How are you gonna sit there and pretend like Paul has more offensive talent around him when Westbrook has the best scorer in the league on his damn list?
Because he does, overall he does. One player (Durant) doesn't somehow negate the fact that the Clippers have a more talented and balanced starting/most minutes lineup.
Clippers:
Crawford - a career-high 20+ PPG scorer and is still capable of producing that and can create his own shot.
Butler - a career-high 20+ PPG scorer who isn't the scoring threat that he once was but still can put up double digit scoring and can create his own shot.
Griffin - a career-high 20+ PPG scorer who is nearing his prime and can create his own shot.
Jordan - a career-high 8+ PPG scorer who is limited in creating his own shot (partly due to not enough touches).
Thunder:
Sefolosha - a career-high 8+ PPG scorer who is limited in creating his own shot.
Durant - a career-high 30+ PPG scorer who can create his own shot.
Ibaka - a career-high 13+ PPG scorer who is limited in creating his own shot.
Perkins - a career-high 10+ PPG who basically can't create his own shot.
Can't you see that's why the Thunder need Westbrook's scoring?
First of all you cant even compare them like CP "has" this guy and Russell "has" this guy because they dont even share the same roles or relationships with their respective teammates.
Yes you can, because you're saying the Thunder would be more effective with Paul. When Paul heads a more offensive talented team, yet they produce less offense than the Thunder (who have less offensive talent).
How's Paul suppose to make a less-talented offensive Thunder team more productive, when he can't even make his more-talented offensive team surpass the threshold of where the Thunder are at(offensively) right now?
And youre actually trying to give credit to Westbrook for the Thunder's offense, totally ignoring the main reason for their success and pretending like hes just a guy in Westbrook's offense, and then trying to use that laughable farce as a basis to claim Westbrook runs a more effective offense than CP, when CP has no one close to a Kevin Durant on his team!
Why do you constantly spin shyt? I never gave the entire credit to Westbrook for the Thunder's offense - where did I say or imply that? I gave credit to him being the main one that pushes the tempo and keeps them on the front foot. The Thunder need this when Durant sometimes fades in and out during the game.
The main reason for their success is Durant and Westbrook - they're basically 1a and 1b. They're just as important as each other. Does Westbrook run a better offense in the traditional sense? No. Has he had more success than Paul has with the way he plays point guard this season? Yes.
Westbrook has been the best performing PG this season.
If that wasnt already goofy enough, you just admitted a few minutes ago that Westbrook doesnt even know HOW to run an offense. Now suddenly he not only can run an offense
but he "does more with less" than Chris Paul.
What a tremendous mountain of bullshyt
He doesn't know how to run an offense in the traditional sense or how to properly breakdown defenses through pro-typical point guard play. The way he runs the offense is by doing impromptu PNRs and funnelling out to shooters and drawing players on drives. He does more with less in that: he's near-equal 1st in importance on a more productive team (+ he heads the offense) with less overall offensive talent than Paul has with the Clippers.
Do I have to spell out everything for you?




Yup, that's that Kobe bullshyt creepin in again. 


' type shyt.
But throw in a guy that gets it like Chris Paul and it happens immediately.
