I think the thunder are better without melo/pg

Westbrooks play style is the kind where he needs to have the ball 95% of the time. With bum as melo and pg taking the ball out of his hands it makes them even more dysfunctional. Surround westbrook with 4 above average roll players and i think they are alot better. give him a sniper, couple that can play defense, and steven adams in the paint.



Pg no, Melo yes. The thunder with Westbrook, Roberson, pg, Adams, and grant/Patterson was our best lineup in terms of both offensive and defensive efficiency. With Roberson out and having to fill that void with Felton, Ferguson, and Brewer, there just isn’t a proper way to get 5 guys who mesh onto the court. Brewer has been great and should start over Carmelo, but then the lineup is too small. Billy Donovan has to figure something out with these lineups.

westbrook is 16 rebounds away from averaging a triple double for back to back seasons.

He might go full Westbrook mode in the last game against Memphis and actually hit the mark. But even if he doesn’t, getting that close is an amazing accomplishment that has really been overlooked because of OKC’s inconsistent play this season.

Russ is just insane

No one is overlooking Westbrick.
He's an amazing talent, who is one of the most talented players to ever play the game.
To say he's getting overlooked is asinine.

But for his amazing talent, and all the numbers he puts up.
Does Westbrick averaging a triple double help the ZombieSonics get W's?
Or if he'd take a step back, and let some others do a bit of the lifting... Would that make the ZombieSonics better?

i mean last year him averaging a triple double was a top NBA story that paved the way to him getting the MVP

I’m not saying he is overlooked, but the dominate story for OKC this year has been their inconsistent play, not his unbelievable individual stats.

Maybe it does hurt the thunder that he tries to do too much every game, but i’m just going to enjoy it for what it is 👌🏻
