I seriously can not stand when people pull sh*t out of their ass that is not even fawking true.


He is not even the best Reb PG in the NBA never mind by far.

Rajon Rondo Info Page | NBA.com
Russell Westbrook Career Stats Page | NBA.com

He is neck and neck with Rondo; there maybe even someone better then both them I just didn't feel like looking it up.

Go home with your weak sauce false stats, sh*t annoys me when people do that.

Want to preface this by saying i dont know anything about the NBA, or pro bball. However, The Thunder is (are?) my faviort team, although before the playoffs i maybe watched 1 of their games. After Maynor, Durant is my faviort player.

i thought this was a good read:

Mike and Mike this morning were (was?) talking about the thunder being 25-5 when Westbrook shoots more then Durant this season. And that Westbrook was 50% last night in the 4th quarter, i think simular to Durant.

I really like that its not all on Durant, like it often is with Kobe or was with Lebron in Clevland. Sure Durant is the best or second best player but he makes his team better by not doing everything but by facilitating everything.

The Thunder looked like a young team in game 1 and even younger in game 2. But i think that theres no big egos on the team and they all do what the coach says. I think the current setup with Westbook and Durant is fine. It would be nice if the Thunder could show some poise early in these games and start off faster but otherwise i think theyre playing good.

This is a better read and more accurate to the true issue.

Westbrook's the problem for Thunder ... he just doesn't realize it - NBA - CBSSports.com News, Scores, Stats, Fantasy Advice

He was a major problem last year as well in the playoffs.


Edit: Another article.

Column: Do Thunder and Russell Westbrook have a problem? :InsideHoops

Notice him talking about the flow of the offense, and how Westbrooks many shots interrupt that flow. THIS is what being a PG is all about, not about scoring points, but about making the offense flow.

I think i agree with you and everyone else hating on Westbrook now. Obvisouly he looked pretty good at times last night, but the dude is just sloppy with the ball and he isnt very good at finding guys open. Never shuld have fouled Chalmers.

Agian i dont know anything about NBA, but besides Harden not showing up and looking sloppy when he did last night, i thought the refs should have called a lot more fouls on Miami. Hopefully the series isnt over.

However, please note that:

superstitious facts > weak sauce false stats

At least in my opinion
