertaining NBA game of this young season. It had more storylines than either the Cavs vs Knicks or GSW vs Spurs. This is mostly due to two play

    Early Takeaways from the Thunder’s First Win

    Well, it has finally happened, we saw the Oklahoma City Thunder play a game without Kevin Durant. Russell Westbrook, as expected, was amazing and put up Russell Westbrook numbers, but some things weren’t as one would have imagined. Heading into the final quarter, the Thunder found themselves down six to the Philadelphia 76ers, a team that was supposed to be awful this season. The Thunder would eventually win the game by 6, but it was down to wire despite the fact that Westbro

    The MVP Race: Preseason Ranking

    It’s hard to separate players before even a single minute of 2016/2017 regular season basketball has been played. We have no idea how Russell Westbrook will fare on his own in OKC, or how Steph Curry and Kevin Durant will divvy up shots. Will LeBron chase a 5th MVP award, or will he coast through to the All-Star break once again? Will Chris Paul and Blake Griffin manage to stay healthy? These are all questions that will go unanswered until the opening night (tip-off on Octobe
