I was the first dude on this board to bring up how his triple doubles are empty and harmful to the team. But that's beside the point, because Oladipo's inconsistent play last season wasn't down to Westbrook. He played well during the first month (November - funnily enough, we're the same month now), then he got injured in early December and could never regain his early-season form when he did come back.You have?

So I'm supposed to dismiss a whole career over 4 games
Homie is Jeff Green at SGI ain't got time for this
Is 15 more games enough of a sample size now?
Oladipo putting up 23-4-5 on 46/45/80 shooting splits, plus strong defense, as the #1 for a 12-9 Indiana team that everyone and their momma said was headed to the lottery.
You're talking a team whose #2-5 scorers are Bogdonovic, Turner, Young, and Sabonis.
Meanwhile, Westbrook has PG13, Carmelo, and Adams and is struggling to 8-11 while putting up ugly-ass efficiency once again.
The Thunder should overtake the Pacers eventually this year, their overall talent is too strong not to. But Oladipo definitely has proved himself - last year's struggles had nothing to do with any lack of ability on his part. He's going to put up 20ppg this year leading a team that will win just about as many playoff games as the Westbrook Thunder won last year.

Why is this cornball quoting me when he wasn't even watching the Thunder last season?

This needs to be quoted again, since someone has a hard time separating his agenda from reality -
He (Oladipo) actually was performing well at the start of the season, in November he averaged 17 ppg on 50 FG%, and 44 3-pt%, and started to find his groove within the offense. He then injured his wrist in early December and was out for pretty much the entire month. He came back and averaged 16 ppg in both Jan and Feb, and then he got injured again (back), returned and averaged 17 ppg in the remainder of March. Even when he came back initially from his first injury, his wrist was still bothering him all the way up until he injured his back (Thunder journal: Back injury gave Oladipo's wrist a rest).
Funnily enough, he had his most efficient season of his career, yet somehow Westbrook was a detriment to his game. Go figure.
Westbrook's "best" to get him involved in the offense had results of:
They were one of, if not the BEST two-man combo out of any Thunder lineup in terms of points differential, FG%, FGM, 3P%, AST (regular season + postseason). Oladipo was 12th in catch-and-shoot attempts out of all guards (4.9 per game, more than he ever had in Orlando - Curry for example only had 0.2 more C&S attempts), more opportunities than the likes of: Bradley=, KCP, Snell, Crabbe, Danny Green, Fournier, Harris, McCollum, Hood and Middleton.
2016/17 catch-and-shoot (with Westbrook) - 4.9 attempts at 54 eFG%
2015/16 catch-and-shoot (in Orlando) - 3.4 attempts at 51 eFG%
2014/15 catch-and-shoot (in Orlando) - 2.6 attempts at 47 eFG%
2013/14 catch-and-shoot (in Orlando) - 2.1 attempts at 50 eFG%
Like I said above, the fact you don't think Westbrook didn't do his best to get Oladipo involved throughout the game tells me one of a few things (or a combination of all): you either didn't watch enough Thunder games, you're overrating Oladipo's ability - he's typically been inefficient/inconsistent all throughout his career, or your agenda against Westbrook is crossing over into irrational territory.
Mentally a wreck from what exactly? What terrible positions did Westbrook put Oladipo under? The terrible position where he had the most efficient season of his career, in almost every shooting category? How dare Westbrook!

Wait, last year we had dozens of people saying Oladiopo was trash, couldn't shoot, holding Westbrook down, had no talent. All to further the 
agenda.
All season long I say that Oladipo is a talented, above-average two-way guard who can definitely be a worthy #2 for a playoff team.
This year he further proves it, I point that out, and I get a bunch of "only 4 games in and he's not really all that good" bullshyt.
15 games later he still doing it, and now the narrative is, "Yeah, but he was good last season too!"
Ya'all gonna have to see a chiropractor soon as much work as you been putting in moving these goalposts around.

Bosh's last year in Toronto - 24 ppg on 51.8% shooting, 36% 3-pt shooting, 10.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists
Bosh's first year in Miami - 18.7 ppg on 49% shooting, 28% 3-pt shooting, 8.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists
I guess that must mean Bosh suffered from the same thing Oladipo suffered from. Oh no wait - Oladipo had his most efficient season of his career playing with Westbrook (despite all the injuries), whereas Bosh went backward in nearly every area. I wonder who he was playing with....

I’m saying he was playing good in Orlando then got traded and played like shyt in OKC then to get traded again to Indy and playing all world..
shyt is weird but I’m looking at the obvious.. either that OKC system is straight ass or like you said WB stats are empty and don’t affect the overall play on that team
You gotta have vertigo by now with all the spinning in circles you been doing trying to find new places to put your goalposts.
Bunch of posters been sayin that Oladipo was a worthless player last year who couldn't amount to anything. I been on their necks. You got nothing.
So you deflect and say he's nothing special this year. I point out that he's ripping things up, top-5 in scoring among all guards while maintaining top-10 shooting efficiency and top-10 3pt%, creating his own shots, distributing well within the offense and playing strong defense for a 12-9 team. You can see how his team feeds off his play too. The ONLY guards who are scoring at that level with that kind of efficiency while playing both ways are Curry, Klay, and Kyrie. You got nothing.
You tried to diminish him by calling Indiana a "mediocre/bad team." Now he led that "mediocre/bad team" to a 12-9 record with wins over Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota, Toronto, and San Antonio. That one backfired. You got nothing.
You simultaneously try to deflect with "it's only 4 games." Now we at 20 games and if anything he's played even better. You got nothing.
So now you trying to jump to, "But he was actually good last year," which flies in the face of what the haters were arguing and what this whole thread is about. Tell that to them, not me.
And then you obsessively HAD to bring Bron into it too because he been camped out in your frontal lobe for a minute now.
The Bosh argument full of bs too. Bosh only hit 8 threes total in ALL of 2010, talking about his 3pt% from that year some silliness from you. He never once was shooting threes until the 2nd half of his stint in Miami. Bosh's overall 2007-2009 shooting numbers were worse than his 2011 numbers, so cherry-picking 2010 to make it look like 2011 was an off year some more bullshyt. His totals went down some because he moved from his 7th season in the same offense as the #1 to a brand new season as the #3, but I've always said that Bosh still played well, he just had a smaller role, which is the opposite of what the Westbrook stans been saying about Oladipo. You just had to find some way to hate on Lebron in the conversation, no matter how much it took to get there.
If you wanted to be an honest poster, you could say, "Yeah, the haters are wrong, Oladipo always had talent, and he's balling out this year." But you CAN'T say that straight up, you gotta twist it to defend Westbrook and hate on Bron.
You got too many agendas to maintain nowadays - your posting has been on some bullshyt this year.

