    Russ Westbrook is also a massive Loser. He found a way to yet lose again. The facts are the facts.

      Butler, Davis, Booker, Durant, etc theres 8 other guys better or same as him

      He gets points, like Westbrook. Great. He's an all star player but he's not the elite SF or SG in the league and I don't think he's top 8, much like RW, I don't think he's top 8 either.

      They were just overhyped. Ppl thought OC had 2 of the top 10 players in nba, they don't. They have 2 of the top 25, like 10 other teams.
      Overhyped players like Westbrook and George will never win a championship when they insist that they are the key pieces to a championship team and view themselves as "top talent" in the NBA.

        Now that's a winner. That's a guy that knows how to win.

          As long as the Chinese buy their product, that’s all the NBA cares about these days.

              They got outplayed this series. George was playing all nba 1st team ball until late feb. His shot just fell off like he hurt shoulder.

              Portland kicked ass and the signing of Kanter is one of the best pickups of season for any team. Saved them when big boy had devastating injury.

                Probably true them being the worst star duo ever.

                They do need a better supporting cast though.

                  Paul George is gonna finish 3rd in MVP voting, was 2nd in points and has a chance to be DPOY. None of those guys u names besides Ant Davis and Durant have ever done that. I’ve never seen a guy that’s likely to be 1st team all nba who is not in the discussion for top 10 player.

                    What about Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury. Whose bright idea was it to pair those two guys.

                    Carmelo and Iverson failed pretty bad, that was near the end of Iverson's career though. Those guys just weren't meant to play together.
                    Yeah good ones to bring up to. Although both Marbury and Francis were nothing compared to the likes of Westbrook at that position. Westbrook would obliterate those guys.

                    AI was at the backend and Carmelo wasn’t in his prime yet.

                    This one is just bafflingly to me cause both George and Westbrook are in their primes.

                      ? That can’t be right.

                      Whats the context though? Under certain scenarios I can see that being accurate.

                        Im guessing the playoffs they only showed it right after the gameending highlights on SC. Just said nba teams in that senario ^^^^ had that record. Im guessing they mean playoffs maybe? Im sure there a specific to it. Can't be just this reg season.ill try and see if its on the replay.

                        Of course U guys would know way better than me though just seemed like an insane stat

                          Sounds about right to me. They're not saying 15 up with 7mins to play, they're saying 15+ so that includes up 20, up 30. Lots of blowouts over the years.

                              George is a great player, he's just naive. Naive to pick up those silly fouls that force him to the bench, and naive to stick with Westbrook when he should have gone to Lakerland.

                                        Russ is on 4-14 run in playoffs now from being one game shy of winning with warriors. Not too good resume .

                                          They were up 15 I believe. If anyone happens to find that stat, would love to see it posted. Have a feeling it has something to do with elimination games.

                                            And you need to hand off ball to PG on last posession and run away .

                                            I was even suprised he actually did it one posession earlier . No willpower to do it twice in the row.

                                            I heard Dame need to play with longer shorts in next round . Everone can clearly see huge balls hanging there

                                                I remember the Celtics had a great 4th quarter comeback vs the Nets in the P.Pierce/ J.Kidd days. That and the Dallas game?

                                                  Clips missed it by a point then.

                                                    There have been a lot of 4th quarter comebacks in teh playoffs obviously but they're typically not linear, i.e you have the bulk of it coming in the span of a few mins.

                                                      Clippers/ Grizzlies was definitely one. Celtics/ Nets wasn't. Not sure about Mavs/ HEAT. Just an empty stat in any case ;/

                                                          I was there. When the ball was kicked out to Rodney Rodgers for another 3 pointer the place was silent until it hit nothing but bet and then the Garden erupted just like the next one he sunk. I've never been to a playoff game that was as loud as that game was. That was the loudest. I was 9 rows behind the Nets bench and couldn't talk for about 3 days. It's a shame they lost the next home game when Pierce missed that free throw. We all know how the series ended next. Great game!

                                                              I agree but McColum is nothing bro. I don't even think Mccollum has ever been an all star in his career, and definitely has never made an all nba team. Paul George is about to finish 3rd in MVP voting, 2nd in the NBA in scoring, 1st team all NBA, and potential DPOY. Westbrook is an MVP already and has broken more records than I care to count. I don't think you can compare the duos at all. You basically have two MVP candidates on one team that are losing in the first round b2b years. Never happened in history.
