Russell "MVP" Westbrook gets outplayed by Patrick Beverley on both ends
- Thread starter CantStop
- Start date
Roberson shot the ball really well from deep tonight...
In the firsy half. He hit one more in the 2nd half and scared to pull the trigger after that.
Come on, he sucks at shooting in the playoffs every year. Even back when he was surrounded by Durant/Harden/Ibaka/Seflosha, he still was shooting crap percentages in the playoffs.
Not disagreeing but dont act like the rest of those guys on the perimeter are world beaters.
They should really explore slowing the game down and banging them down in the paint with Adams, Kanter, and Taj.

WB has been to multiple WCFs and the Finals. Only a few players on a few teams can make the same claim.That "now I do what I want" basketball ain't gonna get y'all man where y'all want him in the playoffs
And he was still left open on every attempt
What a dumb response.
"No shooters to take the pressure off Westbrook" "Well Roberson was left open on all his attempts tonight so they could focus on Westbrook instead".

teams did that last year. difference was that they had to cover Durant as well. not anymore... not anymore
But they WERE world-beaters just a few years ago. And Westbrook still couldn't shoot worth shyt.
2011 with Durant/Harden/Ibaka/Sefolosha: Has 7-18, 6-15, 12-30, 3-15, 9-23, 7-22, 4-12, 3-15, 8-20, and 11-28 games on the way to 39% shooting for the playoffs.
2012 with Durant/Harden/Ibaka/Sefolosha: Has 3-12, 5-17, 7-18, 7-21, 5-15, 2-10, 9-24, 10-26, and 4-20 games on the way to 43.5% shooting for the playoffs.
2013 with Durant/Ibaka/Sefolosha/Kevin Martin/Reggie Jackson: Goes 10-26 in 2nd playoff game and then gets hurt
2014 with Durant/Ibaka/Sefoslosha/Reggie Jackson: Has 11-28, 9-26, 6-24, 10-31, 4-15, 7-24, and 8-23 games on the way to 42% shooting for the playoffs.
2015: Durant misses too many games and they miss the playoffs
2016 with Durant/Ibaka/Waiters: Has 8-22, 7-19, 5-19, 10-31, 5-18, 7-21, 5-14, 11-28, 10-27, and 7-21 games on the way to 40.5% shooting for the playoffs.
Russell has playoff games like this EVERY year, no matter how stacked his teammates were. Even when he was surrounded by some of the most efficient, talented guys in the league, whether his team was stacked with shooters (2011-2014) or stacked in the low court (2015-2017), he's always been right around 40% shooting and always had games where he was tossing up 20-30 shots even though he only made a third of them.
He's never been the best player on the team while doing it though. Mario Chalmers and Derek Fisher have been to a lot more Finals than Westbrook, so that fact alone doesn't say much.
When people look back on that Thunder team, and see that they had Durant/Westbrook/Ibaka for SEVEN YEARS, plus had Harden for three of those years and a supporting cast including solid NBA players like Jeff Green, Kendrick Perkins, Derek Fisher, Nick Collison, Thabo Sefolosha, Steven Adams, Enes Kanter, Kevin Martin, Reggie Jackson, etc. for a lot of those years as well, the main thought isn't going to be how successful Westbrook was making it to multiple WCFs. It's going to be how they hell they underperformed like they did.

but is he a pimp like russ?
Anybody who dress like this, wears number 0, and plays out of control does not warrant respect
That's why Beverly locked him up
