The Nuggets will now get ready to take on the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in what should be a fascinating series. This matchup will feature two of the three NBA MVP finalists, giving fans some real entertainment.

But after Game 7 ended, Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook offered some surprising thoughts on his game. Westbrook shared some truths with the media that fans never thought he would admit to.

"My ability to be able to be a force of nature on the floor is what I pride myself on. It may be a turnover, it may be a missed shot, but it may be a steal, may be a dunk, may be a missed 3, maybe a made 3, it's gonna be all of that."

Westbrook has been a controversial player over the past few years due to his inconsistency on the floor. Many NBA fans have a running joke of "Live by Westbrook, die by Westbrook", in reference to this.

But it seems that Westbrook understands that his game can take his team all over the place. This is some surprising accountability from the Nuggets guard and shows that he has grown as a player over time.

Winning the series over the Clippers must have felt good to Westbrook, considering that Los Angeles got rid of him last offseason. The former league MVP has bounced around the league over the past few years, seeing his playing time limited in different spots.

But he has found a nice role with the Nuggets, and many believe that he has a legitimate chance to finally win a title. Westbrook was massive in the series against the Clippers, helping Denver grab a big Game 1 victory.

Denver could do something special if Westbrook continues being selfless in the postseason. Westbrook is a talented player, and many fans have been happy to see him find success this season.
