Russell Westbrook career falling off so fast

[Cladyclad]

Once again, the Wizards have only lost 1 or at max 2 games because Beal shot poorly in the 4th. And one of those two games was the Philly game where they were ONLY in it because Beal put up 60 fukking points. So your point isn't true, the Wizards record has virtually nothing to do with Beal's 4th-quarter shooting.

Ok I’m certain u ain’t watch no wizards games lol

u just said the best player shooting pct don’t matter in close games lol

U got it

LeBron James is the greatest athlete in basketball history..you can't expect everyone to hold up like him..Wade, Melo..they all tumbled.

save your fukking breath

Russell is not washed athletically at all. The fascinating thing is it seems all his basketball skills have eroded. He still has his speed and quickness but he just can’t shoot all and plays like he’s mentally challenged

Odd thing for westbrook is his shooting keeps getting worse as he ages.

Dude needs to spend an offseason just shooting nothing but jumpers before he really is done.

yes x no ..the speed is there but the bounce isnt what it was which is expected

he still has hops ..but its on his timing ,and when he wants 2 ..

u kan tell the fact he has 2 think about when and how he uses it , is effectin his overrall game.and he ends up over thinkin or bein in 2 minds on plays , which in turn lead to a alot of bad shots
or bad turn overs and bad passes

the sad part is i also think he has heard alot of feedback , and while he acts like he dont hear it and for most part he probably blocks it out and drives his passion ..blood klearly is in his head Alot when on the court

alot of the shxt he used to do was instinct ..now russ is second guessin his bball IQ ..plus trustin his body .or playin it safe ..playin for stats , playin the right system.ball

he just needs 2 play

quads aint no joke and its probz a underrated injury if its reoccuring all the time ...

but i believe scott brooks has to be the sabo whisperer ..this is his role to grt west rook right mentally nget him trust himself and his abilities

and fo fks sake get in the gym this off szn and shoot some J's my own 10 yr old son is disappinted him and thats his fav pkayer ..or was thats his face when watcbin these games n tryin 2 defend this man

dad does he shoot in the off szn ..how kan he get worse every year ..his mid range pull up used 2 be $$$

im outta excuses

 

[kdslittlebro]

He never should’ve left OKC. He could’ve been their Kobe

 

[ROFL_GUY]

Most overrated player of the 2000s

Defenution of stat padding ..

 

[King Poetic]

Do u see that wizards lineup with Gill and Bonga

them nikkas scored 2 combined points in playing a total of 48 minutes

Wizards management is trash

 

[Bledswole]

Wasn't dude still relatively good before the season pause/bubble restart? Seems like the decline hit him at warp speed.

Nah he was good af right before the bubble,he was playing phenomenal

 

[feelosofer]

Eh. In year 13 those are still pretty respectable stats. Dude is still avg almost a triple double.

Something is wrong with breh physically. After that MVP year, his shooting (already not great) went to shyt immediately. That alone wasnt what made me think something is wrong but even his free throws fell dramatically. Pure speculation but I think something is plaguing him physically thats not typical and he just Russes his way through.

 

[who_better_than_me]

Russ is averaging 5 turnovers

Wall is averaging only 3

I'd rather keep Wall and see that athletic decline since atleast Wall is a pure PG

Did you watch the game tonight or wall all season. He was pure point guard in Washington . He ain’t one in Houston. Like I said if I wanted to see ISO’s I’d rather kept harden and let him have at ti. Wall and Dipo ISO’s can’t even be called the the price rite ISO’s in comparison to harden. Everybody think that iso-life is easy cuz they can ball, few are efficient with it like harden was. Wall and Dipo had me hating basketball last night

Yeah bruh has a quad injury and cant get to the rack but it's crazy how he can't do anything else when that's the case. I get mad when I see he's not a threat to shoot in such an obvious way he passes the ball. And I also get mad when he shoots it. He's really not skilled at all

 

[Blackrogue]

It's not 11 games. It's just 11 quarters. Just 88 minutes. It's like judging a player halfway through their 3rd game, way too little information to go on.

Two years ago Beal shot 52% in the 4th quarter and 40% from three over 70 games. Those are incredible numbers. Last year he shot 45% over 52 games, still decent. That suggests that the issue is simply a tiny sample size and not that he has some random new problem in the 4th (unless adding Russ means that Russ is hogging the rock in the 4th and not letting Beal get the ball in good spots). Do you really think, based on that 11 quarter sample size, that Beal in his 9th season suddenly became a 4th-quarter choker in some meaningless early regular season games?

I mean right now Jimmy Butler is shooting just 30% in the 4th and Kemba just 22% in the 4th, if you want to point out how silly small sample sizes can get you. On the other hand, Bam, Christian Wood, and Colin Sexton are all shooting over 60% in the fourth. All those numbers are going to regress to the middle eventually.

He's forgetting people key in on Beal because he's the only real threat.
