He's below average at the rim? :wow:

Shooting i'm not surprised at, but everytime I watch him play i feel like he's always finishing those acrobatic layups.
Yes you would. :lol:


Dude is the most high usage player in the L, he never met any shot he didn't like.


His below average finishing at the rim doesn't hurt because he opens up easy offensive rebounds most of the time while bringing 2 defenders with him.

See :lol: maybe you could tell that from watching him, but there's people who wouldn't, and that's my point. I'm not even going into whether or not his driving is a good thing, we all know the benefits of that, that wasn't really the focus of my post.
 
Gotta love assumptions

Doesn't even have the track record to warrant the assumption but that's the life of some in America

If she wasn't a rookie I could ignore th reach but w/e

Sucks Chris just isn't a fiery competitor...he's just a complainer


Think my post is Eurocentric enough

This is stupider than deflate gate

If you want to knock CP3 for criticizing a ref...fine. But to say he did it BECAUSE it was a female is ******* ridiculous. You replace "her" with him and we aren't talking about this. The word "she" is what has everyone up in arms right now and that's ******* bizarre to me.

To me...what this says is that you can't criticize referees...especially if they are female.
 
I'll give you the first 2 points, but I think everyone knows he's below average from 3.

True. And I'm not denying that. But he takes quite a bit of 3's per game, and considering his conversion rate out there, it's kind of perplexing.

Probably because it's more of a shot selection thing vs. an ability thing.

Lots of guys actually can't finish at the rim. Westbrook's numbers are because he goes to the rim so often and takes contested shots off balance. Same with everything else about him :lol:

True, but Westbrook is considered by most as a top 5 player in this league. (Not saying I agree or disagree) However he's literally below average at the rim, from midrange, and from 3. Watching him, I never realized just how many bad 3's he takes, and really how bad he was at the rim. I also thought he was better than that at the midrange area. I guess what I'm saying is the criticisms that I've seen thrown towards Westbrook are a little more justified than I thought before.
Westbrook's game the other night against the Pelicans was the most physically imposing game I've seen from a guard that I can ever recall.

It was definitely impressive for sure.

However I fail to see how that correlates to that post :lol:
 
Russell Westbrook is the ultimate eye test vs numbers test guy.

From watching him play, you wouldn't be able to tell that he's a below average finisher at the rim, below average from 10 to 15 feet, and a below average 3 point shooter.

Interesting.

He's below average at the rim? :wow:

Shooting i'm not surprised at, but everytime I watch him play i feel like he's always finishing those acrobatic layups.

agreed


i was just watching highlights the other night. the way dude gets to the rim and what he does to finish... :x DISGUSTING

He had a game like that against the Clippers last season, although I don't think he scored a ton in that one. But in crunch time he just took over physically on the boards and defensively. That's when I thought the Clippers just don't have an answer for him.

Exactly why I posted that. One would think he would at least be average there, given his physical gifts.

Yeah Marcus, you don't make any assumptions about people potentially being discriminatory or offensive against another group of people, right? They need to come right out and say how they feel for you to say anything, right?

I go by actions or words

Chris past actions doesn't warrant one of the biggest reaches I've ever seen. If she wasn't a rookie then maybe I could agree

But every ***** lottery number is called...surprised it would be hin tho
