Perks reaction :oldlol:

He must be so infuriating as a teammate.

[Graviton]

I honestly believe he has a real multiple personality disorder. No way he can be so inconsistent by choice.

One day he actually attacks the rim and slows down, next day he just jacks up quick jumpers like JR Smith. Makes no sense.

Some of it should be on Brooks for allowing that shit, guy has no balls. Anyone think Westbrook would be playing like that under Popovich? They say good centers are extinct, but so are good coaches, outside Pop, Thibs and Hollins I don't think there is a coach out there that holds his player's accountable and actually has control over the stars.

It could be called that, or low basketball IQ whichever you prefer.

Hard to develop IQ with no veterans and a coach with no ********. This team could use someone like Nash, Kidd or even Billups.

Either way, Spurs are the favorites to make it outta the West.

Embarrassing, he should be fined by the Thunder for that.

F.ucking trash. No team will ever win anything with this low IQ clown as their starting "point guard". Wait until his athleticism starts to fade. Him and Rose will be the Bejing's Ducks starting backcourt by 2020. Dumbest player in the league by far.

[SilkkTheShocker]

You aren't going to win anything when both your stars have low basketball IQs. I know its your job to take shots at Durant in every thread, but you're so wrong here it almost makes me think you don't watch basketball. Just shut the f.uck up.

[Real Men Wear Green]

No ref should ever call a foul in that circumstance. You do not give a reward to a player for that kind of decision.

Durant has great IQ... at least better than Westbrook, i was just sarcastic on my comment but its somewhat true in that Durant needs to be the one taking more/many shots on that team and/or just be more scoring agressive than Westbrook. A Durant with Westbrooks mindset is a much more efficient & productive scorer and who knows, maybe that could result in better team success for his team...

I love Durant.... absolutely love the guy, reminds me of my favorite player of all time aswell... i like to share my tips & thoughts on how he can improve and how he maybe should approach the game and so on, its just speculation and i expect nothing but basketball discussion out of it..... not insults from cretins like you, your red bars are already very understandably filled out so i wont even bother with that either, stop wasting my time.

Agreed. Why waste your time with me when you can be writing novels on a blocked shot in the all-star game. Also, if im wasting your time, what was the point of even responding to me? Did I heard you feeling because I told you to "shut the f.uck up"? Man up, son.

As usual, Westbrook does something dumb and the wolves come out. He clearly thought Gary Neal was about to foul him. Watch the replay...Neal actually does run up to Westbrook and puts both hands on him. The stupid part came with Westbrook deciding to try and sell it as a shooting foul a half second too early. I've seen Chris Paul do the same thing a couple of times this year from around halfcourt. He's just gotten the foul call every time. Westbrook shooting a little too early allowed Neal to hold back from making a little too much contact to make the foul obvious.

Now, I do agree with those saying the refs shouldn't have called the foul there. Gary Neal was going to foul, and actually got both hands up and on Westbrook's torso, but Russ just shot the ball a little too early. I don't blame the official for not calling the foul. It was the right no-call.

Yeah, he was clearly trying to get the 3 shots there. Not really that big a deal. ISH is way too hard on Westbrook.

Like I said, I've seen Chris Paul do almost this exact same thing, from right around halfcourt, 2 or 3 time this year. Difference is, he got the foul call (no shots were awarded) and he's Chris Paul, so no overreaction.

[imdaman99]

its the same band of trolls that get on his case. maybe they are bored because their favorite player is injured for 3-4 weeks again :roll: either way, yeah it was a dumb thing by goatbrook. but he was carrying them in the 3rd quarter and was unstoppable. neal was probably going to foul him to get someone in the game to guard him.

Without Durant in the lineup Westbrick's FG% would drop below 40% shooting. Thats a fact.

LOL at bringing CP3 into this. He would never ever act this retarded. If he wants to draw the foul mid court, he would do this by passing to the nearest teammate so that if a foul doesn't get called, he can still continue the play

But heaving a mid court shot with 20 left on the shot clock is plain stupid and there are fools who think he is the best "Point Guard" :oldlol:

He's not a distributor, he's a scorer. He's not Lebron, he's Kevin Durant.

Westbrook having the ball in his hands is a blessing and a curse at the same time. You realize he can control the game without taking so many shot attempts, right? The fact that he literally doubled up Kevin Durant's shot count last night @ San Antonio while getting pummeled by the Tony Parker-less Spurs is a problem.

[Kujo]

I'll say it again. Westbrick is going to either be the big reason why the OKC gets to the NBA finals (Duran't can't do it all himself), or the reason they don't.

[Legends66NBA7]

He chucked a shot he thought a got fouled on... okay great, he's a number of things from now on. An idiot, low IQ, he reflects his fans, etc...

