The truth is, in the same year, two unrelated teams that are built WILDLY different benched Russ for the 4th quarter of an important game.
The difference is, Ty Lue is smarter than Ham, so it only took him 2 games to bench Russ in the 4th.
This nikka
They lost by the
same amount of points Russ caused the Nuggets to go on a run for. If Denver didn't get that run, they don't WIN by 10, stupid. Points are points, and they matter at the end of a game.
You're clearly new to sports. If a kicker misses a field goal in the 3rd quarter, and the team loses by 2, the kicker gets the blame. That's how it works. You put your team in a bad spot that they have to fight out of, it is YOUR FAULT.
You're also neglecting the point about momentum, because you're a box score watcher. Russ killed the team's momentum with that series. In the 3 minutes before Russ fouled Porter, the Clippers were on a run that saw them bring a 10 point lead to a 4 point game.
Russ fouls Porter, Porter makes the three, makes a free throw, and then Murray hits a two (a six point run that takes the lead BACK to 10).
Couple plays later, Jokic goes to the line, cashes both. Lead is 12 now, when it was 4 before the Russ bungle.
You don't watch basketball, that much is obvious. Russ stans look at the box score, and go "oh that was a good game". You moron, you literally tagged us in a thread after a game Russ had 7 TOs and the defensive lapse that sent the Kings game into overtime.
You clearly don't even watch the nikka you Stan. Female behavior.
Wrong. Ty benched a STARTER for 17 minutes to "tinker"? Do you hear yourself???
The fact that you think that makes sense says everything about your game knowledge.
He couldn't get minutes in an important Western Conference matchup that went to OT, because Ty is trying to "tinker"?
No, he gets benched because he's unplayable in the fourth and for shyt like this:
Apparently, we just making shyt up about Westrbook, according to his stans, so let's just show him in action to assuage all doubt, shall we?
