Thunder: Westbrook Haters

[DMC]

Do you read anything? The Thunder WIN over 80% of the time when he has a triple dub!!! Thats what you want is wins!!!! If the only way your team can get the win is by relying on one single player, you take it. The Thunder are not talented enough top to bottom to win without WB going crazy. I dont even need to argue. Go look it all up. The Thunder suck (win less than 35%) when he tries to spread the ball.

Ever heard of post hoc ergo propter hoc? It's not a hip hop group.

Did you ever think Westbrook gets the triple double because his team is good enough to win against those particular teams on those nights?

We all know a hyper-aggressive PG can win a game for a team. It's fool's gold, they know and so do you. Instead of WB having all those stats, he could be sharing touches with the team, working on ball movement, defensive positioning, trust. He wouldn't sacrifice individual stats even for KD and Harden. Dude had the best players in the NBA on his team (Ibaka was up there as well) and couldn't find it within himself to play team ball.

Why do i get the feeling that some of these so-called "scrubs" playing with Westbrook would be fine on teams that utilized them properly?

LOL.............surely. As bench players.

[lebomb]

Crazy as it might sound, but I think his game would be more impressive if he only had 31p/10a/6r. If he put the energy to get the rebounds into defending, I think very few people would argue with him becoming MVP.

Naaa, lets go for 31pts/10ast/10rb/10stl

If your team wins over 80% of the time and you have a player that averages a triple double to get it, what is the problem? Especially if you win 30% of your games when he doesnt go off.

They don't win over 80% of the time. Their win percentage is 57%. They are 15-21 on the road. They are bracketed by teams that are 20-19 and 19-20.

So 80% of the time that RW has a triple double, the team wins. But they don't win 80% of the time.

Here's some truth for you:

The most frequent rebound total in Westbrook's triple-doubles is 10. He's hit that number 17 times.

The most frequent assist total in Westbrook's triple-doubles is 10. He's hit that number 11 times.

Look man, I don't "hate" Westbrook, but I just don't love him as a player like you do. The real question is, why are you such a Westbrook sucker? As a Spurs fan, I have no reason to be threatened by him or envious of his talents. I'd much rather have the team we have now, and we'd ing destroy the Thunder in a series this year. Even last year with Durant on the team, they were lucky to beat us. So for those of us who don't love him, we don't have to explain ourselves at all. You're the one who looks weird showing so much love for a player that questionably deserves it - and doesn't even play for the team you follow.

Im going by facts that I saw on ESPN........google it. If WB gets a trip dub, the Thunder win over 80% of their games. When he doesnt get a trip dub they drop to 33%...........it averages out to 56%. So they are MUCH better off when he gets his trip dub.

Im a Kawhi sucker. I just think WB is having a great year. To avg a trip dub is special and has only been done 2 other times in the history of the NBA, and not done in 179yrs or something.

Bull . I could average a triple double in the NBA if my team was dedicated to making that happen.

What are you talking about??!! You can't be a Kawhi fan and appreciate something that a player from another team is doing!! GTFOH

How many times does this need to be explained to you? It isn't special when a selfish player forces it and his team enables it.

Or he gets his trip dub when they are much better off. Chicken-egg

So if WB gets only 9 assists vs 10, the team is more likely to lose? If Adams gets the rebound instead of Russ, the team is more likely to lose?

You don't have enough different iterations to know the truth, you're ignorant and just need numbers fed to you.

[spursistan]

Most shameless stat-padder in the entire league..

[TDMVPDPOY]

previous season he be hating on the media for trolling him or asking stupid questions relating to his game

now he needs them for the purpose of mvp and whatever media voted awards....

[ambchang]

Most shameless stat-padder in the entire league..

Pffff. Rodman averaged 18rpg doing the same.

If numbers werent important, why and the keep stats?

If stat padding was so easy, with the 100,000 + players that have come through the NBA, more than 3 would have avg a triple double.

Harden had a trip dub last night, he stat padded and they lost to.

Where is the Facebook post fail with the fat talkin bout how she wants a cowboy who's out in the field slinging hay, home cooked meals, Bustin a bronc and some dude tells her that she's a beast? Please help.

WTF???

[Spurs9]

57 point triple double
Westbrook could score 120 and you guys would try to downplay it tbh

This. Harden gets a 40 point triple dub he gets love...
Both are amazing both are deserving.
If i was a hater i would say if Jordan/Kobe couldnt win mvp without a top record neither should Russ ...but idgaf. Again both guys are worthy and if Kiwi wins God bless him he has dominated head2head

[.G.]

WTF???

Yeah mang I'm serious. Dis life or deaf

[lefty20]

If you are the MVP, you do everything you possibly can to help ur team win and win often. Westy falls short on the last part. Now if he leads the Thunder to the #4 seed with an 8-0 finish with 8 trip-dubs then yeah, give the man his MVP trophy.

[lefty]

To be fair he has teammates

No he doesn't. I'm guessing you're going by their stats.

Because it doesn't matter, it should be downplayed. When you're out to get the triple double, it really nullifies the feat. It has to come organically, not how Russ does it. Mother er took 40 shots as a PG. He took more shots than the entire starting lineup put together. They beat the Magic. Big ing whoop.
