Curry playing like the best player in the league, Westbrook playing out of control, looking drunk on the court

I would rather have Westbrook on my team over Curry. i am not sure there is an absolute argument for either, but I am confident that if they switched places, Curry could not put up the type of numbers that Westbrook is producing.

OKC just doesn't have any talent beyond Westbrook. They used to be such a powerhouse.

Meh, F em. Too bad suckas. Keep booing!

How is Magic still an analyst if he is employed by the Lakers?

From a pure numbers perspective, sure Curry wouldn't post similar numbers as Westbrook because Westbrook is a freak of nature, but when you bring Westbrook on your team, you get your fair share of contested low percentage jumpers, out of control drives, and lackadaisical off ball defense. Of course Westbrook's mistakes are partially because of OKC's horrendous spacing, but this game is just a prime example to me that he's not a great decision maker, despite him averaging double digit assists.

WB has low basketball IQ. He's averaging 1.1 TO more than last season with less assists. FG has dropped from 45.4 to 41.9%. That's why I'd give MVP to harden. A contender would rather have Curry. Maybe OKC would have won a championship if they had Durant, Curry and Adams.

Blame the gm and management for blowing it.
They had Harden,Durant, and Westbrook and didn't do much other than a Finals appearance.

Even after that atrocity of a trade, they seriously couldn't get any two-way player better than Andre Roberson, who is pretty much just a more athletic version of Tony Allen?

Pace yourselves Thunder fans. Durant's got a long career of playing not in OKC left in the tank.

No way Westbrook is better than Curry. He's just not efficient enough. If you took Steph's 3-point prowess away from Golden State and gave them RW instead, their offensive efficiency as a team would plummet.

Why does the media say "omg player X is so underrated/undervalued" when they have the control to rate player X properly?

Breen keeps pushing this "close friends" agenda when all reports and indications are that they were not in fact close friends.

OKC seems to have given up. Sad.
