    Westbrook doesn't make others better.

    Doesn't mean he isn't a great player - but he is anything but a great point guard.

    This is like people who argue Russell Wilson isn't a great QB because so much of his value is tied up in his running.

    Just because Westbrook doesn't fit the traditional definition of the position doesn't mean he's not a great PG. All this time I thought Westbrook was holding Durant back and it turns out it was the other way around.

    Agree. But I'd still take Curry over Westbrook.

    Hard to put Parker THAT high on the list ... he's lost a step and he's not asked to do what some of the other guys are doing because he can't carry that load anymore.

    But as with most of the top end guys on the Spurs, they have a great support system and have checked their egos at the door at this stage of their careers to know that the team is greater than the individual.

    I do think this is arguable. I'd probably rather play with Curry but I know I'd rather play against Curry.

    We have already seen Westbrook try to shoot his way through the playoffs and fail. I just don't trust him to be efficient when it really counts.

    I don't really disagree. We've never seen Curry or Paul push their way through the playoffs either. PG play in general is overrated.

    I really thought it was the year for #MyGrizz until the last week. Now I'm thinking San Antonio again maybe? I don't really know. Won't be Cleveland though. #HiRace!