The Thunder are still a Top 3 team and 2nd in the West because of Durant and Westbrook. Westbrook is still a Top 10 player. At times even outplays Durant on the court, but none of that ever gets talked about instead lets focus on all the negative he brings so that we can say "see, told ya !".

Watch him have a streak of great games after this and it won't get talked about. Either that, or this thread gets buried.

Not saying Westbrook is perfect either but people need to be a little more reasonable.

Also, not sure having your best wing player who is constantly fed the ball have an assist TO ratio of .5 is going to win you many rings. He's improved this year but he can't just be a scorer in the playoffs and expect to win championships.

I think coaching has a lot to do with things too. Brooks doesn't seem to have a coherent offensive philosphy and it can really hurt Durant and Westbrook, especially in the Finals.

Wrong. I've seen CP3 do the exact same thing several times this year, which means he attempted to shoot the ball in hopes of getting FT's out of it.

That's the product of having the greatest perimeter defender in the league guarding you for 5 games. And he was still able to put up big numbers, with the turnovers being the only downside. Not many guys can put up 30+ a game on Lebron so he's not just a scorer, he's a phenomenal scorer. But the next facet of KD's production is going to be adding something new to his game, whether its defensively, assisting his teammates (both which he has improved on this year), ect. But even with Durant and Westbrook playing at their highest level, it's still going to be a long shot to beat the Heat. They don't have enough, IMO. But, who really does?

[Celtic_Pride]

Wrong. I've seen CP3 do the exact same thing several times this year, which means he attempted to shoot the ball in hopes of getting FT's out of it.

That must be inside or at the 3 point line. Have you seen CP3 shoot the ball half court with 20 seconds left on the shot clock and expecting free throws?

I seriously doubt he does something this stupid!

[IGotACoolStory]

I didn't watch the game...

Why was Neal going to foul there?

2:30 left in the third quarter... Judging by how the defense is set, SAS probably just made a bucket so it's not like Westbrook was about to one man fastbreak that shit. He's just walking up the court, 20+ left on the shot clock, and Neal is going to foul?

What am I missing here?

This is how I feel. There are very few pg's in general, let alone young ones like Westbrook who are offensive savants who's precense makes the offense cohesive regardless of coaching. That's why the clippers can get away with such an incompetent coach in Del Negro.

Westbrook isn't that type of player (neither is Durant although he's much more than just a scorer on offense) and that's not his fault. OKC is so good because they out talent people and bring it every night. I feel like if they ran into Miami again they would again lose more times than not in a similar way as last finals where Harden Dissapeared and Miami outclassed them. This time Harden is gone, and I don't see how OKC can exploit Miami's weaknesses. I could be wrong though.

Imagine if Pop was coaching OKC? Dynasty.

Yes! And from around halfcourt. I specifically remember a game this year where he launched a shot right at the halfcourt circle as a foul was being called. The only difference is he shot the ball almost simultaneously as the whistle was being blown. Westbrook shot the ball last night about half a second before the whistle would've been blown. Neal runs right up to Russ and puts both hands on his torso, and was clearly getting ready to foul him. Watch the replay.

[StroShow4]

:roll: all these insecure Westbrick fans swearing cp3 has done this 3 times post the videos then.

Paul does do this, but he usually waits until he's heard the whistle.

[brandonislegend]

Paul does do this, but he usually waits until he's heard the whistle.

Yes that is different then just throwing up and hoping they blow it, everyone throws the ball toward the basket when they hear the whistle Kobe does it, everyone does it.

[KG215]

Yes that is different then just throwing up and hoping they blow it, everyone throws the ball toward the basket when they hear the whistle Kobe does it, everyone does it.
He wasn't just throwing it up "hoping for a whistle." Either you haven't watched the replay, or you've watched the replay and are purposely being stupid because you hate Westbrook. Neal was going to foul him. The Thunder TV guys last night said Popovich was telling Neal to go foul Westbrook as soon as he crossed halfcourt to either slow him down or get someone else in the game that could guard him better, because this was during the stretch where the Thunder closed to within 1 point and, in large part, it had a lot to do with Westbrook getting to the hole pretty much whenever he wanted.

He obviously should've waited a half second longer until he heard the whistle, but Neal was going to foul him.

I didn't have a favorite team before OKC, I just liked watching the sport from an objective point of view.

[elementally morale]

from an objective point of view.

That's an oxymoron right there.

[Cherry Picker]

Somewhere out there D Wade is thinking to pump-fake to draw a foul in the backcourt and somewhere out there a defender will fall for it.

Delonte West is a great counterargument.

