>>74954040
>Have 2nd worst TOs/per game in the league
>Still average less TOs a game then the only other serious MVP candidate
HOW DOES RUSS DO IT?
>>74954040
If you're taking up the absolute majority of your team's ball handling and have 6 a game but the team as a whole have an average amount of turnovers per game that's not bad at all.
You're not putting it in perspective.
Thunder are more excused by this when you compare their lack of ball handlers so Westbrook is more required to handle the ball.
Rockets have at least 3 above average ball handlers on their team outside of Harden. So if those guys have a TO added on Harden's historic amount of TOs it hurts their team more.
And of course not all TO are equal. Dead ball TOs are preferred (traveling, offensive foul, out of bounds) than a live ball TO that can lead to fastbreak points depending on where the TO happens and what the other team does with it.
>>74954318
>the absolute majority of your team's ball handling
what is this stat called?
>>74954377
No real stat. You just need to watch the game.
During different periods in the season they both let other guys on the team run some plays but both handle the ball at least 80% of the time they're on the court. Westbrook is higher in my opinion because I regularly see Ariza and Beverley run some plays if they're denied a three point shot and Beverley runs pick and roll as a PG.
Westbrook plays as a SG for a small transition period before Semaj gets benched for Oladipo in the 4th quarter and Oladipo plays PG for a little bit after, but usually the ball immediately goes back to Westbrook in those plays because he's the target for those plays.
So it changes depending on the flow of the game and rotations of substitutions.

Imagine if those two fuckers had a kid. Would they be as cute as North and Saint?
I've seen some people complain about Brogdon being dirty, but I never watch the Bucks
is he "dirty" like Steven Adams and Delly in that he's extremely physical and doesn't care if it bothers you, or is he "dirty" like Marcus Smart and has no problem doing willfully dangerous without regards for whether it might injure his opponent?
Did Pacers sign Lance just to fuck with LeBack in the playoffs?
>>74955699
Steven Adams and Delly. Brogdon is a terrific defensive player, isn't dirty. Been following him since Virginia.
Is LeBron injewed?

When you're down 21 in the second half, against any team in the NBA, you're 99.2% guaranteed to lose.
This is a once in a lifetime comeback game and the greatest in Sonics/Thunder history.
Westbrook scored something like 30 or more points in the 4th quarter and overtime without turning the ball over once after the first quarter and hit a bunch of crazy threes.
You don't understand how improbable this win was. This was possibly the greatest comeback effort by a single person in NBA since T-Mac scored a bunch of points in 30 seconds to beat the Spurs.
>>74957000
>When you're down 21 in the second half, against any team in the NBA, you're 99.2% guaranteed to lose.

But Westbrook leads the league in PER and Harden is barley better in shooting percentages. He's sub 45% FG% and 35% 3PT% and leads the league in TO. Westbrook is also leading on VORP and just about every major advanced stat.
Statically KD is having the greatest offensive year ever.

>>74957624
Lebron is also averaging his highest rebound and assist totals of his CAREER this year, but since Har_en is really good at getting fouls we gotta suck him off
I blame most of the cavs defense on the coach, they have good individual defenders but they suck at defending the pick and roll and shit like that. As a team overall, they have zero techniques and look lost. The team may not have liked David blatt, but atleast he instilled a defensive mentality in the cavs. He should still be coaching, not lue

4. James Harden
5. Klay Thompson
6. Kawhi Leonard
7. Kevin Durant
8. John Wall
9. Dion Waiters
10. Draymond Green
If your a dude can't will his team to win against top teams by sheer force and will to win then he's not a top player, just a statpadder.
>Westbrook shoots 39% from the field against. .500+ teams
>>74960741
>Klay above Kawhi
>>74960741
Being able to force your team to a win in a few regular season games doesn't make you a champion. Being able to do it semi-consistently in playoff games does.
>>74960769
Klay went nuclear to beat the Thunder in the playoffs last year, Kawhi Leonard doesn't have that extra gear and thats why the Spurs lost to them.
That's was a great stretch for the Celtics holding the 1st seed for 1 game
>>74960787
Thats why Anthony Davis isn't on this list
>>74960815
Hahahahahah lol dumb celcucks

>>74961227
Takes guts to say something like that the day after getting skullfucked by one guy.
Even Larry Bird was dumbstruck by MJ after sweeping him in his first playoffs with the Bulls.
Praying to the basketball gods that Lance & Paul cuck the Cavs in the 1st round
>>74961271
Jalen Rose was on that Toronto team when Kobe dropped 81 and can't shut the fuck up about it to this day.

why people reply to their own posts? i mean a guy just replied to himself not once but twice!

If the cavs actually lose to Chicago I'll start to actually be worried about them, resting and not playing D is one thing but losing now would just be embarrasing

chicago please win
if they cavs are so bad at defense, why not just have 3 guys cherrypick while K-love and Lebron throw amazing outlet passes?
Seems to me they'd score every time
Ay Chicago bulls fans, does my nigga Denzel Valentine get any minutes?

