In retrospect with Harden blowing up like he has and if the proposed Rondo for Westbrook trade was legit than maybe the Thunder would have been better off doing that. Though Rondo holds the rock at least he would be trying to find KD for the shot instead of trying to get his own. I love Russy's game when he is on and engaged but sometimes he just blacks out and does off the wall shyt that doesn't make sense for a player of his caliber. I feel he will have to be moved to the shooting guard position eventually and they are gonna have to find a big defensive minded point guard who can hit an open J.
what if the Thunder traded Westbrook instead of Harden?

great post. i keep telling people that the heat need to mail some of their rings to the thunder or give them some type of artificate. theyre playing a major role in miami's potential 3-peat.
theyre knocking off teams that miami does not want to play. yet, they cant beat miami themselves because theyre stuck as being miami-lite.
and you can thank oklahoma's front court presence for taking care of the spurs, grizz and them.

they need to trade him for a BIG MAN POST PLAYER.... thers not many options tho
with durants deadly range.. that team needs to play inside out.. thats a championship formula thats proven to be scuccefull through out history...
right now there built kind of like MIA but the problem is that they will NEVER be able to beat the heat at their own game the fast run and gun ish..
the only way to beat MIA is to be physical and have a inside defenive and post presence and IBAKA is not THE ANSWER... hes a great weak side defender but he shouldnt be a 3rd option on a championship caliber team..
imagine if they tradedfor LOVE/RUBIO that would be
i would move ibaka to C
rubio
sefalosha
durant
love
ibaka
im a laker fan thojust thinking out loud here.. and i see K.LOVe in LA's future imagine him in D'antoni sysytem his game was made for that system..
They would have the best scorer rebounder passer and shot blocker in the league if this was their team. But they would probably have the most offensively inept backcourt ever. Durant and Love wouldn't make up for that.

Smooth sailing from here on out...
That's the thing though, our most effective lineup has been Russy, Thabo, K-Mart, KD, & any of our bigs. But Brooks refuses to give that lineup any real time against Miami. He'll play them together against anyone else but not the Heat. It is beyond frustrating watching Brooks coach.
We just got Fisher (
) & Brewer. Somehow Brooks has found time to throw Fisher out there for extended minutes yet Brewer can't get any time. Our rookies can't get any time but Fisher shows up & magically gets 15-20 minutes a game. The only upside to his rotations so far has been that he hasn't set Reggie down.

yea it was crazy watchign the finals last year
i watched every game wit my fam and before the game started nikkas would be snappin how Perkins wack ass is starting over Collison
this the finals bro you know damn well perkins cant run wit these boys...plus he is not even a good enough rebounder to make up for that fact...nikka average 5 & 5 lolol
Threads like these show why the overall posting has dramatically fallen off ever since

why would he average more because he went to houstonhe already takes the most shots on his team.
It's a better fit for both teams. Celtics need more of a scoring PG like westbrook, thunder need more of a distributor for KD and Harden
Whether he takes da most shots or not
Hes still playin with the player who leads da league in scoring
Obviously he takin even more shots if he aint in da picture
And houston is a fast paced team that is having crazy scoring games with jeremy lin as their pg
It would b insane with westbrook
