butta54 371 Posted July 22, 2015 You don't have to be born in a country to play for their team.... In a "what if" scenario you can put whoever you want on your roster...why is that a problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cherry 1,302 Posted July 22, 2015 Y'all motherfuckers leaving Westbrook out like chumps. Too inefficient IMO when you put him side-by-side with CP3 or Curry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 22, 2015 It's the Olympics. Who in the world (literally) can play defense against Westbrook? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) It's the Olympics. Who in the world (literally) can play defense against Westbrook? Reason I left him off my team because I wanted more traditional distributors at PG. Nobody can defend Kevin Durant in the Olympics or the NBA. I have Curry because he's the best shooter in the world. Westbrook is a top 5 player in the NBA, but I just think the PG's I picked fit my team more. Maybe I'm wrong but I just think not having guys like Harden, Westbrook and Melo is better for chemistry on a team. Edited July 22, 2015 by seanbrock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted July 22, 2015 You are not even watching the Thunder if you think Westbrook's game hasn't completely evolved from 4 years ago. Westbrook was destroying with the PnR once Kanter showed up. The team was missing Ibaka and Durant and yet he was still averaging like 12 assists. EDIT: Some things that were being thrown around in the Shout Box: Sarge+ : Westbrook averaged 12 assists per game even when Durant and Ibaka were out? Zack_of_Steel+ : Yeah, Sarge, Ibaka went down on 3/11, check out Westbrook's gamelog: http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/westbru01/gamelog/2015/ Zack_of_Steel+ : Also, Kanter's first game in OKC was 2/21, which coincided with a large increase in Westbrook's assists. Zack_of_Steel+ : Having a post presence is a godsend for a PG, something OKC has never had until now. Compare that to Paul, who has had Griffen and DeAndre.

seanbrock 1,684 Posted July 22, 2015 Not saying Westbrook can't pass. He's an awesome distributor, but I'd rather have a PG who's not going to take a ton of shots and who will shoot a high percentage when they do. On a team with that much talent I'd just rather have the shots come other guys. I picked a couple guys just for strictly defense because I had enough scorers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

butta54 371 Posted July 23, 2015 Def some good players I left off, but I'm all about defense. Harden isn't a bad choice but his defense next to Klay's isn't close. Plus with all this talent you don't really NEED another scorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
