No it says a lot about how shytty other players are at creating for him and that he has to create for others or the team will fall apart at this point

Definitely don't see an offense with Kevin Durant on it falling apart, and DJ is a solid replacement for WB should he go down at some point.

WB has long been a weak spot up shooter, you don't really want to run pin downs for the man when he's by far at his best when attacking the basket and suddenly stopping on a dime for that mid range pull up. I don't really know why you'd want to create for WB anymore than he has been throughout his career (on well timed cuts, occasional transition bucket), it's just not his game. Thankfully he's surrounded by strong off ball scorers so he's in the ideal circumstance for his talents as a hyper productive slasher.

What context? Getting lapped up over the last couple weeks of the season by a squad featuring a younger, less experienced player with less talent around him?
* Getting lapped up with a huge mid season trade, and missing 3 starters

Team had heavy injuries throughout the season only missed the playoffs by half a game and still won 48 games.

So we gonna act like Russ didn't miss 15 games?

We gonna act like Thunder were only one game out the playoffs?

We gonna act like had Russ not played all 82 games Thunder would have without a doubt made the playoffs and possibly been as high as a 4th seed?

The lapping occurred at the end of the season aka not the middle.

Team had heavy injuries throughout the season only missed the playoffs by half a game and still won 48 games.

NO didn't have injuries? NO got 27 games from a player anywhere near KDs level? (looks forwards to this being misinterpreted or spun).

We gonna act like they weren't up 4 games with 10 to go? We gonna act like AD didn't miss 14 games?


The simultaneous exaltation/plea copping never ceases to amaze me :mjlol:. I can't think of any other player on his level that would get a pass for missing the playoffs after having a 4 game lead for the final spot with 10 games left. KD would be getting killed for that shyt:

"See he can't get it done without Russ."
"What a choke!"
"nikka ain't got no heart."
"He ain't no alpha."

But since it's Russ, we just ignore all those things and talk about his stats. Fine with me, but nikkas gotta be consistent. If they make the WCF last year, it woulda been all about Russ.

:russ: Pelicans without AD still have Gordon,Reke and Holiday:mjlol:

Thunder with no Westbrook or KD is a D-League team.

No comparison.

Anyways Russ>>>>>>>>>>>AD:stopitslime:

Since you wanna take it there:sas1:

:stopitslime:
You realize Russ is averaging almost 10 assist a game right now?
Serge Ibaka and Steven Adams get almost 100% of their offensive production From Russy assist.

But Russy ain't a PG though??

I never hear this about Steph even though he averages LESS assist on a better all around team :patrice:

Why can't Russ and Steph both be great:takedat: Why does it have to be :hula: Why Bush act like he trying to get Osama/ Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama:dj2:

What kind of shytty comparison is this? :dahell: You really comparing Roberson (who didn't even play 20 minutes a night) or a nikka in Morrow who didn't start to 3 starters who were all top 4 on the team in terms of minutes played? :laff:.
So missing your best player without no comparable backup and 3 best defenders is OK . You're a clown :dead:

So in other words you have no response and you recognize that so you would rather ignore it, try to spin shyt and call people names? Okay. "I have no response" or just no response would have been okay too though.
