Russell Westbrook's week: Four games, 34.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 2.5 steals, 50% on FGs, 36-of-38 on FTs, 3-1 record.
Best player in OKC.

Most entertaining player in sports entertainment :pimp:

[Dragic4Life]

True leader of Thunder.

4-5 in last nine games?

Lost to the Knicks?

Empty stats.

That's how this is played right?

[Joyner82reload]

Interesting that he's playing so well, yet the team is still losing games.

Meanwhile last year, the exact same lineup minus Westbrook+a healthier Durant, won 28 of 40 games while Durant averaged almost those same numbers. Except that was for half of a season, not 5 games.

[Dragic4Life]

Hands down best player on the Thunder.

Bear in mind this is only the RS, we all know Westbrook turns Beast-mode in the PO and absolutely take over. Scary.

[beastee]

These agenda troll threads get so old. All to take KD down a notch in the best player in the league talk against almighty lebron. WB is a great player who takes shots away from a generational type offensive player. If you took WB off this team, Durant is by far the best offensive player in the league. If you take KD off, Westbrook will play great, but I doubt he would be the best player in the league, and would continue to show stretches of inefficiency.

He better slow his role...might not make it to 30.

[HOoopCityJones]

Russ will get his due for his amazing play once he and Durant part ways, this is Shaq and Kobe all over again, but they haven't won shit yet, so that would make them more Shaq-Penny, which I hope isn't the case for Westbrook's sake.

If Westbreezy had a team built around him, I think he might legit be the best player in the league and snag some MVP's.

[beastee]

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/why-kevin-durant-s-streak-of-topping-25-points-per-game-matters-202239228.html

Michael Jordan was ridiculously efficient that year, but he also shot nearly 28 times a game. Kevin Durant isn’t even shooting 21 times per game to get his league-leading 32 points a contest, and he’s taking efficiency to otherworldly levels. The man registers an assist on 25 percent of the possessions he uses up. His True Shooting Percentage is above 64 percent. He nails more than half his shots from the field, more than 40 percent of his bombs from long range and more than 87 percent of his free throws.
Last year KD was better.

[Lexington Steel]

Kevin Durant is still the best player in the world, baby.

Love can put up 30 and 30, empty stats.

Harden can put up 35/10/10, empty stats.

Lebron can put up 30/15/10, empty stats.

But if Westrbook puts up solid numbers and his team is in a nose dive, hes the best PG in the league.

And they are 4-5 over the last 9 games.

Westbrook hasn't missed a game in quite some time, so you can lick his ball sack for his 4 game stretch if you want, but hes averaging 28, 8, 7 (which is awesome) over their last 9 games, in which they've lost more than they've won (which is not so awesome).

If you're not a fan of the 4 game sample, why stop at 9? Why not consider the entire season?

They're 22-14 (50 win pace) with Westbrook, 4-11 (22 win pace) without. They lose 6 out of 7 before Westbrook's return, and upon his return immediately win 8 out of their next 9.

Empty stats doe.

Series stats:

Westbrook: 27/6/7/3 on 54% TS

Parker was literally a liability for his team. Without Westbrook OKC might've lost in 5 or been swept. Westbrook absolutely shat on Parker's soul that series, it's not even close.

[ninephive]

At least he wasn't warming the bench due to lack of productivity and being embarrassingly outplayed by the guy he was guarding :roll:
"Outplaying" means shooting the ball 23 times (including 6 three pointers), getting bailed out with 18 free throw attempts, and still only going for 34 becuase you shot such a terrible percentage from the field? Not to mention the absolute collapse in overtime. Honestly, how do you MISS 6 shots in overtime? How is that even possible. You're missing more than a shot a minute!

[imdaman99]

Hahaha the same guy who led the Spurs in scoring the next series in the Finals? But yah...sucks he missed one half of a game with an injury. Good thing it wasn't bad enough to keep him from his 4th ring.
He scored all his points in garbage time in the Finals, he was literally the Lebron of the Spurs. They would have won in 5 if he didn't play a single minute that series. That's how important he is to the success of the Spurs, his backup was the guy that was in when the Spurs went on huge runs. Do you need stats? :oldlol:

You don't seem to understand the term empty stats. If you produce 50 wins, you're not putting up empty stats.

Unless you put up a dud in the playoffs every year and bottom out. I'm sure you're experienced in this. Westbrook is not.

