Westbrook needed to tweak his game, and the easiest tweak was setting ball screens for James. Everyone within the team knew this over the summer. When it became a talking point after the Lakers’ 0-2 start, Westbrook set eight ball screens in the next game — the most he has set in any game since Second Spectrum set up video tracking in 2013. He has not set more than two in any game since. Westbrook screening more is not on its own turning this sub-.500 mess into a title team. Duh. But it would help, and that it hasn’t happened is an organizational failure.
