Thunder: Westbrook is a cancer...

[DAF86]

OP is still pissed how Westbrook destroyed the Spurs in a couple of games in last year playoffs. OKC would be at the bottom of the standings w/o Westbrook at this point.

Why clicking a thread when you're not even going to bother to read the OP?

You can have him for anybody on your roster, save Leonard. Go on, big shot, lie your in' ass off.

No sherlock. I would take him at pg over TONy Porker all day everyday on the Spurs.

[spurraider21]

with an assist from Amy Duncan, tee hee.

Duncan: 5
The tired old bag Kobe: 5

Common cubby you know better...westchimp is dumb as rocks but alpha strong...porker is a pastry-eating got

The Thunder are not better without Westbrook this season. Last season there was a case, especially with how Durant was ripping teams apart before he returned.

There's a difference between losing a player to injury who's still taking up a roster spot and a large portion of your team's salary, and him being gone and replaced with a new PG a bunch of extra team budget to add more people.

Of course losing a guy who's clogging that much team salary and wasn't replaced with someone reasonable will result in a worse team.

Right. My guess is you were so upset by the Porker movement you went through my post history and stumbled across the couple pics that I voluntarily posted on here. It don't bother me any brah. Here's one I found doing a quick search:

That thread is ing comedy

[sook]

He gets too much hate.

[mystargtr34]

He's obviously not a cancer but his game management skills are ing atrocious.. his mano-e-mano reckless approach at the end of the Bulls game (and most other games) kills the Thunder.

Harden>>> Westrbook imo.

But, Westbrook is a winner on the hoof.

Harden? One cannot say that.

Westbrook has won the same as Harden. Nothing.

You don't seem to understand how team basketball is played, there's another side to the coin. It's not like either Russ goes balls out for 48 minutes or the team loses. Russ could choose to involve his team, and if that fails the front office would have to see that they don't have a team built to win a ring. However, there's a chance it wouldn't fail, only seem to fail at first. When KD returns, he could return to a team finding it's rhythm instead of a PG who's spent the last couple of weeks building his own stock. I'd think a person who's watched the game for years would get that by now, especially a Spurs fan. Do you think that RW is surrounded by people who aren't NBA caliber players? The exact same excuses were used by Lakers fans when Kobe chucked his team out of games. He'd have 40 or more points, but they'd lose. How does that work exactly? Does everyone else suck that much that a team without their star PG and their best scoring backup can beat you even if you score 40 points?

Did you even watch the game? Have you even been watching him during this stretch? It's an iso-oriented offense. He's going to take a lot of shots even if he is involving his teammates (which he was yesterday) since one of the other guys that the iso-oriented offense depends on is out. What do you expect...that suddenly Brooks is going to run a fluid offense full of ball movement? Stop being ing stupid. You also can't label him a Kobe, when he puts most of his energy into chucking then you can--as of right now Chimp goes hard in all aspects of the game.

His problem is closing atm. He's failed to cap off a couple of legendary performances with his poor closing.

Sure but that doesn't mean their playoff performances have been the same. Chimp played better in the Finals than Harden IIRC. Chimp played like he was the best player on the floor in last year's WCF too.

You are right that Westbrook has performed better in the playoffs than Harden, though Westbrook is also inefficient as well. And no, last year in the WCF, Westbrook shot 40%. Durant shot 47%.

Westbrook: 26.8 ppg, 7.3 apg, 5.7 rpg, 3.2 spg, 4 topg on 41.5% shooting
Durant: 25.8 ppg, 3.2 apg, 7.7 rpg, 1.2 spg, 3.3 topg on 47.1% shooting

Debatable imo. Regardless, pretty impressive considering the other guy was the league MVP.

[FkLA]

you didn't start the movement. You bandwagoned into it

I've been calling his ass out since the Speedy Claxton days. When Phil Jackson would neutralize him by simply closing out the lane. When Chauncey bullied him. When a young Conley schooled him in what should've been the Spurs biggest mismatch. When Sefalosha and Abaka scared him into a backdoor sweep. The only time he really upped his game to a truly elite level was in '13 and I gave him his due for that.

He's portrayed as a playoff warrior and he really isn't. Worst big game player out of the Big 3 by far.

and you think constantly talking about it is going to help?

[FkLA]

No, but making so many Kirby threads didn't help him become less of a selfish psychopath either. That didn't stop any of you.

Enrique stans don't root for the Spurs either (hence their blind hate for Manu, Kawhi, etc.) and their fanbase trolls constantly as well.

His problem is in how he approaches the game. He's not nearly as interested in winning as he is in stats. That's why he closes poorly. He could do well if he did less. You still not understanding how a team works. You blame Scott for how Russ plays, but you're assuming Russ follows a game plan. You don't know that. If Scott's plan is to have Russ take 30+ shots a night, why? Because Kevin is out? Russ does it regardless. He's a volume shooter, so he's going to score the ball a lot when he shoots a lot, but his average isn't great.

You blame Parker for his antics when Parker plays for a micromanaging coach, yet you allow that Russ is obeying the coach's orders when it's fairly well understood that Scott doesn't have any control of Russ or Kevin. Scott is just a parental support figure.


Yes I watch the games, so trying to discredit my take to prop up yours isn't going to work. You've yet to make it make sense.

Yeah, obviously the dynamic is different. Kobe threads are for laughs. Enrique threads are to vent. Regardless, neither of them make a difference in the grand scheme of things.

That makes no sense. You just can't ever admit you ed up so you create this imaginary argument that only you understand, except you know it's a lie.
