Thibs has got to be Coach of the year

NT always living in the moment. 2 games back for Westbrook and now OKC needs to get rid of him

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Jeff Van Gundy is so wrong. Without LeBron, Miami would be a 6th seed in the East attest. Dwyane can't even stay healthy for crying out loud.

Lol You really believe D Wade be hurt?

Coach Popavich(sp?) would like a word with you.

I see all that knee treatment he gets. His knees are brittle.

Nope 1 or 2nd seed bruh

Miami without LeBron is not even better than Chicago, let alone Brooklyn. I can't even see them take on Washington in a series without LeBron.

Either him or Hornaceck.

Yes its a mental thing imo
KD is losing his confidence since westbrook is back
KD doesnt have that franchise player confidence anymore
its like back when Lebron was on the cavs he was the superstar and only relied on himself
to carry the team so he made the big plays and tried everything he could to win

Since KD has westbrook back he doesnt have to play with the same intensity or heart because he can fall back on his team

EDIT: the best way i can explain it is
back when Ellis and Curry were on GSW
Ellis was the man (like Durant)
Curry was Westbrook

now look what happened
Curry is the man now

i think this is what Durant fears

They don't *need* to get rid of him, they're still an elite team with or without him. The point is that the way he plays doesn't elevate the team to its highest potential.

 

[IATT]

Okc averages 82.1 attempts per game (good enough for 20th).. Also attempt 24.2 free throws per game (10th)


Durant is currently averaging the same amount of shot as he did his 3rd season in the league (20.3).. As many would guess, Westbrook was the starting PG then

*puts tin foil hat on*

LeBron easily could have played but decided not to cause he wants the Heat to lose so it'll show MVP voters they need him



first game was great, fisher god still alive

Nah, that boy just wanna sit down for a minutes.

I've been saying it for a few years. I never liked him at the 1. At least put him at the 2

Cool, I'm a Heat fan...

Keep holding on to Westbrook...

We will

 

[nelson999]

I guess nobody watched OKC in the playoffs last year after Westbrook got hurt.....

The disrespect . Brooklyn and Washington can't even stay over .500.

 

[herbshuttles15]

When the Thunder play Memphis or San Antonio in the playoffs that's when they definitely need Westbrook

Right?  Here we go with the "LeBron doesn't have very much help" people again

Take LeBron off of that Miami team and they are still #2 in the East behind Indiana

I bet it does...

 

[antidope]

Miami without LeBron is still the second best team in the East what are you saying @DipsetGeneral  

 

[nelson999]

Gotta love Eastern conference games. 27-24 with 6 mins left in the half 

 

[dt43]

I guess nobody watched OKC in the playoffs last year after Westbrook got hurt.....

How does that justify Westbrook doing stupid **** on the court?

He needs to stop playing like a knucklehead, period. This isn't just based on these last two games, over his whole career I've always felt that he needs to improve his bball IQ.

If lebron was playing, this would be a blowout already

i don't disagree with your comment at all. but people saying the team is better without him is just ridiculous.
