You're either a winner or a loser. Westbrook has decided to be a loser. Losers lose, Wave. If he wants to be a loser, good on him. I support his loserness.

Where does this unreasonable and illogical hate come from?
*The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

Russell Westbrook Still Doesn't Care What You Think
http://victoryjournal.com/stories/westbrook/
RUSSELL WESTBROOK UNLEASHED, intoned with some combination of giddiness and outright dread, is the big headline here. But the Thunder won’t simply be a vehicle for Westbrook’s furor. They will still be a very good team, if not an elite one. For the first time ever, the franchise has a solid supporting cast and a competent coach. The Serge Ibaka trade altered the complexion of their roster but they got versatile guard Victor Oladipo in return. Still, there’s a crackpot consistency to Westbrook. Choosing to remain in the stronger West is far from the path of least resistance. Boston, a rumored destination for Westbrook either through trade or free agency next summer, would give him a far better shot at the Finals. Yet chasing a title doesn’t really seem to be on Westbrook’s radar. It’s as if he’s almost too competitive in the moment to get hung up on the big picture.
There’s also a part of me that wonders if Westbrook chose to stick around in part because of the the Thunder-Warriors rivalry, which was fraught even before Durant’s move. While we’ll probably never know for certain, there’s a distinct possibility that Westbrook—who barely understands the line between bold and foolhardy—wants very much to be a thorn in Golden State’s side. It’s a gross understatement to call Westbrook emotional and it’s entirely possible that his heart, not his head, is what’s guiding him here. Westbrook always needs a reason—whether real or imagined—and if it wasn’t personal with the Warriors before, it certainly is now.
...
There are no martyrs in sports. With Westbrook, though, there’s an element of bravura that borders on self-sabotage. He would almost rather go down in a blaze of glory than nab the easy win. It’s a drive so uncouth and senseless that it seemingly works against his newfound nobility. Russell Westbrook views the world as one gigantic middle finger and responds in kind.

Too bad he committed to such a terrible franchise.
