Russell WestBRICK

He is not in his prime and he is nowhere close to a top 15 player.

 

What part of 3’s & layups does Westbrick not understand?
If he is going into Westbrick mode it should be from behind the arch.

 

Agreed.

He had 3 great years, but he’s been in major decline since his “MVP” year.

 

To be fair, he had been playing pretty poorly in a lot of those wins. It came to a head last night because everyone else fell off, but this isn't the first game he was taking stupid shots.

His shooting is going to be a problem. Harden can't be expected to put up 40 efficiently every night and right now we need it.

 

Good win streak, no doubt, but the Rockets are only judged at this point on what they do against the top level teams.

So far...1-2 after Bucks, Clippers, and Nuggets. Clippers up next. We’ll see...

 

I’m fascinated how with Westbrook we have all known and discussed for years why he isn’t anywhere near as good as his reputation. How his poor shooting and terrible shot selection on high volume along with shaky defense make him hard to win with.

Hell when we played OKC any possession that ended with ANY shot from Westbrook was cheered and applauded.

Then he comes to Houston, changes absolutely nothing, and some people have completely forgotten what we have known forever about Westbrook.

 

No way we're a better team with CP3 vs Westbrook.

#teamCP3 needs to get over it.

team chemistry goes a long way and it was over with CP3 and great with westbrook.

 

harden should gave up the ball to westbrook right away before joker can get down court. harden waits for the d to sets up then wanna play iso and when he cant do that he gives the ball up.

 

One loss to a good Nuggets team...at Denver...in November...after an 8 game winning streak. C'mon guys, relax.

 

Chris Paul was 1-7 in 30 minutes last game.

The Thunder are currently under .500, with Chris Paul leading the 22nd worst offense in the league at the 25th slowest pace.

 

No kidding, he is a player who plays with pace, but he is rapidly slowing down.

I still can't believe we got him, he is a better Steve Francis and we saw what happened when his ahtleticism waned, he was not skilled enough to stay in the league.

We literally got a more athletic, less skilled PG......we would be better off keeping CP3, because his contract ended 1 year earlier.

DD

 

and with that he's still putting up solid numbers across the board

 

Explosive, supportive, BFF, low %, Westbrook is waaaaaaaayyyyyy better than an aging, disgruntled, frenemy, CP3 and it's not even close. I never seen Harden this happy ever in a Rockets uniform. Never seen him go so hard defensively this early in the year. Both of those things are great!!

 

to be fair, this seems like recurring thoughts every year he gets a new teammate

 

And what I said is still factually correct.

 

as did I.

 

Not really. You posted an opinion not fact.

 

cool. didn't know 40% from 3 didn't count as solid. good info

much rather prefer someone shooting 22%, is that how it works

 

No, its a fact.

 

well now you know, you're welcome.
