Nah dumbass he isn't. He has had a better career to date because Fultz wasn't playing.

Now that he is he will be the better player. Book It!

Unfortunately for clowns like you there will be no way to prove it.

Your scary ass will never do another bet with me where there is a definitive winner and loser.

Thats how gutless you are.

You keep bringing this up like it has any impact on how he is playing right now.

He has been great to start the year. No one can deny that.

I bring it up in order to provide perspective.

When he plays poorly there will be utter silence. As there always is around here.

He played great for 2 games and you have people ready to hand him an MVP award.


This was only 2 months ago.

He was pretty dang good the 2nd half of last season as well. So it is not like this 2 games is a real surprise.

They were blown out over 30 times last season. A lot of those were empty stats.

He was 7-20 tonight with 7 TOs

Is that a good game or bad game?

Plus I don't know that it matters when the people that picked White over Young were responsible for a team that couldn't win the World Championship.

25 pts and 9 assists. Guards are going to have turnoever games and nights were the shot does not fall.

Good game...not great...and def not bad.

"He is a loathsome, offensive brute

Its a bad game. Not terrible. Thats my point.

He gave them nothing in 2nd half and his defense will always stink.

He isn't a bust but he ain't elite either.

_________________

He was 1 assist shy of a double double....that is in no way a bad game.

"He is a loathsome, offensive brute

A lot of guys passed and he still couldn't make it.

Do you know how many times Westbrook put those #s up and performed badly?

He dominates the ball thus he will always put up stats of some sort.

35% from the field shitty defense with a ton of turnovers is a bad game.

_________________

So you are telling me he could average 25 and 9 and you think he would be a bad player?

Hell if Fultz did that you would be enshrining him in the HOF

There was too much chucking and not enough facilitating. A couple grade school turnovers too. HOWEVER, 25 pts is 25 points and he's also learning to draw fouls. His main partner, Collins, dropped 2 passes that would have led to bunnies.

Can you show me where i ever did it for Westbrook? That would be your evidence.

You did not answer my question.

Yes its possible for a person to avg that and be a bad player.

If he so shoots 35% and Avg 7 Tos with shitty Defense he is a bad player.

No one would ever say that person played well.

_________________

I would say he had a good game. He wasn't shitty on defense. He held his own on that end tonight.

The funny part about this is DeAaron Fox also bowed out from the team because he was losing minutes to Derek White. Hmm, who does Derek White play for? Hmm, who coaches that team? And who coaches Team USA?

Sounds like some of the young stars weren't too happy about the blatant favoritism being shown for the Spurs player.

And for the record, Trae bowed out because of an eye infection. Only person to insinuate that he bowed out because he didn't get promoted over White was Whinehorse or whatever his name is.


And like others have said, who gives a fuck anyway. Such an odd thing to cling onto as a way to knock Trae Young. Guy just won NBA player of the week for the 2nd time in his short career. Who is Derek White? If anything, Trae's play is a clear indictment on Popovich and USA basketball if any indictment was even necessary beyond the actual results White and the rest of team USA "achieved" in the World Cup.

And Len missed 2 open 3's in the final two minutes, both off Trae feeds. Trae played well, he just had a really shitty 3rd quarter. 4th quarter he played well just missed a couple floaters and one easy layup.

When you put up 25/9 and it's considered an ok game that's a good sign you're a superstar.

No i'm literally citing where that idiot claimed on numerous occasions that this kid was done because he is well "crazy".

Sounds rather stupid in retrospect don't you think?
