Russell Westbrick Discussion: Clipper Gonna Clip

Vintage Russ dunk, at least he had 1 as a Laker

 

Unless you count acting like a punk / idiot and getting a T because he finished a dunk and didn’t bounce it off the back of the rim. (directed at him not you ).

 

Ah I'd let this one slide. WB's literally been missing everything at the rim and he turns back the clock for this. Literally thought he couldn't do this anymore. He took off from the bottom of the circle and just crushed a 3x DPOY, gotta love it LT

 

that explosion happened in literally 2 steps. Pretty impressive for a guy that they say is dagger to kidney cooked.

 

It was good to see him finishing at the rim. Hopefully he’s broken that slump and will be able to continue to do that.

It was also good to see Vogel limit his minutes in the fourth. Russ responded with with a nice (even though ill advised) 3 point play and some free throws. Most importantly no big mistakes that swung the game.

 

didn't see the game, but saw the highlight dunk this morning and the 28 minutes and was pleased.

 

it's fool gold: trade him as soon as you can. That second half was typical Russ: bad shot selection and getting lost on defense. His "big" score was so stupid as well. With just 40 seconds to go and a 2 possession lead he decides to charge into the lane with a nearly full shot clock. It worked out well for him but if he bricks its, a 5 on 4 the other way to make it a one possession game with enough time they don't have to foul.

The game was won with Lebron/Monk plus 3 defenders route and Russ was net neutral (which is better then net negative he has been)

 

I wanted Russ here and have been a bit disappointed. I've decided to stop being so negative with him. Maybe some positive vibes will help. It is going to be a great story when he figures this all out and leads us to a championship.

 

^^^ the cold is getting to you … get inside quick!

 

Isn’t that an offensive foul with Russ’s left arm helping him on the way up and holding Gobert down?

 

It looks like it in slo-mo but in real time, it didn't look like he used to gain advantage. So fast that he got there before Gobert could react

 

i saw the picture first and thought offensive foul, but the live action video changed my mind. gobert was late and initiated the contact, and russ didn't really gain an advantage from the arm grab. it was bizarro harden.

 

“Bizarro Harden”

 

Sshhhh....

 

I would trade him for Wall in a heartbeat: maybe Wall would play defense.

 

Not surprised. Left the game early too. Didn't want to discuss not playing or Vogel's job status.

 

Hahahahahaha!

Disaster of a trade.
