Free from LeBron’s shackles, Westbrook thrives with another near 30pt triple double

[BallsOut]

When LeBron had Westbrook and 3 superstars on his team, he missed the playoffs last season and was on the verge of missing it again this season with Westbrook.

We see what Westbrook is truly capable of now once freed from LeBron’s selfish ballhogging.

Shades of MVP Westbrook come to light. Funny what the positives of leaving Lebron ball does to a player’s game and career.

Interesting. Did his team win game 3 earlier? I must've missed it.

when fully healthy westbrook is a fourth option on the clippers behind a guy named norman. nothing else you type matters.

The last two games he's putting up 30/8/6 on surprisingly great shooting. The Lakers were just a terrible fit for him I guess.

With Kawhi and PG both playing the Clippers won't be a good fit either. He's better as the focal point and can't really be effective as anything else.

Either way, it's clear he's taking this matchup personally and is playing with more energy than even he normally comes out with. Certainly worth respect.

[ArbitraryWater]

another?



Whats the other?

[Indian guy]

Clippers are a stellar 12-12 with WB this season. 32-26 without him.

Why? Neither George nor Kawhi need to dominate the ball and both are serious threats as shooters & cutters without the ball and they seem to have good chemistry with Russ.

Clippers have SPACING, something the Lakers really lacked around Russ. Him & Bran actually did fit quite well when AD wasn't on the court and that's because of SPACING.

Yes, let's not look at the injuries post-trade nor the schedule lol.

That coincides with Paul George getting hurt so you're being disingenuous. Just another context less win loss record provided.

[1987_Lakers]

Westbrook is a great floor raiser, but not the ideal 2nd, 3rd option.

[BallsOut]

Westbrook unleashed

[Axe]

Interesting. Did his team win game 4 this time?

[WhiteKyrie]

LeBron can’t play with a wild and reckless, retarded basketball Forrest Gump. Especially at a similar position. He needs smart, surgical precision skilled players. Westbrick ain’t that and either is LeBron.

[warriorfan]

amazing what it does for a player when he doesn’t have to play with an uncoachable ball dominator who refuses any off ball play or defense for any legitament stretches at a time who’s main focus is accruing statistics.

Stat padding FTL??

Stat padding FTL??


U mad? :lol

It was a 4 point game within 5:10 left. Russ only scores 2 pts in the last 5 minutes.

Pretending he was stat padding is the type of low IQ nonsense I would expect from a bronie.

Pretending WB isn't washed up is sad considering you desperately wanted him off your team when he was a Wizard

Lol wut? He was literally our MVP over the second half of the season, a fan favorite. He carried us into the playoffs.

U must have spent too much time sniffing glue. It's causing hallucinations.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Westbrook thrives in an environment, where there is no criticism of him. And everyone embraces him. And let him play through his mistakes.

Playing next to Lebron & Lakers fans, he couldn't handle the pressure. This is a franchise that had Kobe, Magic, Shaq, Kareem, West, and Lebron. The demand and expectations are high.
Westbrook was destroyed mentally and psychologically with the Lakers.

You complained about him a lot, but keep pretending otherwise. I like how you leave out him being the worst player in the league the first half of the season :lol

Keep making stuff up. I didn't talk much about him here. If you have any quotes feel free to share. I won't hold my breath. :oldlol:

I talked about him a lot more on a wizards forum. People here aren't that interested in the wizards. Understandably

I did evaluate his games differently from other players. I would add his missed shots and turnovers together. If they were below a certain number it was a good game. I don't remember what the specific number was, maybe 12.

Russ does take bad shots and make bad turnovers, but sometimes those negative plays can overshadow all the positive plays he makes.

[tontoz]

From 2021


Wizards fans have been pretty impressed by Russ actually. Yes he makes dumb turnovers and takes too many jumpers but his intensity has a bigger impact than I realized.

Last night was a good example. Beal went out with an injury Russ carried us the rest of the way for the W.

Over the last 19 games we are 15-4. Three of the losses are by a combined 5 points against the Mavs, bucks, and Spurs.

:pimp:


I have a Wall jersey BTW.

Westbrook since he has been healthy is better than any version of Wall. Any Wizards fan will tell you that. Wall had the same problem of taking too many jumpers, shooting poorly and turning it over. But he didn't have the relentless effort every night that Russ has even now.

Russ had a quad injury early in the season that he was trying to play through. Once he got over that he looks like a different player. Wizards fans don't miss Wall at all.

Great loss by the Clippers! Amazing game!

[ImKobe]

Great loss by the Clippers! Amazing game!

So Westbrick's numbers don't count because his team(down 2 of their best players btw) is losing to a KD superteam. Did you say the same thing about Bran in 2015, 2017 & 2018, or did you praise him for putting up numbers in losses?

[Keno]

westbrook is playing surprisingly well, didn't think he would've went on this run. but then again, this is what happens when there's no pressure on him to perform or championship expectations.

[dazzer87]

No more Lebron Ball……..:pimp:

[Manny98]

Westbrook is one of the most disrespected and underappreciated players ever

Yes he can make some questionable decisions in the clutch and his jump shot is medicore but he's the most psychically gifted point guard the league has ever seen and has put up some Wilt like statlines in the modern era

PG,Kawhi,Durant,Beal and even LeBron have all has their best scoring seasons playing with Russ and barley gets any credit for it

Isn't a flopping shit like CP3 either he gives 110% night in and night out and leaves it all on the floor


Respect to Russ :cheers:

[BarberSchool]

Westbrick’s favorite thing : getting hella stats in a close loss, with him as the primary ball handler, and driving/going for loose balls at full sprint, so the loss can’t be pinned on anything he did, cause “he played hard”

Most overrated MVP of all time, even more so than Derrick Rose.

Sounds like ja morant also, except the latter prick does way more stupid flashy dunks often. :lol

[imdaman99]

So Westbrick's numbers

When are you Westbrook haters gonna get his name right? If you can't come up with something creative, don't repeat crap said by some scrub that averaged 2pts a game at junior college :facepalm

more than likely a random on the net came up with westbrick and someone with a voice on tv saw it and repeated it.
