sillent Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Who would you rather have Jeff Teague or Russell Westbrook? They both play hard on both ends of the court but Teague is more of a team player. Teague is also more finesse while Westbrook is more aggressive. Who would you choose if both were healthy? I'd still choose Teague all day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted November 29, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Jeff Teague is my point guard. He has earned the respect and support of the fans. End of story. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillent Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Jeff Teague should definitely be an all star if not more!! Kudos to the tool that was Rick Sund... ps. Danny Ferry didn't do so bad with his pg pick either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Westbrook played 23 mins tonight and had 32/8/7. Teague is playing like Kevin Johnson right now but Russy is on another planet right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Peoriabird Posted November 29, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Stupid question! Westbrook makes almost twice as much as Teague. Apples and Oranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye242424 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 The health issue is the elephant in the room. I think Westbrook might have more talent, albeit not much... I think Westbrook benefits by having the first or second best player in the league next to him. I vote for JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Westbrook played 23 mins tonight and had 32/8/7. Teague is playing like Kevin Johnson right now but Russy is on another planet right now.Never thought of the KJ comparison. He damn sure looks like him with a little higher usage. It may be due to what Stinger alluded to after the game which is Teague getting sneaky strong. He's looking pretty chiseled up top. Jeff has one of the best deals in the league and has proven to be a little iron man throughout his career. Westbrook a fool for sure but I'm satsfied with our PG crew.

Admin Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Westbrook because he's big, physical and gets superstar calls. I like Teague more and would prefer him to Westbrook but if I'm simply wanting to win I think Westbrook gets you there quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willthepureshooter Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I would gladly a mild tempered Teague over Westbrook. Westbrook has too much of a gunslinger attitude that will lose you games. And he has a knack for making back to back boneheaded plays. Teagues dangerous because of his refined confidence. HE KNOWS HE CAN GET TO THE BASKET AT ANYTIME. What gives me goosebumps is the way he can takeover and flow within the game while keeping his teammates involved. And he will dunk on you at anytime. He's what Bobby Jackson should've been back in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But until then, Russ has the advantage. Plus it would be really nice having a guy who can rebound like that in our backcourt since the rest of the team are mostly average to below average rebounders for their positions.

Guest Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'm a diehard Hawks and Teague fan but I would drool to see Westbrook on our squad. I would say he's prolly one of a few players in the nba that can finish at the rim, midrange jumpers, 3's, dimes, rebounds, steals, plays defense and is a straight up pitbull...there is not much he can't do. Having said that I'm very happy with Teague's continuous improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeltdown Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Its obviously Westbrook but I am a Hawks fan and support Teague and the Hawks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jy23 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'm a hawks fan first and foremost so I love Teague...but come on y'all. Westbrook is a top 3 pg in the game, could argue he's the best depending on what you want....Teague is a borderline top 10 guy. When he's aggressive he's def top 10 but we all know that's not always the case. If he continues to play this way tho we will be a tough team to stop. He just has to keep his foot on the gas game in and game out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Against the Pellicans last night: Atlanta's PG Hit 15 of 25 shots including one from downtown, hit 6-7 free throws, grabbed 6 rebounds with 9 assists and had a total of 37 points. Not bad. Not bad at all. This two headed monster is the real deal! GO ATL HAWKS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Teague more and would prefer him to Westbrook but if I'm simply wanting to win I think Westbrook gets you there quicker. I think Teague will start to get more superstar calls. I believe Westbrook is more talented but Westbrook is also more selfish. Teague is more coachable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just has to keep his foot on the gas game in and game out This is a very interesting take.. Leads me to this... What is your NBA top 10 PGs? I will go first: 1. Chris Paul 2. Steph Curry 3. Jeff Teague 4. John Wall 5. Rajon Rondo 5. Damion Lillard 7. Reggie Jackson/Westbrook 7. Ty Lawson 9. Darren Collison 10. Mike Conley Jr. HM: Kyle Lowry. Why Teague is so high? High Points, High Assists and this year... Sky high FG%!! He's shooting a better percentage than Lebron. The other place that has become a High place for Teague is FT attempts per game. He is first amoung PGs in FTA per game. That means that Teague is driving more and getting fouled when doing it. He is a QUALITY PG. And Like I said in another post... The Phil is HIS HOUSE and the League is starting to take note! For those who still believe that Horf is the face of the Hawks? Cmon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazer Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 People forget Westbrook is the #1 ball-stopper in the entire league. Holds the ball longer between passes than any other player. Not today ISO, not today... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jy23 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Westbrook is one of the best rebounding guards I've ever seen, his athleticism is off the charts ridiculous, defensively it's not even a conversation between he and Teague bc Teague has yet to care about defense. While I understand we are excited about Teague and what he's doing let's keep it realistic people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
