Roberson maybe the worst offensive player in the NBA.

Yes even worse than Anthony Bennett...

Whwn your shot isnt falling, get to the line. A near triple double in the first half is beasting.

By far one of the stranger things I've seen a player do in basketball. Have no clue what he was thinking...

1. If you don't have a shot working, that alone would indicate that you aren't "beasting"

2. Having a close to 1/1 ast/to ratio isn't "boasting" (btw he had the best brain fart I've seen on the court in a long time)

He's had a nice game, don't get me wrong, but "beasting"? Really? You and I just have really different definitions of what that means.

Westbrook should get a triple double every night he handles the ball 95% of the time when hes on the floor.

Westbrook is awesome.....Durant is awesome. Why can't people just celebrate the beasting of both players? Obviously Durant plays on the better team so it's much easier for him. I mean hell Golden State was better than us last year when we had KD. OKC hung with them for the 1st half which is longer than most teams have this season.

I was on that night.... check my comment history.

Cavs played like garbage and got smashed.... Nothing more to it... nothing controversial about my view, I don't think.

Which is the difference between me and you (well, one of the many). I can admit when my team or player doesn't perform well. Come to think of it, this trait has been and integral part of many of the successes that I've had so far in my adult life. Maybe you could learn from it. PM me if you'd like to learn some more; serious offer.

Anyways, 1-1 for the season. 1-1 in the last two finals.

Ohh yea, isn't this a Westbrook thread?

Highest usage rate in the last 25+ years, massive ballhog.

The scary thing is that it took until his fifth step for the ref to actually call it....given the way travelling is called these days, if he had taken only three steps, he probably would have gotten away with it...

To me, the triple double this season has lost a consirable amount of value the way its reached now game after game. As mentioned in this thread, if the player in question has the ball in 95% of the time, its almost harder not to reach a TD. Draymonds Triple doubles come from team play, not him hogging the ball.

It reminds me of when i used to play a 90s bball videogame, i focused on 1 player to get him 30+ points and double digits in rebs and asst as well in every game.

Wow, poor old Westbrook. At least he got his triple double. It's pretty funny when his fans start making really weak excuses to justify his play sometimes.

I think he's awesome, selfish, but awesome. He's just never gonna win anything playing that way.

Do you have a better suggestion on how they could have beaten the warriors tonight? Serious question.

Honestly I didn't get to see ANY of the game yet. But there's a direct correlation between Westbrook jacking up 3s and Turnovers and losses. He's completely reckless. Sometimes even when he plays well.

It's just funny how so many excuses come out, even before the game.
