Monitoring Russell Westbrook’s Clippers tenure…

[PIP]

Seriously this is like just 30+ games worth…. He is going to be amazing to watch piss LeBron off throughout the 2nd half of the season and if they make the playoffs…

Just can’t believe all this packed into such a small sample size…

Ok...he's doing this on purpose, right? Right??

Can't wait til LeBron goes into full pout mode.

Then Melo wants to pad his stats too.

And then l want to see the camera pan to the owners box of Worthy, Cooper, Magic, Kareem, Rambis, etc. watching this version of SHOWTIME

On the basic box score stats this isn’t really an atypical season for Westbrook, poor shooting and lots of turnovers are par for the course for him and statistically this season doesn’t stand out. What does stand out is that his on/off +/- is the worst it’s ever been at -4.7. That’s coming almost all on the defensive end as opposing teams score significantly better when he’s on court. He was never a good defensive player but I don’t remember him being as bad as he is this year.

Inexplicable why GM Lebron would sabotage himself by giving away just about all the youth, energy, and defensive role player talent on the team to saddle them with Westbrook. Kind of poetic justice given all the meddling he has done over the years on the personnel side.

That’s some serious Brandon Weeden shit. Someone did a compare of Kevin Garnett and Evan Mobley which was amazing. Russell Westbrook and Brandon Weeden comparison would be hilarious.

I’m sorry but this is where I’m in no way, shape or form impressed with any of these numbers that were put up by Westbrook, Harden or even LeBron now…. The numbers are so inflated it’s disgusting…

Like this dude averaged a triple double for 4 seasons and I could not think of a more overrated accomplishment given who did it….And yet all it did was encourage this guy to not change his game and destroy every team he’s been on since…

I can’t even stand to call this guy a Bruin….

I used to not be able to stand Allen Iverson’s game cause it meshed with nobody….. But this dude takes the cake…

It’s completely underrated how overrated AI was. Definition of a high volume chucker, was an awful defender. But hey he had nice highlights, braids and a cool “slug” life attitude!

9 turnovers for Russ yesterday, but the Lakers at home manage to (barely) survive the Wolves without KAT or Russell

 

[BigZ94]

This man is delusional, who could possibly be a fan of a player like this

“Making the right reads”

Running that 3 on 2 fast break with Bron & Avery Bradley….

Triple doubles have meant nothing to me since he made it his only goal on the court to average a triple double. Reading the stories about how the team was purposely inflating his stats was gross.

His game totally stinks.

He took the Sixers to the NBA Finals with not much around him. He wasn't an awful defender either. Four time first team NBA and a lock for the HoF.

Well he was the primary scorer for a team that went to the Finals….But that’s about it….

That 01 playoff run and that crossover on Jordan is what his playing legacy is…

Mutumbo coming over to me is what really got them over the hump, not Iverson… That team was elite defensively…

They only won 50 games once his entire time with the 76ers. Only made it past the semi’s once when he was a 76er…. The Nuggets became contenders when they traded him for Billups in fact…

Iverson was a fantastic high volume scorer…. But he is ultimately what held Philly back all those years cause he could not adjust his game at all….

Westbrook so easy to root against.

Could never get on board with Iverson. Basketball suuuuuucked during that stretch he was getting hype with Philly.

The game is so much better now. Need them to get the phantom Harden fouls under control but the game itself and the depth of superstars, stars and even mid-range talent is butta. So many great players in the league with a wide range of skillsets, but almost everyone can shoot.

The level of talent and the way the game is played on some of the best teams is beautiful, very aesthetically pleasing. Cavs are a good case-study.
