Is Westbrook Better Than Durant?

[Dwight Howard]

2014 Playoff stats.

Westbrook: 26.7/7.3/8.1, 2.2 steals/0.3 blocks/4.4 turnovers .539 TS%, 24.9 PER, .166 WS/48
Durant: 29.6/8.9/3.9, 1 steal/1.3 blocks/3.8 turnovers .570 TS%, 22.6 PER, .145 WS/48

Westbrook was just flat out better when it mattered most. He looked like the better all around player to me.

Playoff Westbrook>>>>>>>>>>>>

KD be having nikkas 6'5 and under put the clamps on him

 

[Dwight Howard]

let it be known I am being dead ass serious when I ask this. I get it, a 6'11 do with an elite shot is rare and harder to defend. BUT..Westbrook does everything on a basketball court and play with 10x the passion of Durant. If anything, they are 1A/1B at this point. I mean how often do we see true first options get outplayed by anyone else on their team in the playoffs? Only case I can think of is LeBron in the 2010 finals.

So Russ is the one who can't get his team over the hump?

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

he's def the more aggressive player, but he's not better than durant. Thats my biggest knock on durant, if he played with the same aggression and passion as westbrook, he'd prob be at lebron's level.

When it matters? Yes

In general? No.

KD gets me mad in the playoffs. Dude just freezes.

nikkas be short as fukk really locking him up

i'm sorry but being a p*ssy doesn't make him better. russ is the best player on the team because of his aggression and his attitude of taking the lead. i'm not gonna give durant brownie points cause he should be better.

russ = best player on OKC
