Thats what happens when you lose a guy like Durant and are stuck with this monkeeballa
Cute regular season player
John Wall is the best pure point guard in the NBA.
A Spurs vs Wizards NBA finals would be a welcome, refreshing site.
Im sure humans are tired of Westbrook, Curry and James.

i did call it. kawhi deserves MVP as much as anyone though. it is a regular season award... would much rather kawhi get that FMVP again![]()
Russ has been a beast today. Great game for him. His bench has freaking let him down so bad today
WB doesn't have a bench.
That's it. McBuckets has 11 points in 13 minutes. Grant has 9 points in 24 minutes. But the rest of the guys have 2,4,6,7 minutes. There's just much of a bench there.
Harden has just kicked his ass in crunch time, though.
Reggie doesn't even give heat to Russ. Keeps finding ways not to blame him.![]()
I mean, I dont know how to blame Russ too much tbh..He has to take some bad shots, but he was great today.
Even with KD there,Westbrick still found a way to chuck. off.
okc doesn't have a second option. adams and taj are solid 4th options.
He's the pg right? Isn't he supposed to make easy for his team to score?![]()
OKC is screwed -- they can't live with Westbrook, they can't live without him. Either way, they can't win big.
Franchises usually get one seminal make-or-break moment to determine their ultimate fate.
With Orlando, it was dumping Ben Wallace for Grant Hill (and patting their back about cap space brilliance the whole way).
With OKC, it was letting Harden walk.
Game, set, match.
Rihanna missed 3 consecutive 3 pointers, was gassed as but who cares HE HAD A TRIPLE/OCTUPLE!!!!!!
should westbrook play under control more? definitely. that okc roster is nothing though.
And a L (oss) but let's not mention that.
Here's the problem. Westbrook has a FG% of .425 this season. A 3P% of .343, and an EFG% of .476.
People here about Parker CONSTANTLY. He has a FG% of .466, a 33P% of .333 and an EFG of .486.
When Westbrook is on, he's amazing. But if he shot his averages every night, they wouldn't make the playoffs. You can't get around the fact that his overall efficiency is . And you can't just forget about it.
westbrook could play under control more.
but don't act like has kawhi, lma, green, manu, mills, gasol surrounding him.
That's a pretty valid point. If they had kept Harden and gotten someone good for Westbrook? They'd probably still have Durant, and they might have a banner in the rafters.
Yep.
Basically that applies to Kobe too without the help of prime Shaq / Gasol. Inefficiency is lost in a haze of sheer gross numbers, I guess.
I think if you scored a TrIpDoW the league gives you the W![]()
They didn't need to even break the 3 of them up. Harden said he didn't have a problem coming in off the bench. Unless he's changed his opinion, he said it wasn't about coming in off the bench. He was OK with that. I just think he wanted to be maxed out, money wise.
I mean, trading him and getting Kevin Martin out of his who left shortly after anyway. That now looks like one of the worst trades in years. I can't remember, what pick did they get? Was it the one they used on Adams? Even if they got Adams out of it, it was still a bad trade.
You have to wonder if these players are overrated at some point. 3 MVP type players and they can't win it. Flash and no substance. That's why westy should have never been close to winning MVP.
There is a history of not elevating or changing his game.
I don't understand the praise some players get when chucking to the rate of 42% FG, it's ridiculous. Westbrook got his 51 points and OKC lost. There's nothing more to say really.
How can you shoot 43 times in a game and not shoot 40%? At some point doesn't the law of averages pretty much guarantee that?
Because it is perceived as if he HAD to chuck because his team is trash.
I think that's in part true, but when 1 player dominates the ball so much, I'd expect the rest of the players to lose rhythm and confidence.
WB, anything bad aside, is a great player. But I couldn't give the MVP to a player who stat pads and chucks so much.
