If Westbrook is a better defender than Rose, then how come

[nathanjizzle]

Rose defended Curry better?

rose on curry 5/14, 19 points 7 assists
westbrook on curry 14/24 34 points 9 assists

[Taller than CP3]

that's because Rose is ill

[SyRyanYang]

lol one game

Also Curry uses screens a ton, it takes team effort to stop him.

Bulls have better defensive schemes than OKC.

only idiots think defending is a 1 on 1 thing.

Slayed.

Do you watch basketball games? 1 on 1 Westbrook would lock Curry up, but the use of team basketball where they run him through 10 picks will give him space + he has to depend on the big man on his team jumping out on Curry to help. Out of those 34 points, I don't think he scored half of those on Westbrook.

How about offense? How did Rose do on offense against Curry? Since this is black and white to you.

Just gonna leave this here....

So far this season, Derek Rose has held opposing point guards to effective field-goal percentage of 38.7% and a player efficiency rating of 13.0. His defensive numbers are good.

By comparison, Russell Westbrook has held opposing point guards to an effective field-goal percentage of 33.3% and a player efficiency rating of 10.9%. But the numbers for Russell Westbrook on defense are better.

Take that for what it is worth.

I do think it speaks highly of Russell Westbrook that his numbers are better than Rose and he doesn't have a benefit for playing for a defensive minded coach like Thibs.

Idk where you're getting your numbers from, but could you post Curry's defensive numbers?

I swear he's gotta be up there. Night after night, opposing PG's shoot poorly against him

Sure, the defensive numbers for opposing point guards against Steph Curry is 40.5% effective field-goal percentage and a player efficiency rating of 11.7.

Rose sucks, Westbrook is miles ahead of the guy. Deal wit it.

[MastaKilla]

Rose is getting better

Thanks! Looks like Curry has gotten pretty beast defensively.

Curry made most his damage last night against other guys. OKC kept trading on screens and Curry took advantaged of the other guys (specially Jackson) to score his points.

I really don't like those changes on screens but Brooks is a known idiot.
