Yeah but you have Thibs as a top 3 coach based on beating a shitty ass Brooklyn Net team that was already on its 2nd coach during that particular season. Some lofty standards you set.
You also go to the death for Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony (in his prime) never had the benefit of playing with anyone as good as Paul George.
If you put Kyrie "the bitch" Irving on OKC i guarantee they beat the Jazz.
Westbrook's career isn't over and he's already got more playoff experience than Anthony. I'm not sure what Thibs has to do with anything here but I respect how your admiration for him compels you to keep bringing him up randomly. If bitch ass Irving was in OKC he'd do the same thing he always does: get injured and miss games.
Let me explain it for you. Westbrook as the best player model isn't exactly a recipe for success in case you haven't noticed. His playoff success is mostly due to being a second banana to Kevin Durant. It is becoming clearer with each passing year that he was the 3rd best player on the team that made it to the finals. I say this as a Westbrook fan by the way. Unlike you I don't let bias get in the way. Westbrook has been in the league for 10 years too. He isn't a spring chicken by any stretch.
Also your guy Lebron revealed himself to be the bitch in all of this.
Lastly you celebrate the "great" Thibs yet what the hell has he ever one? He has no record of doing anything yet for some reason that doesn't preclude you from singing his praises whenever the mood strikes.
Admitting Westbrook was the second banana on the OKC finals team is the intellectually honest thing to do, but why would anyone do that when you hardly reciprocate? Calling him the third best on the finals team isn't accurate by any stretch.
LBJ is the king of this league. Irving is a mosquito.
Gotta admire your continued admiration for Thibs. Second post in a row where he's made an appearance.
I admire your Thibs deflecting also. You were (as others were) perfectly content to discuss all things Thibs while you believed that he was an elite coach. Now that it has been essentially proven that he isn't you are running away fast.
Westbrook may have been regarded as the second best player on those teams but it is evident that he wasn't. Harden and Durant are clearly better and this isn't an age thing since all are in their respective primes. For once FavreFan may actually be right about something with him.
LBJ is nothing more than a team engineering wuss that refuses to play whenever he doesn't have the team or coach that he prefers. Without an elite supporting cast he isn't shit and these playoffs will demonstrate it.
