Oh Bron definitely gassed him on that front

I’m just saying Russ ain’t did shyt special but be a decent reserve off the bench for the nuggets and fill in when cats got hurt…Denver’s currently in the play-in and assuming they make it to a playoff series, Russ is gonna get exploited and do inexplicable shyt like he’s done for years in the playoffs..:and Jokic fanatics in the media will bury Russ with blame just like they did when he was a Laker, and a Clipper




Jokic glazers already blaming Russ for Joker getting neutered by ALEX CARUSO in game 7 :mjlol:


This Russ/Joker buddy cop movie is officially over

SMF and LAX to VA and NC
All that trolling OP did just for him to combust in the playoffs and be unemployed.
This is the Carmelo ending for Westbrook and its sad. He was legit an elite player for a long time, but he's gonna be forced to retire. They say the Kings will sign him, which is such a Kings thing to do. But he has no other real suitors, the NBA is gonna force-retire him.

First of all, just because Russ and Jokic played well together doesn't mean all the credit goes to the latter. It was so cringe watching Jokic fans make it seem like he was bringing something out of Russ that has never been there, it was legit insane some of the takes. Russ played well in Denver but he's played about at that level since he left the Lakers.

Secondly, the man was already being tasked with carrying more responsibility than anybody ever on a minimum salary in like a 6-7 man rotation with abrupt coaching changes, injuries to half of the serviceable guys including himself with TWO breaks in his hand... Keep in mind JOKIC DROPPED ABOUT 3 GAMES BY HIMSELF before we even get to Russ toughing it out and trying to contribute with an impactful injury.

His play in those last couple of games AFTER he was a huge catalyst for even getting them past the first round was due to his injuries. And when you point it up people go, well he shouldn't have played if he was hurt then!

:skip:

Once the narrative is set, ain't shyt you can do to change people's perception of you. I rue the day he played Le-Roid James.

Russ should play the good teammate/mentor role on teams because the rookies and younger players love his energy and positivity.

Guy’s been on like 7 teams since 2019 and made it out the first round for the first time in a decade this season, but yes it’s Lebron’s fault Russ hasn’t contributed to winning since he was hitting the folks with Cam Payne.
