Westbrook

[thunderc]

Rockin the mask and headband with 16 pts, 6 boards, 3 assists and a steal. That's the 1st quarter. I think he's ok.

He gets my vote for MVP.

 

[RazorsEdge]

He's a feckin beast. He'll continue to be right there with Steph and Harden in the conversation.

 

[BobGnarly]

4th straight triple-double for him tonight. First player since MJ to do it

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Westbrook is putting up Big O type numbers. Incredible play.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

MONSTA!

 

[GNG]

MONSTA!

Yes he is....

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Hey, he even did it efficiently this time!

Dude's an animal.

Nah. Not unless OKC passes Golden State(Curry) or Houston(Harden) in the standings. Plus he's missed a good portion of the season… both those things will hurt him too much in the end.

hes the best in the nba right NOW. in every way. best player. best to watch. most valuable.

incredible. hard to believe him and durant haven't won anything together.

even harder 5 years later to believe him harden and KD never won anything

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Is he the best player or just a stat stuffer? We'll see come playoff time. This is the year for OKC to prove themselves, especially once they get healthy.

'just' a stat stuffer?

How can you be a stat stuffer in close games? Stat stuffer are those who are nowhere to be found until the 4th quarter when the game is already decided and start to put up numbers

'just' a stat stuffer?

Hard to comprehend? Is he a winner or just great at getting his #'s… He shoots a lot, and is an athletic freak of nature that has unreal talent… but I'm waiting for him to take the next step. If he can do this come playoff time then we can start talking about him being an All-Time Great.

You're thinking of stat padding. I'm saying is he just someone that get's #'s and doesn't put his TEAM in position to win (once KD gets back things will get interesting) or will he settle down and let KD do more of the heavy lifting (which is what's best for the team).

 

[Arizona_Sting]

OKC in the playoffs has had two problems:

1) Westbrook being TOO aggressive putting up ridiculous shots (more of when he was younger)

2) KD not being aggressive enough and taking over games…

If they find the balance this year then they may finally get over the hump. If not, I just don't see them working out long-term together.

Yeah I read it wrong. My bad.

When KD comes back his points should drop but he should be able to rack up the same amount of assist and rebounds.

Also Westbrook doesn't know how to take a back seat and let KD be the top dog which is why they'll never win a ship together IMO

No one called him an All-Time Great and Hockey did use the qualifer 'now' when he said Westbrook is the best player.

First player to put up these numbers since Oscar Robertson, if he's just a stat stuffer then he's stat stuffing at a legendary level right now

Unless RW & KD can find a balance between themselves come playoff time then they're done.

LeBron, Curry, Davis, Durant--- and some people would prob argue Harden though I would not---- only guys in the league better than RW...
