Miami in 2011 had the 2 best players in the NBA and they lost to a team with 1 all star. OKC duo is not better than Lebron and D Wade in 2011. D Wade was fully healthy that year and he played like Bron's equal efficiency wise. They both shot 52% from the field. Westbrook is still an inefficient chucker. He's not better than 2011 Wade

Nah. Wade was already on the decline at that point. KD and Russ are both in their primes.

26/6/5 on 50% is declining? Westbrook will never be as efficient as D Wade. Don't get enthralled by raw stats. A lot of players could put up pretty numbers on horrible efficiency with a extremely high usage rate. The great players put up great numbers within a winning system. Durant and Westbrook take iso turns on the offensive end
Dwyane Wade

Philly. Fucc a Eagle. I mean dat.
Real shyt my nikka. I'm a fan of Aldridge, always have been since he came in, but what AD just brings to the table defensively outweighs what Aldridge gives you.
I feel you on that. He may not be the best but he top 3 in the position. PF, like PG, is a very deep position of talent

SAN ANTONIO SPURS NY DIVISION
Offensively yeah definitely. He's fearless, will take big shots and he can score. Wouldnt worry too much defensively cause they can find ways to work around that. Just feel like he's due for a breakout year

He played very well in the series against the Clippers and CP3. If Popovich would've played Patty more than Tony that series they probably win. He was obviously the better option especially after Game 5

We lost by 6 simply because the whole starting 5 was getting acclimated to roles either increasing/decreasing..

And implementing LMA...

Even with Danny Green not showing up offensively..

When Pop gets these rotations together and nikkas start playing like clockwork...shyt gonna be lit:noah:

What has this team done that has this legion of stupefied fans on here proclaiming them as the best team in the West basically every year? :why:

Are we talking about the same team whose best season is getting swept in the Finals?

Sure they have two great players, but the team is unbalanced and lacks chemistry, which is simply crucial when we are talking about a team with Championship aspirations. Aside from that you have two ball-dominant scorers who simply do not complement each other well. Westbrook would be better served with a dominant big man while KD would have been better served with a pure PG. Heck they could have kept Harden and acquired a PG who doesn't need touches a la Fisher and would have been better off. Westbrook can't lead this crop of players to a Championship, especially with an oft-injured KD.
