I disagree. Baka nga 3-0 na yan if you put Westbrook in and take Durant out. Tony Allen can take on Westbrook. Gasol, Randolph and the bigs can take care of the Westbrook penetrations. Choose your poison.... Westbrook jumpshots or Westbrook ISOs. Either way, you are left with Westbrook jacking up a ton of shots.
Well, that we have yet to see. When Westbrook is in and Durant is out. As we are seeing now, OKC can't win with Durant alone. What I'm saying is they MAY win with Westbrook alone because the guy just simply won't back off. The problem with KD is when you swarm him with the best defenders, he has the tendency to back off, wait for a play to develop until a better option shows up. Unlike Westbrook who wants to ball, always!! Like the Mamba attitude. Westbrick will make those FTs that Durant missed. Westbrick will make those layups that Durant missed. Westbrick may win games for OKC.
As one article said,
"The best of what Durant is—his scoring efficiency, his prowess in the clutch—is owed, in part, to Russell Westbrook. And the worst of what Durant is—a superstar talent without superstar moxie—is concealed by Russell Westbrook.
And for a Thunder team not content to wait its turn, it’s Westbrook, not Durant, who fuels their precociousness."
Westbrook is the Alpha Male of OKC, not Durant. I am still waiting for KD to prove me wrong.
