Russell Westbrook with the Clippers is scoring the most points per possession of any player in the NBA on post ups. Also notice, with the Lakers he was still 15th. When teams put guards on Russ all he sees is BBQ chicken.

Clippers announcer: Westbrook for 3, probably not the shot you want out of the timeout if you’re Ty Lue. Also Clippers announcer after all 6 of T Mann’s bricked 3s: T Mann again without hesitation, Love to see it.
It’s wild how causal fans around the league really love/appreciate what Josh Hart does but don’t appreciate what Russell Westbrook brings to the table. Hart is like Russ-Lite without the playmaking yet he’s loved.
Shits hilarious. Lakers fans blaming the loss on Russ forgot that they blew the lead in crunch time without Russ even playing in the 4th, then were down 6 in OT before Russ even entered.
@ClutchPointsApp
Why they let these causals on tv? Go watch Steven Adams play with Russ then go watch him play the other years of his career. Russ got that man $100m who now scores 7 points a game in Memphis.
This commentary is Russ commentary in a nutshell. Russ gets elbowed in the head on his layup which I was told is flagrant and something a player should be ejected for, not even a foul here though. They don’t even mention it, all about Maxi getting hit in the face. 😂

Ty Lue: “It’s hard to tell 4 future Hall of Famers to play different when they’ve been doing it for so long…”
Reporter: “Has it been harder than you expected?”
“It’s been pretty hard. But I’m built for it. I love this team… It’s my job as well as our 4 guys to figure it out.”

Westbrook’s teams win 73% of the time he was a triple double. But go ahead and keep speaking on things you know absolutely nothing about, makes you sound smart……..
They’re far healthier than when Russ was there. Wtf. Russ was out there playing with players picked up on 10-day contracts and off waivers and continuing slandered for not winning while AD/Bron missed half the games.
LeBron James says the Lakers’ lack of health relative to the league’s top teams has been a challenge in developing the consistency needed to compete at their best. “We’re still trying to figure out our situation as far as how we want to continue to attack each game”
This is how you guard at the POA.
This gives you a chance to win possessions defensively. This gives you a chance at winning basketball games vs. great teams.
Y'all worry too much about 3pt%
@Joshua_dHoward
Late game decision maker? Russ was the clutchest player in the NBA that year, Luka hasn’t done anything memorable in the clutch. Luka is a better shooter, that’s it. Russ defensively light years better as well. All advanced stats say Russ’ season was better.
Just a reminder, Russell Westbrook eliminated both Kobe and Tim Duncan from the last playoff series of their careers. Russ used to go to war against GOATs and won his fair share. 2010s NBA was must see tv.
"He wins with grace. He loses with class."
The final seconds of Tim Duncan's career.
He had 19 PTS & 5 REB in GM6 vs OKC
Reminder: Duncan never missed the playoffs during his 19-year career

@BrandonRahbar
What don’t you understand about Russ has be playing well and they still can’t win? Lebron has been averaging close to 40 and the can’t win. Russ had 30 and Lebron had a triple double against Houston and they couldn’t win. Terrible team

Have you had another grown man slander/disrespect your family name every day for 6-8 months? You were cool with it? Where are you from?
DLO with a truly memorable WCF. No one will forget this one for years. 6.3 points 2 rebounds and 3.5 assists while being a cone on defense and a -47 plus minus. Simply stunning. You know what they say about Karma right

Clippers basically decided to pay $35m for what they were already getting for $4m instead of using that $35m in trade assets to fill the gaping hole at power forward. Shockingly, this season / post season ended the exact same way as last season.
Everything about this clip is Russell Westbrook at his best. Relentless hustle, setting is teammates up to be successful and bringing that contiguous emotional fire. If you can’t at least respect this clip then you don’t love basketball or sports in general for that matter.
