That is what you need off the bench!!! A spark!

I am excited to watch him for the celtics! Fun to watch and entertaining and can score!!!!

He was always going to do this at Boston. He has free reigh, they dont care about defense, winning or how selfish he is so he will kill it there. -7 on the floor tonight against the Lakers isn't a good sign though.

Love watching OKC when KD is out. Westbrook is such a BOSS.

Isaiah Thomas looked just like he did on the Suns. He looked like a loser. 5'9" ball hogging no clue how to play team basketball wanna be Allen Iverson. Never gonna win with a guy like that starting or coming off the bench in a million years. I am so happy he is off the Suns.

He got ejected too, him picking up techs must have made the Morris twins proud.

Yeah they taught him well.

Not really, even without Durant, Westbrook is still much better than anyone else on the Suns and can carry the Thunder on his back to the playoffs easily.

I remember someone here told me that they would rather have Bledsoe than Westbrook and I argued it so much. Everytime I see Westbrook dominate, I think of that comment.

^this. IT is a perfect match for Boston because there's not really much pressure there and he's their best guard and maybe even best player now. Here in PHX, we had two guys better than him.

Its a win for IT because he gets what he wants, complete reign over the offense and a win for Boston because they get a guy who is probably better at scoring than anyone else on their team.

With Jeff Hornacek as our head coach there is a 0.000000000000000000000000% chance we make the playoffs.

Yeah, in no universe is Bledsoe better than Westbrook. You take Westbrook 10 times out of 10.

Right? I mean I'm biased because Westbrook is my favorite player in the NBA and has been for a long time but even when looking at it objectively, I don't think Bledsoe is quite in the same league as Westbrook.

I mean for Bledsoe, his ceiling is basically where Westbrook is right now but he's far, far from hitting it. And remember, Westbrook is still pretty young, only 26 years old so he's gonna improve and become even better eventually.

Westbrook is on fire every minute he is on the floor. Its like he drinks cistern of coffee before every game :lol:

And he is probably most althletic player in the league. Bledsoe is tier below.

I hope Suns won't pursue that 8th spot and focus on future. Give young guys some minutes and see how they look.

BTW when last season ended how crazy it would be to think that Spurs and OKC would be on 7th and 8th spots

saintEscaton · Post #554 » by **saintEscaton** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 7:54 pm

Hopefully OKC pulls away soon and removes any temptation of us trying to make a late season push

Westbrook is just such a unique player in the way he approaches things, to give an example, without KD he averages a bit over 30 minutes, with KD he averages about 35 minutes, while that might sound counter intuitive, w/o it's basically 30 minutes of non stop Russellball, and there's no way he could maintain that for 35-38 minutes.

lol at Laker playing players celebrating and Kobe's reaction. This will end well.

So I guess he was waived not bought out. Poor guy, Philly is a crazy house.

They did waive Malcom Thomas to make room. I really wouldn't mind picking him up and playing him at backup PF. That dude can rebound. We could sign him to a ten day contract and see how it works.

Just heard on MBA TV. Derrick Rose diagnosed with a meniscus tear in his right knee and will undergo surgery again. Too bad this didn't happen a week ago they might have been a good trade partner for Dragic.

Gotta think Rose is almost done with all these injuries.

Westbrook with another triple-double in 28 minutes, 20/11/10.
Serious question, who would take Durant over him at this point if we could have one of the two (assuming both are healthy)?
