Son is a talented moron who can't seem to realize he's on the same team as the 2 time scoring champ. Trade him to jerz for dwill.

You didn't see when Ibaka tried to talk to Westbrook and he ran away?Originally Posted by Big J 33
He had a good game today. Hell the first play they ran a pick and roll and he hit his man perfectly for the assist. I saw him later in the game use his athleticism to get to the rim then pass to the open man for the jumper. I saw him defer to Durant throughout the game (rightfully so). And I also saw Durant make a stupid pass to half court that was stolen, then followed that with a cheap foul. A simple mistake but if Westbrook did that he would have been singled out and mocked.
I think at this point people are looking solely for the bad and ignoring any good. No one should deny Russ can be out of control at times and could/should be a better distributor than scorer.. His turnovers are also ridiculous, and ideally if he learns to slow down at times that will cut down on the TOs. But right now they're winning. When I see the problems occur this season, then I'll get concerned.

what makes him a combo guard?
He's the primary ball-handler, he creates for teamates, he doesn't play off the ball....I'm confused to whats "combo" about D.Rose. You are aware point guards are allowed to score right especially if they are the only player on their team that can create a shot.
Delonte West, Ben Gordon, Toney Douglas, Josh Selby, Jerryd Bayless, Mo Williams...those are combo guards. Big difference.
He's the primary ball-handler by default on that team, he creates for teammates from driving and kicking out mostly (ala A.I), again by default (skillset, size, and team). Asking what's combo about Rose is like asking what's combo about Chauncy Billups?
Sure, and I also saw tons of positive things. If you're going to just single out the bad and ignore everything else, is there anything to actually discuss with you?Originally Posted by Big J 33

He put up 18 in 25 mins tho.

If you think he only way he creates is driving and dishing then you aren't watching the games. He runs the pick and rolls great. He actually swings the ball to shooters. He's an amazing player who is still unselfish. Combo means you have some type of 2-guard in you. He doesn't.
Well based on a simple police sketch/report, their reports would read very similarly. Of course Rose shooting the 3 would be the big difference. They are similar players. One is just the black swan and the other is the white swan.Originally Posted by MonStar1
I makes me sick to hear Derrick Rose get put in the same sentence also. Westbrook will never be the player Derrick Rose is.

Glad to see the hate on Russ has died down, considering the vast majority of it was undeserved and illogical.

And good point about how many of us assume that going to KD is ALWAYS the better option. He is human and he has his off days just like you said. But I would like to see him defer a little more in certain situations. There were times last season that a conspiracy theory dude could say that WB looked like he was point shaving.
But I enjoy watching him play but it isn't because of him playing the game the right way. It is more because of his explosiveness.
But I still stand by my point of him vs. Rose isn't that crazy of a discussion.
