From Nick: “show me the stat that shows that the Thunder can’t win with Durant and WB taking most of the shots.”

My answer: Russell Westbrook: 37.45 minutes, 11-27 shots, 25 points;
Durant:39.31 minutes, 7-13 shots, 26 points

Those two shots most of the ball, all others were in single digit, except Ibaka with 13 points.

It only needs one answer to your question to squelch the notion that it needs only two players to carry this team. My example is now part of the statistics to counter your preconceive thinking that the Thunder can win by using only one player (your man-Westbrook), by your example. Now you only gave me two examples, which the the Nets game, as per example I don’t even bother to verify.

Here is an example of 1 statistic from Elias sport bureau:

RUSSELL WESTBROOK ON RECORD PACE

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Thunder is on pace to become only the second team in NBA history to have a scoring champion not take the most shots on his team.

With Westbrook (18.8) attempting more shots than current scoring leader Durant (17.9), the Thunder could join the 1954-55 Philadelphia Warriors as the only two teams with that distinction.

Neil Johnson won the scoring title for the 1954-55 season, but teammate Paul Arizin attempted two more shots per game that season.

By the sports writers view point, he starts to get statistics to back his story and that’s were some disagree. It is alright to agree to disagree, but not to be name calling those people who are not with you.

Name calling starts when people (usually 3rd graders or lower) cannot anymore handle to make sense or argue the facts throw out there. Their mind is already clouded by anger and retaliation for someone. Please let’s not start something that we cannot finish. Let’s be adults here and mature because there are young people also reading this news>

However, to “prove your point” you post one example and restate the same example 12 times. Yet, you readily acknowledge that one example is insufficient to prove the opposite of the point you are making.

I think you are pretty funny.

The team is great with BOTH Westbrook and Durant. They seem to be able to work well together–lets enjoy watching them do so.

I don’t defend WB because I am a fan boy who hangs on his every move. No one has ever seen me on here or anywhere else after WB has a great game telling everyone that he is the bees knees. I am only defending him here because so many don’t realize or understand what they are watching. The Thunder have the best offense in the league. They have the biggest point differential in the league. They have two superstars.

You don’t like him. Fine. But your point doesn’t even come close to showing that the Thunder should ask WB to stop being aggressive and taking shots.

By anecdotal evidence means based on casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis.

The data I presented is factual and now part of the Thunder-Spurs stats, not personal observation, as TD also tried to counter and you trying to fall back on it. I guess TD and you are Westbrook man crush, as Patti would say!

So to your point, giving me 2 examples makes it an statistic and one does not make sense. It takes several for it to work, but probably you have enough time on your hands to go do it.

To my point, only one example is what I need and I will end the non-sense of proving yourself, but will not get my approval.

All you have shown me is that during one game that the Thunder lost, Durant and Westbrook took more shots than the rest of the team. They took 40 shots. Do you really not understand that it takes way more than just that to establish a pattern to show that the Thunder “can’t win”, which is what I asked you to show me. In fact, I showed you a game in which they took 44 combined shots and won a game in the Finals. My point, as it has been the entire time, is that there is a multitude of reasons that the Thunder lost against the Spurs and beat the Heat that had nothing to do with how many shots KD and WB took.

As for your question, there are a couple of examples that I can think of where WB basically won a game pretty much by himself. The Boston game that someone already mentioned earlier. There is also a game against the Nets that went to overtime where KD was out with injury that WB took over and pretty much won.

From Nick: “show me the stat that shows that the Thunder can’t win with Durant and WB taking most of the shots.”

Here again is my answer and I only need to show you one to prove my point. Maybe because I was able to show you one and you want more:

Russell Westbrook: 37.45 minutes, 11-27 shots, 25 points;
Durant:39.31 minutes, 7-13 shots, 26 points

Those two shots most of the ball, all others were in single digit, except Ibaka with 13 points.

Now how about you stating your own stat of the above?
You can ask all the questions, but you don’t have an answer for it, forget my aswering your dumb ones.

So, to show you the error of your ways I took the last win from last year’s playoffs and gave you an example of Durant and WB doing exactly what you said they shouldn’t do, and they did it to win a Finals game. It doesn’t prove anything anymore than your one game of evidence proves anything, but it should have at least have shown you that anyone can take something out of the box score of one game and make it more than it should be like my other example with Derek Fisher’s shots.

Did you even read my post?