I was wrong about you - you really are a dishonest piece of shyt.
I NEVER said Oladipo was a "worthless, shytty player last year who couldn't amount to anything" in this thread, to group me in with those posters that said that, is the same thing you accused me of doing when I called out those who were wrong about Kyrie (which I might add you were guilty of). Again, this is just another instance of you being hypocritical. When this thread was made he wasn't doing anything special, as it was only a handful of games. I specifically added to my argument that he had been playing well in November last season too - you can't accuse me of moving the goalposts because I made my position clear to you during the initial argument we had in this thread.
How the fukk you're gonna say "I got nothing" is some straw man nonsense. I was arguing against your point about how detrimental Westbrook was to Oladipo's play last season - I proved you WRONG. Nothing that happens from here on out will prove otherwise. Oladipo had his most efficient season of his career next to Westbrook, all the while dealing with multiple injuries; injuries which were the main cause for him being inconsistent last season - not Westbrook.
You were wrong.
On that note, I'm not interested in your analysis of Oladipo's play either. I can tell by the way you're phrasing your argument you haven't even watched Indiana play this season. It's just your usual vague description based on what you see from the box-score routine.
What the hell are you even talking about? You're so wrapped up in your agenda against Westbrook you can't keep up with your own arguments. He was good during the month of November, before he got injured - I told you this during our initial argument. The argument that we ended up having was based on you stating that Oladipo was a "mental wreck" and was constantly put in "terrible positions all season long" due to Westbrook, dumbass. You were wrong. What others said in this thread had nothing to do with what we were arguing, fool. You then re-quoted a post of mine, and now you're telling me to tell them that when I was responding to you quoting me.So now you trying to jump to, "But he was actually good last year," which flies in the face of what the haters were arguing and what this whole thread is about, dumbass. Tell that to them, not me, fool.
Lord have mercy.
If your aim was to re-quote posts who said or insinuated Oladipo was "worthless" (which is what you've said to me in this very post), you should've left my posts out of it. Like I said above, you're grouping me in with posters spewing a narrative which I never participated in. I even specifically informed you of my position over his play last season in our first argument in this thread, so I don't even know why you'd re-quote me in the first place.
And for your information, the threadstarter is a Harden dikkrider who's been doing every thing he can (even blatantly lying) to drag Westbrook's name through the mud because he's still salty Westbrook won the MVP last season.
Your agenda against Westbrook started because of your obsession with LeBron, as if typically does when you go on these crusades - almost all of the time they're really about LeBron.And then you obsessively HAD to bring Bron into it too because he been camped out in your frontal lobe for a minute now.
The Bosh argument full of bullshyt too. Bosh only hit 8 threes total in ALL of 2010, talking about his 3pt% from that year some bullshyt from you. He never once was shooting threes until the 2nd half of his stint in Miami. Bosh's overall 2007-2009 shooting numbers were worse than his 2011 numbers, so cherry-picking 2010 to make it look like 2011 was an off year some more bullshyt. His totals went down some because he moved from his 7th season in the same offense as the #1 to a brand new season as the #3, but I've always said that Bosh still played well, he just had a smaller role, which is the opposite of the shyt the Westbrook stans been saying about Oladipo. You just had to find some way to hate on Lebron in the conversation, no matter how much bullshyt it took to get there.
You mean just like you cherry-picking box score numbers to push your narrative? I'm using your logic. You see what happens when you relay surface stats with no context behind them? I keep showing you this mirror and yet you still can't recognize the face staring back at you. You see how it's funny how you attempt to attach the appropriate context when it concerns LeBron, but aren't willing to make the same effort when it comes to players you don't like.
Mirror, mirror, mirror.
If you wanted to be an honest poster, you could say, "Yeah, the haters are wrong, Oladipo always had talent, and he's balling out this year." But you CAN'T say that straight up, you gotta twist it to defend Westbrook and hate on Bron.
@DonKnock made this thread to shyt on Westbrook - he was NEVER trying to get folk to acknowledge Oladipo's ability for what it is, he was just using him as a vessel to push his agenda against Westbrook. Which is why my initial statement was "Don't blame Westbrook for Oladipo's poor performances last season.", because I saw right through his bullshyt. Which is the honest truth - Westbrook wasn't the cause of his poor/inconsistent performances. Injuries, inconsistency was ultimately Oladipo's undoing last season. This is again, another example of you trying to blame Westbrook for anything and everything that you can manipulate folk into believing.
The nerve of you pointing the finger about honesty and twisting shyt, when you've lied all throughout this thread to spam your dishonest fictive about Westbrook. If you're really about honesty, you'd turn this thread make on its creator and call him out, but you won't do that cause both of y'all have hands on the oars that row the boat of Westbrook-hate.
