Jazz at Wizards

Conley out.

Neto questionable. Another guy I loved that Snyder and probably Callystar didn't

You tend to like scrubs. Besides Rudy I mean.

I miss prime WB badly. 11-17 Brook was flames.

Primebrook takes almost any team to the playoffs if he plays all the games.

A hot first quarter for dc

WB in his prime on this Wizards team would be fun.

Westbrook is most athletic player in NBA history

I think we need to reconsider how we define athleticism.

What makes Westbrook special are his reflexes and body control. You don’t really get to run two steps in a straight line and swat at a bunch of sticks on a pole with your fingertips, which is how max vertical leaps are measured in testing. You’re often driving at an angle, dribbling a basketball with guys swarming around you trying to poke it away, contorting your body to avoid a defender (and maybe they still get a piece of you anyway). You don’t always get to choose to jump off of your dominant leg, or finish with your dominant hand. You may have to decelerate, change direction, and then re-accelerate before attempting to finish.

Westbrook can do all of that and still generate a remarkable amount of controlled power. Some athletes can generate a greater amount of maximal force in a clean, controlled testing environment, but can’t control all of it in the same way during unpredictable, messy in-game action - so it’s of little use. That’s why Russell Westbrook can go out on the court and prove himself to be a better athlete than other guys who may have a slightly better workout.

Jazz should put the best perimeter defender in the league on him!

[LoneyROY7]

Jazz getting smacked early, but Washington will almost assuredly give it all back.

Utah getting destroyed without their best player Conley

No surprise

It’s COTM’s fault for not putting Rudy on WB!

[LoneyROY7]
