So I guess Westbrook wasn’t really that washed….

The media narrative that started in LA makes it convenient when all of these teams, Lakers included again had glaring issues that had nothing to do with Russ.

Lakers: Neither Bron or AD could stay on the fukking court, they traded their depth for Russ seemingly as a stop gap to have someone out there when the other two were hurt, I forget the exact number of games they actually all shared a court but I'm pretty sure it was less than half his tenure there. And half the time they did the coaches had him spotting up.

Clippers: Health issues again, redundant trades that shored up no weaknesses and traded away defense and SHOOTING, everything they could have used to make a decent playoff run was given up for honeybun.

Nuggets:



Booth at the deadline, when Russ was actually having a decent stretch and being applauded as apart of one of the best tandems in the league between he and Jokic saying out his own mouth that the team outside of the "7 starters" is a problem.

I'd agree with your scapegoat take about Malone if they hadn't already been trying to fire him before Russ got there til he extended his grace with a chip, but people are literally saying is Russ the reason he got fired, that is the text book definition of being used as a scapegoat.

Russ stans kill me

Russ stans kill me

Mhm

- AD and Bron were barely available during his tenure
- PG and Kawhi, who was playing at the 4 when he was available after the Harden trade, were barely available.
- Malone was on the hot seat BEFORE the championship and they barely have a 7 man rotation according to the GM.

I point that up in response to "Russ got Malone fired! he's a coach killer!" and I'm somehow being unreasonable.

The funniest thing is them acting like trading for Harden was a mistake like dude hasn't been an all-star leading the Clippers to the playoffs in a season Kawhi has barely played in.



But no, they should have prioritized this

Batum and Roco got inconsistent minutes. Point is you traded them for Honeybun only to have Kawhi playing the 4 and Russ spotting up



They gave up the shyt they already needed more of. It was games where Russ was putting up better numbers off the bench in less minutes and he was the only one out there still fighting by the time the playoffs came around.

It was the right move to make. Russ thinks he can carry a team still but he can't.

Oh, and I almost forgot! Did you really just say ‘Lost on a Dame shot from damn near half court’

Ngga….thats YOUR MAN

Thats YOUR matchup. Talkin bout some ‘don’t know shyt’. I’ll tell you what I do know: ‘I been bustin your ass for a long time!’. Russ was talkin cash shyt to Dame all season and dame got it back in blood That shot was just as much on Russ head as it was PG. If you a hooper you know that. Ended that man’s stability in the league he been on 5 teams in 5 years since fukk outta here

Did he shoot it over Russ or not?

Was it from near half court or not?

It was a bad shot. Dame hits it for the theatrics. He literally makes that shot on anyone else in NBA history because it's a bad shot.

Now try again...

Oh we can disagree but don’t call me a liar brother. I absolutely did.

6 season, 5 teams, 4 coaches fired, 4 first round exits. Would you like more numbers?



Maybe pictures too?
