Just keep watching as the season goes on, that team is a not going to do well if Westbrook keeps playing the way he is playing (which he will do), they are just lucky they have a lot of "talent".
Thunder vs Grizz Westbrook- 19 shots for 17 points Durant- 21 shots for 34 points Is this gonna go on all season?
Its not just the shots, the team has no direction or play making what so ever. Martin is being rendered useless cause noone is setting him up, biggest bunch of misfits now so stupid to trade Harden haha.
I was just joking. However, I wouldn't say they're nothing alike. They have similarities in their games. They both have tremendous lateral movements and have a knack for moving into their defender as they get closer to the rim. They both are underrated passers. They are both finishers at the rim and finishers at the end of the game (of course Wade being better at almost all of these comparisons). Again, I wasn't serious that he is the next Dwayne. I was just being a dramatic Rockets' fan.
Harden has as much potential as Westbrook. I think the Harden vs Westbrook debate is a legit debate. Sure Westbrook is more athletic and will always be, but Harden is just crafty. I know the knock on Harden will be "He only plays well against bad teams." well he only plays great against bad teams, destroying such teams and getting layups when he feels like it. People are going to say "Look at how he plays against playoff teams!" yeah, look at how Kobe played against such teams last year that had good perimeter defenders like Denver and Miami. He shot around .300 percent too Too much was made about that, the star players in this league pad stats against bad teams and usually will get your team a win against such teams. Harden has done that so far, leading his team against these mediocre to bad teams and against Miami kept his team in the game when it looked to be a blowout All I am saying is, as much potential as Westbrook has, Harden has too and he's showing it...and it's only a year but hey, the dude is a year younger too. He's not better than WB yet because he just has to prove it throughout the season, but I wouldn't be surprised if by this time next year it's well established that Harden is the better player. Should be fun to watch.
Does Harden post up? Does Wade shoot 3s? Is Harden's game considered physical? The only similarities in their games are love pick and rolls and isos, which you can use to describe most guards in this league. Both are young, and have a lot of potential. WB is already an established all-nba player. Harden isn't. Harden now has his opportunity. Will he make the all-nba team over WB this year and future years? That's how we'll know for years to come in terms of how the league views one another.
Westbrook hasn't got much potential all he does is jump around and run fast good job westbrook! Thunder are just lucky they got a lot of talent.
I think it is pretty clear that they should have kept Harden. This trade was one of those rare instances that both team loses. It's a lose-lose. As good as ibaka is he just doesn't provide enough offense and nobody is scared of kmart at this point.
Trolling again? How did the Rockets lose this trade in any possible way? Lamb ever going to be as good as Harden is?
