That's a pretty ridiculous statement, but they could use a real point guard. Or a real offense.

The reality of those stats are that they are cherrypicking stats, and that non-baseball stats (that are based on box scores, I have no idea how awesome motion camera stats might someday get) are unlikely to ever be the end-all-be-all because the games are so fluid and have so many moving parts.

Bestbrook and Worstbrook always are going to happen, because thats what people want to think. Lebron still does the stupid Lebron things that he used to do and everybody used to complain about, but he makes more of his "bad" shots from outside now, has better teammates, and most importantly, hasn't lost in the playoffs.

Okc is still the third best team in the Nba but they need to upgrade.

And got to give some credit to Leonard, his D was amazing on KD.

Okc needs more shooting depth for mine like those barrier/miller types. Spurs role guys all shoot well and reliably from range.

Eh. Lebron has improved a lot in terms of shot selection since his Cleveland days. He used to be a chucker from 3 and now he shoots over 1 less per game, and usually only when open.

So Lebron got more accurate while simultaneously taking better 3s. Westbrook got less accurate and took more 3s this year. That said, it's his 5th year in the league and that's not necessarily set in stone. After all, Lebron was still chucking in his 5th year (in part because he had to) and didn't make those improvements until he went to Miami.

You conveniently left out their record with him in the line-up BEFORE he went out. Something like 23-5.

Lebron didn't have a ring at 25 and Parker, Ginobli, and Duncan are way older. That image is dumb.

When he came back the team broke even when he was on the bench and was +12 per 100 possessions with him on.

If you really think the Thunder would be better without Westbrook I invite you to look back on the Grizz Thunder series. I'm sure KD looks forward to being quadruple teamed on every possession with Jackson on the floor.

most meme images are dumb.

Yeah, but lebron had no where close to the same team as Durant. Not sure if I'd blow up this OKC team yet, but I find it hard to imagine they'll get better than where they're at now.

KD and RB don't really compliment each other that well, but if they move one or the other, defenses could really lock down on whoever is left. It's a tough call. Coaching changes don't usually do a whole lot for a good team, but OKC looks pretty lost on offense a lot of the time. Also, every time that TNT had a camera in the OKC locker room, Brooks didn't really seem like an NBA coach. But you can never really tell what these guys are like behind closed doors I suppose. I imagine that GMs make most of their decisions based on debriefing interviews.

"In the 29 minutes of the second half and overtime, Brooks played the 39-year-old Fisher, who likely played the final game of his career, 27 minutes."

Imagine if OKC had decent coaching...

I'm a pretty well documented Westbrook hater, but c'mon, anyone with a pair of functioning eyes can see they're a better team with him playing. You don't even needs stats.
