Steph's 3 point shooting VS Russ triple doubles - Which impresses you more?

[Cladyclad]

PG13 averaged 25-6-3 and 29-9-4 in those two OKC playoff runs, both times on better shooting #'s than Westbrook, and you call that "playing like complete shyt".

But then you trying to gas up post-injury IT and D-Rose who struggled through a handful of midseason games while limping.

I swear some of you just post here to mock Bron haters and make them look bad.

Then you're a fukking liar. Cause that 8-21 game you just called "awful", PG13 hit 4 threes and 12-14 from the line to put up 32-10-6.


8-21 shooting with 4 threes to score 32 points is not an "awful" game. It's more efficient than Westbrook's entire career.

Meanwhile Russ went 5-21 for just 14 points in the same game and you trying to claim PG13 was the problem.



Paul George scored 23 in the 2nd half of that game, Westbrook didn't make a SINGLE shot in the entire 2nd half.

The alternative to not grabbing the uncontested rebound is the opponent maintains possession and offers another opportunity at points at your expense. I have no clue where this idea that grabbing a rebound is unimportant comes from, and thats what I was saluting...

Now, its clear that a number of Westbrook's rebounds don't come within within the organic flow of a game, but thats a different conversation that I wasn't addressing. And no, I wouldn't regard that as winning basketball play...

It's not that it's unimportant, it's just not as important/impactful as other actions in the game, but because it's a stat in the box score, folks overvalue it. I've been saying this shyt for years now: the basketball public doesn't accurately value the actions in the game; they let the box score dictate how they view the game.

Let me give you a scernario:

x-defender defends the primary ball-handler for half the shot-clock, disrupts multiple pick and rolls along the way, and eventually forces the ball-handler into a tough, contested shot which misses
y-defender grabs the uncontested rebound, to which there's only x-defender and z-defender in the vicinity (only his teammates), and any three of them could've grabbed the ball.

Now, needless to say, they need to secure the ball once the rebound is there for the taking, but how much impact does that action have, in relation to everything that went on during the defensive possession? It ranks well down the list of importance, doesn't it? Communicating on what side the pick is coming, positioning to stave off easy cuts, sticking to your defensive assignment, switching/rotating correctly etc. These are all actions during a defensive possession which are more important/impactful, are they not? But because they're not in the box score, folks don't value them as such.

A possession is 24 seconds. Think about all that happens on the defensive side to stop the opposition from scoring in those 24 seconds. Yet because the rebound is in the box score, it's valued above everything else, defensively, when most of the time it's a simple action of grabbing the ball when nobody is around.

It's not that important, is it?

When did shooting 30% in more than half your playoff games be considered good lol

something wrong with u

8/21 isn't 30% breh, work on your fukking math.

You're literally trying to say PG13 was the issue in a game he put up 32-10-6 on 8-21 shooting (4-10 from three), while ignoring Russ's 5-21 for 14 points performance in the SAME fukkING GAME.

You're shameless.

In 6 six games out 11. PG avg fg made and attempted is 6/20

So for u to mention Russ had PG is laughable. Give Russ KD is WCF or better

 

[Professor Emeritus]

@Cladyclad ripping on PG13's shooting #'s in a few games when Russ was worse in almost every game.


Remember when PG13 put up 23 points on 7-16, but Russ shot 5-17 for 14 points with 8 turnovers and the Thunder lost?

Remember when PG13 put up 32 points on 9-21, but Russ shot 7-18 for 23 with 5 turnovers and the Thunder lost?

Remember when PG13 put up 27 on 11-20, but Russ shot 5-20 for 14 with 6 turnovers and the Thunder lost?

Remember when PG13 put up 32 on 8-21, but Russ shot 5-21 for 14 with 3 turnovers and the Thunder lost?


Worst of all....

In Game 5 against the Blazers with the series on the line, PG13 went 14-20 for 36 points, but ballhog Russ had to shoot 11-31 with 5 turnovers and shoot them out of the fukking series with a 3-point loss. With 6 minutes left PG13 had 31 points on 14-18 shooting and had staked them to an 11-point lead....but Russ had to go 1-5 with 2 turnovers in the final stretch to hand the game to the Blazers.

4 of the Blazers' buckets down the stretch were on Westbrook. He was fukking food no matter who he was guarding.



PG13 shouldn't even be compared to Westbrook, cause PG13 is NOT in anybody's running to be an all-time GOAT. Russ is supposed to be the star and PG13 the sidekick, right? But in 5 of their 8 playoff losses together, WESTBROOK was clearly the issue, not PG13. He shot worse, he turned the ball over more, he played worse defense, and he simply made stupid decisions. Stop giving him a pass, he had the pieces but his postseason resume is ass.

Who the fukk takes a players' 6 worst games and makes an average of them?

Russ averaged 29% shooting with 6 turnovers in 6 of those same 11 games, so if PG13 was awful then what is Russ?

He played in 11 games and had 6 games like that. it shows he plays more bad than good. And u the one saying Russ had PG and should more than 2 games. How the hell can u win 2 playoff games in a series when u the 2nd best player plays more bad than good?

I just showed you that in FIVE of the Thunder losses, PG13 played good or even great but Westbrook fukked it up. So they won 3 games together and PG13 played good enough to win in 5 others. Give it up. You're literally trying to gas Westbrook up by blaming his sidekick when his sidekick had better games than he did.

And you are STILL calling PG13's 32-10-6 game a "bad" game, pull your head out of your ass. 32 points on 21 shots is a fine game. 8-21 shooting when you hit 4 threes is far better shooting efficiency than EVERY fukkING POSTSEASON OF WESTBROOK'S CAREER SINCE 2011.


You tried to call 48% shooting efficiency "awful" when Westbrook hasn't even reached 46% in 10 years.

PG was supposed to be buckets and defense and he didn’t do either consistently. I doubt u even watched any of the games lol

 

[LV Koopa]

I hope this isn’t supposed to be applicable to Curry and not applicable to Russell

Steph is a better defender than Westbrook

Breh, you took a great 32-10-6 game by PG13 on solid efficiency "awful" solely because you were running your finger down the fg columns and didn't even notice that half of PG13's makes were threes. He shot better in that game than Westbrook has shot in ANY postseason in the last 10 years, and you called it "awful." And don't even start talking about defense now, PG13's worst defensive game was still better than Westbrook's best.


I already showed you that PG13 did just fine in 5 of the 8 Thunder losses. In 5 out of those 8 games, he put up fantastic #'s for a sidekick. But Westbrook was worse in all 5 of those games. So your attempt to turn this into a stat nerd war backfired horribly.

If Westbrook is one of the GOATs and PG13 is an inadequate sidekick, then why is the GOAT playing worse than an inadequate sidekick?

U said it like having PG meant something. We all saw what he did the next playoffs In LA. Russ had no chance those three years without KD. PG ain’t like that

Edit:
watching a actual game right now and Russ is going off once again with another triple double. Leading the team in every stat except scoring
