Russ has been playing 32 mins since he came back... the overall minutes are a little skewed because he had that injury shortened 9 min game when he first got hurt, and he only played 24 mins his first game back.
Lets talk about Russell Westbrook being most dominant PG w/ broken hand

Russ has been playing 32 mins since he came back... the overall minutes are a little skewed because he had that injury shortened 9 min game when he first got hurt, and he only played 24 mins his first game back.
But if you look beyond the stats you will also see Russy is on a team, in a system he has been in his entire career. LeBron just joined a brand new team that is still trying to feel itself out, he's the one in charge of putting it all together and making it work with himself, Kyrie and Love. And even with all that confusion, he's still putting up numbers among the top of the NBA, and very similar to what Westbrook is putting up now in his supposed GOAT season.
This is no knock on Russy.. he is playing his best ball right now and his stats are clearly better than anyone in the league since he came back, but you can't just flat out say he's playing better than LeBron. It's not that black and white when you look at the situations each is in.

Which is why if you take out that game he's averaging 28.8 ppg on 49.7% shooting, 7.1 assists, 6.4 rebounds on 31.7 minutes per game ..... in six less minutes than Bron.

People were saying the exact same shyt about Davis 2 weeks ago so stop with this small sample size stat BS. 
look man. this has nothing to do with the Cavs. Bron just don't look like himself. beyond the numbers, all you have to do is watch. he does not look the same. he's playing an old man's game now rather than the freak athlete he used to be.
the freak athlete in the league is now Westbrook. he's simply on another level athletically than everyone else. to me its like comparing 2003 Kobe to 2010. numbers are kinda close and 2010 Kobe was still an elite player. but he wasn't the athlete he used to be. he lacked that pop that made him special. I see Bron vs. Westbrook like that. Bron is just too old now to dominate the way Westbrook does.
