OKC is not better without Westbrook

[100%duncan]

Ya'll can say all you want tbh. This dude gets criticized for his chucking, being a bitch and a monkeyballer and I'm one of his biggest haters. But without him OKC has gotten weaker. He doesn't make his teammates better but the team is certainly better with him. Durant will be forced to carry a more offensive load. And the supporting cast will crumble under the pressure of making up for Westbrook's absence. You will see it when all is said and done.

[OKC]

Yeah there's no way OKC is better without him. Now honestly I can see OKC still having a remote shot at making the WCF without him but I don't see them getting past SA without him. Jackson's a solid PG though. I think he could raise a few eyebrows potentially

Don't see them having an easy time against LAC with Paul and Bledsoe free to punish the Thunder on the perimeter.

CP3 is going to punish those scrub pg's tbh. :lol at the thought of fisher guarding him

[Bill_Brasky]

From what I've seen of Reggie Jackson this year, he seems to be a very solid player. He is no Westbrook though, I can see him struggling a bit when the pressure gets turned up.

[AaronY]

Jackson's a solid PG though. I think he could raise a few eyebrows potentiallyI'm not familiar with him..what is his skill set, strengths, weaknesses etc?

[OKC]

I'm not familiar with him..what is his skill set, strengths, weaknesses etc?

6-3, 208, freakish wingspan. Highest vertical leap on the OKC roster. Not suggesting a vertical leap makes you a great ball player, just trying to paint a picture of his skillset. The stats won't show it now due to limited minutes, but he has the skillset to be the best rebounding point guard in the league. Smart player, sets up guys well. Definitely takes what's given to him. Does not force things. Has shown great ability to finish at the rim whether it be with touch or power. Average perimeter shooter, but a better 3 point shooter than Westbrook. Weaknesses - he's young and has no playoff experience.

[Indazone]

OKC loses 10-15 points without Westbrook and subbing in Jackson. It's on!

It's not really that simple. I don't think you'll find many people who think Houston is as good as OKC is, even without Westbrook.

[Proxy]

Who says they're better without him?

[100%duncan]

It's not really that simple. I don't think you'll find many people who think Houston is as good as OKC is, even without Westbrook.

Houston is definitely still not as good as OKC but don't sleep on this series just yet imho. Without Westbrook things can get pretty ugly for the Thunder.

[100%duncan]

Who says they're better without him?

A lot tbh. Leading them is DMC. Sup nigga.

[OKC]

Who says they're better without him?

People who think Westbrook is a chucking ball hog, I guess.

[OKC]

The talk is with Jackson, but don't forget there's old man Fisher on the bench too. Yeah..he's 38, but in terms of a guy who's heady and can find the open shooters and who can handle playoff pressure, he's a pretty good option.

[100%duncan]

People who think Westbrook is a chucking ball hog, I guess.

No offense bruh but he is though as I said in my first post he doesn't make his teammates better but he certainly makes OKC better.

[BUMP]

And the supporting cast will crumble under the pressure of making up for Westbrook's absence.

Do you have facts to support this claim? Did you go into the OKC locker room and interview each individual player to gouge their personality types? Were they right brain/left brain thinkers? What degree they had in college? I'm curious to see the fact to back up such a claim.

[Proxy]

People who think Westbrook is a chucking ball hog, I guess.

I feel he isn't smart enough to understand when to defer to KD, but it's entirely idiotic to take that one fault and magnify it to the point where someone would try and justify OKC being better off without him.

[OKC]

No offense bruh but he is though as I said in my first post he doesn't make his teammates better but he certainly makes OKC better.

THat doesn't offend me. Ive watched Westbrook since day 1. We've all wondered at times what the results in year 1 would have been if Earl Watson were out there instead of Westbrook - but wins didn't matter that season, we were just grooming players. THen we all sat and wondered at times what would happen if Eric Maynor were given more of Westbrook's minutes. As great as Westbrook is, he still leaves you scratching your head at times. I guess now we'll see what happens.

[OKC]

I feel he isn't smart enough to understand when to defer to KD, but it's entirely idiotic to take that one fault and magnify it to the point where someone would try and justify OKC being better off without him.

They're not. I don't know how anyone could think that. What I do believe though is that Jackson is way better than some people realize. Whether he brings it or chokes under pressure we'll have to find out.

You can type therefore you are not blind. You know the rest. :hat

[100%duncan]

I still think OKC has this series though it will be harder than they want it to be. IMO, Westbrook's loss will be exposed on the 2nd round or WCF if they get there.

[DMC]

OKC is undoubtedly a better team without Westbrook. They may not have better results, but as a team they are better because Durant will fortify Ibaka and Ibaka will fortify Collision and Collison will fortify Martin and Martin will Fortify himself more than he should. There are other fortifications going on as well.

