No.

So because Russell Westbrook can't single-handedly beat a team with four all-stars, he sucks. LOL.

It's more like he couldn't win it with a loaded team and after the other star player left we know why that team didn't win....it's RWB.

He's the Dwight Howard of guards.

Um, ok.

Good talk.

King, I don't want to have to tell you this buddy, but Mo kinda just styled on you.

When it comes to the NBA, I'm almost always correct.

For years we've been hearing about RBW being hard to deal with. We've seen him be a polarizing guy. That's who he is.

His counterpart leaves. His counterpart goes to a team that does win, and is happy to be on a team that does sacrifice stats for the betterment of winning. The other guy consoles himself in racking up stats and telling us that "I'm coming," when he's getting his teeth kicked clean down his throat. That moment wasn't about RWB being a teammate trying to win. That was him on a personal beef.

It's so obvious.

As a cancerous team member, Westbrook > TO

Yep. It's self-fulfilling circular logic.

I high-fived your other comment midway through and then had to remove it. Why do you think the Oladipo trade was dumb?

I don't think he's good enough to be a consistent No. 2 scoring option. I realize they were basically just getting what they could for Ibaka, but settling in with Oladipo as your No. 2 was a bad move, at least for this season. Maybe Sabonis makes my analysis of the trade obsolete, but as it stands it seems like a lateral move for both teams.

Maybe "dumb" was a little harsh.

They moved Ibaka for Durant. Then Durant bolted anyway. smh.

No.

The PG who is known to be selfish acts selfishly by being self-centered as his team gets his teeth kicked down his throat. The same guy wouldn't commit to the Thunder until KD left so he could be the guy. He had a rocky relationship with the mild-mannered KD.

Yeah....definitely circular logic.

They never had a bad relationship until Durant decided to go play in California and didn't even have the balls to call Westbrook and tell him.

There was already a link I posted in one of the NBA threads (maybe it was the Denver one) where it talked about tension as early as the second season they played together.

Are you trying to argue that if Westbrook acted unselfishly that they wouldn't have gotten their teeth kicked in?


I love the absurdity of how Westbrook is the selfish one in this scenario. I'm not saying I don't get frustrated with Westbrook's penchant for playing hero ball sometimes, but let's be real and recognize Durant's own selfishness while we're suddenly in the business of criticizing professional athletes for selfish behavior.
