Russ did you guys lose this game or did the Jazz win this one?
NBA - Main
Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
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.
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.
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
well, we all knew whoever made this comment would get the updoots, like every other post made about this moment.
Was his name Miss Kitty?
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
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.
they complain about the media, but they literally act worse trying to instigate sht since they got nothing better to do in life
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
Seriously. The man had 4 shot attempts the entire game. Ridiculous
Russell the most criticized veteran minimum player in the whole world lmao.
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...
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
no they wouldn't have, because all you could focus on would be Westbrook clutching the offensive rebound.
Same thing with jr smith.
Russ shot was so short
Glad he ain't on my team.
Is Terrance Mann still untouchable? The more Russ does clown stuff like this the more likely a trade will happen
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.
All these alternate angles just clarify that Kawhi shouldn’t have ran down the clock 😭😮💨
Literally like it was his fault
This was Kawhi's dumbass fault for trying to iso lol
Tbf why did Russ look off the shooter at the three point line, who was wide open
Bro thought he was him again after beating up on the young af Blazers
Looked like he got sniped
I am a Russ defender for his decision there, but damn that was short lol.
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.
He knows a brick when he see one
prime meme material but what else did you expect Brodie to do after you ran the clock down 🤷
Get used to it. Rusty ain’t a winner.
Bro knew that was an airball before Russ shot it that’s tough
Kawhi getting clamped by Jordan Clarkson is NOT how I expected this game to end lmfao
The clippers fans get to see how it feels this season, have fun guys
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
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.
I think he would be injured, but whatever, I can feel the disappointment of kawhi after seeing that horrible shot of westbrook
This was more on Kawhi for wasting too much time.
Lol what's Russ supposed to do? Pass? Not enough time Board Man
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
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
Lol he actually collapsed before seeing the results
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.
