Whats the gap between Westbrook and Wall?

[Higher Tech]

Yeah. Westbrook best trait is also his worst. He plays like his girl is sitting front row. Sometimes you need to slow things down and run an offense.

Russell Westbrook must've taken a couple nikkas hoes in here
Y'all just repeat talking points cause if you actually watched games instead of sport center you'd see Russ passed to KD many times in the 4th during the WCF last year. Those last couple games Durant was choking

 

[Walt]

Exactly. Like I said. He was on no one's radar before the Celtics series.

I've been posting about him all season. And posting positively about Russy for several seasons. Had both of them on my must-see NBA TV list in a post from March 1: Essential - Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

The Coliseum's heel turn on Westbrook is officially complete

 

[GilSho]

nikkas actually choosing Wall?

Call me when John averages double digits in rebounds.

 

[AJtheOne]

the coli likes John Wall now?

I know right, for years they hated on Wall

Westbrook himself generally played pretty poorly against GS all of last year

As for the thread, I don't see a gap and never really did see one between Wall and Russ

 

[e001]

Wall

 

[Jermio]

WITH THOSE SHOOTERS, ATHLETIC WINGS
AND FLOOR SPACING...

I THINK RUSS WINS THE EAST
IF YOU SWAP HIM AND WALL.

WALL WOULDNT BE NEAR AS EFFECTIVE
WITH OKCS LANE CLOGGING
NON SHOOTING ASSES.



​

nikka please. Beal, Markieff, etc. would straight up quit on Westbrook after a couple of his 4th quarter meltdowns.

 

[Jermio]

john wall's superior decision making is something that westbrook can learn

but wall can never learn westbrook's superior athleticism

in terms of performance, the gap between them is closing

but if westbrook comes back next year more focused and willing to learn, the gap will just widen again. it's useless to argue who's better right now

They both choked.

Really? He gonna learn how to have equal decision making to a vastly superior facilitator in his 10th season huh?

the consistent Narrative amongst casuals LIKE you was that if they fit properly together they would work. When n Reality THEY( as in them two) Fit perfectly together Hence there On/off Splits together being the best in the league the last few years. The problem is that the ROSTER itself never fit properly AROUND THEM. Both of them through their entire careers together have been forced into isolation situations due to either having Low 3pt rate players surrounding them or completely Offensively Challenged players(Roberson thabo, perkins, adams, ibaka(besides low rate 3s) etc). its by design westbrook has to be a scoer always been, have you looked at the career usage rsyes of the guys hes started with Thunder management has never given them additional ballhandlers/passers who are able to adjust weak side action, or motion off pindowns. this is not Westbrooks faults this is the thunder organizations completely. Washingston as bad as the bench is(thunders is the worst) has 2 highrate 3pt shooters that can create for themselves. Beal for example takes over 7 3s a game at a 40% rate, westbrook has never had a 3point shooter at this volume, Durant not a shooters he’s a scorer. There’s a big difference. Porter takes over 5 a game at a 44% rate, morris at the low end of the spectrum of 3ptr but can spread the floor of 24%. I can’t name another roster that consistently has a SG/SF that can be completely ignored (thabo/Roberson) because of their inability to create/shoot. Why would westbrook be reluctant to pass to these guys Durant wasn’t relunctant to watch perkins ibaka/thabo Roberson fumble passes either. Are you retarded?

I'd love to see John wall carry these sorry nikkas to 48 wins, he barely did that in Washington

Yeah I don't need a sermon on OKC's shyt front office. I've been consistently shytting on them for years.

Of course KD and Russ had great on and off splits. They're two of the best players in the league. Doesn't mean Russ had any business taking more shots than the best and most efficient scorer of the last 20 years. Made no sense. At least with Curry it's justifiable.
