Let's not act like Westbrook can 'comfortably' run an offense, when he's the worst at it amongst all the elite PGs
- least of all the reason as to why the Thunder have the best record in the league.

:kat: Westbrook has "comfortably" ran this team for 2 years now, last time i was "uncomfortably" with him running the team was two years ago in dallas. He's 100% behind the reason why we have the best record in the league, and why durant/ibaka is effective down the stretch. this team goes as far as he goes. he doesn't show up we lose.

At the top.
Paul George needs to move up, Griffin needs to move down (dude is not that nice at all), Lillard could go up a couple of spots too.

Stats are a part of it but you also have to look at what some of these guys have done for their team. Paul George got Indiana near the top of the East with their alleged star in Granger out. Lillard got the Blazers in a PO spot in his rookie season (as it stands right now). I'd also move Steph Curry ahead of Brook Lopez, that dude is soft as shyt on the boards.

Oh, and who the hell is Larry Sanders!? John Wall could at least use an honorable mention ..when healthy dude seems alright.

:salute: to Ed Davis!

He's juggled playmaking duties with Harden the last two seasons, stop acting like he's be doing it solo. Learn to read - I said his ability to run the offense/decision making has been the least contributing factor to the Thunder's success, I NEVER made mention of anything else. And stop acting like his decision making hasn't been the most criticized part of his game.

DeAndre Jordan being on there is hilarious, Drummond is already better than that dude :laugh:

What's funny about that is I was begging for Joe to draft Jordan in the 2nd rd that year when he fell cause it was a perfect fit. Forgot what trash he picked but I was fukking heated. Years later all wrongs have been righted and we got a nikka who's floor is Deandre Jordan. Hated when I would see analyst saying that was his ceiling. Just lazy analysis tbh. Jordan wishes he had the touch around the basket and body control that Drummond already has.

Paul shot 36% in the series against SA when they got swept last year.

He couldn't create enough to have Blake shoot more than 50% that series but he was gonna have Boozer finishing shots? He was gonna make Korver knock down the shots he was missing that series?

Rose has been a better scorer & playmaker than Westbrook his entire career. People have forgotten in less than a year?

:rudy: Both players were injured vs the spurs blake had a sprained knee and paul had a sprained thumb on his shooting hand

Give chris paul a top 2 defense and the #1 rebounding team like rose had in 2011 and they're going to the finals.Great pg's make others better rose doesn't nikkas overrate rose crazy on here
