Wade is the perfect example of what's wrong with Westbrook. Lebron got there and Wade said it was difficult for him to step back, but he did it this year so that Lebron, their best player, could do what he doing now. That wasn't the case last year when they were both trying to be the #1 guy. That's exactly what's going on now with OKC.
Durant is just more efficient and more clutch that Westbrook. If they don't trade him, he's going to have to step back and be the support player the PG is supposed to be and let Durant shine. That's how they can get over this hump. Westbrook has said he wont change the way he plays so it's very possible they will trade him, and if they can get a good PG I think they'll be a stronger team without Westbrook.

Does anyone think Westbrook would say Durant is the best player on their team? I dont think he would. Wade said that about Lebron this year, stepped back, took his shots when he had them and got a shit load of assists getting it to Lebron, and they're about to get a ring out of it. Very smart move by Wade and it paid off.
Westbrook is just a roadblock for Durant right now. I doubt Durant would admit that but everyone knows it. If Westbrook would involve others more, Durant cant put up that 40, Westbroom get 15-20, Harden would get more shots and get into a groove and this would be a very different series.
I think OKC is actually a stronger team due to their deep bench and if they function properly could have won this series, but Westbrook is fucking it up in every game.

Well boys. Here we go

Gotta give the Knicks maybe 2 more years to get sorted out. They need time to fix their bench play and get Lin some proper experience. At the moment, they are at their turning point. Hopefully, it can only get better from here.

10 points half time.
It's still possible.

The Knicks are on the right track. They need to sign Woodson because I dont want them to bring Jackson in here. ive the guy a full season without the compressed schedule thats just killing so many players, and get Lin more experience.
Fields is a liability. JR Smith taking too many 3s and not making them nearly as much as Novak does. Novak need to be signed. Melo isnt going anywhere, neither is Chandler, so Stat is a serious question mark right now. The numbers show Melo is much more effective when Stat is not playing.

Almost 20 now. James is unstoppable and Westbrook doing what he always does.

best players stay in one team and carry it to the heights...LBJ just fucked off to Miami after some time...he lost 2 finals already(probably will lose the 3rd as well), but he will get his ring eventually, but no one will respect it...he is mvp, he is the best player in the world right now, but he just ruined his legacy with that miami deal...
Bosh also...he was pissed and just escaped to miami...
Carmelo did it as well, he was playing in the western conference finalist, and he wasn't happy there...he just fucked off to NY to get a better sponsorship deal, bigger spotlight, and can't even get in the playoffs, damn I think that Nuggets are the better team without him...
this new generation doesn't give a shit about rivalries, about loyalty to a team that drafted them, about sport tendencies...they just want fame, sponsorships, and in LBJ's case - an easier way to get the goal...and people see that, and that is why he is so disrespected...he was clutch in cleveland many times, and people loved him, but after that move...nobody gives a shit about him...it is like playing a video game with a cheat - AND STILL NOT WINNING...then you become a laughing stock
- NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!!!CALLES
- yep. lbj was in a better position to win in cleveland, imo. this is a team sport, and they were tight. not so much now.doesnotexist
- Cleveland wouldn't have taken him anywhere. And the knicks did make it to the playoffs.duckseason
- < my bad! they did make the 8th seed...loool
- in the shitty east, big dealloool

^ true.
Larry Bird and Magic Johnson used to not be able to be kept in the same room together - there was that kind of rivaly. It was personal and real - it led to stronger games and more furious play.
As a millenial, I can't say I remember those days - but man - I wish these guys would play with more passion.
