They have an infinitely better record when he gets a triple double, most of their loses he didn't get one.

The NBA is so fucking stupid. They put so much weight into things that don't matter.

The night he got the average, the night he solidified his triple double average was last week against the Suns and everyone was going crazy how he is a god


they got fucking blown out. by the fucking Suns, a trash team. Westbrook is fucking ass, but omg look at dem arbitrary metric!

this shit is Rondo all over again. I hate the NBA and NBA journalism.

defensive rebounds and scoring when the game is clearly done are prolly the only real way

i guess passing up open shots to a guy so you can get the assist? dont think westbrook is really guilty of any of these

Beg for more play time, play in garbage time just to get stats when they are inconsequential. Not playing defense so you can grab the rebound. begging for the ball and taking horrible shots. having your team chuck horrible shots to give you assists, chucking shots in general. Your teamates not grabbing rebounds or playing intentionally so that the person padding can increase his stats. It's such garbage and they only do it because NBA fans are fucking morons and care so much about worthless records being broken.


Basically, stat padding is when you stop playing to win and start doing things that aren't strategic, like refusing rest, giving the other team the advantage for stats, not making the most efficient move for your stats and so on

Except the team literally has a losing record when he doesn't get the triple double.

If a player scores 100 points per game
gets 20 rebounds per game
30 assists per game
and the team loses then he's not fucking good. It's not like the other players on the Thunder are trash.

Westbrook will be a first round exit like the trash he is and somehow he will be considered a historical greatness up until he gets exposed like Rondo did

as fucking garbage because Rondo was legit garbage.

Obviously Westbrook is better than Rondo, but still

By not playing defense/contesting shots and instead going for rebounds and having the bigs pass up easy rebounds so that Westbrook can get them

As if he isn't padding even when he doesn't get one. Hmmm I wonder why that would correlate, maybe because losses = less overall team stats which = less average individual stats and so on.

Why do people say this point without putting critical thought into it?

You're acting like 45 wins and the sixth seed after you lost an MVP caliber is bad.

The only reason they are ANY good is because of Westbrook. They are statistically complete trash without him.

btw I'm not faulting Westbrook.

He's going to lose a lot of games no matter what because he isn't that good and with the way they reward arbitrary stats in the NBA media, I would play for stats too.

First of all, they aren't any good. They are bad and part of the reason they are bad, is because Westbrook is not very good.

So many teams... I mean SO MANY teams have been carried by a single great player, way farther than fucking 6th seed with decent support.

this is a fucking disgrace that this man will get MVP.

Secondly, they have never played a single game this season without him.
So that "statistic" is literally false

And thirdly this isn't a new development. You act like it was a surprise that they would be able to get 6th seed without Durant. Durant has been injured for long stretches and the Thunder have similar results and a similar record to now.

The only reason why now is different is because the NBA media is obsessed with fucking triple doubles.


TRIPLE DOUBLES OH MY GOD TRIPLE DOUBLES!


This guy got 50 points 20 assists but only 8 rebounds, we don't care!
IT HAS TO BE TRIPLE! THREE 10s! IT HAS TO BE BECAUSE IT LOOKS COOL ON A PIECE OF PAPER

The trip-dub record has been a team-wide goal since at least the all-star break.

The rest of the team just gives him rebounds and let's him play hero ball so he can get it every night.

It's hardly an accomplishment.

42 triple doubles and your team is still the 6th seed.

He did, but the point is TC was celebrating while they were losing. That's why the NBA is so fucked.

I don't think people should salivate over triple doubles this much, but you're definitely underselling how amazing Westbrook has been this season. Thunder would be a bottom three team this season praying for a lottery pick without Brook.

I don't think Westbrook should win the MVP because of triple doubles this season, but whether he grabs 9 or 10 boards a game - he should be in the top 2 with Harden because he's being so amazing this season

Also he's celebrating an individual player's performance in a game were they have their seed locked in place. I also doubt TC is a thunder fan

It's the same reason why 50/40/90 is a plateau, but 52/38/90 doesn't get the same recognition.
