Westbrook has Durant, Paul has advantages everywhere else. You are on crack if you think Westbrook has a better supporting CAST, supporting PLAYER maybe, but not a ****in CAST. Most would agree.
How about you take back Perkins along with Ibaka, Martin and Thabo and give us KG, Lee, Green, Bradley. OKC has an amazing supporting cast afterall. :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
You are a fool if you think Paul has better supporting cast than Westbrook. Give Durant, 2 good shooters in Ibaka and Martin to Paul and he will be unstoppable and OKC will be obvious favorites to win it all.
The biggest difference between the 2 is when an offense stagnates, Paul knows what to do and will make something outta nothing. Westbrook on the other hand....
Give Durant to Celtics and you can take all 13 players. That's how good Durant is!

Re: Russell Westbrook
[QUOTE=brandonislegend]Really you didn't even post Durant, he is a top 2 player in the NBA. It's like LeBron you would take him alone over multiple players. But we can agree to disagree, atleast you are using some logical points and not resorting to personal attacks.... :cheers:[/QUOTE]
Yea, while I kinda hate you, you can be reasonable when you want to.
Though why do you troll Westbrook so hard, I remember before you said he is a great player that should just play SG. But you accepted the fact that OKC's lack of ball handlers puts him in that position. Afterall Durant is even worse than Westbrook when he tries to go Lebron and play PG.

He would be decent as a SG, the thing is with his EGO he would never let it happen, that even YOU have to admit. That is the problem right there.
And I agree with the Durant part.

You say that after Durant got so exposed today? :oldlol:
He is not THAT good. He is an amazing scorer, that's it. And the ref help can't be ignored either, even I can't act like it's not true.
Durant isn't a good defender, or rebounder for his size, or a passer/playmaker. His deficiencies may not be exposed vs West teams that play crappy defense. But vs East and especially against Miami you see what Durant brings to the table, just scoring. Can't believe you would trade KG, Rondo, Pierce for Durant. The same group of guys that gave Heat a tougher series and fought hard. All for the guy that was completely exposed in the Finals by the same team as just a one-dimensional scorer.

He is averaging 51% FG, 90% FT, 2 three pointers made, 29 points, 8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.2 blocks on the season man, that is impressive. Top 2 player right now regardless of shitty game today.

Re: Russell Westbrook
[QUOTE=Mr. Jabbar]OKC will NEVER win it all with Westbrook. Abysmall IQ, moves 10x faster than he thinks.[/QUOTE]
Verbatim the truth.
He's dumb as hell. Can't think the game out at all, which is a necessity for a PG. A innate feel for the game, understanding the ebb and flow.
When to take shots, when to distribute, who has it going and when to get them the ball. BE COACHABLE. All things Westbrook is not. His redeeming qualities of athleticism, durability, and streak scoring do not justify all his glaring flaws.
A volume scoring SG who can't shoot, playing PG ... sounds like a GREAT idea.
All that and he has some kind of awkward ghetto social disorder, gets mad and is a pissy little spaz of a teammate, and let's his emotions control him like a female. Plus, his fashion sense is horrendous.
UrkelBrook gonna Urkel.

Exactly. he can have 35/8/6 and still lose you the game.
And in his time in the league, I haven't seen enough improvement in his attitude to suggest that he will grow out of his knucklehead ways

[QUOTE=brandonislegend]:roll:[/QUOTE]
Finally he has a bad game in 2 months and you get to bump, I was starting to worry about your mental health if he didn't.
Can't be mad about this one though, was in Memphis on a B2B after losing to Denver in a high pace game. Tonight everyone played like Westbricks, including the opposing team. Both squads shot 35%, at least Westbrook made 4 clutch free throws that coulda won the game in regulation, plus the last shot in OT to put them up by 1 til the Gasol tip in.
He has still played better than Durant since the All-Star break and carried the team. They just gotta work on their horrible hot potato ISO ball in the clutch. And kill Perkins/Fisher.

I can't refrain from ignorant posts like that.
You think this guy is some sort of natural god like talent? He has worked his ass off for what he has.
The guy couldn't dunk until his senior year in high school, and today he is considered one of the best dunkers in the league.
He was born with relatively average basketball skills, and has been relentlessly working his whole life to be in his position.
Has the gifts to be amazing? Waste of a player? Shut the **** up.
