BC they Dominate the ball and other players dont catch the ball in their comfort zone.Westbrook is one such player. Reggie Jackson is another.

Most of our players don't have a sensible comfort zone. Marcus Morris likes that low-% long 2. Drummond 2 feet from the basket is still dicey. KCP isn't eve a league-average 3P shooter -- at best, he's comfortable some days.

And sure, folks like Tobias and Boban have comfort zones... but that's no fun to talk about.

Sorry but I did actually laugh out loud

Care to continue with your train of thought?

It's ok to lol. It's a chat room; not an inquisition. I was looking at how much more comfortable Durant looks. His shots aren't forced and despite playing with one of the best shooters of all time the offense often goes thru KD. More so than when he played with Westbrook.

Dude you didn't even say anything about KD in your initial post and all you really did was make an incredibly vague statement which isn't really a discussion point lol. This may be a forum for free thinking but c'mon you have to at least present something in a clear concise manner for us to discuss/debate/critique, otherwise its just a waste of everyones (including yours) time. I'm keen to discuss ball as much as any of us but you have to give us something to chew into

Pretty sure that KD's useage percentage this year is a career low. i.e. even lower than his rookie season.

I likened Westbrook to Reggie Jackson who is an impossible ball hog to play with.That was a talking point if you choose to. You decide what's a waste of your time. I will decide what's a waste of mine.

Westbrook must be doing something right, OKC was a very good team this year and he didn't have much help.

So the #3 pg in assists is a "ball hog"?

The main difference is spacing. OKC never really had any lethal three point threats around Durant (Kevin Martin, Morrow, that's about it)

Westbrook has skills BUT I think he is a ballhog. Who takes 18 shots in the 4th quarter of a playoff game; btw he missed 14. Lebron, who is the better player, looks to get his teammates involved. Lebron looks for players in their comfort zones. With Westbrook and Reggie its good luck; you r on your own. imo.

Btw Marcus has a solid midrange game. I agree the long 2 pt shot is inefficient especially when you factor Marcus fade away into his shot. Around 15 ft Marcus is money. What I dont like about contact is he fades away from contact. He doesn't pump fake to draw the foul. And that gentleman is COACHING. If he doesn't get to the line he doesn't play. Dre shoots 13 ft running hooks he sits. Where is our coach who is coaching up these players?
