57 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists

insanity.

I gotta agree. While Hardens stat line is insane in its own right (Dudes a beast, lets be real). The most telling stat ive seen is this:

When Westbrook has a trip dub...the Thunders winning percentage is 80%. Without a Westbrook triple double... 33%. He is LITERALLY willing them to wins. The only other player with a similar stat is LeBron but Russ' numbers are overwhelming better. Not to mention idk how the cavs suck so bad without Bron seeing as they're still pretty loaded.

seriously anyone who votes for harden or anyone else is a lunatic. westbrook's going to have the first season-average triple double in 50 years (touch wood, but he doesn't have far to go) and he's dragging a garbage team into the playoffs.

MVP.

exactly.

Oh, interesting fact of the day: Oscar didnt win MVP the year he averaged a triple double. That was the year Wilt averaged 50ppg/25rpg. But he didnt win MVP either. Bill Russell did while averaging something like 19 and 23.

nuts.




hah.

also, he's only playing 34-35 minutes per game. it's like steph last year where his numbers were silly but he was often only playing three quarters.

man o man..



nail biter

 

the east sucks. how can it be so damn incompetent almost top to bottom? for so many years? baffling.

ya i think about that every time i look at the east/west standings.

i'd be curious to see the outcome of east vs west playoffs "comparison" though, like, 1 vs 1's, 8 vs 8's.. who would win that? you'd automatically think: the west.. but dno. Come playoff time, the east usually holds its' own.

but ya, such shit records at playoff spot >= 6.

edit: actually if you look at the win pct of the bottom teams in the East/West, East doesn't look AS bad. But ya, every year, the East usually looks like crap compared to the West.
