Yes, because he wouldn't have had to carry the load like he had to.
Russ shoots way more than Steph, what games you be watching

Pretty much like every team with ball dominant superstars sans the Warriors and Spurs.
Russ is my pick for MVP and I respect him way more than KD, but you're acting as if it's merely a case of taking a players production from one team and plugging it into another team. Fit matters. KD was/is a perfect fit for this Warriors team. I don't trust Russ to play off the ball and make the correct decisions he'd have to make in this Warriors scheme. He'd eat off the spacing provided by such a great shooting team, no doubt, but I could see him shooting them out of games at the same time.nikka they won without Russ and KD.
And you know the Cavs team the Warriors beat the first time was no where near the one they faced the last two years
check his shooting %sI don't know about holding him back. But last year it was ridiculous that KD can score 27 in a closeout loss, while westbrook shot 7-21, yet KD gets blamed for "choking" and losing the series.
When I saw that I was saying fukk okc too, cause they obviously didn't know what they were talking about and they took Westbrook's side. So that's who they got to retain. Don't see what there is to be mad about when they made their decision.
He choked. He was ass offensively

Are you really asking me why Russell Westbrook would make poor decisions?Why would he need to shoot if the lanes are wide open?

You just seem like a narrative jockey. When people talk about his decision making I always ask who they feel is out here making better decisions. Because I see players doing these things nonstop, but once a narrative starts, certain player attributes are put under a magnifying glass. Russ' decision making is no worse than any other superstar. He's been burdened with playing around weak-willed players that lack real confidence and he's often willing to take the shots other players are scared to take.Are you really asking me why Russell Westbrook would make poor decisions?
