Russ did you guys lose this game or did the Jazz win this one?

[–] IceExpensive863@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Westbrook displayed his low IQ here considering he saw Batum at the three point line and he attempted a shot that is out of his comfort zone.

[–] Ok-Tree4365@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People are really milking this. Kawhi wanted him to pass it to an open Batum, who is good in clutch moments, and has the fastest 3-pt release I've ever seen. I'm sure everyone wanted to avoid overtime as well. Westbrook did well to get the rebound, it's a lot to process in that time, but the smarter move would have been to go to Batum.

[–] Ikigai_Mendokusai@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Idk man, Batum got passed the ball some seconds before this and he didnt take the shot but immediately passed it on to Kawhi who was then left to fend for himself against an aggressive defender.

Man almost tore his ACL witnessing all that

The Russ hate is now back boiz

I just saw a man fall to his knees at a Jazz game

[–] Bobblefighterman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

well, we all knew whoever made this comment would get the updoots, like every other post made about this moment.

Y'all seriously hating on Russ shooting a ball with less than 1 second left when the only reason they even got another shot was because of him crashing the boards to get a rebound?

WTF is wrong with you people

[–] Irvsauce@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Gotta love the basketball experts of r/nba

He created the possession and cannot be blamed for the loss. He also had 3 seconds when he rebounded the ball, and could have made the right play to pass but chose not to.

[–] masterstriker321@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

they complain about the media, but they literally act worse trying to instigate sht since they got nothing better to do in life

[–] SandyMandy17@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not like he took the rebound out and shot a congested 3

He jumped for an offensive board, took it form a 6’10 dude and then got it up immediately bc clock is down

You live with that bro 😭😭

I hate Chestbrook as much as the next guy but first off, Kawhi already clanked it off the rim on the previous attempt. Second, there was not enough time to pass the ball to Kawhi to get off a quality shot. He was open yes but time was very much against them he may have not gotten it off. Musclebrook got off a better look in this instance. So no, why so dramatic Kawhi it is what it is. You should have made it in the first place.

Edit: Upon further review, forget everything I said. Brook had a solid three seconds to execute a pass to Kawhi. He was already looking at Kawhi when he secured the rebound. The defenders probably close out on Kawhi as soon as he gets the ball but you still rather have Kawhi take the shot instead of Brook. Enjoy Westbrook fam more of this to come.

Lol these russ haters are idiots. Yes he makes mistakes but this is not one of em. Give it a rest

[–] MyLadySansa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Seriously. The man had 4 shot attempts the entire game. Ridiculous

Russell the most criticized veteran minimum player in the whole world lmao.

[–] tmperflare@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It's crazy how with the way people are reacting it would have just been better off for Westbrook to not get the offensive rebound...

[–] IAmReborn11111@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And if he passed it to Batum and the clock expired without getting a shot off then people would hate on Russ for not shooting

[–] Bobblefighterman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

no they wouldn't have, because all you could focus on would be Westbrook clutching the offensive rebound.

Russ shot was so short

[–] luvvdmycat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Glad he ain't on my team.

[–] jacobtfromtwilight@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Is Terrance Mann still untouchable? The more Russ does clown stuff like this the more likely a trade will happen

[–] ExpectFlames@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

People not acknowledging the hard closeout on batum which was inframe of russ shooting anyway wouldn't have mattered. You guys are not clippers fans at all they are happy with what they got 1 games out of 80 left STFU and move on man.

[–] Pay-Green@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (7 children)

All these alternate angles just clarify that Kawhi shouldn’t have ran down the clock 😭😮‍💨

[–] JustdoitJules@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Literally like it was his fault

This was Kawhi's dumbass fault for trying to iso lol

[–] noerapenalty@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Tbf why did Russ look off the shooter at the three point line, who was wide open

[–] justadapasta@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bro thought he was him again after beating up on the young af Blazers

[–] blacklite911@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Looked like he got sniped

[–] NoChanceNoProblem@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I am a Russ defender for his decision there, but damn that was short lol.

[–] PeanutButterOtter@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We all know Kawhi is gonna miss at least 50 games this year. Russ is just getting a head start on being the #1 option.

[–] adonWPV@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He knows a brick when he see one

[–] athiccBerry@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

prime meme material but what else did you expect Brodie to do after you ran the clock down 🤷

[–] nosnibork@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Get used to it. Rusty ain’t a winner.

[–] desirox@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bro knew that was an airball before Russ shot it that’s tough

[–] Flabbypuff@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Kawhi getting clamped by Jordan Clarkson is NOT how I expected this game to end lmfao

[–] 3big_bird23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The clippers fans get to see how it feels this season, have fun guys

[–] collapse1122@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

there was no time to pass , russ was left with no choice and made the only choice he had . kawhi should be mad at himself for dribbling so much

[–] RedbullPapi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is why Durant left OKC for Golden State. Westbrook pulled the same thing in the NBA finals when Durant was open he took bad shots. I wouldn't be surprised if Kawhi leaves for another team of he keeps this up.

[–] En_rique06@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think he would be injured, but whatever, I can feel the disappointment of kawhi after seeing that horrible shot of westbrook

[–] Sunshine145@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This was more on Kawhi for wasting too much time.

[–] dontnobodyknow@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lol what's Russ supposed to do? Pass? Not enough time Board Man

[–] Ramzaa_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Kawhi wasted 20 seconds to chuck up a bad shot before Westbrook got the board and rushed a shot bc the game was about to end

[–] nutsygenius@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Everybody here is overreacting lol. Maybe he's just upset Kawhi himself missed the shot prior? This is Westbrook just getting the offensive rebound, tryna release it quick because Kawhi took so much time lol

[–] endoright@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lol he actually collapsed before seeing the results

[–] fatflipflops@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

r/nba really thinking players should have the vision of a person playing 2k 😂😂

russ barely had a vision of batum being open. just stop.
