很高興的是,雷霆教練Scoot Brooks也抱持相同態度,沒有對Westbrook的侵略性有任何質疑,也不對他眾人眼中所謂的「操之過急」感到不適,他只是說:「He's going to get better. You're not seeing Russell at this level for the rest of his career. Russell plays in attack mode. He's an aggressive player. We don't want to take away his aggressiveness to the basket.」用四兩撥千斤的態度來回應,因為他知道Westbrook內心擁有無比精益求精的動力,他只是更好而已,他的侵略性更是最珍貴的特質,沒必要在此刻過度苛責他。