In all, fortifications will outnumber knee surgeries, and the eventual outcome will show that OKC would be better if they did not have a chucking PG.

And the supporting cast will crumble under the pressure of making up for Westbrook's absence. You will see it when all is said and done.

Did you really need to make a thread for your opinion instead of just sharing it in the 3 or so other ones? And no shit pretty much any same person would agree with you; the only thing positive for OKC is that it might encourage some maturity growth.

[log in/log out goods]

Solid prediction by da bank manager so far, tbh fwiw, [img]shaq-on-dudley.gif[img] etc

[Brunodf]

40 pts in the 1st quarter without their top 2 scorer...

[Monster1776]

Was this thread meat to be read sarcastically?

[Venti Quattro]

They're not bad without Westbrook, because Durant is gonna absorb most of the shots that Westbrook will take (or chuck), but ultimately they'll need him vs San Antonio.

[TrainOfThought5]

That Kawhi v Durant matchup will be one for the ages.

[benstanfield]

They aren't getting past round 2. Beating the team that literally doesn't call plays is one thing, winning an actual playoff series with only 1 real scorer is another.

[100%duncan]

OKC is undoubtedly a better team without Westbrook. They may not have better results, but as a team they are better because Durant will fortify Ibaka and Ibaka will fortify Collision and Collison will fortify Martin and Martin will Fortify himself more than he should. There are other fortifications going on as well.

In all, fortifications will outnumber knee surgeries, and the eventual outcome will show that OKC would be better if they did not have a chucking PG.

But isn't that the goal in this universe? In this league? You build a team to WIN and WIN only.

[100%duncan]

Again I don't expect Houston to win this series though I may have been wrong about Houston making it harder than OKC expected. 2nd Round will be the test for OKC and WCF if they get past CP3 without an all-star guard.

EDIT: I just woke up and just saw the results of LAC MEM, damn OKC might get away with Westbrook's loss if Memphis wins the series imho.

You saw tonight that OKC has no options. They need options. Durant and Westbrook cannot be their only options. They are a better team without Westbrook because that forces them to find other options on offense. Thabo is a cowardly faggot who refuses to do anything and makes shitty decisions. Scott Brooks cannot coach to save his life, and had Fish not hushed the crowd with his FTs tonight, Brooks might have been fired.

DMC man saying they need more options when you stated that OKC is better without Russell kinda contradicts tbh. Yes they need more options and they lost the 2nd most important one on their team. I don't think Kevin Martin can be relied on to pacify Westbrook's lost and if you think Fish can continue to bail them out then you're out of you're mind. And yes Brooks is a horrible coach and he just lost a player who hasn't missed a game since he entered the league, he just lost a player that plays big minutes. As we all know Scott Brooks doesn't like adjustments in the case of his rotations and he has to now. That's why Westbrook is a big loss for them imho.

I don't think Kevin Martin can be relied on to pacify Westbrook's lost and if you think Fish can continue to bail them out then you're out of you're mind. And yes Brooks is a horrible coach and he just lost a player who hasn't missed a game since he entered the league, he just lost a player that plays big minutes. As we all know Scott Brooks doesn't like adjustments in the case of his rotations and he has to now. That's why Westbrook is a big loss for them imho.

Russell is like training wheels on a bike. As long as he's there, they will never go full speed. When he's gone, they'll struggle for a while to stay upright, but eventually they'll be better off without him than with him. That's not to say they don't need a good PG, but they don't need a shoot first, 2nd and 3rd PG. They need a balanced scoring attack. Any team that has RW isn't going to have balanced scoring and RW isn't good enough to carry a team.

The big question is will they get past Clippers without him? I think that series will go wire to wire. And I think Brooks can't adjust as the playoffs is concerned. I think the "time" that they will struggle for a while is the time that they'll fall in the playoffs maybe in the next round or maybe in the WCF, what I'm saying is they will lose before they actually get better as you suggested, they don't have enough time to adjust the rotations, the plans. Brooks just can't do it considering how he plays his starters and stars heavy minutes. Time will tell but things certainly don't look good for them now IMO.

They won't get past the Clippers. However, were they to acquire a decent PG instead of waiting for RW to heal, they would eventually be able to compete against the Heat. RW needs to be a 2 guard somewhere, maybe even in OKC, but they need a PG who distributes the ball and they need people off the bench who make a difference. Martin is a chucker.

