LMAO Kyle on KD but Westbrook with the Kobe mentality.

[Obstructed_View]

That play where he thought he got fouled so he decided not to run back on D was an incredible display of how much he's matured as a player.

Spurs won by 4 after two late FTs.

Thanks Russ!

He did it twice. Both times resulted in a jumper made by Tony Parker. Five point swing.

[Tully365]

31 attempts....

[SAGirl]

LMAO Kyle on KD but Westbrook with the Kobe mentality.
I expected KD to go right at him but he didn't demand the ball either. That's as much an act of beta deferral as it gets too.

[UZER]

Will the real Russell Westbrook please stand up?

Ok, thank you.

[hater]

As I said he's our MVP this series :lol

the only coach who could (have) straighten this nigga is prime Phil Jackson..I'm not even sure Pop can put up with his act.

[Tully365]

21 missed shots (7 from three point-- why does a notoriously bad 3 pt shooter take 10 in an important playoff game?), 5 turnovers, multiple times not getting back on D... it was one thing when he was a young player, but there's just no excuse anymore. He'll never be a good decision maker.

He's ungodly inefficient, but he just puts so much pressure on the defense with his constant attacking, much like a great big can wear down your defense, he does the same.

[spursistan]

He's ungodly inefficient, but he just puts so much pressure on the defense with his constant attacking, much like a great big can wear down your defense, he does the same.
the dribble drive is still the name of the game (today's)..everything flows from there..he probably had a hand in 8-10 other easy baskets from the sheer defense breakdowns he causes just to mitigate his own inefficiency..

Warriors actually wish if it was the Spurs facing them because we couldn't score, and if we do, it was predictable AF...

You honestly can't see a basketball purist disliking Russ for basketball reasons? He shoots way too many threes, makes bad decisions late in games, has horrible body language... it has nothing to do with race. He's incredibly talented & incredibly athletic, but his intangibles are negatives to me, not positives.

[Tully365]

Plus, I'll say this: I don't really see Russ saying much that would scare people. He's a pretty standard post- Jordan player who doesn't talk politics/social issues etc for fear of losing endorsements.... Has Westbrook ever taken a public stand on a controversial social, like Bill Russell, Bill Walton, and countless others? The last guy I saw doing that was Steve Nash.

Bullshit, he's a modern day (with a bigger frame), glorified version of Allen Iverson. He'll give you insane out put statistically but at the expense of bone headed plays and complete inefficiency. His high motor and intensity will never make up for the fact that he isn't natural point guard and doesn't have a very high BBIQ.

As the "head of the snake," a majority of the blame rests on his shoulders. Just like when the Spurs fail, no matter who the best player on the team is, jackasses around here place the blame squarely on Tony Parker's shoulders (sometimes deserved like last postseason) without fail.

Although, most of the blame goes to (IMHO) management for failing to find a third star (:lol:lol:lol replacing James Harden's efficient, versatile production in OKC with Waiters, Kanter and Ibaka) and Roberson not being a good enough shooter to fully replace Thabo Sefolosha.

What the fuck are you on about? I haven't liked Durant in years. He went from being a cool guy loving the game of ball to an asshole who whined about every call about 3+ years ago.

[Tully365]

From OKC's perspective, this season has been a disaster in many ways, but the worst thing has been Westbrook's heroballing while Durant was hurt. The biggest problem this team already had was Russ wanting to shoot more than Durant, and now I'm sure he's more convinced than ever that he should lead the team in shot attempts. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if this is a bigger issue than ever next season, with the final result being that it turns out to be Durant's final season there.

:lol more and more media and sources reporting that Westbrook and his OKC teammates were growing unhappy with Durant..

The corny fans all over this thread want you to believe that Dominos wanted to get away from the "cancerous teammate", but the reality is that all the players on OKC's roster were growing frustrated with Durant's lack of leadership and quitting..

As Woj said on his show, today:

“And there’s no question, I know Russell [Westbrook] was bothered by — and other teammates were too — of, like, there was some knowledge there that Draymond [Green] was in contact with Kevin [Durant] all season long and they’re in a playoff series and I know there was some conversation around the Thunder team of ‘hey man, this guy kicked Steven Adams in the nuts twice in this series and what are you doing hanging out with this guy? What’s the relationship? We’re trying to beat these guys.’”

You can question Westbrook's shot selection, but you can never doubt his commitment to basketball, his energy level, his work ethic, etc..

He always plays at 100%, even in game 65 of the RS..he has returned from 2 major injuries without losing a step, he even once stayed on the court with a literal dent in his face:lol..

