EIt's just the continued narrative for people who don't like Westbrooks style of play, The Thunder team Won A LOT more often when Russ had a triple double opposed to when he didn't, yet somehow people are still trying to frame it as if it was a detriment to the team.

I was just told that those exact things weren’t advantages in another argument though.

I feel like Simmons and Mitchell might get that Co-ROTY like brand/franchise and hill/kidd.
if i had to pick one it would obviously be simmons but i really hope mitchell wins it

There’s zero argument for Mitchell having a better season than Ben so y’all resort to the “well he’s not even really a rookie” argument

He has a better Supporting cast, he started the year slow, he's averaging about a full 7 points less, & there's a few people ahead of him in terms of what they did this year. People like to make the Joke that he got the MVP Purely off numbers (As If those weren't other wordly numbers) but he had Huge games & made winning plays often last season.

You can’t post that without posting the insane 4th quarter meltdowns and bad misses he had... just like last night.
If you take those types of shots that much of course you’re going to make enough to put a highlight video together
. It’s not as sexy a video when you stop passing and miss 5 threes in the 4th while your teammates keep getting you the ball back on defense.

Brett Brown definitely deserves COTY when you have a rookie who can’t shoot, another rookie who forgot how to shoot, a big who can’t stay healthy and a guy who still hasn’t come over yet. And still might win 50 games lol

81. When he sat, Oladipo had 20, 9, & 6, hit the game-winning jumper, Sabonis had 19 & 9, they outrebounded KAT and the Wolves by 19, and got a road win.

He played 81 games and had the highest usage rate of all time. If you believe that was due to necessity...I really don't know what else to tell you.
I couldn't care less if you think he's the MVP...I'm simply pointing out the situation his "trash" teammates were in last season. Between last season and this season's roster with a "Big 3"...there's a common denominator.

Thanks for Highlighting that Star players Don't always Make the right play, so enlightening.
Led the league in fourth Quarter Scoring, Led the league in baskets scored in close games under 5 minutes. His team had a something like a 70% winning percentage when he got a triple double.... & yet somehow he's the detriment to the team.
Russ was BY FAR more conducive in that team winning games than he was in losing them. Every star player has games when he makes bad plays at the end. He's no different But last year he made way more positive plays than negative & he got rewarded for it. This year Harden will Get awarded for it, let's Hope him & CP haven't saved those late game blunders for when it matters most.

How does that specifically make it easier for them to add Bron though?

Did you not read my previous post about how I was the only one saying he'd succeed at point guard? I like him more than most on this board so I'm the last to throw shade at him

They need as many tradable contracts as possible. They wouldn't be able to trade anyone they sign this upcoming summer until mid-season.

The majority of NT pretty much thinks the Jazz should sweep the COY, DPOY and ROY awards.
With a worse record and easier schedule than the Sixers and possibly not even making the playoffs.

It’s mad funny and predictable that you try and make this argument like “well all star players take and miss shots” and then post a bunch of volume stats.

My dude: it doesn’t apply. None of those players have the highest usage rate in the history of the NBA. None of those players are statistically the worst 3 point shooters at volume in the entire league. Sorry but Russ isn’t Kobe, Harden, whomever.
He’s not BAD, he’s incredible at certain things he’s just bad in the clutch and has serious flaws.
