I am rooting for him so hard to have a bounce back season after all the slander he’s taken the past few seasons felt really nice to see him play his game with a roster that can help him thrive with his skillset, to a season of health for the Clippers!

Are we going to do this again? They played the Blazers, possibly 29th or 30th team in the league.

Enough for the most in the league for assists. Wouldn't be shocked if he finishes first there at the end of the season too

Kinda rough first game for Scoot

Dudes only getting paid 4 mil a year what a steal

Russ is playing fantastic basketball. Always gonna get a few silly turnovers but he is really playing within himself, dynamite in transition, excellent in the post as a creator and in finishing at the rim. Still so dynamic getting downhill. Gonna make for many open shots for his teammates, namely PG and Kawhi. Strong defensively as well, he's looking sharp and comfortable.

I mean it was the Blazers. Watch Ben Simmons do the exact same shit.

That would be cool, also.

I really really really REALLY liked how westbrook played today, assertive but not overly aggressive that it's a detriment to his team, he looks like he's buying in to the clippers system and I like how ty is giving him the freedom to play his game within the offense.

Bones hyland deserves some love too the energy he brought off the bench was infectious, him hitting a 3 and jumping for joy made me lose it.

First time on the Russell Westbrook rollercoaster? Keep that same energy for the triple single games with crucial 4th quarter turnovers

Where are those people saying Russ will never change? (Looking at you Zach Lowe). This is Russ 2.0, efficient, more calculated, looking more to pass than score. This man deserves his ring

I mean it was a very legitimate criticism of his especially with the Lakers. He was forcing a ton of stuff and not doing well.

[–] f1234k@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

How do you shoot a turnover?

[–] Giannis1995@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Top 25 and it ain't debatable

[–] Novel_Board_6813@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

My most entertaining r/nba phantasy would be Russ winning FMVP. Oh, how the world would burn

Unfortunately, the mods would lock r/nba protesting against the new color of the app or something

[–] drunkenyeknom@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

One more rebound and he would’ve gotten me $200 smh lol

Dang, dude, I like Russ but this was the Blazers lol
