Did you watch the playoff clip of CP3 getting switched on to Harden? He didn't use a move, a head fake, crossover, nothing. He just dribbled straight past him like nobody was guarding him.
Westbrook's just a head case who wants his stats and cares little to nothing about things like D and possibly setting a screen once a year. And I was a huge Westbrook fan. Another great entertaining player. On one side of the court.

Firepower can be fun to watch. Not much fun in the playoffs though, when you actually have to play D consistently.

That team's failure to win it big outranks the Knicks' futility of the 1990's. KD, Harden and Westbrook? Goddamn, talk about a big three. How was it even possible to have that much firepower?

But.....? They went to the finals.
But......? They been going to the playoffs.....
But......? They have a treasure trove to rebuild.
Sucks But? Nope, we suck for 20 years and have little to show for it.
Wager who at this point is in a better situation? Us or them.

No you don't, Look at the score in the playoffs, they're well over the 100 point mark.

You have to play some D, but they way the rules are now, the pace of the game, and the way teams launch 3's....scoring is the key

Yes, you do. Look at how Miami won; they mostly shot **** from three and Butler did ALL his scoring in and around the paint. Look at the **** switching LA did on Butler. And look at the outcomes of the playoffs: Lillard/McCullom out, Harden/Westbrook out.
