I still like the dude. We need to stop focusing on the negative of players and look at the good they bring to the table. As badly as folks talk about this dude you would think he wasn't an all-nba type of talent. He gets a lot of bad press, I enjoy watching him do his thing.
 
Russy is that dude!

Agreed what DC said above me. People just seem not to like him for some reason.
 
He competes. He might be OC, but he competes. Never backs down. I will take him and his mistakes on my team with open arms.
 
glad to see the kid become elite in the nba...

i remember seeing him in LA playing in this Say No the summer before he went to ucla...i told my teammates he was gonna be a problem when he got to westwood. and i was damn right.
 
Easily a refined version of Francis. All the flash along with more point guard capabilities and that mid range game.

IMO westy > d rose
That might be true post-injury. D. Rose may never have the same first-step explosion to the basket.

Russy is my favorite player in the league right now. Love his game, raw emotion, and competitiveness. More the critics hate him, the more I love dude as a basketball player. Paul George and Jeremy Lin close after that. Also Bayless and Terrence Williams.
 
I'm serious I just don't see what you can like about this guys game besides his dunks. 


I can understand if you are a Thunder fan and root for him by default.  But I don't understand how a person with a good understanding of the game could enjoy him as a player.


He has great potential due to his physical abilities and intensity but he uses those powers for evil not good.  He takes horrible shots, he drives to the hole out of control, and he turns the ball over trying to do too much.


I makes me sick to hear Derrick Rose get put in the same sentence also.  Westbrook will never be the player Derrick Rose is.  He just doesn't "get it".  Either he doesn't care and is selfish or he really thinks he's playing good basketball.  Selfish or Dumb.  Neither are attributes I want in a PG.  He doesn't bring the same mental stability every night.  Its either "oh I guess I'll play within the team" or "Man I going ham tonight IDGAF".  I'm tired of seeing dude drive into traffic and turn the ball over then yell at the refs.


Anyways lettuce discuss...


Derrick Rose doesn't play defense. He should change his name to Errick Rose. NO D.

I don't like Russell, but Russell has the ability to lock down guys and his 40 yard dash is hella quicker than Errick Rose. More so, Errick Rose plays stupid, he is the new T-Mac. Always getting hurt.

You and ACBoyz might be the slowest dudes in this forum.

Russy needs to go the D. Rose route and continue improving his deep outside J. Want to see that three-point shooting percentage go up a couple points this season. Also, a given is decision-making and vision (natural to the PG position, but unnatural to Russy).
 
LOL the title of this thread cracks me up every time

It can't be that hard to imagine people liking Russ... it's not like he's Carlos Boozer. "Is anybody really a Carlos Boozer fan?" that would be a more realistic question

Errick Rose is the primary offense on the Bulls. If you gave Russell the same scenary, you might think differently. Errick rose's opportunity came already. Watch him do 9,000 cross overs and lebron just ain't buldging.
 
HUGE westbrook fan here. kid is so young and has already improved his game each year. his athleticism is off the charts. plus, he is able to play defense all game long without getting tired. honestly, when he was at ucla i never expected him to be this good. i knew he could lock down guys but when his shot is on, he is unstoppable

i'd still take deron over any pg but that's another debate...

if russ had a reliable 3...... omg

but last year rose 31.2% from 3, 31 career

westbrook is 31.6 last year and 28.9 career

their stats all around are eerily similar, granted rose is a 1 man team and russ has kd

You can keep posting that silly nickname you've conjured up, but it's not going to stick.
 
It wouldn't be completely wrong to take Rondo over Deron. It really depends on what the team consists of. If it already has some decent shooters and scorers then I can kind of see why you would take Rondo. If your team needs a boost in scoring, then it's Deron for sure. Either way, I would take Deron over Rondo in any situation.

I like Rondo taking a more assertive and vocal leadership position. The occasional immaturity and attitude problems must disappear completely. If he can play anywhere near the level of G2 in the Miami series, watch out, rest of the NBA. I think Rajon takes the next step into top-10 or top-12 in the league.
