Russell Westbrook owned Mike Conley, Chris Paul, and Tony Parker in the playoffs...

[russwest0]

Imagine what he would have done to Mario fvcking Chalmers if OKC made the Finals :lol :lol :lol

I think he probably would have been Finals MVP lol. He was already the best player in the playoffs and then he'd be getting the ankle weights taken off and have an easy ass matchup after 3 tough ones :oldlol:

[imdaman99]

Chalmers + Cole + Wade = 18 fouls to give :eek: + 6 dirty fouls by Battier :eek:

Another day, another hypothetical Thunder scenario

[Meticode]

He owned them and still hurt his team. It's amazing how dumb of a basketball player Westbrook is sometimes.

The only series he lost was against the Spurs, and it had very little to do with him. So I guess, sure he hurt his team. But not more than he helped his team beat those other 2.

bran going 2for5
Kobe:
2/5
40% Alpha

Didn't Chalmers shut down Westbrook the last time the Heat and Thunder met? :oldlol: Even in 2012 Westbrook only had one good game against the Heat. Chalmers owns Westbrook's soul and is in his head big time! :rockon:

[ProfessorMurder]

They had to have ZBo suspended by the league to beat Memphis.

Spurs shit on them.

But sure, whatever you say.

[Dresta]

So he can beat up on tiny guards? wow, big surprise there :applause:

CP3 really got murked too, averaging only 23/12/3 on 61TS%

All this really shows is that CP3's repeated all defensive 1st team selections were a joke.

[SouBeachTalents]

Give LeBron prime Shaq and we'll see if he couldn't win 3 titles in a row

Chalmers owns Westbrook's soul and is in his head big time! :rockon:I know this may be a new concept for you, but 2 years of NBA experience does a lot for a 23-25 year old. And the 12 Heat as a team had the best trapping/ perimeter defensive system I've seen for a long time.

[Young X]

Chris Paul outplayed him 3 times in that series. That's not "owning" anyone. Only on ISH is 23/12 getting "owned".

:biggums:

[miggyme1]

really doesnt matter what westbrook does..that was the key the whole playoffs for the thunder...u expect westbrook to have the advantage at his position everynight..but when ibaka lays like shit..sefolosha is not playing well and kd is settling for jumpers,,thunder arent a championship caliber team.

same thing happened to the heat in the finals this year...bron had a pretty good finals...but his team was nowhere to be found.

i think going forward the thunder have to find a legit pg and move westbrook to the sg....it will make the thunder an even better team. we will see though

[russwest0]

Westbrook averaged 28/9/6 in that series and demolished Chris Paul in any big moments.

[knicksman]

too bad westbrook is on the same breed as robertson, iverson. Players who are selfish to hug all the stats thus making their teammates unhappy/worse. Theres a reason why OKC started losing once hes reinserted into the lineup. Theres a reason why robertson was a cancer and a career loser with only 1 50+ win team throughout his career. So as long as they have westbrook, theyre not going to win anything.

[TheReal Kendall]

Thunder wasn't gonna beat the Heat in the Finals.

[zoom17]

Westbrook was much better then Durant during the playoffs.

[SCdac]

Westbrook owned alot of great PG's this season, when he's on he's on, but still get the feeling he needs to improve his shot selection and decision making. The two-man game between him and Durant after all these years is surprisingly weak. Not all the blame on RW and KD, but I'd like to see Westbrook pick and choose when to be aggressive, ala Tony Parker the last 5-6 years.

[russwest0]

Thunder wasn't gonna beat the Heat in the Finals.

The Heat that could barely win 50 games in the shitty East this year?

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Like 6-7 teams out of the West would have beaten Miami in the Finals. I mean SOMEBODY had to represent the East in the Finals, so it is what it is.

[Heatles201]

but but but Rusell holds KD back!!!
smfh some of you agenda trolls need to get the story straight

KD has been the scoring champion 4 times so far and some people still think that Russ is holding him back :oldlol:

[Heatles201]

Its ridiculous. You see it all the time in OKC/game threads " Rusell know your job etc" its sickening. Dudes not a star he is a SUPERSTAR obviously KD is better in his own right, but this is a bad man

This is the most frustrating thing about late game OKC a lot of times. Once every few games KD and Russ will actually work together via screen & roll and it's basically unstoppable. It's usually an easy jumper for KD or something opens up for another player or Russ gets to attack.

And then they won't do it again for weeks. Back to the same "off ball screen for KD and watch or Russ has to shoot a bailout shot because the defense blows up the obvious play" shit.

[knicksman]

theres more to winning than stats. im sure jordan wouldve remained his 32/8/8 season if it was effective. Im sure magic could be like bran if he wanted to. But as he said, "Why not 2 players being happy instead of 1."If he plays like robertson/westbrook, a scorer wouldnt be happy playing with him. If jordan continued his 32/8/8, there would be no pippen. Theres a reason why russell/duncan were winners because they are unselfish. While players are unhappy playing with iverson/robertson thus making them losers. And same is happening with OKC right now. Theres a reason why role players couldnt get hot playing with westbrook. Theres a reason why they stopped playing defense when westbrook is reinserted. No touches=no defense.

Yup. Thunder making the Finals in 2012 is looking more and more like a fluke. Team hasn't done jack shit since. Thankfully, they had the refs to back them in the Conference Finals in 2012. This year, SA pummeled them into the ground even with the refs aiding OKC. Refs won't stop a great team.

OKC got outplayed by the Grizzlies in the first round and needed the refs to beat the Clippers. Take away the ref protection and OKC is a mediocre team.

Injury is the big reason why.

This. Seriously. I don't think I've ever seen OKC convincingly beat any team in a playoff series without the refs aiding them. They're basically a team manufactured by the NBA in an attempt to build a Lebron/Durant rivalry(trying to reinvent another Magic/Bird scenario). Difference is Lebron, Bird, Magic are all actually legendary players while KD is a rich man's Kevin Martin.

[KyleKong]

Imagine what he would have done to Mario fvcking Chalmers if OKC made the Finals

Lol, if.

[Artillery]

Injury is the big reason why.

Everybody is banged up come playoff time. If you want, we can make a significant injury list for every NBA postseason going back to 2000.

[Artillery]

Also what's so amazing about owning Mike Conley. Dude's like a career 13 ppg scorer. Outplaying Tony Parker? Big deal. Mario ****ing Chalmers outplayed him in games 6 and 7 last year in the Finals. TP's always been a choke artist in the playoffs.

Not surpised that a Thunder fan would look at individual matchups and already crown themselves make-believe champions. Their fanbase is a lot like their team. Also thinking about the individual instead of the team. Westbrook destroyed Parker in the Conference Finals. So what? OKC got blown out half the time in that series.

Difference from being banged up and not having guys in the line up.

[Lebronxrings]

russwest stay mad.

[Artillery]

Difference from being banged up and not having guys in the line up.

Playoff teams have been missing guys in their lineup for decades. But, yes, let's keep making excuses for the Thunder.

[Meticode]

The only series he lost was against the Spurs.
Well of course the Spurs were the only series, that's the series they lost. They can't lose the other series beforehand if they won them. :oldlol:

The free-throws burned them and the his historically bad shot selection.

Don't get me wrong, Westbrook has balls and great talent. He's a lightning rod, but sometimes he just plays way too out of control.
