Is Westbrook Better Than Durant?

[AJtheOne]

NO

but I understand why some people think he is

 

[Luke Cage]

Westbrook benefits a lot more from Durant than vice versa.

durant would already have a ring if he played with rondo instead of westbrook.
he needs a guy to set him up not compete with him.

Eh, not Rondo. They'd just double off of him and focus entirely on him on defense.

Dragic, Conley, Healthy Rose, Curry, Parker, etc.

Westbrook is great offensively and he's very good but a better decision maker that can still keep defenses honest with good range is all Durant needs.

don't forget their bench is trash and Scott Brooks is still the Coach breh

so he still wouldn't have a ring

I forgot Brooks was coaching. I don't think people realize how bad of an offensive coach he is.

 

[AkaDemiK]

both are mental midgets and choke artists

If they can't get it done this year they're gonna have to seriously look at trading one of them, their games just don't fit together for whatever reason.

well get that the trade rumor thread started....we know exactly how their season will end...and it won't be with either of them standing next to bill russel

durant rondo and ibaka >>> rondo piru and garnett
just get a bench shooter and you got a ring

at the bolded, where's Ray Allen?

he's a free agent.

 

[AJtheOne]

he's a free agent.

you forgot to include him wit KG, Piru, and Rondo

That squad is meh. Ibaka, Perkins, and Sefalosha can't create for themselves and Rondo isn't a good enough scorer to stop them from packing the paint. He's also a bad FT shooter and a meh finisher around the rim.

Spacing is important in today's offense. The celtics won due to their defense, not their offense

You know what I would almost agree with you but I have to take into consideration that they've caught some pretty shytty breaks with Sabo being hurt the season before and Ibaka being hurt last season.

Especially last season. I never really gave Ibaka his credit but that dude is extremely important to their success. And him not being 100% against the Spurs really hurt them.

So yeah, if everything falls right I'd expect them to only have problems with the Clips and Spurs.
