And when Jrue is on the court in lieu of Reke, the team badly misses his pentrating abilities.

Westbrook is going to score regardless of who is on him. Was ~45 points ridiculous? Yes, but Reke has been playing a TON of minutes. I'm sure the team was pretty worn out by the time the ASB came around.

I actually like Reke in the game late. He opens up much more opportunites than Jrue IMO.

If you like PG Tyreke better than Holiday that's fine, but this is just a stupid hill to plant your flag on

Russell Westbrook
2 Games with Jrue
6/20 - 21 pts
10/27 - 29 pts

2 Games without Jrue
18/31 - 45 points
15/28 - 48 points

Where's the evidence to back up your claim? Tyreke although brilliant at times has nearly lost games at times(OKC...).

If we were wanting to get rid of jrue, this is my favorite option

LINK

Jrue and Anderson

Lawson and faried

Yall think Denver would do this? I know they're probably looking for picks but I thought it was a pretty beneficial trade for both sides

Right now Holiday is as untradabable as Gordon has been.

If he doesn't get it fixed right or retire because he can't, then probably the best thing to do is gut it out and aim for 2016 FA. Gordon and Anderson will be off the books and you can stretch Holiday's last year at $3.4 for 3 years.

Against the likes of minny/lal/phi?

we did beat some good teams like the mavs/clips/hawks

But all of those were at home where we've played well.

Of course y'all think he's average

I'd hate to see what you guys would think of a guy like burke or mcw if they played here.

Bet yesterday was a good day for your own self gratification no?

He's about 13-17 range so I don't know what you're talking about?

I couldn't care less what "range" he's in because that's all opinions and opinions are often infested by bias.

I only care about how he does on this team.

Point guard is a stacked position. There are about 20 good ones, Holiday is one of the good ones.

Not at all. When healthy, he is easily the second best player on the team. Our only consistent perimeter defender as well. Remember what Westbrook did to us in the 2 games without him.
