You forgot to add turnovers to that list of stats. So you need another 7.Ironman92;1621413 wrote:Westbrook goes 34/8/7/6

Exactly. I don't hate RW but I can't fathom people who love him more than CP3 (Pick) or Durant (Rob, what the f*ck were you thinking when you said that).Fly4Fun;1621469 wrote:Westbrook also has a lot of possessions where no one else touches the ball.
I don't think people should be excited about a pointguard that fills up the stat sheet first (volume scorer) and gets his teammates involved second. It's just not a formula that works, it can get teams far when the PG is really good, but those teams always seem to fall short.
Well you got one part of that right.lhslep134;1621437 wrote:Not that you care what I think but you just lost all credibility with me regarding the NBA and I can no longer take what you write seriously.
Scoring's not the problem, executing on offense when it matters and getting stops when they need them are. GRIII is no better than PJ3. They have talent it's just that only two guys shoot the ball, and defenses know that coming into the series.Azubuike24;1621512 wrote:Both KD and RW with 7 turnovers. Mr. MVP lost control of the ball on the biggest possession of the game. Now, KD had 31/14 and RW had 34/7/8/6, yet both choked, again, on the biggest stage. It's clear they need another big man (Perkins sucks) and another forward who can score. Someone like Kawii Leonard would be perfect for them. The OKC window isn't necessarily closing, but I'm not so sure they have the brass to make the re-tooling moves like the Spurs did to become THE BEST.
Someone like Cleanthony Early or Glenn Robinson III would be solid for OKC.
They need a true damn point guard is what they need, but theyre not gonna do that with Westbrook on the roster.Azubuike24;1621512 wrote:Both KD and RW with 7 turnovers.

Maybe I used the wrong wording, but he is their leader and more important player. He is the engine that makes that team go and the alpha dog, Durant is too comfortable being in the shadows during critical moments. Russell makes more impact plays, not only just scoring, coming up with key defensive steals and plays that Durant can't/doesn't make. That's all I was trying to say.lhslep134;1621617 wrote:Only according to Rob

I'm still watching this over that immediate post-Jordan era where you had the lockout and the (to a lesser extent) following 5-6 year span of the Spurs/Lakers completely dominating whatever the east could throw at them (50-win teams like the Nets and Pacers).wghfan;1621411 wrote:This era of the NBA is the worst I have ever seen.
agreed. Laughable that the RW haters/KD lovers ignore the fact that KD had 7 turnovers. However, KD and RW aren't the problems. The problem is the lack of depth/options outside of them. Shame Lamb and PJ3 look like duds and they traded Harden.robj55;1621710 wrote:Maybe I used the wrong wording, but he is their leader and more important player.