Strong like Donkey Kong.
Seriously though, yeah. He is up there with the generational talents and so much of that comes from the insatiable fire in his belly.
It would be fascinating to see how Pop would handle him once it gets down to the nitty gritty in the playoffs.

Try to put him on a leash? Let him go free, willy nilly?
Take the ball out of his hands to Kawhi, or (shudder) LMA? Or Pau?

Now he has a reason to hog the ball and hes got a good coach and team who made some good offseason moves. I also think Westbrook is oh so slowly, learning how to be a team player. I think they can still be good.

I have a thought that Donovan may be a bit hamstrung, coaching-wise, in that he will have orders to placate Westbrook, come hell, or high water this coming year, which might make the team suffer as a whole.
So although he may be a good coach, to which I agree, he may have some hurdles to jump over on top of his mission to win games.

Just a thought...

Westbrook FG% in the playoffs (last 5 playoff runs):

2012: 44%
2013: 42%
2014: 42%
2016: 41%

Average: 41%

The guy is a consistently terrible shooter in the playoffs (a little worse even than how bad he is in the regular season), so the last thing you want is him shooting a high volume, which is exactly what you get (21 shots a game on average).

This is why, even with the MVP and a stacked cast, the Thunder couldn't win a championship. And when Durant got hurt, Westbrook couldn't even make the playoffs. The guy is a ball domainant player who can't shoot and truly disappears at the end of games...well, actually it would be better if he disappeared. He actually shoots them out of close games. No thanks.

http://s5.postimg.org/rcwjg880n/RS_PO_BPM_differentials_worst.png


Might as well have all the data in one place.

http://s5.postimg.org/rey1k3i53/Parker_RS_PS_TS_Comparisons2.png

Just look at the dropoff in every advanced metric from season(RS) to post-season(PS).

19.0 PER RS
16.9 PER PS

.147 WS/48 RS
.085 WS/48 PS

109 ORtg RS
103 ORtg PS

.550 TS% RS
.515 TS% PS

32.7% Assist Percentage RS
27.7% Assist Percentage PS

1.2 BPM RS
0.2 BPM PS


This season's choke:

16.2 PER RS
15.1 PER PS

.142 WS/48 RS
.099 WS/48 PS

108 ORtg RS
103 ORtg PS

.546 TS% RS
.499 TS% PS

29.1% Assist Percentage RS
32.8% Assist Percentage PS (wow, he actually improved at something in the playoffs for once!)

0.1 BPM RS
-0.5 BPM PS

You brought up the top 10 points list. Lets look at the playoff efficiency(true shooting percentage) of all the players on that list(up to Tony) and see how Parker stacks up:

.568 - Jordan
.571 - Kareem
.541 - Kobe
.565 - Shaq
.550 - Duncan
.526 - Malone
.577 - Lebron
.541 - Jerry West
.498 - Havlicek
.551 - Bird
.515 - Parker

Everybody on that list has scored a lot of points in the playoffs on good efficiency. Except for the three bolded players. These three stand out as being considerably less efficient than the others. Malone is a reputed choke artist in the playoffs. His low efficiency reflects that. Parker's another one. Just more proof that these two are the biggest choke artists in post-season history.

How about we compare Parker's .515 TS% to other great PGs past and present:

.595 - Magic
.568 - Stockton
.583 - Nash
.578 - Billups
.577 - Paul
.515 - Parker

Poor Tony isn't even close. Then again, TP never was an elite point guard.

[Clipper Nation]

Here's the funniest part of all: "terrible shooter" Westbrook's career postseason TS% is .518. Not great, I'll admit, but still better than "head of the snake" Porker's .515 :lmao

[Leetonidas]

I'm sure his % would be a lot higher if he wouldn't take 5 retarded pull up jumpers a game tbh

In a hypothetical world where Parker is traded straight up for Westbrook, are the Spurs favored over the Warriors?

Depends where he goes when he's a free agent.. Star players don't win rings by themselves. Doesn't mean that he needs other stars but he will need a balanced team around him. I could see him getting 2 rings before he's done if the situation is right maybe more..

The only players to carry a team to a finals pretty much by themselves in the last 20 years are Tim in 2003 and Lebron in 2007

[tonight...you]

Does anyone know if Kawhi was in the room for the Spurs pitch to KD?
I could totally picture Kawhi walking into the room, 25 minutes late, without a word, and walks up to Durant and slaps him dead in the face.
Stares at him for a full three seconds before walking the fuck out.
Someone hear's the word "Bitch" being said softly from someone, somewhere as he leaves.

