    Of course dumb plays happen
    That doesn’t make the player dumb
    Why is this hard to comprehend
    I can see why someone would defend Westbrook.He’s a HOF player.I don’t particularly enjoy his style of play but he’s certainly not dumb or stupid.even more comical is people saying such things want his ability and accomplishments
    I never read game threads because they are filled with emotion which is a detriment to logical thinking

    Dear god… has my support for Christian Wood landed me on the side of Westbrook sympathizers? I may need to rethink things…

    Is it allowed to say Paris Hilton is probably dumb?

    On the Wood front - I am on the fence about that one. In theory it's a very low risk / high reward move, and we have Bron and AD to keem him in check. However, if he doesn't pan out and has to be benched, we will be extremely tin on the C front. Let's hope for the best.

    What’s the criteria?
    Just my opinion?
    Greatest career?
    Highest peak?
    Most impactful?

    He asked you for YOUR opinion, that would mean that YOU get to set the parameters!

    Asked about him to Houston and Mavs fans in a discord channel. Here's what they say:

    Houston: he got screwed with the Harden trade. He gets there and months later the team sucks and is aggressively tanking. It got to him. Wood was committed initially and showed patience. But when he couldn't take it anymore, it got really bad. Believe he will be a good player in LA

    Dallas: he wasn't a bad defender. To be a BAD defender you have to be a defender. He was not . He's just not good

    Yes, just your opinion. There are no wrong answers.

    I would rather you label me a wuss than have to put up with never ending banter with someone I don't respect in the first place. I am too old for this s***!

    The main problem I had, and it may have just been me, it seemed we kind of devolved last season from a site that had great basketball debate to some just coming to argue. An example of this was if I would mention wanting to see a certain player getting playing time. I would get the same group coming back with, you can't give them playing time, they have to earn it. I had said that a thousand times, but I don't feel it necessary to have to put qualifiers into every single post because some posters are here to stir things up instead of debating basketball. Every player needs to earn their playing time and if we stay healthy, if this and if that, there are certain qualifiers that shouldn't have to be retyped with every post. If someone comes at you for not posting a qualifier yet again instead of basketball facts it kind of says something about their basketball knowledge to me.