They probably would have won in 3 without their leading scorer for the Finals and entire playoffs, including being their only All-Star and All-NBA player. So, the player who lead them in scoring and assists in the regular season and postseason (which he does pretty much every season). Oh and the fact that Tim and Pop both call it Tony's team, etc, etc, etc.

[ninephive]

I honestly hope Westbrick keeps getting gaudy stats so he keeps the ball out of the hands of the MVP even more this postseason! It's true he "destroys" Parker and typically almost 40% of his shots actually go in while he's destroying him.

[Milbuck]

Parker - 49.3% shooting
Westbrick - 40.7% shooting

Wait, who was the liability?
Tony Parker, the guy who was getting destroyed by his matchup so ruthlessly that his coach benched him.

Parker - 52% TS
Westbrook - 54% TS

"Westbrick" scored more efficiently on literally twice the volume :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

How many of those games did Durant not play in as well?

All of them?

So they are a 22 win pace team without him and Durant? That seems about right.

Get Roasted :roll:

And quit trying to twist facts around.

OKC is 6-4 with Westbrook playing and Durant not.

6-4.

And three of those 6 wins were against the worst teams in the league, NYK, LAL, MIN.

No one's lying here :oldlol:

Literally all that's going on here is that you're so insecure about people clowning Harden that you're trying to convince yourself that Westbrook is somehow putting up empty stats, which is a RETARDED assertion.

I hate to break it to you, but even if Westbrook was putting up empty stats right now (which he's obviously not), the reason people would give him the benefit is because unlike Harden, he hasn't completely shat the bed in his last 3 postseasons. Westbrook's playoff run last year shits on anything Harden has ever done in his life. So if this whole garbage argument by you is linked to that, get it out of your head because the two situations aren't even remotely similar.

[Milbuck]

There's nothing funny about the stat, it's just one of the many stats, along with the eye test, that irrefutably confirms that Westbrook destroyed Parker last year and it wasn't even close. The only thing funny here is you being in complete denial about it.

And then after getting done destroying him, Westbrook went home and watched Parker play another NBA Finals for the second year in a row. Face it, the Spurs have a gameplan...let the cancer shoot. The last 2 seasons, Westbrook was the Thunder's 11th best FG%. There's almost no one on the squad you would want shooting except him if you're the defense! He's one of the worst cancers in the league and it usually shows greatest in the playoffs (especially at the end of games when you need smart basketball).

Then why did you have guys like Barkley, Bayless, Hollinger, etc all calling Parker the best PG in the game last year? Maybe because he bailed the Spurs out of a Game 7 against Dallas? Maybe because he exposed Damien Lilliard for the defenseless player he is. All on a bad hamstring that caused him to sit a game in Portland and a half game in OKC. These guys understand a little more than guys on a forum, which is why they didn't try to pretend Parker wasn't injured. How could you even think of getting a job like one of them have if you won't even acknowledge an injury, but deny it like a 3 year old child. "No! He wasn't injured!"

Westbrook attempted 50 MORE FGs than Parker ... and only made 50 total!

[ninephive]

And anyone who understands TS% knows how in the hell Westbrook could have possibly had a better TS% than Parker in that series: becuase it's overinflated becuase Westbrook took 57 free throws to Parker's 7 (hahaha how ridiculous is playing the Thunder!) Anyway, that's why most people and networks don't use TS% becuase it's overinflated towards free throw shooters. That's why most people use FG%. But I understand when your raw stats are that bad, you've got to go digging in the "advanced stats bin" to find something redemptive.and you did! Westbrook was a better volume free throw shooter than Parker!

[pauk]

That is some Oscar Robertson shit right there. :eek:

No, he sat out a game in the series prior for the same injury. Nice to see you started watching basketball in the WCF last year.

Yes, the guy with 1,000 analytical videos on the game and 200,000 subscribers. That's the guy. I'm just continuing to give you guys sources of basketball analysts a bit more reputable than ISH posters who don't think Russell Westbrook is as good of a point guard as Tony Parker. It shouldn't be real hard considering their resumes.

[Smoke117]

These Westbrook threads really make me laugh...they just cycle over and over...and the reason they do that is Westbrook does the same. He plays great for a stretch and then he slumps for a stretch. Repeat, rinse. We'll be back to the Chuckbrook and Westbrick talk soon enough I'm sure. He did have an awful January after all...an entire month averaging 21 points on 20 shots. (.376%fg)

No one credible thinks Parker is the best PG. That's ridiculous.
