Russell Westbrick Discussion: Clipper Gonna Clip

Boy this really brings me back: solid gold brick clip:

HERE

 

There you have it, the Russell Westbrook experience.

 

Brick hits a few wide-open 3s, runs back, talking, "Ya better guard me!"

But then he bricks 2 FTs, shoots an airball, then his 3 misses the rim and only hits the backboard, etc: when he misses, it's often off-the-charts putrid. Just a horrible shot. As if, long ago, some malevolent wizard told him, "If you're going to miss, miss real bad. Like miss so badly a lot of people will think you were passing to a teammate and it went awry. Or you were trying to hit only the backboard, hoping Joker/Gordon/Porter Jr would get the board and put it in."

Why he would listen to some bad advice demon is anyone's guess. (I suspect he gets the yips sometimes as he's getting ready to shoot.)

I've never seen misses so hellaciously bad. What the actual F with this guy?

Anyway, glad we don't have to deal with him. The Brick Experience, indeed.

 

Smarter than he looks as a fat white guy

 

it's funny; he had a good day from three by his standards, but we still (wisely) refused to guard him. and you can tell it just burned him up.

and for all the talk about how great a fit he is there (and it is a good fit for him), they still don't want to put him out there in crunch time if they can avoid it.

 

Do it Russ!
