'The Thunder don't need Westbrook's scoring' - @GoddamnyacacProf

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

A question for everyone - did/do the Thunder have enough offensive weapons to make up for Westbrook's scoring? Do the Thunder actually need Westbrook's scoring? Would they be better off with a pass-first PG or does the current 1-2 Durant and Westbrook scoring punch work?

This isn't a Westbrook vs Durant thread, so save all that talk.

Questions based on (keep in mind this was said last season):

edit*

Man, look at all the damn weapons on the Thunder. I know you love to play this "but OKC needs Westbrook's scoring!" shyt but its simply not true. Paul would have them as LEGIT contenders to Miami, instead of just a really fun runner up squad.

Actually, a cp for russlebrook trade straight up would help both teams, since the Clippers actually have the scoring issues you claim OKC does, and could benefit from an aggressive, score-first presence like Russ.

My point was they'd be better replacing Westbrook with a real pg, not simply removing him.

Also keep in mind:

Series against the Grizzlies (without Westbrook)

Ibaka: - 12.6 points on 37%
Perkins - 2.3 points on 16% (not to mention he averaged 23 minutes)
Sefolosha - 4.6 points on 37%
Fisher - 9.0 points on 40%
Martin - 14.1 points on 41%

Below stats/graphs don't incorporate games from this season (only from April 2013 and before):

Thunder-career winning percentage when Westbrook scores more= 71%

Thunder-career winning percentage when Durant scores more= 67%

This season the Thunder are 21-3 when Westbrook outscores Durant.

lol he ducking this thread.

This thread is misleading. Prof was arguing that CP3 was a better fit for the thunder than Westbrook.

Look, I can take things out of context, too. Look at my sig!

 

[USSInsiders]

Not reading all that shyt in OP, but the Thunder aren't the Thunder without both of them, and that's utter bullshyt that they don't need Russ. Russ is a monster.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Somebody on this board was just telling me earlier today that the Thunder don't need Russy and will win without him.

Being intentionally misleading should be banworthy.

How does the defeat the purpose of what he said? He said they don't need his scoring because they have all these weapons on their team. Which offensive weapons are these?

How can you interpret 'they don't need Westbrook's scoring' as anything else + historical evidence proves how successful they are when Westbrook scores more than Durant.

You gave the impression he was saying the THunder would be better off with Anthony Carter's corpse rather than Westbrook. Instead he's basically saying the thunder would be better with CP3, who is probably the best PG in the league?

Really, it's crazy to say the thunder would benefit from a cp3/westbrook swap?

Most importantly, you should have provided full context. Your post is misleading, period.
