rose vs westbrook (revisited)

[NV-ME]

but it is a conversation though, right?

 

[Loose]

rose cannot guard wade and be the focal point of the bulls offense. that's asking too much. and neither could russ if u put him on the bulls. like everyone has said, russ can afford to take plays off on offense or have a shytty shooting night cuz he plays with the top scorer in the league.

That makes no sense he's averaging 27 7 7 in the finals what plays is he taking off

IMO, the only thing Rose does better than Westbrook is finish around the basket, he's more controlled in the air... but aside from that, Westbrook is basically better at everything else

Westbrook IS NOT a better playmaker. Rose can control the pace of games better too. They are similar and its a toss up whos better to me but lets be real.

In regards to speed Westbrook looks like he may be faster in a straight line but Rose is quicker in changing directions..

Of course. They are very similar. The fact that Russ has Durant can't be discounted though. Even if he's not scoring Durant still requires attention and takes some pressure of Russ. Can you imagine with a completely green light with the entire D focused on him?

That nikka Russ want to be the best. You can see it in him. LeBron has never had a Finals game like that. At Russ's age, Kobe didn't either. The youngin is balling
Russy - 29ppg, .480% fg, 7rebs, 7asts, .8blk
Bron - 29.3ppg, .472%fg, 10rebs, 6ast, 1.8blk
Wade - 23.3ppg, .413%fg, 6rebs, 6ast, 1.3blk

And before you reply with some smart-dumb nikka comment, it wasn't JUST the fourth quarter where the Heat played a variation of a diamond1 junk defense on Rose, they basically played it throughout the whole series. Rose was the dominant creator and scorer - they focused solely on shutting him down.

stop nikka. just stop.

you the MVP. best league record that year. you suppose to will yourself past 35%.

Kobe faced one of the best NBA defenses in history with no Bynum & Pau acting bytchmade & still put up more than 35% shooting. I dont want to hear that shyt nikka.

Only thing Rose does better is pass at this point....Westbrook a better rebounder, shooter, scorer, plays with more heart, etc..

I'd like to see how Westbrook would deal with being double teamed, and having the entire game plan of the other team designed to stopping you, and not having the BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA on your team in Durant and another top 15 player in Harden.

How would he deal with the collapse of the defense when he drives in when he doesnt have an all star talent around him?.

Fact of the matter is, Derrick Rose deals with double teams, traps, and the 100% attention of the other team, and still is a top 5 player.

Stop being reactionary fans. smh

It would've been a great point except for this nonsense. Durant's top 5, he aint the best

Damn westbrook has alot of heart and skill, I was worried about who I was gonna root for in the league after kobe retires. I wasn't much of a fan of rose or durant even though I respect their game but westbrook is just that dude.

His fukk ups making him even more of a compelling character.

 

[William Bassington]

Get well soon Rose..

let me break it down...

Wetbrook might have the best midrange game in the league right now...when you couple that with his ability to get to the rim, you have a better scorer than Drose...

Westbrook has also shown an ability to rebound the basketball quite well and can defend both the 1 and 2 better than Rose....so yeah for now Westbrook is better than Rose

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

fukk yall..i just enjoy watching both when their shytting on other teams

dont think we forgot

You actually expect Bulls fans to agree that Westbrook is better ? Rose is done. ACL injuries for NBA players mean their career is over.
