That is why I brought up Oladipo, it is not a surprise alot of players that played with Westbrook play alot better elsewhere.

OKC's offense consists of Westbrook driving or shooting the ball and if he passes it to someone else he stands 3-4 ft back from the 3 pt line with his thumb up his ass. Rinse-repeat

OKC usually has had more than enough talent to not have a shoot first point guard. If Westbrook wants to keep on playing that style he should have to play on a shit team where that behavior is understandable

Here you go KCC. Moving without the ball. Getting easy shots. Another reason why Jordan was so superior:

Oladipo lost weight and trained harder than ever this last off season. Sabonis made the jump from being a rookie. Kanter was basically the same player he was with okc. So is Durant except now he doesn't take as many shots.

Who are all these players who played better away from Westbrook?

I think OKCs main problem is that they've hired 2 extremely weak coaches that can't game plan and can't handle player egos. They need someone that can design a system around Westbrooks style but also be able to run plays. Donovan can't do that.

They have tried to implement an offense but it never pans out and everybody's guess is because Westbrook doesn't want to run any type of offense except for him to hog the ball. Why do you think Durant left and Westbrook acts a jilted lover? What is the excuse going to be when PG bolts?

Zach Lowe has a good read about all of this so check it out. As Zach points out

Oklahoma City's failure to develop an offensive system goes beyond Westbrook. But we have been talking about this problem for almost 10 years. The coach has changed, the bench has changed, the stars around him have changed.

A healthy Boston team couldnt beat a Cavs team that was a blown call away from losing to the Pacers?

LeBron took 2 games off a 72 win team by himself with a bunch of scrubs around him. Yeah, I think he could take the Celtics too.

That was the year before they won 72 games.

The Grizzlies also won two games, and Harden took 1 game off them by himself too.

But go ahead and make it sound like it was bigger than it was :rolleyes:

Oh sorry 67 wins and comprised of exactly the same pieces of the team that won 73 (which btw LeBron actually beat with no help from anyone but Kyrie).

I don’t see what’s so special about winning two when Harden won one by himself. If Harden could win one, James should be able to win one or two.

Also, that’s a huge “but” when you’re talking about a guy that played phenomenal in that series and hit the big shot to win it all.

Man.. so great watching clips of the NBAs Golden Age.

Raptors need to pull out this first game or this series is over

dirk digler 05-01-2018 08:34 PM

That should have been a flagrant 2 on Love and an ejection + fT's + ball

Exactly what did Jae Crowder did against OKC a few nights ago and he got ejected
