    I actually like the idea of Westbrook for Rondo

    I disagree:

    6'10" 245. He can play Center in a league where there are only 3-4 good big centers.

    Maybe we should be crediting Tony Allen and Mike Conley instead of just blasting on Westbrook.

    Why? Westbrook does this year round. It's not like he suddenly changes when he plays Memphis. He's a gunner.

    Why do you have such a boner for Memphis?

    I will not deny that Westbrook is a gunner but without great defense he is often still able to find ways to score. He is still also averaging nearly a triple double in the series.

    Conley and especially Allen have been playing great defense on him.

    Allen has also been dominating Durant as well holding him to 36.3% shooting when he is on the court.

    I just respect great defense and therefore I like Memphis, it is the same reason I respect the Bulls, and rooted for the Pistons for years.
