KD was better last season than current westbrook
first of all let me say that westbrook has been playing great last few games but people are underrating durant here for some reason.
kd averaged 36-6-6 on 55% while shooting 44% from 3 pt range in January last season without wesbrook with W-L record of 13-4.
Westbrook this season not only has worse record without durant than durant had without westbrook last jan but also that he is shooting way worse than durant did.
westbrook is great but durant can carry teams to more victories by himself. if anything, durant had less talen around him last year than westbrook does right now.

Can't we just appreciate two great players instead of incessantly comparing them? Why you gotta be such a bitch, OP? Got damn.

Re: KD was better last season than current westbrook
Yeah i agree, KD had arguably a top 20 peak season last year, and while Westbrook is great he isn't quite that high. Also, Westbrook hasn't been nearly as good with Kd playing, while Kd more or less maintained his level of play when westbrook was playing last year. That's sort of what moves the needle for me, plus the fact that there's an enormous gap in efficiency.

Re: KD was better last season than current westbrook
But last year Durant didn't miss any game, Westbrook missed 15 something games and they are 8 seed in West. They would not lose so much games with Westbrook beign injured I'm sure.

Knicks all da way
Re: KD was better last season than current westbrook
Secure Westbrook fan here and I agree. However, Durant was not hurt a bunch of times last year like Westbrook this year so it's not a fair comparison.

And then KD choked in the playoffs, while Westbrook carried the team in the post-season. Durbeta almost cost his team the series against the Grizzlies. Lucky he had Silver and the refs intervene to make sure OKC made it out of the first and second round. Refs tried cheating the Spurs in game 6 too but SA overcame the 5 vs 8 advantage - Spurs were just too good last year.

Durant posted an amazing statline, but he is a servant when all is said and servants don't win championships as the first option... Westbrook has the stats, impact and the leader mentality.

Durant wore down last season and playoff defenses focused on him.

Re: KD was better last season than current westbrook
If you have a guy that averages 36-6-6 and then one that averages 30-10-10, along with a stacked bench, you should win the title, right?
Wonder what kind of excuse Thunder fans will come up with when KD chokes in the playoffs and Westbrook goes 6-22 every game.

Well i think part of why Westbrook was able to go off in the playoffs was because he only played 46 games in the reg season, that rest helped him.

Which may happen in reverse this season if OKC makes the playoffs. Granted, Westbrook may not be human, so he may not ever wear down. Not this year anyway.
