So you use PER in one section and yet you won't acknowledge that RW has a higher PER this year (small sample) than Wall/Harden/Curry? Really?

When did I say Wall was better?

Westbrook has only played in 32 games.

Because he never sits on the bench in closer games. The beauty of having two great players is that it allows the other to rest while the other takes over.

Just back off your statement, you are wrong and too bullheaded to admit it.
 
I mis-read what you wrote. Despite that, Wall is not on his way to being better. His efficiency went DOWN from last year.

You are talking about 20.8 to 20.4 in over 600 more minutes. That statistical relevancy between those two numbers is nil.

And Wall has improved his shooting, as well as 3 point shooting and his offensive and defensive rating.

Because you twisted my statement. I never said that Durant plays the least amount of minutes.

I clearly said that KD does not play in blowout games in the fourth quarter which is proven by the fact that he sat 20 4th quarters last year.

You are twisting what I said.

I NEVER once said that Durant doesn't play as many minutes as other players.

So what say you to that?

I find it hard to believe he sat 20 4th quarters. Im not going through every game, but in 9 games he played 29 minutes or less.

IN antoher rougjly 9 games he played 34 mins or less. Just clicked on a few of those games and I see he played the 4th quarter in them.

Can you prove he completely sat 20 4th quarters?
 
Too add to that he aveage 8.8 minutes in the 4th quarters. Quick math:

Total 4th quarter mins: 8.8 x 81 (games played) = 713 4th quarter minutes played.

Subtracting 20 games from that would leave 61 4th quarters played. 713 minutes divided by 61 4th quarters= 11.69 4th quarter minutes.

In order for this to be true, KD would have had to play virtually every 4th quarter minute in those 61 games. i would assume that is not the case.