What's the best FM version?
Randle is due for a decent game, don't be fooled, this nigga don't give a shit about anyone but himself
>>74961701
but it'd especially work with the cavs since Kevin Love is such a good long-range passer and Lebron is a great passer and catcher too.
With other teams you could theoretically stop it by getting a steal or something. Nobody is going to be able to steal an outlet to Lebron
Why do the bulls only do well against good teams?

Because this year's cavs team is arguably worse than last year and they definitely aren't as hungry. Meme state also got better, so did every body else in the east.
>>74962694
and anyone who knows pattern recognition should be able to use their brains to figure out that means they probably have a greater than 4% chance of winning again this year.
history repeats itself
>>74962716
What actress should I fap to tonight?
>>74962663
People keep forgetting that LeBron is actually comfortable in the playoffs now. Yea it took half a decade.
Golden State Warriors are a far weaker team this year too. So I have absolutely no idea why they're anything above 40% and even that is generous.
>>74962704

Rubio is playing well though, getting under Dlo's skin

>>74963438

is Randle hurt or something?
>>74963422
This. LeBron is slowly, but surely, entering LeGod-mode. In LeGod-mode he elevates his whole team as well.
West Coast looking weak as shit though. So he can use a little more energy before finals unlike last year.
>>74963468
first time watching a Lakers game? don't worry, he'll pick up his energy with 2 minutes left
>>74963438
If Lebron had Love or Kyrie healthy for the finals in 2015 they would have two ships buddy
>>74963503
that's not an argument, anyone could say that any year
>>74963503
If lebron didn't cry to Adam Silver last year they would have zero

they would also have zero if Steve Kerr didn't job game 7
do we win any of these?

>Lakers bad record
>LeBron is back in Cleveland
>The fucking Golden State Warriors are 1 seed
only thing that hasn't changed is Boston in 1st. Good to know they're still good, but man has our rival fallen hard.
LeBron just recognizes that nobody is going to look back at this season in a decade from now but they WILL look back at the playoffs.
With this in mind he is conserving his energy so that he can have one of the most dominating performances in playoff history.
>>74963661

Man Jimmy Butler is good. It's a good thing he's stuck in chicago instead of a decent team like the celtics otherwise the cavs would be in trouble

Real talk. Not trading for Butler at the deadline is going to bite Ainge in the ass. They were only asking for 1 nets pick, a 2nd, Brown, Bradley, and crowder/smart. I can understand not doing the pg13 deal because Bird wanted way too much, but not getting Butler was dumb
Fucking stupid LeCuck, didn't he hear the Heat are in 7th, he can stop tanking and play for that 1st seed now

*Lebron hands cleveland the 2nd seed*

*Lebron pulls out a second round exit and hands it to Cleveland sempai*

Not trading for throwaway players like Gibson, Ibaka, Noel at the deadline is going to bite Ainge in the ass once the Celtics get swept in the second round.

>/nba/ thinks the Cavs will just turn it on magically after 4 months of being ass
LOL
The reason for cavs slump is quite simple I believe. In most of the losses the past 2 montgs cavs have either led at halftime or it has been close. I personally think Lebron has asked the cavs to reduce effort in the 3 quarter, so that they can learn to overcome 4th quarter deficits. Obviously this has not worked out many times as expected and it's gotten out of hand especially with LeBron's recent slump this month and Kyrie's shooting slump.
>>74964547
Cavs are unbeatable boy. They will sweep the postseason to bring another one to da Land.
Cavs need to waive JR Smith, he's destroying our team because he's a little crybaby thinking about his retarded child that was born 5 months early. If you aren't dedicated then fuck off.

Ricky Rubio has been playing at an allstar level since the asb. That knicks rumor really scared him straight

there should be a nba player program like scared straight, where you play with the knicks for a week to scare your players into what happens when you dont produce

>>74964770
Large markets are a meme in this day and age. People will show up for stars no matter where they are. If Giannis made it to the finals this year people would still tune in
Soon...
>>74964810
As it should be.
>>74964814
You got to see the big picture. It's not just about people tuning in to see a handful of games, it's about merchandise, and worldwide promotion. If Miami or LA win a title that's easily 1 million+ jerseys and hats sold and tons of media coverage, steven a smith and colin cowherd and the rest of those faggots don't shut up about it and millions of people flying in and out of LA see the merchandise and hear the shit-talking and it all promotes itself.
if milwaukee wins there's maybe a shitty parade that everyone forgets about the next day. The people in milwalky will care but it's not the same

Starters:
Westbrook, Dipo, Butler, Taj, and Adams
Bench:
Rose, Abrines, Sabonis (what he really plays), Grant, Kanter.
The team would be a monster.
the Cavs aren't gping to win the Finals the way they are playing
