How was CP3 ranked 2nd and Westbrook 4th?

[Im Still Ballin]

This is pretty ridiculous. Westbrook smoked him in the playoffs.

This is pretty ridiculous. Westbrook smoked him in the playoffs.

If you have a really substantial data set and you trade it all away for a small, anecdotal subset you are doing it ALL WRONG.

[ralph_i_el]

Because CP3 is better at basketball.

Pretty close head to head playoff stats over 6 games imo:

Cp3 22.5 pts on 51% shooting.
11.8 apg
3.7 rpg
2.5 spg
2.3 tpg

Russ 27.8 ppg on 49% shooting
8.8 apg
6 rpg
1.8 spg
4.2 tpg


Russ was a beast in the playoffs, but Cp3 has been a beast for a long time.

Because he's slightly better...Who was #3?

[sammichoffate]

Because he's slightly better...Who was #3?Davis

[Im Still Ballin]

They are definitely jumping the gun on Davis IMO.

[sammichoffate]

They are definitely jumping the gun on Davis IMO.I put Griffin ahead of him for now, they put him 5th. Aldridge was also put pretty low in comparison.

CP3 is a much better player. the real question is what is westbrook doing at 4 hes bottom top 10 at best
CP3 torched westbrook in the playoffs too did u forget the 1st game? okc put westbrook on redick and thabo on cp3 after and redick was still scoring good

Dude cmon, I get it you are a big CP3 stan, but you don't even deal with facts at this point.

CP3 got 1 fluke game that he will never have again where he shot 8/9 from 3, that was some historical once in a lifetime type shit. But what did happen AFTER that first game?

17/10/5 on 46% in a loss
21/16/2 on 50% in a loss
23/10/5 on 43% in a win
17/14/4 on 37% with 5 turnovers in a loss where Paul tried flopping for free throws, got it stolen by Westbrook, then fouled Westbrook on a 3 and gave away the game single handedly.
25/11/7 on 50% in a loss <-his only other "great" game outside Game 1

Westbrook after Game 1...

31/10/10 on 59% in a win
23/13/8 on 50% in a win
27/8/6 on 45% in a loss
38/6/5 in a win where he was blowing by Paul at will (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzb8NElNEDE)
19/12/3 on 4/15 shooting but 11-12 from FT line in a win<- His only "bad" game in the whole series.

So what you are telling me after seeing the above numbers and watching the series is Paul "torched" Westbrook? Like could you go into detail as to HOW he torched Westbrook? Because according to all objective criteria it was Westbrook that "torched" Paul. :confusedshrug:

[#number6ix#]

Paul is better than Westbrook he plays with so much skill and poise... Whenever I watch westbrook I find myself thinking how out of control the guy is with his emotions and his play... Westbrook is a talented kid but until he gets control over himself he will never be better than Paul

[JohnMax]

It's official durant has a top 5 player on his team.
No excuses this year.

[NZStreetBaller]

Wtf with using stats in certain games to compare the players. How is this even a question. Chris paul is a much better player then westbrook.

Westbrook wins because he has durant in his team.

Cp3 is his team leader and the role of primary playmaker he also has a much much higher b ball I.q.

Westbrook is just a highly athletic 2nd scorer to durant who gets away with dumbass decision because he puts up good numbers and has durant to carry a massive load.

I swear westbroom is quickly becoming the most overrated player on this board. Right when people started saying westbrook > durant wtf

Durant have someone who can score 40 points in the finals and that guy crushes the guy who, (according to the rankings), has a top 5 player, a top 5 coach, a dpoy & 6th man candidate playing by his side. Still not enough to win the west.

Yeah and?? Westbrook lost with durant doesnt make westbrook better.... scoring 40 point in one finals game doesnt stand for anything just means he had a good game which just so happens to be a finals. Nothing you said makes westbrook a better player then durant....

[Lebronxrings]

The media needs to hype up a LA player for marketing purposes. Kobe was the golden child before and now with him declining, cp3 has taken that spot.
