I haven't seen him play either, but was watching youtube clips (SMH...lol):


Impressive. Anthony Morrow, Kent Bazemore and Ian Clark all went undrafted and have careers due to balling out on our summer league team. If he balls out the spot is likely his.

its not even halarious - its more like asinine that you & others cant see/understand the differences


KD is going to a team in the past 2 season

  1. won league leading 67 games and winning the NBA championship
  2. broke the all time record of 73 wins and lost game 7 of the NBA finals on home court in the last couple of minutes

bron went to a team in its past to seasons

  1. won 43 games and got bounce in the 1st round ((bosh team didnt make the playoffs))
  2. won 47 games and got bounced in the 1st round ((bosh team didnt make the playoffs))

:francis: breh

@Versa actually made perfect sense.

More assists doesn't mean he's more "willing of a passer". Considering Westbrook handles the ball more (8.4 minutes per game - time of possession) in an ISO-heavy system and Curry handles the ball less (5.5 minutes per game - time of possession) in a motion-based system with multiple ball-handlers - it only makes sense Westbrook has more opportunities to get assists. Nevermind the fact that the Warriors offense is predicated on getting the best shot possible through continual ball-movement; Curry isn't going to be accredited with all the open looks he creates for his teammates when you look at standard assists (he led the league in secondary assists last season and even those don't reflect how many FGs he generates for his team). Curry is a more willing passer for the simple fact he is elite on and off the ball. He doesn't need to control the offense by having the ball in his hands - he can give it up and weave his way through screens in the halfcourt distracting multiple defenders and dragging them away from Durant - leaving him more space to operate with and/or a shooting option if Curry gets open.

you make a solid points with your advance stats
with that said... this perception that westbrook is this a non passer/ball hog while curry is this willing passer/ball sharer is simply FALSE

before kerr became GSW head coach with his (ball movement offense) they ran the typical NBA offense; similar to what OKC runs
and the stats clearly state in curry 1st five seasons compared to westbrook (russlle still average slighty more assist)
with proves my point

if KD didnt like the offense OKC was running... him as the face of the franchise should have gone to management esp. sam presti and demanded a HC that would run ball movement offense aftervthey fired scott brooks

im kinda seeing the light on this - too many people wanna make inexcusable excuses for Durant

Westbrook dominates the ball more than Curry, that is an undisputed fact. GS shares the ball with each other more than any other team in the league, equal opportunity scoring for players 1-5 and as a result of that they usually don't have problems getting the shots they want.

KD was in favor of getting a HC that would have them sharing the ball more and he thought he got that coach in Donovan. Instead, they had a coach who didn't want to step on anyone's toes, told Westbrook and KD to be the best Westbrook and KD they could be and play their game. So OKC ended up having the very same iso-heavy offense where Westbrook and KD take turns beating their man 1 on 1. KD knew that they would be doing the exact same thing they have been doing the past 10 years for the next 10 years, and said fukk that I'm out of here.

Just to give you perspective on how Westbrook has ruined OKC's offense, Scott Brooks wasn't always known as a shytty coach, when they went to the finals KD was damn near Reggie Miller. OKC set all types of off-ball screens for him to free him up and he never really held the ball, and that opened the offense up for everyone including Ibaka, Westbrook and Harden. Harden was THE decision maker down the stretch for OKC, the ball was not in Westbrook's hands. I love Westbrook and I think we will never see another player like him, but him and KD needed to go their separate ways in order for them to grow as players.

KD had every reason in the world to leave OKC from just a basketball standpoint, never mind the legacy standpoint. You can hate on him leaving to go to the Warriors, but don't hate on him for not staying in OKC. Curry is a better fit for his play style than Westbrook.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Help me out breh. How can I shake this dude off my nuts. He's just be stalking me from thread to thread:sadcam:


You can't, even if you don't read his posts he'll type out long ass responses and claims he doesn't care what you think but have a bullet point response for everything you say.

There was a 6 page thread (50 replies per page) where I posted on the first page, he had a gang of posts in that thread after my post, then he went back to page 1 and quoted me just to talk to me :mjlol:

Breh you know how dumb it is to bring up the heats record before they got bosh and Bron to prove your point?

Think about it this way. If LeBron, KD, and Lamarcus Aldridge were FAs and decided to sign with the lakers would it not be super team bullshyt?

By your logic it's not because the lakers were a 19 win team :troll:. You're just ignoring the insane influx of talent they gained.

Obviously KD and LeBrons moves had differences but my point is overall they both led to ungodly talented teams. That's my whole point. It's just that KDs team was already partial formed through drafting and development together and LeBrons was built like voltron in FA.

They were both bullshyt. Stop :cape: for your boy LeBron. He even knew it was bullshyt or else he wouldn't have made the "not 1, not 2....." speech:beli:.

Even the same old heads who are crucifying KD now are the same ones who were killing LeBron.

Reggie Miller said after LeBrons decision "1 ring in Cleveland is worth 3 in Miami."

Chuck was saying "I would never have joined up with Michael"

But ok there's no similarities at all:duck:.
You Bron Stans are just trying to justify hypocrisy:dead:.
You can't call KD a bytch for his move without looking at what LeBron did and saying the same thing. Doesn't matter the team they came from. The teams they both formed stacked the deck completely in there favor.


Y'all better just let KD cook or admit that your "King" is a bytch too with fake rings if that's the route you want to take :ld:

a six year old - can see the fukking difference


your analogy is horrible - putting 3 stars on some random bad team --->>> is not comparable to my post

as great as wade was he was on that MIA heat team that won 43 & 47 both 1st rd exist
and again bosh couldn't even bring his team to the playoffs


you need to look at the said team without the mega star going there
so elimanate bron & KD from this & foucs strickly on the teams


no clear minded bball fan will say MIA adding bosh would have produce a championship caliber team at best a wade/bosh heat team would make the ECF

while we all know what GSW team had done these 2 prior yrs
