Okay, so Russell Westbrook is not Ogie Oglethorpe, (for one thing, he's 22, not 21) but it seems like he's becoming a sideshow distraction to a team that needs to focus in the playoffs.

Clash in the East, AI's anniversary & the 'bee's knees'
- May 15, 2011 12:52 PM

The East final begins tonight, and it all comes down to what many
thought were the two most balanced teams in the conference with their
moves in the off-season.
