Free from LeBron’s shackles, Westbrook thrives with another near 30pt triple double

Stat padding FTL??

U mad?

It was a 4 point game within 5:10 left. Russ only scores 2 pts in the last 5 minutes.

Pretending he was stat padding is the type of low IQ nonsense I would expect from a bronie.

Pretending WB isn't washed up is sad considering you desperately wanted him off your team when he was a Wizard

Lol wut? He was literally our MVP over the second half of the season, a fan favorite. He carried us into the playoffs.

U must have spent too much time sniffing glue. It's causing hallucinations.

Westbrook thrives in an environment, where there is no criticism of him. And everyone embraces him. And let him play through his mistakes.

Playing next to Lebron & Lakers fans, he couldn't handle the pressure. This is a franchise that had Kobe, Magic, Shaq, Kareem, West, and Lebron. The demand and expectations are high.
Westbrook was destroyed mentally and psychologically with the Lakers.

You complained about him a lot, but keep pretending otherwise. I like how you leave out him being the worst player in the league the first half of the season

Keep making stuff up. I didn't talk much about him here. If you have any quotes feel free to share. I won't hold my breath.

I talked about him a lot more on a wizards forum. People here aren't that interested in the wizards. Understandably

I did evaluate his games differently from other players. I would add his missed shots and turnovers together. If they were below a certain number it was a good game. I don't remember what the specific number was, maybe 12.

Russ does take bad shots and make bad turnovers, but sometimes those negative plays can overshadow all the positive plays he makes.

From 2021

Wizards fans have been pretty impressed by Russ actually. Yes he makes dumb turnovers and takes too many jumpers but his intensity has a bigger impact than I realized.

Last night was a good example. Beal went out with an injury Russ carried us the rest of the way for the W.

Over the last 19 games we are 15-4. Three of the losses are by a combined 5 points against the Mavs, bucks, and Spurs.

I have a Wall jersey BTW.

Westbrook since he has been healthy is better than any version of Wall. Any Wizards fan will tell you that. Wall had the same problem of taking too many jumpers, shooting poorly and turning it over. But he didn't have the relentless effort every night that Russ has even now.

Russ had a quad injury early in the season that he was trying to play through. Once he got over that he looks like a different player. Wizards fans don't miss Wall at all.

Great loss by the Clippers! Amazing game!

So Westbrick's numbers don't count because his team(down 2 of their best players btw) is losing to a KD superteam. Did you say the same thing about Bran in 2015, 2017 & 2018, or did you praise him for putting up numbers in losses?

[Keno]

westbrook is playing surprisingly well, didn't think he would've went on this run. but then again, this is what happens when there's no pressure on him to perform or championship expectations.

[dazzer87]

No more Lebron Ball……..

[Manny98]

Westbrook is one of the most disrespected and underappreciated players ever

Yes he can make some questionable decisions in the clutch and his jump shot is medicore but he's the most psychically gifted point guard the league has ever seen and has put up some Wilt like statlines in the modern era

PG,Kawhi,Durant,Beal and even LeBron have all has their best scoring seasons playing with Russ and barley gets any credit for it

Isn't a flopping shit like CP3 either he gives 110% night in and night out and leaves it all on the floor


Respect to Russ
