Looks like someone knew what they were talking about.

It's still not Westbrook's fault that Durbeta is a playoff choker and a product of rigged regular-season officiating, tbh....
I haven't blamed Westbrook. He's a chucker, he cannot help himself. He has the ball at the beginning of almost every play and he takes almost every shot as if he's their best option. The Thunder didn't just do well while RW was out, they did really well. That was the time Durant cemented his season MVP, when he showed what he can do if he's the default go to man. Reggie Jackson can run the point as well as anyone, and running the point is the point. RW is an explosive scorer, but as we've seen time and again, he kills his team in order to get stats. Hey, he got a triple double last night, but he ignored his coach's statements about finding the better shot. He had some good plays, but he could have those as a 2 as well. He'll never play a 2 though, he's too egotistical and equates athleticism with winning. He should be scratching that gourd today that he got beaten at home in a crucial game 5 by a non-athletic team, who's high scorer only took 11 shots, and who's point guard only took 17 shots.
The only reason you call Durant a beta is because RW takes all the shots. A league MVP is hardly a beta.
Dis with da goods imo
You live by the Russell Westbrook jumpers, you die by the jumpers...
CROFL top two usage rates in the league.
Would a Westbrook for Rondo trade benefit both sides? Boston needs a scorer and OKC needs a real PG..
Durbeta is the most coddled superstar of all time
It would benefit the Thunder, but I doubt the Celtics want a point guard who takes 30 shots a game even if he has the league MVP on the floor with him.
One stat-padder for another, tbh
You don't know about basketball. Rondo won the ring when he had some scorers and defenders on the floor with him. He can pass and he can defend. He's not going to be the savior of the Thunder, but he'd be a better fit for them than would RW. In fact, Jackson could be moved to the starting role and they could find a decent backup for him. They could spend the rest of that money on another wing defender.One stat-padder for another, tbh
Westbrook carrying the MVP in this series.
Thunder are a better team with Paul
Westbrook carrying Durant again
40pts 10 asst 5 reb 5stls
Might start a "Thunder are a Better Team Without Kevin Durant" thread...
you'd be stupid to do so
All aboard the Westbrook wagon tbh.
lol
they weren't getting by the spurs without westbrook, tbh
adams/kanter gave fits and durant had some big 4th quarters, but westbrook was a headache too. he's a very flawed player, but he was a big part of that series win
to be fair, any average PG seems to tear the Spurs' asshole open
That's too safe of a statement. It cannot be disproven or proven.
You seem to think they would have faced the Spurs if they played the season without RW. You can't magically take them from where they were with RW and remove RW and see how they go from that point. They have to start the season with a smarter PG.
I don't know why that's so difficult to grasp.
