Russell Westbrick Discussion: Clipper Gonna Clip

Good in OT. The side PnR helped him out. Doubt when teams it will adjust it will be any different then the second half where he was meh before OT.


Still hopes he's traded

 

Yeah, good in OT. Bad throughout regulation. No business being out there in 4th Q clutch minutes. No defense takes him seriously. If Ham is going to keep this up, it only intensifies the need for a shooter out there to give Bron and AD some room to operate.

 

The Knicks have a better record than 8 of the next 9 teams we play.

 

1. There absolutely NO REASON for Westbrook to be on the floor when both Bron and AD are
2. He never should play after the 1st 5 minutes of the 4th QT

 

Who thinks we are going to make the play-in ?

 

Play in? Pssssh .... championship baby! @Toklat is your huckleberry. Then again it's usually -35 degrees where he lives and that's got to take a toll over the years. B. Ball on ice skates, Grizzlies to be watched out for and don't look them in the eye if you see a moose from 80 yards away. Plus the guy is still crazy enough to be coaching the game.

 

Yup - pretty much what everyone else said. Russ plays well 1 out of 6 games now.

Please trade him if you're seirous about winning, Lakers.

 

It's sad that that is the case. You have a 6 or 7 point lead and Russ has the ball in his hands Lakers possession with under 2 minutes left and all that's needed is to eat up the clock and play smart and get a "good shot" off, and you'd feel better about it if it were anyone else but him that had the ball in their hands at that point ..... too often. Because too often we've seen his bad decisions in crunch time.

 

Realistically Russ averages about 1 in 2 good games but that is not good enough by a long shot. My scouting report on Russ is, he brings some good assisting, boards well for a guard, is subpar on offense and is an outright bad shooter at the worst times. So many iso fastbreaks just wasted with the ball disappearing into thin air. Watching defenses just leave him alone and collapse on the rim is a major irritant as well.

 

Championship Baby!! is right... we are going for it...lol.

 

Hate to do this after Russ had a solid game, but imagine if he were more like 22 year old Tyrese Haliburton.

20 pts on 61.3% TS, efficient from all areas of the floor
40% on 7.4 3PA
An absurd 10.2 assists on 2.6 TOs

You look out over the league and see these PGs whose games are tailormade for this era, and then there's Russ.

 

I could name all of them. I would literally take anyone else, as long as they promised to never ever play off ball defense like Russ.

 

f***ing trade him now. Even if you get nothing back this team would be so much better without him.

Dumbest "star" I've ever seen. Ham can't help himself to play him so get rid of him. There is a good even great team here but not with an anchor the size.of Russtanic on it
