If anyone ever mentions Lillard

... in the same sentence as Westbrook again, I'll smack you in the face. And I like Lillard. Westbrook is the third best player in the league.

Healthy MVP Rose or Paul at his best are the only ones allowed in the discussion for best PG in the league.

1 game in, calm down.
That being said westbrook was dominant last night.

i dont know about you, but if my pg is shooting 42% from the field, with a weak turnover assist ratio, im not labeling him a top 3 player in this league, much less a top 5 player.

westbrook will forever be riding durant's coattails, while chris paul and rose remain superior pg's.

He has been doing this for years. Absolutely destroys opposing star point guards in head to head duel across the board.

I don't think anyone did in the first place?

while chris paul and rose remain superior pg's.

they are small guards that can't dominate against the best teams in the playoffs.

let me know when they drop 43 in the Finals on a prime Lebron and Wade, or gets 40 points and 10 assists against the SPURS in the playoffs.

as a comparison of how great this is, lebron can only dream of doing this against anyone let alone the Spurs... the Heat could have used this type of performance in the Finals...

but alas, Westie and MJ are the only players EVER to have 40 point, 10 assists playoff game.... trying to compare rose and cp3 is a joke - they are a DIMENSION below Westie.

Wrong, Rondo had a 44/10/8 game on 67% shooting.

Wrong, Rondo had a 44/10/8 game on 67% shooting.

corrected - THREE guys in history with 40 points, 10 assists in a playoff game.

but if that's the only thing you disagree with in my post, then

rondo is weird like that - he finds a way to get on GOAT lists - like, he had a 30-15-10 triple-double with 10 FG’s and 10 FT’s in a non-overtime game - only Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon and Larry Bird have done that (from nba.com).

Rondo on goat short lists...

So many people are overrating Westbrook.

So many people are overrating Westbrook.

Maybe but he's still probably the 3rd best player in the league...IMO you can switch between him and Chris Paul for 3rd and 4th.....

This. Westbrook is one of my favorite players to watch. But if they were playing for me, i pick Paul 8 times out of 10

Exactly. Top 5 player at worst. I got him at 3. How overrated can he be/
