Certainly, he's a very good player. The issues (that every discusses) is that he wants to be a scorer and throws up too many ill advised shots and shoots a low percentage. He needs to stick to giving the ball to KD, drving to the basket, and playing defense.

Take it for what you will, maybe it's a load of crap.

Nevermind, thethe got it.

You just gotta live with the good and the bad, fortunately there is more good than bad.
 
Last year RW took 2 more shots per game than the next closest PG, 3 more per game from the 3rd closest.

Yup, and he is learning that he doesn't need to take all those shots. Again, he will have his moments but this year RW has looked to pass more than at any time in his career. Based off of his comments this year I believe that will continue.

I know RW has taken too many shots in the past and hasn't always looked to pass as much as he should. I am not disagreeing with you on this fact. I am merely talking about what I have seen this year from him.
 
But again...Westbrook SHOULD take shots. He is dynamic and his aggressiveness and ability to draw fouls increases the teams scoring becuase it gets everyone to the line more.
 
Your reasoning for RW taking all those shots is because "He is dynamic and his aggressiveness and ability to draw fouls increases the teams scoring ".....the same can be said about Bron and he isn't jacking up 20 shots a game.

Fine don't use Bron....I would say CP3 is a pretty damn good offensive player, right? So, use him....same position as RW.....Tony Parker is 1 of the best in the game and getting into the lane and creating, use him.....
 
They are completely different players and don't want to and can't take the physical abuse that RW takes every game.

I just don't see what's wrong with RW s aggressiveness. Especially now that he is being smarter about it.
 
I don't care about the Nets, they are a 1 and done playoff team AT BEST. Have no future....I give zero ****s about them.

Meanwhile, Rubio is given a 20 foot cushion and refuses to shoot....oh the lulz.

Are we sure.the Pacers are going to the ECF? They just can't score.

You flip flop so much I can't keep up. You've been hyping Indiana to challenge Miami, now knocking them. One day KD is the MVP, the next Lebron is.

But, you need to consider the pace at which Indiana plays when you are discussing whether they can score or not.

Wait a second. I think they have the best shot but right now they are having issues scoring. Things change over the course of a season. Players/Teams are scouted and attacked differently. This is not flip-flopping. This is using current information and weighing it based on everything else that you know.

Just like you continue to say BK sucks and yet here they are 1 game over 500 and have one of the top 5 records in basketball since Jan 1st.

You flip weekly, clearly sample size is not an issue for you.

Why would I hype Brooklyn? Ive posted how they are lucky to have the record they do and are below average offensively and defensively. Winning a few games in February doesn't change anything.

Your line of thinking...........Houston must be the best team in basketball....have you seen them this past week?

Right now Houston should absolutely be considered among the best 3-4 teams in basketball. Why wouldn't they be?

BK has been playing excellent basketball for 2+ months. Their aggregate stats suck because they were embarassing as they were getting to learn how to play with eachother. You don't even watch them and just go off stats. You have no clue what you are talking about.