They just have opportunity to talk when they have obligation and commitments with Jordan that would otherwise probably not happen. They both don't seem like the kind of guys that would call each other on the phone and talk shop. Same thing with Aldridge and Kawhi during that offseason.

You talking KD and Russ? I agree. But I also think Russ is not some hermit that doesn't talk to other players either. He has dance routines with rookie teammates... He interacts.
That's what I'm saying. He's going to tell other players that KD is Bitchmade, and he'll be right and it just may be recognized by other players.

I meant Kawhi and Russ are both on team Jordan so they have opportunities to actually communicate.. Whether recruiting would come into it or not who knows but they have opportunities to at least discuss things and get to know each other. I'm sure Russ talks to his teammates and whatnot but he's not the kinda dude to have a ton of friends around the league. I'm sure he has guys he talks to but he's not about having friends on teams he's trying to beat.

Could play a role in recruiting him next summer.. Kawhi and him do a Jordan thing together and he asks him how's free agency going.. Kawhi mentions Parker on his way out and he'd be a good fit.. Plants a seed.

Predicting the upcoming season makes more sense than predicting the next 10 years of a player's career, though..

[spursistan]

Gotta believe Riley will go balls to wall to trade for him before the season...Miami is the one non-LA/NY market i could see him signing a long term deal in..assuming Bosh retires, Dragic part of the trade, they will have two young prospects Johnson/Winslow + Whiteside and cap space and good coach..they could be back to top 3 team in East with the right moves by 2017..

[TheGreatYacht]

Jalen Rose and Jacoby are filling in on First Take, and they said Westbrook needs to go to the Spurs, and it can happen if they include a third team in the trade.... And if OKC decides to keep him this year, then he should sign with San Antonio.

I know it's highly unlikely, but still, pretty cool that someone in the mainstream media is putting it out there.

Will try to link the YouTube video later when it's out

I like the possibility of Westbrook playing with Kawhi and LA. But it would mean trading key players to get it done, just to see him walk next season on free agency. I don't think any team would be in the right mind to do that. But wait there's Lakers and Clippers. :lol

Sucks seeing him out there with such a shitty supporting cast, tbh..not as bad as Cousins or Davis, but still, respect for sticking with those scrubs..

[GSH]

He shot 39% on 44 FGA in the game, 2-10 from 3P. Maybe he has to do it because his teammates suck. But maybe his teammates suck because he takes half the available shots, and mostly creates as an afterthought. I know, I know... he got 10 AST, and a triple-double. I guess if you can do that, your team doesn't need any chemistry - as long as you're playing Phoenix, anyway.

[SuperCam]

The only people who still think Stephanie Cucky is better than him are vanilla casual fans, tbh.

[Kawhitstorm]

53 true shots to score 51::lol

[GSH]

LMAO - do you guys even understand that he took a quarter of his shots last year from the 3P line, and shot .296? (Danny shot .332 from 3P last season, and people wanted him cut - or at least benched.) For his whole fucking career, Hardon shoots about .350 on his 2-pointers outside of 3 feet. If a whole team shot that shitty, they would never win a single game. Not one. Ever.

Anybody who wants to jack up that many shots, with that kind of shitty FG%? I'll take him on the opponents' team every time. You can talk all you want to about the good things he does. The bottom line is he jacks up a shitload of shots, at a percentage that loses games. But, damn, he looks good doing it.

No, just no. "Ball Hog," I mean Westbrook isn't better than Kawhi, Durant or Curry. His supreme athleticism, physical style and size make him one of the best players period, but he still is the ultimate "Hero Baller" and doesn't play with enough poise.

[J_Paco]

Better than Parker

No shit, Sherlock. There are probably 15 or more PG's better than Tony at this point. Thanks for that astute observation.

I would take at least 10 other PG's (all-time) in their prime over current day Westbrook. And truthfully he is probably more physically gifted or talented than most of them.

Funny, people laud over and praise Westbrook for the same sort of antics that Rondo, Marbury and Francis were hated/bashed for. He is going to wind up being this generation's Kobe Bryant, IMHO. And I don't mean thay as any sort of compliment.

[J_Paco]

Sucks seeing him out there with such a shitty supporting cast, tbh..not as bad as Cousins or Davis, but still, respect for sticking with those scrubs..

How many of those "shitty teammates" are lottery picks, Harlem? The team was going to take a huge hit talent wise once they lost Durant, but they still have a ton of quality big man depth (Adams is easily top 10) and young, athletic wings that can run with him.

