Russell Westbrook >>>>> Derrick Rose

[Batz]

Prisoners of The Moment.

Yeah honestly this is getting stupid.

[Pointguard]

Westbrook doesn't run his team, nor is he the leader. Westbrook is the number two option on his team and sometimes the third. Rose is not on a team where two players were better than him in two successive series or not be the best player offensively three successive series and more than likely a complete four series playoff run. If Miami was able to cue in on Westbrook like they did Rose in '11 the number of mental mistakes, turnovers and they would have never won a game. But with that said Westbrook is one of a few great players at this time. He also helps the argument that hybrid guard seems to have more impact than the pure guard at this time.

[madmax]

Of course he is.
Just as good penetrator, much better shooter and scorer as well. Debrick Rose has nothing on him really

[General]

29/7/7 on 48% in his first NBA Finals against the best defensive team in the association. He's been playing better then KD in my opinion in these finals, yet GOATBROOK gets ALL the blame.

If only he was a bit taller, he'd be better than Durant.

Westbrook is the 1st option of the team just as much as KD is. Russ is the aggressor of the Thunder. KD just isn't agressive enough at times and it has to do with his inability to get open at times. Never bought into Russ not passing it enough to KD.

RW is a probably the best rebounding guard in the league, an overall better defender, better pull-up jumper especially mid-range, pound for pound arguably the most athletic player in the league, very durable.

Rose is just as good of a slasher and a tad better at finishing at the rim when in traffic, better facilitator and playmaker, better long range shooter.

Neither is extremely clutch but Rose probably gets the edge here. Nether is really a strong leader as well. Consistency is a big flaw in both their games as well.

Overall I'd go with Rose just because they both play PG and Rose is a bit better suited at the position but RW is probably a better overall player. When I watch RW, I see a more athletic Monta Ellis, not a PG prototype and too small for a SG.

RW is playing some good ball right now though, yesterday was damn exciting minus that C-Webb type blunder at the end.

Yeah honestly this is getting stupid.

yea just look at the amount of greater than symbols. Thats not even good math logic.

Disagree with the bold

[Ken_Masters]

Rose is better. Rose never misses layups. He is LeBron-lite.

[KingBeasley08]

Yep. Also far more durable.

Yup.

[tastystaci]

Would D-Rose commit a foul with less than 5 seconds on the opposing shot clock, over 13 on the game clock down only 3??

No, he would've clanked 2 clutch free throws in the end though.

That was such a bad mistake. His performance practically went down the drain with that play. What a shame.
