Without Westbrook the Thunder are garbage. I'll take him over Chris Paul any day.

Westbrook isn't terrible but he's still learning the position.
Conference Finals
Westbrook- 41%, 18.2 ppg
Rondo- 46%, 20.5ppg
Parker- 48%, 21.5ppg
Nobody is arguing that he is as good of PG as Rondo or Parker b/c he's obviously not. But given the time he's played the position, he's more than holding his own. And most importantly, he's still playing and Parker is not.Comment -
Westbrook is a dominant force
Only guard in league that gets wide open 12 fters with 3 guys guarding himComment -
the guy is about to become a world champion.Comment -
No way they lose in finalsComment -

Where were u guys the two series before? This poor Westbrrok never gets a break. He can play ten lights out games and as soon as he has one bad one he come the ESPN pigeons that don't know any better slamming the guy. it must be tough for Westbrook playing with a guy who the league wants to be the face of. Durant has a bad game and it is just swept under the rug. Westbrook has a bad game it is all about not passing the ball to Durant.Originally posted by brahmabull117Comment -
Like I said before he is 10x better than Rose
Close to a ring
Case closedComment -
the only thing awful about westbrook is his shirt game in the press conferences. his game is VERY good he is still learning the position give him 2 years and he will be a top 5 player in the league. imo he is already there but 2 more seasons and it will be unquestionedComment -
Allaboutmoney dead onComment -
i will say this, as a bigtime celtics fan born and raised in boston, russell westbrook is much further along at this early stage of his career than rondo was, and look how good rondo has become...guy has a bright future ahead of himComment -
Dude you know nothing about basketball. With Chris Paul, they would just play under pick and rolls. With Westbrook teams can't do that.Originally posted by brahmabull117[B][B]They key isn't getting rich quick. The key is getting rich slowly, and enjoying it.

i would take him in a miuteComment -
Play under a pick and roll against Paul? You must be kidding me, no point guard has a better 15 foot jumper than Paul.Originally posted by big0marComment -
Russell Westbrook doesn't?Originally posted by k4cowboys4kComment -
Hell no he doesn't, that's what's holding him back. Those jumpers that he takes all the way out to the 3 pt line are the horrible shots he takes that will cost the thunder.Originally posted by Ockert12Comment -
A midrange pullup in transition that he can get whenever he wants is a horrible shot? Please elaborate.

No, it's the "dribble for 20 seconds then shoot a 20 footer without anyone touching the ball" possessions.Comment -
I partly agree with both sides of this discussion. The guy is very talented but also immature. It's probably an ego thing since he's so young and the sooner he realizes this is a team sport, and he has a heck of a team around him, the sooner the Thunder will start the huge run they are capable of in the next decade.Comment -
He rarely takes bad shots
He is so quick blows by his man all the time and gets close shots
His issue is not a great shooter
He is a team
Player alsoComment -

West is best of the 3...Originally posted by The Kraken
I take that back and say Rondo is the best overall...Comment -
They are different players, and both are stars....Originally posted by dudekid
Rondo is more of a leader and Westbrook is more of a physical fast scorer.Comment -
okc beats miami and wins game 1 yeah #beattheheat !!!Comment -
i know brahmabull117 is a fukking joke but he is right about westbrookOriginally posted by brahmabull117
OKC is lucky if this koksuker gets the job done vs the HeatComment -
Hard to say, they're all three very good in different ways. Rondo is the best assist guy, Parker probably most consistent and best offensively and Westbrook is most athletic and best defensively. So pick your poison.Originally posted by Balco10
But guys saying that Westbrook is awful and going to lose the Thunder the series just show how little they know about basketball.Comment -
don't necessarily agree with stephen a smith but he was hating on westbrook tonight, said they would have blown the heat out if he knew to pass the ball to durant more, which he does need to figure out at some pointComment -
how can stephen a say that when he had 11 assists? i mean, he's a SCORING point guard anyway. wtf is everyone's problem with westbrook whipping ass every night?

S.A .Smith was never good at picking games...he only talks a good game...Comment -
Russell Westbrook has gotten significantly better 8 years in a row, non highschool player, to average high school player, to college recruit, to college bench warmer, to good college player, to average nba player, to good nba player, to all star, to superstar 8 straight years he got better and he is one of the most criticized ever
