I watched every game, what game did he sabotage ?

didn't "sabo" any game in particular this year but he did do some sabo in terms of how he led the team. Didn't pace games well, looked for his own shot in a lot of cases where he had the pass, etc.

KD utilized his teammates better than Russ did when he was dolo. Russ even had a better supporting cast than MVP KD, and lost to worse teams

This is disingenuous and straight up buffonery posting. Kd had a better roster and not to mention a starting caliber replacement in Reggie Jackson. Westbrook played with Damn near 20 different lineups due to injuries and multiple mid seasons trades.

Most of the injuries were already over with after the all-star break minus Steven Adams, Serge (who got injured REALLY late into the season) and KD, obviously.

The Thunder IMPROVED after trading Reggie Jackson when they had McGary, Kanter and Ibaka/Adams all in a 3 big rotation along with Augustin, who's no slouch either. Russ also had the benefit of Morrow who is a hell of shooter, as opposed to Sefolosha/Roberson. We're not even gonna talk about Waiters' bytch ass tho.

Late in the season, Russ lost a lot of games that he should have won because of his poor pacing, more than anything. He didn't manage the games the way they need to be managed, if you're running up the court and shooting as fast as humanly possible, it leads to fast breaks on the other side of the ball, and it makes it harder to maintain leads.

Better ? Better where we had the 2ND worst defense in the league after all star break, nikka you have no clue what you're talking about. And Kanter and ibaka barely played together what are you talking about :dahell: nikka are you drunk? We lost a lot of games late in the season because we were forced to start two centers , and missing two major starters.

Maybe the defensive numbers dropped because Russ is going out there and putting up shots 7 seconds into the shot clock. :yeshrug:

And I actually meant to put Ibaka/Kanter in that slash but it's no biggie. Either way I still remain solid behind my opinion that Thunder supporting cast for Russ was better than KD's MVP season. I will say that some games were thrown away in games even when KD played, like when Oladipo hit a game winner, and AD's game winner which ultimately led to you being thrown out of the playoffs...but Russ' style as #1 option still lost you some games. We'll end it there, you can stay mad. :youngsabo:
