He's been a good scorer in the past, but is a weak distributor, defender, and rebounder. This season he's been bad at scoring. He shoots below league average efficiency, and he's taking more shots than any guard in the league. No bueno. He's just not smart...yet.

I'm with you on Kyrie.

You never give up on young PG's though.

 

[BadJerry20]

So when do stats go out the window and winning factor in? No way you'd honestly take Rubio over Russell Westbrook.

His loathing of Russ far outweighs winning. I'm convinced Huff is Skip and says crazy things to get people going.

 

[BadJerry20]

We'll see how OKC does without Westbrook's 4.4 top36 and .518 TS%. Dude's not even at a 2:1 a:to ratio. That's atrocious. So many moves, but so inefficient.

If you don't think they are a better team with Russ idk what to tell you. I've covered before the load Russ is forced in to. They have better options this year, and he is a lot more in control than past years. Stats are stats watch them play and you can see he's maturing.

 

[BadJerry20]

Yeah, but the Grizz had a great team and OKC wasn't used to playing without Westbrook. Take any starting PG out of any (otherwise competitive) playoff series and replace his minutes with Derek Fisher and see how the team does.

Lol @ great team.

I have nothing against Westbrook. The stats determine how I feel about him as a player. In fact, I love watching him play, I just wouldn't want him on my team if he's getting max pay.

That second sentence is the problem, stats determine how you feel about him.

not necessarily a problem

Better than getting led around by your boner for him.

 

[BadJerry20]

not necessarily a problem

Stats tell him Korver is a top 15 player...that's a problem.

 

[hmanvolfan]

Lol @ great team.

They whipped dat thunder chicken ass so you can stfu.

 

[BadJerry20]

Creative Skip.

 

[n_huffhines]

Well, I'd say more like top 30, but your bias tells you he is not even in the conversation for top 30. That's a problem.

 

[BadJerry20]

Yeah without Russ, how is that great team doing this year?

 

[n_huffhines]

Creative Skip.

I guess you think that one's a winner. Don't let a good joke go to waste, right?

 

[BadJerry20]

Well, I'd say more like top 30, but your bias tells you he is not even in the conversation for top 30. That's a problem.

My bias? Lol There are 15 guys named on the last 3 pages better than him. He isn't close to a top 30 player. And I'm the one being led by a boner.

 

[BadJerry20]

I guess you think that one's a winner. Don't let a good joke go to waste, right?

Exactly, which explain why you say Korver is top 30. Cause that has to be a joke.

 

[BadJerry20]

So you would build your team around Korver before you would Russ?

 

[zjcvols]

Now come on gents, we can talk basketball without involving erections here.

 

[hmanvolfan]

Yeah without Russ, how is that great team doing this year?

The new idiot owners fired the head coach that built the team into a western conference finals caliber team.

 

[n_huffhines]

So you would build your team around Korver before you would Russ?

There is no way I'd pick either one to build around, but yeah, I would take Korver over Russ no matter the circumstance.

 

[BadJerry20]

Now come on gents, we can talk basketball without involving erections here.

Thats debatable

 

[hmanvolfan]

Obviously not a true fan.

Oh lawd. I can't even talk to you anymore. If ignorance is bliss, you must be one happy guy.

 

[BadJerry20]

So not so great.

 

[BadJerry20]

Damn it how did I get roped into this conversation again? Lol
