Westbrook is pathetic

He is just a selfish player that you cannot win with

**spippen** · 04-22-19, 06:16 AM

He will never be a winner. Soon Paul George will bail on him and go to a team with winners.

If you almost average a triple double in every game you aren't playing selfish.. He just can't shoot the damn ball.. Very poor shooting percentage.

Can see Westbrook being that athletic till he's 34. Still a long ways imo. But he's not gonna win a ring unless he sacrfices stats. He needs to be averaging 20, 5 and 6. Running without the ball more.

People say improve a jump shot, but no. Hit shot is what it is by now. He needs to take a page out of Clyde Drexler and Kobe and Wade's book and learn how to cut without the ball.

This will increase his fg%.

probably but if he hasn't by now... probably not going to happen

To get that triple double, he has to hold the ball the entire game. His usage rate always sky high every year.

He spoon feeds alot of players driving to the hoop, like Adams mostly.

He looks to assist early in games. He best when driving to the hoop. When he tries to take over the game and step up and take long shots and mid range shots is when he hurts the team... Brick house!!!!

I noticed this about his shooting midway via the season.

Worthless stats. Guy getting bounced early again. Can't shoot at all.

Adams has great touch in the paint and is also an excellent screener -you might say Adams spoon feeds him assists! He'd rather shoot those jumpers that he's about 40% on rather than literally just dump it off to a teammate who's at least 50% on those floater shots & hook shots.

He puts his own urges ahead of the team's interests, and takes plays off on defense so to save his legs for stats ...that's why he's selfish. Desperate to re-live the glory days.

50 minutes and still no retort from Thunder boy, what a traitor. I reckon if I said something bad about the Bucks MilwaukeeMike would defend their honor sooner.

Adams does have an outstanding touch around the rim.. He has that little push shot down. 5 feet in and closer he's money, never misses. I'm a fan of the Aqua man double..

Adams might be the best center in the league and we just don't know it yet because Westbrook holds him back. Adams should be dominating this series.

**IBetYou** · 04-22-19, 04:50 PM

I have my doubts about Adams too. He's not skilled quite like the Euro bigs (Jokic, Vucevic, Gasol, Nurkic) and he's not a switchable big -bad combination. Crime that he only gets 6 shots vs Kanter though.

**asiagambler** · 04-22-19, 04:55 PM

Yeah, he's not ideal for this era. But he could dominate like Shaq and as you said, he has really good touch in the paint. Those little hook shots he does are very high percentage.

**BigDofBA** · 04-22-19, 06:47 PM

Westbrook is on the decline.

He has never been able to shoot but he could always finish at the rim. Now he can’t finish.

His game isn’t suited well as he ages.

Most normal fans probably can’t notice it but I can definitely notice it after watching him every game since OKC game here.

Even slight drops in athleticism have a large impact. He isn’t like Harden or Durant who are silky smooth and can get drain shots. He relies on his athletic ability.

**shadymcgrady** · 04-22-19, 07:39 PM

ESPN put out stats comparing Westbrook's playoff history with and without Durant. Results were staggering

39-25 with Durant

4-11 without Durant, all first round exits

Like sheed said, ball don't lie

**slayer14** · 04-22-19, 07:45 PM

Adams needs to average 20 points a game for a guy with his talent

**IBetYou** · 04-24-19, 05:21 AM

Just watched game 5 on demand... He started so well, playing the pg role. Got Adams going in the paint. Got out of PG's way. But down the stretch he just couldn't bare being 2nd fiddle to George whom was having an outstanding game. Major psychological issues for this kid. Congrats Blazers backers!