He is just a glory hound simple as that. I hate that Durant took the "easy" route going to Golden State, waited until he was gone to finally admit playing with Russell isn't fun/was frustrating, but his style of play will likely never, ever lead to championships. Not unless he final takes a backseat to a more talented player, though the last 7 years probably prove that won't happen.

Perfect definition of his mindset and mentality: "now, I do what I want."

[GSH]

LOL... Westrbick now on pace to put up the third most shots in history, in a single season - the most in the modern era (due to decrease in pace).
His 44 shots in the last game would be on pace to blow away Wilt's all-time record, set in 1962.

And from this USA Today article:
http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/07/nba-oklahoma-city-thunder-russell-westbrook-shots

"During the Durant-less games over last two years, Westbrook averaged .677 shots a minute. Over 41 minutes, that works out to 27.7 shots a game, which just beats out Kobe’s 27.2 shots per game in ’05-06 and would work out to 2,271 shots over the course of the season. That would put Westbrook in the top-10 all-time, and it would be the only season after 1987 to make into that illustrious group.

We could be headed for the greatest season of chucking in modern NBA history."

Perfect definition of his mindset and mentality: "now, I do what I want."

They only have 2 other players that can create anything(Oladipo, Kanter), and Kanter can't play more than 20 MPG due to his historically bad defense..

They don't have a decent SF on the roster, too..Roberson had a nice 14-day stretch in the playoffs, but a couple of weeks doesn't erase an entire career of being a role player that literally has no offensive skills..he's not a starting caliber player(not even close, actually)..

Kyle Singler should not be on an NBA roster, let alone in an NBA rotation..

Steven Adams is a pretty good role player, a top 15 C, but can't create his own shot and isn't a defensive anchor..he's a worthy starter, though, I agree..

Overall, they have 4 notable players(Westbrook, Oladipo, Adams, Kanter) surrounded by a bunch of 10th-15th men..

I agree that Westbrook will never win a championship as the main guy, but doesn't change the fact that they are a poorly built team, at the moment..

Lee Jenkins of Sports Illustrated (http://www.si.com/nba/2016/10/19/russell-westbrook-thunder-nba-season-preview-kevin-durant):
Westbrook and Durant were not best buds, but they were peerless partners, a souped-up Stockton and Malone, transporting a mini market to the big time. Westbrook’s closest friends are actually former high school teammates, long-standing wing men like Donnell Beverly and Demetrius (Juice) Deason, who flank him in summer pickup games and play dominoes with him on the Fourth. “He didn’t talk much about what happened,” says Beverly. Westbrook didn’t disparage Durant. He didn’t judge him. All he did was take a picture. When Kendrick Perkins played center for the Thunder, he called teammates “cupcake” if he thought they were acting a little soft. Westbrook and Durant adopted the term in jest. Westbrook posted a bittersweet pic on Instagram: three plates of cupcakes topped by red and blue stars and sprinkles.

You do understand that his usage rate is in 42% & he's averaging only 10 assists per 100 possession.:lol James Harden has a usage rate of 35% & is averaging 17 assists per 100 possession.:wow

Harden is averaging 1.6 pts/shot, WestBrick is at 1.2pts/shot. As far as rebounds, WestBrick is notorious for stealing rebounds from his teammates ala Rondo...he's no Jason Kidd.

[Kawhitstorm]

I agree that Westbrook will never win a championship as the main guy, but doesn't change the fact that they are a poorly built team, at the moment..

Could you look at the Rockets '14-'15 roster & get back at me.:lol

WestBrick had a better roster & was feasting on lotto team back in 2015 when OKC missed the playoffs. There is no excuse for WestBrick to not win 45 games if he's a top 5 player.

:lol 2005 kobe tbh... drives the real superstar out of town and has a few seasons to chuck his little heart out as his team struggles



Better record than spurs :wakeup

that was a cold blooded shot by alphabrook to ice that clippers game. on the road too.

[apalisoc_9]

Thank God! The clipperw scare the shit out of me...They can potentially steal that second seed from San Antonio..so Any loss is welcomed.

[Kawhitstorm]

:worthy: Alphabrook with the dagger :worthy:

WestBrick owns Choke-P3, has since 2014. This is also the year where Choke-P3 has a steep decline like 2014 Porker, dude can't even get into the paint unless it's a switch or a weakass defender like Lillard.:lol

WestBrick stock is also on the rise, it's setting up well for a Kawhi MVP statement game when they face each other before the ASG.:toast

That would be a nice story but our first game agaibst the thunder is late Jan...:lol

I fully expect the thunder to be either around the 50% mark or under by that time and Lebron making a crazy run. :lol..

