westbrook one of the worst decision makers....

He has Kevin Durant and Kevin martin! No excuse for jacking up long 2's with 2 defenders in his face and having that many damn TO's. Should've traded him and kept harden....

I tried to tell people during the offseason that he's not a point guard. Thunder have nobody to facilitate the ball.

Westbrick

Listen to chuck saying if the thunder don't win it all this year, its because Westbrook makes soooo many mistakes with the ball.

Good job Westbrook, following the ball instead of your man. He's like a lost puppy sometimes.

[Heavincent]

ISH users sure do love their overreaction threads.

[tikay0]

The whole inside the NBA crew saying what we all know. "He does not make his team mates better!". He needs to learn to differ to KD!!!!! Stop trying to be the man!!! Derrick rose would absolutely love to defer to a scorer like Kevin fuggin Durant, while racking up 20 assists a game!!!!!!!

The talent is comparable but the IQ is dramatically different.

It's the damn system genius.

Spurs run multiple screens early in the clock and get someone open, they have flow.
OKC dribbles the ball for 14 seconds then runs 1 screen and predictably ball handler gets doubled because no one cares about Perkins or Ibaka, so Westbrook has to chuck with low shotclock while Durant is getting pushed out to 3pt line by Jackson and struggling to get open for Westbrook to pass the ball. Russell made mistakes, but that comes from such terrible no ball movement offense, Brooks isn't maximising their potential. Perkins should never play so many minutes, his +/- is always horrible, play damn Collison. This loss is on Brooks, some on WB for sloppy ball handling and Durant for not getting open and being abused by Jackson. Not to mention refs were biased, that block by Ibaka was clean and WB/Durant could have had 10 more FTs.

Don't just blame Westbrook.

well thats what you get when you use your elite 2-guard as your point. Idc who says otherwise, he is not a point. He says he's a point, he "plays" the point but we all know what the deal is.

He got off to a pretty bad start last year too. Hope it isn't the case, but he may just be one of those players who gets off to slow starts throughout his career. Obviously it's not ideal, but some guys really good or great players just come into a season and look rusty and play poorly early in the season.

This is correct...and he is elite. He's more of a Wade type...OKC is gonna try to make him Arenas...Arenas playing PG is one of the great travesties of the past decade...no wonder basketball was so bad.

hahahaha.... repped!

[Graviton]

He averaged 8APG in his 1st two years as a playmaker with competent bigs, now Brooks is just running iso offense. Hard to be a PG with Perkins/Ibaka, and Durant is more of a 1on1 scorer, no PG needed. The team needs a smart big man that can score and be mobile to open up the lanes. As is no one honors Perkins/Ibaka, Westbrook gets doubled and turns it over.

If only Harden was still there.