They were going to lose anyhow, it's just a matter of when. If they're serious about a title, they need to change. They're just pretenders even with RW.

no guarantee that the clippers get past memphis tbh

[OKC]

Good assessment from OKCs beat writer Darnell Mayberry (which I agree with) on the state of OKC's offense:

I’ll say this about the Rockets. They have a system, and even though it’s predictable and perhaps even gimmicky and not good enough to win big, it’s an organized approach that puts players in positions to succeed. Much of the Rockets’ comeback was a result of Houston’s players knowing where to be and when to be there. They knew who was going to get the shots and exactly how they were going to get them. The Thunder, on the other hand, unleashed what amounted to an anything-goes approach. There was no rhythm, no sets, no system. The offense basically became a gumbo pot of isolations, ball screens and bail-outs. Hard to make a case that it was that way because Westbrook was out. When he’s playing it’s generally even worse, though his amazing athleticism tends to make it look better. With the talent the Thunder has, it would be interesting to see what a more sophisticated system would do, especially for the team’s role players.

Agreed for the most part but I don't think they realize the difference. They will wait for RW to heal and be the same next season imho.

OKC getting this shit pushed to 6 without RW. Just like what I expected.

Though I stated earlier in this thread that the Clips would give OKC a much tougher match-up, I'd say I was wrong. The tables just turned upside down and the Clips just went from real threats to pretenders and the Grizz vice versa. I see a very vulnerable squad in the Thunder, a team that has just been exposed going against a squad that has regained their form. Let's see if the Grizz can actually take advantage of RW's loss and beat OKC.

See either of ya in the WCF :smokin

OKC is undoubtedly a better team without Westbrook. They may not have better results, but as a team they are better because Durant will fortify Ibaka and Ibaka will fortify Collision and Collison will fortify Martin and Martin will Fortify himself more than he should. There are other fortifications going on as well.

In all, fortifications will outnumber knee surgeries, and the eventual outcome will show that OKC would be better if they did not have a chucking PG.
Solid take

I dont think anyone saw this coming. Sure people said they were going to struggle but to this extent? Highly doubt that.

Durant and co just made Westbrook look 5x better than he actually is.

Also we now know who drives that team as well as who the real leader is.

C'mon you're lying to yourself if you thought Thunder would be this horrendous.

I understand a team suffering when they are missing one of their key guys but its something else entirely when players that usually play great start performing poorly. Both Durant and Ibaka shit the bed throughout this series. That's just not acceptable.

Sure they loss because they needed more help but what's the excuse for those guys playing like dog shit?

This Thunder team without Westbrook should have at least given Memphis a challenge.

Are you going say a single win is all they could have muster up prior to the series? Most people would have told you Grizz in 6.

So its not like they didnt have their chances.

That doesn't say that they won't be this bad. It's just that KD like I said isn't a leader. And emphasizes that RW's lost is a big one.

[100%duncan]

Ya'll can say all you want tbh. This dude gets criticized for his chucking, being a bitch and a monkeyballer and I'm one of his biggest haters. But without him OKC has gotten weaker. He doesn't make his teammates better but the team is certainly better with him. Durant will be forced to carry a more offensive load. And the supporting cast will crumble under the pressure of making up for Westbrook's absence. You will see it when all is said and done.

Nash & Hedo will be the goods, fortifying each other from the opening bell. Childress will blossom under the tutelage of Nash, as will Warrick. JRich is in his contract year.

The subtraction of Amare can't be minimized. He was terrible here, on both ends. Had no clue how to play NBA ball. He'll be fine in NYC where symbolism over substance is honored.

Also, and just a hunch, but, I feel "disaster" about to befall the Lakers. We're overdue for it.

"Russell is like training wheels on a bike. As long as he's there, they will never go full speed. When he's gone, they'll struggle for a while to stay upright, but eventually they'll be better off without him than with him. That's not to say they don't need a good PG, but they don't need a shoot first, 2nd and 3rd PG. They need a balanced scoring attack.

I think both of you are right.

100%Duncan is currently being proved right due to OKC choking and the fact that OKC is still shook up from the loss and clearly never recovered. But in the long run, you'd be right DMC.

OKC would be just fine during the course of the season. I'd say they would still be top 3 seed without question.

This was such a small sample size that we get too caught up in whose right and who's wrong.

Of course I am right. I didn't say they would beat Memphis without RW. There's no way to know if they would or would not even with RW. I said they will eventually be a better team without RW because RW takes too much of the offensive load and the team needs to be weened from having others do their work on the offensive end. You saw that in them when KD had to take the entire scoring load. Imagine a PG who can distribute the ball to guys like Thabo and Nick while those two are conditioned to score, not just look for Kevin or Russell. Hell, I've seen RW scream at Thabo because he's not accustomed to shooting the ball.

The short sighted "nuh uh" from dipshits like 100%Stupid are about like something you'd get from a plebe. Never once understanding the nature of my statement nor even trying to understand it, just running off at the cocksucker about the next series as if there are alternate universes where the outcomes of both scenarios are playing out, and he knows both.

He's wrong, I'm right. I was also right that the Lakers are better without Kobe. I didn't say the Warriors are better without Curry, but they would be better served if he reigned in some of those contested bombs.
