Russell Westbrick Discussion: Clipper Gonna Clip

I like this!!!!

 

I like you liking this.

 

Russ starting or coming off the bench doesn’t really matter. It’s the crunch time minutes that are the issue.

When teams put a C on him that just ignores his shooting and sags off to the paint - it’s just a disaster. Russ as is, is basically unrecognisable from the player he was even at Washington a season and a few months ago. Let alone OKC Russ.

 

Oh it does matter. S***ty starts are a thing TOO. The less of him the better.

 

Oh we need this win bad

 

At this point it feels like Russ is just trolling Lebron

 

feel like washington was a mirage of sorts. or being more generous, it's the upside of what i imagine him as a 25mpg bench player could be.

at least we're now starting the progression. try the bench role (which involves not closing games--just playing the middle 12s of the halves). if he sucks or pouts, he's out for good.

 

Bust a Quinn Cook and forget him at the stadium

 

Goddamn it, we had to win it.
Many things weren't good, but my top 3 are:
- we won't win many games if LeBron scores 19
- we won't win many games if AD is hobbled, he was basically non-existent in the 2nd half, albeit the great effort and respectable statline
- we have to outscore teams on fast breaks by a wide margin every game

This team still competes every game and are still learning the system, but it's going to be a long season. We need several guys to step up

eh, he might have helped in this one, or he might have made it a 20 point loss instead of 10.

i do know he single-handedly lost the portland game, which was really our only probable win in the first 7 games.

 

I’m still flabbergasted that Lebron being the basketball savant that he is thought that replacing KCP, Kuz and Trezz with Westbrook was a good idea. Even more angry at Rob and AD for being beta males and co-signing on that foolishness. It’s like they didn’t experience how they successfully defended Russ in the bubble.