I still think Lebron is heavy and clear favourite. He's still going to end up scoring more than Kyrie..and also a decent chance of winning 60.

Blake is their main offense now tbh. Paul, cant properly attack any bigman with slight speed. Sadly, We are also trotting out Parker and Gasol out there...

otherwise, Id be super confident against the clippers :lol

MVPbrook. Even MJ didn't touch these stats...


And yet there was something that Jordan had that Westbrook seems to lack. Some little thing... maybe someone else knows. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Are you retarded? It's only been 3 games and you're saying MJ didn't touch those stats. You could probably find a 3 game stretch were he had stats like that.

Pumped for tonights game

[SASdynasty!]

Another year of statpadding to set up another playoff choke. That is, if he makes it to the playoffs. Last time he didn't have Durant, he couldn't get the Thunder to the postseason.

[TrainOfThought5]

LMAO - do you guys even understand that he took a quarter of his shots last year from the 3P line, and shot .296? (Danny shot .332 from 3P last season, and people wanted him cut - or at least benched.) For his whole fucking career, Hardon shoots about .350 on his 2-pointers outside of 3 feet. If a whole team shot that shitty, they would never win a single game. Not one. Ever.

Anybody who wants to jack up that many shots, with that kind of shitty FG%? I'll take him on the opponents' team every time. You can talk all you want to about the good things he does. The bottom line is he jacks up a shitload of shots, at a percentage that loses games. But, damn, he looks good doing it.

Perfect analysis. Unfortunately we'd rather romanticize "passion" and "energy" over quality play from our PG.

[lefty]

quality play from our PG.
:lmao

Have to show Russ love for sticking with his shitty team, tbh..a 12-point underdog tonight, where it's just him and Adams vs. an All-Star team..

Regardless of the fact that he's a top 3 player in the NBA, you have to be a wet pussy to cheer for Dominos Durant..he's one of the most unlikable players in NBA history, as I've been saying since he entered the league..I don't even care that he joined the Warriors, he's just very difficult to cheer for..I don't know how anybody can openly cheer for soft, sensitive players like Dominos, Lamarcus Aldridge, etc(unless they play for your favorite team, obviously)..

There is nothing likable about either of these 2 guys. One is the typical chucker in the mold of Baron Davis,Marbury,Francis but is more athletic. The other despite being a top 3 player is super passive aggressive and is a follower.

[UZER]

Durant is so fake. Talking shit to OKC is so low. He left the team he quit on purpose so he could join the team that beat him.

[J_Paco]

Yup and yup.

I love KD because he is a Prince George's County (Maryland) product, but can't deny that I lost a bit of respect for him (not that he cares) over the last few years. His passive behavior throughout his time in Oklahoma City and "turncoat" mentality going to Golden State ("it won't be easy/I'm helping them win") only deepened it.

Westbrook is just Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson (who I also love cause he's from VA) & Steve Francis (PG/Montgomery County too) in a shiny, new package. Everything most of these clowns hate about Tony is completely TRUE about Westbrook, but people love his dunks, "intensity and passion" that he plays with.

Like I said earlier, he'll never, ever win playing this ridiculous brand of Ultra Hero Ball.

And he is nowhere near the 3rd best player in the NBA. I would take LeBron, Curry, Durant and Leonard before even thinking about Westbrook with his constant chucking, selfish play and terrible efficiency.

As much as I do not like Kobe Bryant, how is that an insult to RUSS? Kobe is a hall of famer, plus Pop said he wants Kawhi to be more like Kobe. Oh the IRONY :)

The problem with Tony is that he is a defensive liability, RUSS can hold his own and then some. Your comparison of the two players is point less. Russ would make the Spurs the BEST Team in the NBA right now; Russ, Danny, Kawhi, LMA and Dedmon will grab over 50% of their missed shots, it would be hard to beat and that's guaranteed!

[DenialTwist]

Westbrook said he'd "rather win with dignity than lose like a coward." Damn right.KD has no business talking shit to former OKC teammates when he is the one who jumped ship to take a stroll in the park with the splash brothers and a 73-win team. KD is weak. He couldn't hack it in OKC as the leader.

LMAO!!! If Westbrook had won, you'd be giving him the blowjob of the century. He loses, and you're "showing him love" for not going to play for a better team? That's the most pussified take of the year. Normally I'd tell someone to take it like a man, but you'd just bend over and it would get all awkward. :lol

This isn't the revenge game bc it was in GS. A true revenge game has to be in the city you left with all the fans booing you. We'll see if Durant can repeat his performance in OKC and if Westbrook is capable of elevating his game to beat GS.
