He should apologize for not being able to carry his team and make eveyrone around him better.

I guess the injury excuse is only for thunder players? Only durant can use that excuse

The injury excuse (not like it comes close to what the Thunder have endured) means less in an awful eastern conference.

 

[gilesfan]

I agree with thethe on Wall.

Great player but if he's a franchise PG, top 15 player.

He should be doing more from an offensive standpoint.

25 pts, 15 assists, 7 reb, 2.5 steals (46% FG) per 100 poss

the thunder have better surrounding talent, no?

They certainly do after the trade. Before, I'm not so sure.

Pales in comparison to Russ!

Woah, not according to your analysis of each of the players. I guess Gortat, Nene, and Pierce are better than Ibaka, Adams, Morrow, etc?

What if Wall took 10 more shots per 100 possessions and add Durant (and Mcgeary, Ibaka, Kanter, and whoever else you hype) to pass to?

You realize that Westbrooks numbers are much better when Durant doesn't play right?

Well with Reggie Jackson tanking the season and having to play offense with Perk on the floor thats pretty tough to overcome. We are seeing what RW can do right now with a center that has a more polished offensive game. I think if he had roll guys like Gortat and Nene he would thrive.

Bc hes taking a ton of shots. Hes not effecient tho.

Better TS% than Wall.

 

[thethe]

The debate on whether or not KD and RW are a good pairing is still very valid.

The debate about the type of player Westbrook is over. Guy is a future HOFer. IMO, he is a top 5 player now.

When have I said Wall is a better scorer than Westbrook?

 

[gilesfan]

Curry

Harden

Davis

Lebron

Durant

westbrook isnt top 5. You may be able to argue top 10.

May? Thats cute.

I'm still taking Westbrook over Harden and I have said nothing but great things about Harden for a while. I think Westbrook does more things that add to wins and losses on the basketball floor.

 

[gilesfan]

So it appears you changed your view of Westbrook in the last month.

I still don't know if hr works well with durant anymoRe. But give him a team with offensively capable bug men and shooter and he will do a lot of damage.

 

[Heyward]

While true, it's an unnecessary skill to have.

Are you finally done jibber jabbering with your hot takes about Harden being an ISO player whose style can never win?

ISO yes.

His style winning is more on the team around him then Harden himself.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

I take Russ over KD all day.
