What's interesting about the Westbrook/Paul-carrying-the-team dynamic, though, is the critique of Paul is that he's often too unwilling to score himself, that he defers too much. The critique of Westbrook is obviously the opposite.

But in this run in which they're flying solo, and they've been forced out of their comfort zones to carry their teams, they aren't doing one or the other. They're doing both. They're doing what's necessary. They're doing what they're supposed to do.
