Russell Westbrook career falling off so fast

[Flex Luger]

 

[Rigby.]

Eh, looked like a legit solid starter last year when they aint let him shoot and he was doing more things off the ball in terms of slashing and mid ranges.

D'Antoni really did a hell of a job scheming around that dude's strengths

You hate to see it

Harden made all those dudes that was suppose to "help" look so much better

Wasn't dude still relatively good before the season pause/bubble restart? Seems like the decline hit him at warp speed.

Harden made all those dudes that was suppose to "help" look so much better

Teams were really letting Westbrook attack a defense with a 4 vs 3 advantage just to let anybody else but Harden beat them

Odd thing for westbrook is his shooting keeps getting worse as he ages.

Dude needs to spend an offseason just shooting nothing but jumpers before he really is done.

his Iverson Memphis stage


He still has great speed and passing where he could be a contributing player and age gracefully but I dont think he wants to

I wouldnt say all that lol. Russ was hard carrying them early in that season when Harden was dog shyt.

I think the Lakers forcing him to shoot and him taking the bait directly helped them lose in the offs, but without a doubt that super small ball req'd him doing his thing, esp with the second unit

damn i want westbrook to succeed.. is he an upgrade to any team?

 

[Jerz]

And the Wizards gon be paying him 47 mill - 2 yrs now

His handles are the biggest issues. Dude be fumbling and losing control of the ball a lot. It’s understated. He did some good things tonight. He plays for a bad team with no supporting cast. Put him in a good situation and he can a contributor. Beal is a scorer but he don’t elevate his teammates like harden Lebron and Durant.

He was just a good sidekick last year putting up career numbers. He plays for a bad team. The spacing for the wizards is bad and the floor personnel isn’t cohesive
