    Are you stupid?

    We have stats, we have info, that is easily tracked.

    Paul has been better than Westbrook this year and last year.

    And yet on a vastly worse team....

    Paul has a better net rating than Westbrook and his win shares/48 is more than twice as good as Westbrook.

    Take away Russ's 3pt shooting and we are actually much better.

    the stats show Chris Paul was 1-7 last game and leading one of the worst offenses in the league.

    he's on a worst team because he's on it.

    You put this Westbrook on a team with no expectations where he has free reign to do whatever he wants, and he's averaging a 30 point triple double [this is an opinion btw].

    Wedtbrook through 15 games this year is better than the rockets were with cp3 through 15 games last year. Pace is better, rebounding it better. ****, Westbrook dominated at he beginning of the year when Harden was complete trash to start the year, and we won games we shouldn't have because of him

    Westbrook averaging 30 point triple doubles while playing losing basketball has been his M.O. for a long time now.

    You aren’t saying anything we don’t all already know.

    What we are trying to tell you that despite the lesser box scores and playing for a worse team, Paul has done more for winning games than Westbrook has.

    Stats are available to quantify this and they all back this up.

    The ROCKETS having a better record doesn’t prove that Westbrook has been better for us than CP3 was to start last year.

    Again the winning stats show Harden and CC are playing WAAAAY better to start this year than last year, hence a better record to start the year.

    when Westbrook was averaging 30 point triple doubles they were still winning tho?

    Chris Paul is putting up meh, i mean "solid" numbers and his team is losing.

    Westbrook is a part of the ROCKETS record. His ability to push the pace, give the rockets another slasher besides harden, and rebound, gave the rockets things they didn't have to start the season last year. Like I said, we won games to start the year when harden was terrible that we wouldn't have won without Westbrook.

    ****, you had analyst saying this was "Westbrook's team' to start the year lol

    And all of that is irrelevant to the statement you claimed was an opinion.

    Paul is better than Westbrook so far this year at.....

    Win shares
    Win shares/48
    Box plus minus
    Net rating
    Value over replacement
    TS%
    PER
    538s new stats, RAPTOR and wins above replacement

    Every single one of them. Paul is better.

    And that’s with Paul having a MUCH worse cast of characters around him.

    Are you stupid?

    Saying "Chris Paul is putting up solid numbers" is an OPINION because the gauge where you rate what solid is or isn't is up for interpretation, so it's not a FACT.

    So yes, saying "Chris Paul is putting up solid numbers" is an opinion, just as much as saying "Westbrook is putting up solid numbers'

    [​IMG]

    Paul: Less shots, higher PER, higher FG%, higher 3pt %, higher FT%, higher ORTG, better, DRtg, Higher TS%, getting to the line more, better steal rate, less turnovers, better WS / 48, better OBPM, better DBPM, better BPM

    WB: Rebounds a lot better, Blocks more shots

    I was hopeful that Westbrook might have a resurgence in a better situation, but he just flat out sucks at this point. Frankly I would rather have Clemens play at this point. The fact of the matter here is that we paid a ton of picks to take a massive downgrade. Tillman ****ed us.

    But you know, this is just an opinion. People could interpret stats in a totally different way.....lol

    At least he will take the shot

    So tired of the team working for the shot
    Only to have the player hesitate and pass it
    Then we in full scramble mode or give it to James and hope mode

    and Westbrook has a higher PPG, higher RPG, higher APG, while playing alongside a 40% usage player, while improving the rockets pace and rebounding. So now what.

    I guess now I stop going back forth with the guy who uses points per game, rebounds per game and assists per game to judge who is a better player.
