Monitoring Russell Westbrook’s Clippers tenure…

[cavsfever]

It’s totally bizarre to me, that trade. As Q says, results were utterly predictable

Now they’re talking about trying to manage some kind of trade with Houston using John Walls contract

Russ seems rattled to me. He’s never taken this kind of sustained criticism/mockery. Missing both those two key foul shots at the end of the nationally televised Knicks game…that’s nerves

Russ is just washed up and was a horrendous fit next to LeBron from the get go. Horrible trade to begin with and it's playing out like every competent basketball brain in the world knew it would.

It would be like pairing up LeBron James with someone like Larry Hughes….

But wait….. There’s a part 3 !!!!!

I never saw a basketball reel with that type of music. It would make me retire

We are not even at the All Star break yet….He has played 55 games with the Lakers and we keep getting blessed with all this content…

There’s 3 or 4 of these in every game… Can’t get enough…

I really don't get it because he actually is a really good passer. He could open the game up with his passing, but it is like he refuses to.

There was a game last year against the Cavs he had 15 assists and he was unstoppable and didn't even score much.

I have never seen a player get seemingly worse BBIQ over their time, but he has seemingly internalized nothing from what has happened in games during his career. Has no idea when to pass or shoot or drive. It's baffling

Westbrooks game has fallen off a cliff. The videos of all the awful plays he has made this season reminds of when the Cavs got David Wesley and was touted as being a big help for Lebron then the next thing we know he had the infamous open layup get blocked by the bottom of the backboard. As his game also fell off a cliff that season. Weird.

I can hear Marv now. “And Wesley came up short”

Think that was against the Mavs in Dallas

Literally I just noticed you’re in a 10 point game with Shannon Brown, David Wesley, Eric Snow all out there with AV & Z…..

2010 couldn’t come fast enough for LeBron

It's like once his athleticism left him, so did his brain too.

Even in those clips, he's creating open shots at the rim for himself and all he has to do is dunk or lay it up softly. There's gotta be a crazy amount of overthinking and pressure going on for him to be this bad. I see a guy that could still contribute in a smaller role, but life is coming at him fast that he's not an MVP candidate or All-Star anymore and doesn't know how to adjust to that. Basically like Carmelo on the Thunder.

That layup didn't even look like it followed the laws of physics when I saw that as it happened. Like what is going on there to make it layup like that?