I think what's most embarrassing is an NBA player would even try to draw a shooting foul from that distance... and actually believe he could get the call.
how is it embarrassing when the player was coming to foul him? he was trying to dupe the ref into giving him free throws instead of another team foul. surely, no one has tried that before. :roll: he deserved the call, didnt deserve free throws. i suppose he has committed a travesty. all players that flop to get calls are much better. the truth is spoken :applause:

[Jailblazers7]

:roll: all these insecure Westbrick fans swearing cp3 has done this 3 times post the videos then.

Yes that is different then just throwing up and hoping they blow it, everyone throws the ball toward the basket when they hear the whistle Kobe does it, everyone does it.
you're reaching there buddy. i know you have pretended to watch a basketball game before without anti goatbrook tinted glasses on, so perhaps you might have seen a kobe pump fake. defender jumps up, kobe jumps into defender assuming a call will be made. no call made, shot hits nothing but backboard. kobe looks at refs to say :kobe: why no call made? yeah, i suppose that is entirely different from this play. what a troll :facepalm

hes a troll. he never posts anything objective about westbrook. he is talking about insecurities, but he is rooting for a guy that might never play more than 60 games a season and is again out 3-4 weeks, and trolls the one guy that never misses a game. pot kettle black to that guy :bowdown:

Except he felt the contact first and actually got the call, how is that similar?

It's the same basic play, Westbrook just shot the ball too soon which is exactly what KG215 said like 3 times.

You know, sometimes it's ok to admit you're wrong instead of continuously backpedaling just because you don't like someone.

I am not backpedaling :roll: watch the videos you really think that is the same?

its the same play, just with better execution by paul

high IQ versus low IQ exactly. :cheers:

[Doranku]

How are those two plays the same?

CP3 did it when their team was up 1 and there was <10 seconds left in the game. Westbrook did it with 2:30 left in the third with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. :roll:

I think its funny people are trying to defend Westbrick in this situation, it is obvious he has the IQ of a potato.

And it's obvious that you're an ignorant asshat incapable of seeing past your personal biases against certain players to provide any sort of objectivity to the discussion.

The play that was linked on here where Chris Paul did the exact same thing, but with better execution, is just one time. I've seen a couple of games this year where he did the exact same thing. Dribbled across halfcourt, saw a player coming at him to intentionally foul for whatever reason (once it was in the first half I believe and the other team had a foul to give and were going to use it) and Paul jacked up a shot from around halfcourt. Again, for like the 5th time, you can CLEARLY see on the replay Neal ran right up to Westbrook and put both hands on him. He was going to foul. The OKC TV guys even said they heard Popovich telling him to go foul Westbrook. Westbrook, unfortunately, just mistimed the shot and let it fly a half second too early.

I'm not even really defending Westbrook. Maybe a foul should've been called but he shouldn't have been awarded shots. Paul wasn't given shots either time I saw him do it this year. I'm tired of seeing you needlessly rip on Westbrook, especially over something like this where, had the foul been called, it would've looked like a smart play. Then, when someone points out maybe the smartest PG in the league has done the same thing multiple times this year, you still refuse to accept that it's the exact same play but with better execution. And the better execution part has nothing to do with Westbrook's low basketball IQ. He just mistimed the shot. That's it. He was going to get fouled and, to be honest, there could've been a foul called since Neal put both hands on Westbrook's stomach as he elevated to shoot the ball.

OP is furious Westbrook is better than his hero Kyrie.

so which one is more likely to lose you the game if the ref doesn't blow a whistle?

pretty sure i seen cp3 turn the ball over with under 10 seconds left up 3, and lo and behold the spurs hit a 3 to tie the game on the turnover and end up winning the game in OT. i guess high IQ isnt always high IQ

Really? Are you that stupid? He still launched the ball just a few steps across halfcourt. It's not like he was just a few feet behind the FT line.

[Greg Oden 50]

I'm an OKC fan and Westbrook is my favorite player.

Didn't know a 60 year old man could be so childish.

You're a goofy fool. :lol

u re 2 yrs old baby

Eh well, Michael Wilbon might be an Irving fanboy/Westbrook hater ?

:lol

But yeah, I knew you meant Brandon. He contributes to everything anti-Westbrook. Westbrook would have to play perfect and it still wouldn't satisfy him.

Please explain what half court means. Look where Paul launched it from:

Not only you can't write correctly, but you can't see either. It's 3rd with 2:29 18 secs...

[Jailblazers7]

Sorry, I should have known that my video wasnt valid because CP3 didnt shoot from the exact same spot with the exact amount of time left. The video def doesnt show that CP3 has tried to draw similar fouls in the past, which was KG215's point.
