Curry still bricking them 3s. What is Ayeesha doing to him?

Constant kombus from such a amazing woman doesn't come without a price. I'm still waiting for answers.

Did you notice we never even go for offensive rebounds at all as McGee and Zaza are next to useless

Good win for the warriors, the village pipu tht got KD came back for Curry, but e be like say Curry's odeishi strong mehn.
I can only imagine how the warriors' fans slowly chewed their hearts for the few minutes he was in the locker room
Mehn anyone can quote historical stats about MVP traditionally coming from Top 2 conference teams , say what you like but history was made to be broken. With every passing game, Westbrook is doing just enough for a strong MVP shout. I can't seem to look past him and Harden at this point (these are the only players consistent all through the season).And Harden isn't even in the Top 2

kawhi nko?

kawhi nko?

The thing is that because the Spurs are not really a "loud" team, Kawhi will probably not get it as a lot of people dont appreciaye players that are not "hyped"

Kawhi is not getting that much attention because NBA fans change opinions after every game. Russell is having a phenomenonal individual season but his team is 6th. How can he be the most valuable when 5 other teams are better than his? That's just like saying the MVP of the finals came from a team whose player didn't even get to the finals.

We don't need to get emotional about things. What's the fuss about a triple double; a ton of those rebounds are forced. Dude is still wrestling his centers for routine rebounds from missed FTs like man - give it a rest, you are great. I only respect the APGs and PPGs because no matter what, those are hard to force.

I still think the race is 3-way with LBJ having an outside chance but if Russell can somehow get his team to 4th- then he should share it with Harden or at worst win it.

@Eruditor, no brov, this isn't a similar comparison. The fact that Victor Oladipo and Enes Kanter aren't All stars who can carry the team just like the supporting cast around Curry and LeBron doesn't mean we should downplay the goodwork Westbrook is doing. It's not "just a triple double", it's a player playing with passion, being active on both boards and still bringing team mates into it with key passes and assists.
Even if we downplay the rebounds cos he doesn't go about it in a gentlemanly way, are we gonna say same for the points and assists?

LeBron ? No pls. The cry baby wouldn't mind having MJ and Scottie in his team just cos he believes thats the best way to stop the Warriors.
Kawhi? Just like the Spurs, the glory is shared by the team. If the Spurs are to get any accolade, it's perhaps another DPOY and Coach of the year.

While I think Westbrook is saltier than Lot's wife. The guy is playing his yansh off abeg. The teams ahead are ahead because they have more talent. Take out Westbrook and OKC are worse than the Brooklyn Nets. I still think he or Harden should be MVP

Kanter,adams and oladipo how now ?
dey don add taj Gibson.
what Westbrook is doing has become overrated to some extent,Harden carried the rockets to the 2nd seed in 13/14 with D12 who was injured and missed alot of games,Harden didn't get the MVP.
for me it should be either harden or kawhi because kawhi plays for Pop shouldn't count against him. if he wasn't on the spurs they wont be chasing the first seed.

Nothing westbrook can do will satisfy some people, i think okc has lost only six games when he gets a triple double, so yes, he needs to rack up that triple double for his team to have a chance, that says about the talent around the kid. Make we appreciate am abeg

No disrespect to Harden and others but I think Westbrook deserves the MVP award more than them. Leading a team that lost their best player to a competitor is not an easy task especially when one is surrounded by inexperienced players.

Like LeBron, Harden is on a team with good shooters and that makes it easier for him to get assists. Aside that, Harden enjoys running into players to draw fouls and we all know how efficient he is in shooting free throws.

Kawhi is the best two-way player in the league no doubt, but Harden and Westbrook lead him in virtually all stats categories. He should just collect his DPOY award and go.

I don't even like Westbrook but the guy don try abeg.

Chief pls don't take anything away from Pop. If ole Pop coaches Draymond Green, dude would be a total menace across the court.
What ur doing is akin to downplaying the influence of Fergie in Man Utd's consistent title chase and success.

I didn't even see your post before I dropped mine but it's good to know that many of us respect his hard work and leadership skills.

Same sentiments here, I never reckoned with him but at some point, you couldn't just wish away the numbers.
I mean, it's not like he notches his TDs over mediocre teams, dude is on course to average a TD for the season. That's no mean feat, hyped or not, only the Legendary Oscar Robertson has managed that feat.
Let's just give it to Westbrook for this season. The bigger boys can take their tin next season

Well said,brother!

Triple double this triple double that. If he shared responsibilities more his team would have won more games. This is science.

I never faulted his effort and drive - indeed, he is balling out of control. But the narrative that his team would drop to a lottery level without him goes the same way for even Lebron at Cavs or Harden at Houston.

Harden's teammates are expressing themselves better because he is bringing them in. One thing Russell seems to have learnt in his last few games is the need to spread the shots and points. That's the only reason they have been winning games. Last game against Raptors he had 24pts, 10 rebounds and 19 assists and Oladipo had 23pts, someone else 10 etc. by spreading it they won the game. If he had had 58points I bet you, Raptors would have won.

