    Meanwhile the Thunder have gotten better every year since he was drafted there.

    I agree. His nickname should be changed to Wes-loses-ball or something along those lines.

    Russell Wesbutterfingers?

    Doesnt have a good ring to it. Anybody have a one syllable word starting with b for turnovers?

    So does Monta Ellis and Tyreke Evans... but nobody is even trying to say they come close to Derrick Rose.

    You want westbrook-rose comparisons? Rose only turns it over one time less. He scores .6 points less and gets less rebounds.

    I was just saying that Assist turnover ratio isn't everything. Last time I checked, okc wins most of its games with westbrook running the point.

    I dunno, might have something to do with that Durant character. If anything, they probably would be even better with a true playmaker feeding KD instead of taking shots away from him. We all saw what Harden did last playoffs against the Mavs I hope? While Westbrook lost his composure and sulked on the bench in 4th quarters?

    Pretty sure that's because of the emergence of Ibaka and Durant, not Westbrook.

    That would be great, for a SG! And Evans doesn't count because he's a terrible PG. Rose at least gets his guys involved and he's the clear #1 option.

    Not sure if they run many plays for him. He's more of defensive presence with a decent mid range game, but kd, Westbrook, harden get plays ran for them, but not ibaka.

    Anything over 2 to 1 is considered good.

    No, Westbrook is better than anyone that the Rockets have had on thier roster in the last five seasons.

    Now...

    The Thunder would have been blown out if not for Westbrook. That dude is unstoppable once he starts running.

    Durant scored a quiet 33.

    Westbrook scored a loud 25 where every shot looked like it was gonna change the game.

    There's a reason why Westbrook is an all-star and Lowry is not.

    They both deserve to be All-Stars, IMO.

    They both have their own weaknesses. Passing is Westbrook's.

    Why is there no videos of Westbrook passing?

    OKC seems to be following the path of Marbury and Garnett many years ago, 2 stars who cant coincide. Who cares about them anyway, let them deal with their own problems. Good to see Martin back to normal. I think if Martin gets more touches early in the game, he will get going. based on his stats, he's more of a 1st 3 Quarters type of players. not sure if its a stamina issue but let him get his points in the first 3 quarters but end the game with Lee who is needed more for defense.

    Last year didn't Durant brick a three pointer at the buzzer against the Rox? Did WB get blamed for that OKC loss?

    They should let harden run point, or they should trade for rondo
