I have a theory ....


Players that act like Westbrook old school (scowl,perceived mean steak etc... I.E Kobe or Jordan like)


Are immune to criticism or heat ... it’s like


He shot 50 times in the game he playing hero ball ...


I know but look at that killer instinct scowl tho :lupe:
Theres just about nothing to critique about MJ and very little about Kobe. Fortunately for them their tunnel vision worked for the best. In Westbrook's sake he needs to play more under control and learn how to slow it down late in games

In his defense when he passed his teammates did often miss open shots in the playoffs. I say this as a Melo stan :snoop:

Melo should have considered playing in the big 3 league and Paul George basically let a cac cancel him out. Maybe that doesn't happen if Russ knew how to control the tempo and help get his teammates in rhythm. His turnovers and bad shots drain the energy out of the team. The Thunder players seemed stressed out alot, I don't know what's with all the soft cac coaches the Thunder hire

And per usual when talking Russ' ineptitude(relatively), it's always everybody else's fault. These threads always turn out the same, somehow, we can't ever fault Russ for nothing. Yall treat like a lil ass kid.

"Oh the Gatorade the waterboy was giving him was grape....Russ doesn't drink grape. Thunder need to put a new staff around Russ! :damn:"

PG and Melo's ineptitude for most of the season and especially during this series (considering their status as superstars) is what overshadowed the Westbrook expose' (read as ek-spoh-ze).

I followed the Thunder all last year and there was never a more frustrating team to watch, especially with how Russ and PG cooked the GSW once upon a time, so I already know how lethal they can be.

They have the talent to win it all without question, but they don't have the braintrust to really take that next step. People act like Westbrook is supposed to figure everything out (like people's expectations with LeBron), but disregarding the fact that he's been busy figuring out how to become a legit point guard (which he has over the past two years). Additionally, Westbrook's burning desire for revenge got tapped out last season, so now he's really going to have to be cerebral in his play.

I really hope PG plays up to snuff because then Westbrook can ease up on the gas and play some good ball. Him, Adams, and Westbrook are as good of a big three as there ever was.
10 or even 5 years ago this would be accurate.

Harden got more hate for losing to the Warriors than Russ did for losing to a rookie. :dead:

Naw Russ doing a fukking full court press on Ricky fukking Rubio is what folks remember :mjlol:



It’s crazy Russ gets no heat because he looks mean while he playing

It’s not hate

The loss just came and went and that wild :russ:

This ... and I fukks with Russ but the passes he gets from the media is getting ridiculous. 2 years ago he didn't have a solid team around him, last year was an experiment so this is the year I feel if he doesn't at least get the 3rd seed and/or get to the WCF they gonna hold him to the fire.
