Only boxscore watchers are surprised that Liliard>Westbrook

What happened to Westbitch with his stacked roster against rookie Donovan Mitchell?

Do you really compare with losing 2-4 against 5th seed team and losing 0-4 againts 6th seed team.

What about 10 rounds vs 2 rounds?

Much smarter and more skilled. Its the ben simmons effect...Russell is better, but he's in the same mold.

I'm talking about whether regular season statistics have any value in player evaluation, the fact that Westbrook had much better regular season stats and it does not predict playoff performances at all is just proof for my argument.


imagine being this obtuse

Bulshit nice try though. You said nothing about regular-season vs postseason in your initial post. Agenda fail. Come back better.

It’s definitely a microcosm in essence of the LeBron vs Kobe debate but in smaller sized guys at the PG position.

It’s so funny seeing Bruce Blitz who championed the former and hated the latter ... has now basically flipped his entire stance.

This year spoke volumes in terms of lebrons ability to fit, and west competition. Basically a vindication of all past criticism.

There's absolutely no way hes better than kobe at basketball.

The failures of Westbrook, Ben Simmons, and to a lesser extent James Harden in the playoffs is a direct rebuke to Lebron's basketball style and legacy as well

Hardens a cheapskate but he's still an elite shooter. Its the combination of being a ball dominate and not being able to shoot that is really crippling to teamwork and growth. John wall is another example. Beal is way way better.

LeBron is consensus top 3. Kobe is consensus top 15. I mean...

the convincing oneself is strong in this one

[LostCause]

Makes thread about how stats are not important


Player with better stats is winning the series


Cant make this up

Dame: 30-5-4-3 on 45%, 47% 3p (21.8 GmSc)
Westbrook: 19-10-10-.5 on 35%, 10% 3p (13.2 GmSc)

Are you trying to prove that stats matter because that's what you did
Dame is shooting 10% better with 11 ppg more and nearly double the GmSc

But rebounds and assists doe

2005 and 2013 spoke volumes about Kobe’s ability to fit and west competition.

What Russ brings outside of scoring is relatively consistent, you can expect that impact game in, game out. His shootings another story. Dame does the scoring pretty well but honestly he's hit and miss himself, just to a lesser degree than Russ and doesn't bring those other things to the table. It's a matter of preference.

Sheep seeing the light

More like Stan getting insecure. It's plain to see.

What about 08-12 Kobe with a fringe all-star and some depth around him? Top 3 seed every year..

2013 Kobe won 45 games with one all-star teammate and an injured roster, and that's 17th season Kobe with 0 depth and d-leaguers starting around him. Only time he missed Playoffs in the West was when he got injured and/or was way past his prime on a rebuilding team that kept him around for ratings.

16th season Lebron elevated a 35-win team to 37 wins. Congratulations.

Who the hell had better rosters than the Lakers in those years before the Heat formed? Classic Kobetard revisionism.

Lol at 2013 being a positive for Kobe. You
