Westbrook might be able to sneak OKC into the playoffs, but he needs both Durant and Ibaka to come back by then for them to actually go anywhere.
KD might be out for the season. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/1...ma-city-thunder-removed-basketball-activities
"Their fight," Iverson said. "Their fight. The fight in a guy. I'm the biggest [Russell] Westbrook fan I think there is. You know what I mean? Because he reminds me so much of myself as far as his heart and laying it on the line night in and night out. This is a guy who's going to bring it every single night."
Yeah, NOBODY Deserves to Go to the Free Throw Line THAT Fucking Much... REED Doesn't Want to See a TEAM Shoot 25 FT's in a Game, Nevermind 1 Guy... REED:shit #2:
harden always gets to the line, he knows how to draw fouls. westbrook went to the line 20+ times just a few days ago
No Current Player BENEFITS More from Free Throw Attempts than James Harden Does...There's NOT a Close 2nd to Him in this Regard... There ISN'T a Perimeter Player in NBA History that's DESERVED to Go to the Line 20+ Times in a Game, INCLUDING the Bearded Leading Man in YOUR Californication Hoop Fantasies... REED:limp:
i disagree. a foul is a foul. the way the rules are structured now it requires less contact than it did in previous decades for one to be called. but even back then guys went to the line 20+ times.
LITERALLY, a Foul Occurs EVERY Trip Down the Court, on EVERY Possession...By YOUR Rationale, Whistles Should Be Blown All Game Loooooooooooong and NBA Rosters Should Go from 12 to 15 or More, to Accommodate the Amount of Players Fouling Out Every Game... Inherently, Basketball is a NON CONTACT Sport...Fortunately, for the Greater Good of the Game, Defenders are Allowed SOME Level of Contact... REED Stands By his Point; NO Perimeter Player Deserves to Go to the Line 20+ Times in ANY Game...WHOtheFUCK Wants to Watch that Shit???... REED:loser:
Could we all agree that if Curry or Harden wins the MVP, Westbrook is still the best player of the three of them?
Better then Harden definitely. I think I might prefer Curry on my team however. Just a very efficient PG in all aspects of the game.
Curry is a beautiful thing to watch (No homo). They're like the Ying and Yang. Westbrook is all rage, intensity and emotion, Curry has the beautiful game, handles and killer shooting touch.
They just had to waive Ibaka or trade him for a pick and they could've offered Harden the max, easily.
They would have been a much better team all around. Westbrook would be a star at the Lakers right now.
based on the fact that westbrook simply doesnt know when to defer. the guy shoots more than durant, despite the fact that he is clearly a far less effective scorer.
Why should he defer to Durant when they're both equally good? Shouldn't Durant just spot and shoot for Westbrook instead?
They are not. Westbrook plays with more fire, that doesn't mean he's as good as Durant, or even close to an effective scorer, which is what Neil alluded to.
He doesn't flop, not on his drives anyways. He exposes the ball on his drives to the rack, the opposite is taught by every high school/college coach in the country. Defenders natural instinct is to swipe at the ball, and 9 out of 10 times, they hit his arms. The most effective way to stop Harden on his drives, is to jump straight up and go for the block. D. Jordan is the best at this in regards to Harden, as a result, Harden usually has very bad games vs Clippers.