Harden was 8th last term and WBs OKC were 3rd. WB lost KD and Harden lost Dwight. WBs team sits 6th but Harden's team moved up to 3rd. If Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon played with WB, they wouldn't have received as many passes as Harden has been delivering. Then WB would have been battling Nené and Capela for rebounds. There is no way on earth you can convince me that WB in Houston would have had them sitting any higher than 3rd and that's what Harden has done.

A40:
You sound so sure the Clippers would beat the Jazz

i know rite...clippers love to choke. lets see..

I'll say give Westbrook the MVP for his personal achievement and give Harden for his resounding leadership. I don't even care. If I'm a center in OKC, and you fight or drag defensive rebounds with me, I'll smack your face. I also want to be great and not feel useless getting 6rbs and reducing my trade value I honestly don't know what that coaching staff is doing. One man's achievement over the team's success is feels kind of wrong. He has proved he can do it all but all these regular season gra gra is why KD left when he carries this superman attitude into playoffs.. We now know he can get Triple Doubles even in one half. He should start learning to get guys more involved, let Oladipo and Taj carry some load so they get used to it. People like Andre Robertson should be talked to shoot more. I don't know why but playoffs is different. The coach needs to start letting them play as a team cos winter is coming. If their only survival is like regular season where he has to average TDs with over hustle on rebounds, then no problem.

Curry still bricking them 3s. What is Ayeesha doing to him?

bball is 90% mental. those parking lot 3s he made cannot be practiced for, it was a mental space he was in...nothing you could do to stop that 3. I think he allowed the attention to get to him, which has thrown off his mental game some. If he ever regains that form, I will give mad respect..that 'microwave' switch is hard to turn back on once it turns off. If Im Curry, I'm getting off social media, and banning Ayeesha from social media too . You think adults are wise enough to keep some crap out of the home

There you go with the mental ish once again.lol lol lol, they are coming for you, sure as daylight.

Slowly but surely, Eric Spo is putting both feet into the playoff spot , and doing so well away from the spotlight.
Heat is the phenomenal story for me this season, that and Westbrook's TD record.
I hope Dion waiter's injury isn't as bad as it looks.

if we follow the logic That Pop can do no wrong then Duncan should never have been an MVP twice over and Pep should've worked his Magic on LMA whose stock has taken a serious hit since he joined the spurs.

the legendary Oscar Robertson did not win the MVP the year he averaged a triple double.
I personally have no problem with the TD's I want to witness history too but I don't like it when people use it to attack WB teammates.
WB seems to be doing everything because that Is how he wants it.

Bolded got me confused. You mean to say Duncan's success was entirely down to the player?
That LMA guy ehn........ his matter starts and ends with his village ppl
There could be some exceptions but I believe Spurs success is cos Pop harnesses the players' strengths for the greater good of the team, instead of allowing a superstar outshine everyone.

that is what a coach is suppose to do.
his players shouldn't be deprived of honours because they listened to there Manager infact it should be rewarded.
you think Donovan hasn't tried to make WB relax a little ?
my answer is Yes to the question by the way,he is the reason why The spurs are the franchise they are today.

Very good argument but how would he with Billy Russel and Chamberlain on their game?

Dude didn't lead the league in rebounds (understandably cos just like Westbrook, he was a PG)
But Big O didn't also lead the league in scoring that year, a sharp contrast from Westbrook who is head and shoulder above Isaiah Thomas this season.
If LeBron and Curry and Kawhi had been magical this season, no one would ever mention Westbrook as an MVP candidate. I'm sure you know he doesn't have much love from neutrals like me.

bron is having an historic year but lets leave him out.
Those aren't the only four candidate we've ruled out another likely winner because of emotional reasons.
So it should be KD,kawhi,harden and of course WB.
If you lead the league in scoring you get a scoring title and nobody will deny WB that.

Give Westbrook the mvp this season abeg. Dude plays for that individual award 70% of the time. So his efforts should be rewarded. Westbrook pretending he didn't want KD gone is what I don't like abt him. He had always wished this was his team.
Who is Curry? (In Westbrook's voice)

By historic you mean minutes played? (that's similar to what you mentioned about a player being outta the coach's control) cos tbh I don't see no history other than his moving up the all time list in scoring and all that which is bound to happen for a player with such longetivity.
Harden and Westbrook to me are in the same argument.
KD and Kawhi too are in same bracket, quietly efficient, not spectacular. NBA i believe is a flair league, one for the numbers. But it's all good, a dozen games from having a surprise. James may surprisingly be named the MVP, and the pundits would bring out numbers to defend the decision.

Scoring champ already in the bag.
Robertson's record is the next motivation.
KD beef or not, Westbrook has carried this team beyond my expectation. How many teams have fared better the season after their superstar departed?
If they can end the season in 5th, I believe they would take out Utah in the first round and that would be a big achievement for the season.
