Russ is 1-4 in the playoffs without Durant. He was just riding coattails. That's why it's funny when people say he's better than guys like Durant, Kawhi, LeBron.

Westbrook is the only one since the Big O to average a triple double....take Anfernee

He's more impressive when compared to Penny. He'll have time to build a better playoff resume. The only thing softer than Penny's mental makeup was his knee tissue.

Your NBA thoughts are hit n miss, I can't say if your being sarcastic or sincere. If Russ went to a 73 win golden state team that win a ring a year prior, they win a ring too and breeze through the playoffs. The only difference is if Durant was the Lone Wolf in OK City, the Thunder don't even make the playoffs this year.

_________________

If Russ and KD switched teams this past year the Thunder lose in the second round probably. Golden State still wins the title but almost certainly doesn't go 16-1 in the postseason.

I think Durant is clearly and significantly better as a player than Westbrook is.

We'll never know, Russ and KD are both better than Penny.

Would you agree that Russ is never going to win anything playing the way he did this past season?

You people need to study the games and read some stats.

_________________

No, I'll agree Russ will never win a run in okc, that's why KD split.

You think having a player with a 41% usage rate and a guy who shoots 18 shots in one quarter in a playoff game is going to have team success? I strongly disagree.

He was surrounded by stiffs, he busted his Ass to get those scrubs respectable.

No, he had decent enough players around him. Adams and Oladipo are above average starters. His supporting cast wasn't significantly worse than Harden's or Kawhi's. His team's record was though.

I was a huge Magic guy in the 90's. I'd love to say Penny but you just can't. His first three years were great, and who knows what he could have been without injuries.

But Westbrook has eclipsed the best we saw of Penny.

The starting lineup of the Thunder was worse than that of the Bulls if you subtract Westbrook from theirs and Butler from the Bulls.


Westbrook also carried them the year Durant was injured too. Just missed the playoffs but I think they won 48 games that year.
