Re: Building a Franchise: Kyrie Irving or Russell Westbrook
[QUOTE=brandonislegend]What? Why are you being so butthurt? everything I said was a fact look at the stats and look at NBA.com MVP race. I am not a OKC fan or Heat fan I don't really care. You seem so butthurt :roll:[/QUOTE]
Anyone that believes Durant is the best player in the NBA is missing a chromosome. But than again, you are the same poster that said Irving is leaving after his rookie contract. So obviously you have no idea what the f.uck you're talking about

He is leading the MVP race at the moment so I guess you know more than everyone, and I said if the Cavs don't make any big moves by the time his contract is over he will leave.

How is Kyrie a loser? He is one of the most clutch players in the league.

yup.
Re: Building a Franchise: Kyrie Irving or Russell Westbrook
[QUOTE=brandonislegend]I played basketball at a D1 school, and I coached basketball last year, when I see a point guard make dumb decisions all game and take stupid shots, and on top of that take more shots than the best scorer in the league almost EVERY single game, I am sorry that's not the way a point guard is suppose to play. I don't know how much more logic you need.[/QUOTE]
This ain't the 80s coach Nick. There is no proof that pass first superstar point guards win championships. No magic Johnson around. You act like Durant isn't leading the league in scoring every year. Didn't know you and Joyner were the same person. Oh let me guess, you want Durant to average 40. Because he will still have the energy to close teams out down the stretch than. Keep up the Westbrook hate :applause:

There is no reason why a point guard that shoots 41% from the field should shoot more shots than the best scorer in the NBA. I don't know how hard that is to get. I hate OKC though so I hope Westbrook continues to play this way :)

Yeah because OKC went to the finals despite what Westbrook did. Stay smart :roll:
Btw nice clutch stat line. Noticed who's #4? No you didn't. Once again, stay smart
Re: Building a Franchise: Kyrie Irving or Russell Westbrook
I thought it was a thread bump by Brandon because he made a similar thread, but the answer is still Westbrook for me.

Kyrie is averaging 16 more points per 48 and is shooting 54.4% compared to 49.3% and he has no Kevin Durant commanding attention from him :confusedshrug: teams usually deny Durant the ball cause they want Westbrook to shoot or make a decision. If you look he leads the whole list in turnovers as well.
Re: Building a Franchise: Kyrie Irving or Russell Westbrook
[QUOTE=TheMarkMadsen]Kyrie and i don't think twice about it.
Has that rare ability to be a go to scorer while also having control of the team/making smart plays
he's like a pass first shoot first point guard.
[B]Kyrie has the potential to a 28 5 8 guy during his prime[/B][/QUOTE]
You mean like what Westbrook is just about averaging now? Westbrook is averaging 24/5/8/2 ATM as a second option. I love Kyrie, but I think Westbrook has a better all-around game. Much better on the boards and a much better defender than Kyrie. Kyrie is more efficient though.
Re: Building a Franchise: Kyrie Irving or Russell Westbrook
So since there's a lot of people supporting Irivng in this thread, I ask this same question again in the other thread:
Build a franchise: Derrick Rose (pre-injury) or Kyrie Irving ?

That's fair, but you have to take in account he has Ibaka behind him and Perkins (even though he sucks) is still more intimidating than Thompson and Zeller :roll:

What does this matter? Do you have a time machine?

I honestly don't see how you could choose other wise.

Matters a lot.
Obviously I do, just don't want to use it.
