    No you cant at all. Lowry is also a better defender which Russ also sucks at. His talent level has always been high, he cant utilize it. Lowry might be better than him now. He was much better in the playoffs than him MUCH BETTER.

    With our two Rockets openly questioning the direction of the team I say we trade them both for young talent and new depth.

    A couple first round picks to compensate us for the superstars both teams will be receiving also wouldn't hurt:

    Rockets In: Kyle Lowry, Tobias Harris, Norman Powell, Ben Simmons, Matt Thomas, 2020 Toronto's 29th overall pick, 2020 Philadelphia's 21st overall pick

    Raptors In: Russell Westbrook, Eric Gordon, Ben McLemore

    76ers In: James Harden, Danuel House Jr., Chris Clemons

    Watch pre pandemic Westbrook with the Rockets and ask yourself again if Lowry is better player

    strange. this post is saying westbrick wasn't absolutely miserable from the start of the season to mid jan. That sample size was so much bigger but apparently that gets ignored and it was so bad that they add to change the lineup to try to get him to fit. February-March (4 games) when the season paused was his best stretch of games. and those 4 games in march the rockets were struggling.

    I just asked myself again........Yeah lowry is still a much better fit in so many areas and it isn't close

    The issue with this team is the ability to get easy buckets or points in the paint when harden is trapped. The other issue is interior defense and rebounding. This team needs to focus on this gaping front court issue and revamp its starting 5. We need a capable rim protector and high screen and roll guy at the 5. Noels or player like him would he good candidate. Ibaka can play the 4 as he stretches defenses shooting 3s but can also bang down low. These players can provide easier buckets, second chance points and break zones when harden is trapped. We might need to replace rivers as well if we don’t get him back. Im not a cap guru or fantasy GM like many people here but there’s gotta be some creative way to maneuver other than tax MLE. If this team wants to advance and keep james then it needs to improve this roster significantly with bigs.

    I don’t think 6 triple doubles since start of season to Dec 16 is terrible. Oh btw that tear he was on was DEC 16-MAR 10. Please consult his game log. Another amazing post by YOLO.

    Just another casual trying to push along the dumbass triple double narrative. And no he was not on a tear in that span no matter how many times the westbrick stans want to tell themselves on cf’s

    Of course you wouldn’t know cause you’re one of many that are that bad. It’s the same losers over and over that try to be relevant but lack the iq and just continue to post wrong information over and over and over.

    Coming from someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about ok. You being upset at being wrong all the time is pretty funny though. You should be mad at yourself for being that bad

    I mean look at your posts. Someone’s obviously a bit upset. I’m just reading and laughing at the amount of energy and time you’re spending on being wrong all the time. I couldn’t careless about taking it from you. You’re not doing anything and are a nobody around here. Your opinion sucks and holds no merit to me on this board
