I think he wills it. Here is my MVp in this order, Westbrook, Harden, Davis and Lebron.

Dirty Dez - you had to go through years to get those stats. Westbrook has had similar stats in a month.

Not really comparing their numbers but moreso skill level. After all the only player to do what he has done was MJ himself.

In 88-89' Jordan averaged 32/8/8 for an entire season except he shot nearly 54% from the field. :lol:

His stats are amazing but OKC last year had much better record with Durant and without Westbrook than it has this year. I would still take KD over WB

Wes Matthews might have just torn his Achilles against Dallas. Some type of foot injury at least.

People bashed our 3-guard lineup, but everyone is using it when they get desperate.
Mavs now playing with Barea/Ellis and Rondo hahaha

And you can see how effective it is.

I think most people never had a problem with playing that line-up when we were desperate, most here had a problem with us playing a Bledsoe, Thomas, Dragic, M.Morris & M.Morris line-up when we had the lead, were closing out games and were seemingly in control.

A 3 small guard line-up should be an deviation from your regular rotation (in times of desperate need for points in a hurry) not the bedrock of it.

Warriors used Curry-Jack-Thompson frequently last year, which was pretty effective. If we had kept Dragic-Thomas, and picked up another big to pair with Len we could have had a decent lineup.

Klay Thompson has the size and ability to defend small forwards though, and can play off ball infinitely better than the Suns guards.

That being said, I agree with Dragic/ Thomas would have been a decent line-up assuming Thomas would come off the bench and the two guards would only sparsely play together. A three guard rotation of Dragic / A 3d (e.g. D. Green )/ Thomas would have been a killer back-court.

The biggest issue with our 3 PG line-up was that none of them play particularly well off the ball.

RunDogGun · Post #677 » by **RunDogGun** » Fri Mar 6, 2015 2:43 pm

Our three guard lineup worked quite well with Markieff and Len filling the other two slots, regardless of lead or behind. The main issue was Goran and Bledsoe started out so inconsistent, causing IT to think he had a chance to take a starting spot from one of the two. Then all the guards tried to outdo each other to appear like the main man. They often forgot to be a team. But when they did remember, they all worked well off the ball.

That is bad news, but astute timing in the trade for Afflalo.
