To sit or to play Westbrick

This is the dude we traded cp for. Aka the guy people nag on nonstop that was one possession away from beating us vs this guy who has heart and passion but plays like an idiot.

harden, brick, etc all need to be dumped for picks this off season. Enough of this crap

 

He is triple triple MVP, he can grab rebounds and assist

 

That's fair and very possible. But if Westbrook isn't the good Westbrook, the team is not winning a title regardless, so we just have to hope that's not the case. That said, Westbrook has dominated many playoff games with OKC in past years before crashing in the 4th quarters due to a combo of stupidity and exhaustion. The idea with having both Harden and Westbrook is that neither gets exhausted.

 

You sure you want Ego to lead the 2nd unit?.. I like that he's playing free and as a 2nd or 3rd option...

 

This is a dumb question. Of course you have to play him.

You don't give up on a $40MM player that quickly. He has his flaws but most of them are mental. You have to try to get his head straight and fix his issues on both ends of the court. It was an atrocious game as I have ever seen from an MVP type player.

If Westbrook can be half the man we expect the Rockets will win this series.

 

The problem is when he has a quadruple double with turnovers.

 

Who exactly do you like? Correct me if I'm wrong but from reading your posts it seems like you are out on Harden, Westbrook, MDA, Morey, and Tilman.

 

Logically, we should limit him to 25 minutes. There’s no way he’ll catch a rhythm playing every other day trying to get into game shape and probably no practices.

That way we limit his impact on the score, give him real time to recover, and at least by game 6 or 7 and for the next series we’ll have him back.

I cannot see this working for him with us playing him big minutes every other night. Don’t care if bench or starter, just limit him heavily, let him give us his best 25 minutes, that’s definitely something worth having.

 

Honestly, people need to relax with the overreaction. A lot of folks here were killing Eric Gordon not long ago, saying he should stop shooting 3's, that he should be benched, etc. After a few really good games, now he can do no wrong. Russ had a bad game, and our team and he need to adjust. He is a unique talent and few players in the league possess what he does. The idea that he would not play is absurd.

 

He is barely playable in the regular season, completely unplayable in the playoffs.

Hopefully he retires in the offseason and we can salvage the cap space, otherwise we are done.

 

His foul ball shooting is poor, he should learn from Harden how to shoot those standing foul ball.

 

Play. He averages 30 points. Seriously. Play. And he's one of our best rebounders. He's the key.

 

wheres this idea coming from? harden can win you a title alone if we sit westbrook... its a longshot but he can do it...

 

House shouldn’t be in the rotation. He’s a scrub. I don’t understand why people think he’s good? Because he’s athletic and can dunk? He’s a poor mans Corey Brewer. If House plays 40 minutes the Rockets will lose, if House plays closer to 0 minutes the Rockets will win.

 

Personally, I was hoping the quad would take a little longer to heal. . . .

 

It was all sooooo painfully obvious before the season even started.

4th straight year of horrendous playoff numbers that are worse than the year before.

And now we’re here. The ugliest advanced numbers you will ever see from a max “MVP” level player. Negatives across the board.

 

Harden is not getting dumped or traded lol . There is 0 chance of that.

 

I just wanna know why he keeps sucking at free throws. He either makes one of two or bricks both. And ones turn into and nones.

 

Can’t shoot from the free throw line, three point line and worst of all a bad decision maker with the lowest b ball iq I have ever seen for a guard

 

he's a better than average shooter and defender. he's also the 5th best player on the team right now, until rus stops being a net negative.
