I love what Isiah Thomas said about Westbrook’s guarantee to stop Rubio. Basically he said it is the equivalent of him going to his coach and saying “I GOT BJ ARMSTRONG!” He also crowned Mitchell as a superstar already. Worth a view if you like this kind of stuff.

4:30 mark is the BJ Armstrong commentary. Near the end is the talk about Mitchell and how he is the next best thing.
Westbrook hangs triple doubles like no other but over that same time frame he has lost a lot of games. Durant was getting called out for liking a comment about how Westbrook is the problem. It was pretty apparent he was the problem. The only one who made an effort to control himself on the Thunder was Adams. Who really is held back by Westbrook. He should be averaging close to a 15 and 10 if not for Westbrook and his padding stats.
ESPN Durant liking a post
Melo is a great iso shooter player who forgets that he plays on a team with four other teammates. He shouldn’t be signed to a deal but he can score in the nba so he will. He would be prolific in that three on three league. I think his numbers approach other HOFers but unlike other greats no one will bemoan him not getting a championship. They will understand why he didn’t get one.
Pushoff P is interesting. I would argue that Mitchell has accomplished more than Pushoff P so far in their careers. I think Pushoff P will be paid very well by the Lakers still or someone else. He should go back to the east though where it is easier. If you called him for his Pushoffs to create space he wouldn’t have a long career. Unlike Mitchell with his sheer athleticism and speed creating space. Yeah I thought it was weird saying he is a HOFer. He has a long way to go just like Mitchell before he is in that conversation. Mitchell is making lists of individual accomplishments that even Pushoff P respects. Even if the Jazz could afford him I wouldn’t want Pushoff P. I used to not say that and I would be lying in saying the Jazz couldn’t use him. I will take a one way player like Oneale and Ingles over him. You get basically the same thing for cheaper and you get team players. Pushoff p has tarnished his image trying to play iso ball.
The most overrated in all of this is Coach Donovan. He should have benched Westbrook on the third foul. Then walked over to him and showed him Mitchell’s stat line at that point in the game. Then said WHO CARES ABOUT RUBIO!!
