Russ Westbrook Just Played His Last Game as a Laker

[Joe Sixpack]

He’s playing exactly how he’s always played, it’s just he doesn’t have the volume to overcome all of his fukkery. He always had bad hands, terrible handles, trouble finishing layups, and made terrible decisions, but because he had the ball all game he was able to overcome these things.

And he’s never been held accountable. None of those coaches ever held him accountable and all these stupid players in the league keep sayin the same dumb shyt “He plays so hard.. He’s non stop 100% all the time. He plays so hard he’s got so much heart”

fukk outta here with that

Russ has been gassed up so much by these players and the media that gave him that MVP he really thinks he’s a great player

this situation reminds me of how career ended. it was kinda sad. and like AI, it seems like russ ain't trying to accept a bench role either.

There were attempts to control it early on in Oklahoma City. I remember sometimes Scott Brooks would publicly call out Russ making a bad decision or openly stat-padding. If you look at his game around 2011 and 2012 the shot selection wasn't as bad, the turnovers weren't as bad, the stat-padding wasn't nearly as blatant.

The problem was that the more accolades and fame he got, the more it went to his head and the harder it was for anyone to tell him what to do. And then when KD left they gave up, the "MVP" campaign happened and it completely went to shyt.

Imagine if they had traded him for CP3 in 2011 like the rumors had them doing....


On these boards I was on his ass HEAVY in 2016-17 for blatant stat-padding, terrible decisions, and not even trying on defense. And Coli posters just called me a hater. It took them years to see it too.

Chicago and picking the stupidest possible hills to die on, name a more iconic duo

He's only doing it because he doesn't want there to be an overwhelming narrative that Westbrook is to blame for the demise of this Lakers squad, because then that'll mean less blame for Bron. Westbrook could have a complete meltdown on the floor and directly sabotage the team like we've never seen, and the red font will somehow, someway spin it into it not being his fault.

He was doing this shyt last season too:

WESTBROOK IS HAVING
ONE OF THE BETTER SHOOTING
SEASONS OF HIS CAREER....


​

NAH IT JUST GETS
MORE SPOTLIGHT NOW
THAT HES WITH BRON
AND BRONS TEAMMATES ALWAYS
GOTTA CATCH BLAME WHEN
HIS TEAMS STRUGGLES.



​

Then he tries to play dumb acting like his shyt isn't transparent.

I get the comparison but this is totally different. Iverson never forgot how to play basketball. Not to mention he definitely had off the court issues and demons he was dealing with on top of his unwillingness to come off the bench.

With Westbrook, it’s literally like someone stole his talent like in Space Jam. He has no strengths on the court outside of some speed and a scowl. No other positive attributes, and worst of all, he acts completely oblivious to it.

Why does he show the next play i see what King James did the next time down court that was worst then what westbrook or anybody else did

WHY Is lebron taking 10'3s

 

[SCJoe]

Terry would be legit but why would the Horn….oh yeah, Mitch is over there.

you might be right. having more possessions in his hands on other teams may have masked the issues we're seeing in LA.

that said, his past fukkups were normal sabo stuff. taking a 2 for 1 at the end of the game when they're already winning is classic sabo. however, shooting off the side of the backboard and not being able to finish around the basket seems like it got worse. his head clearly isn't in it and he's getting beat up by fans and media. his teammates just seem to be placating him until he can be moved.

THIS IS WHAT I KEEP
TELLING nikkaS.

HE DOESNT HAVE THE LUXURY
OF DOMIMATING THE BALL
AND SHOOTING HIS WAY
OUT OF A TERRIBLE START.

HE CANT BE EFFICIENT AS
A LOW VOLUME PLAYER.

DUDE BEEN DOING ALL
THIS SAME shyt HIS WHOLE CAREER
BUT ITS GETTING HIGHLIGHTED IN LA.

nikkaS BEEN USING THAT
CARLTON BANKS GIF
SINCE THE KD YEARS.

ACT LIKE THIS nikkaS NAME
WASNT YOUNG SABOTAGE.

People been pushing that rozier narrative for nearly a year from my understanding Jordan really likes him. Obviously it could happen but I feel it's media driven and not in reality.
