WestGOAT was in his bag tonight dropping a Crispy 24 points on 9-21 shooting and 3-6 from downtown including a clutch 3 to tie the game at 85 after the Lakers had taken their first lead of the game

Russ had 4 steals tonight and played with the energy and unbridaled enthusiasm of a freight train as he recklessly went after the Lakers the man was unstoppable

Did he make mistakes? Yes

Did he make turnovers? Yes

Does he have some negative aspects? Yes

BUT is the overall package a Winner and Valuable? HELL YES

Russell Westbrook has transformed the culture of the Clippers from a lacksadaisical team of misfits into a well oiled machine that plays with fervor and strength at all times

Did the Clippers just fight until the last SECOND of an OT game on the 2nd night of a back to back??

Did Kawhi and PG13 play inspired basketball and never give up??

That's the RUSS Effect that's what he does to a basketball team he has leadership by example and it rubs off on the others.....Heat Culture looks pretty nonexistent in Miami right now I think it got transferred over to BEASTBROOK cause that man is on another level right now

HARDEN + BEASTBROOK + THE CLAW + PG13 = FOUR HORSEMEN

ALL FROM SoCAL and Ready to take the NBA by Storm....GET THE HECK OUTTA THE WAY THESE BOYS ARE COMING STARTING MONDAY NIGHT AND THEY ARENT GONNA QUIT TILL THAT TITLE IS BACK IN LOS ANGELES !!!!!!!!!!

MSG...NYC....GET READY FOR THE GOAT SUPERTEAM on 11/6 DEBUT....FEAST YOUR EYES ON THE 4 HORSEMEN

Russ was never a problem on the Lakers. His contract was the problem.

His play was definitely a problem. If his pay was less it wouldn’t be as bad but either way whether he was a vet min or max guy his play with the lakers was atrocious.

He’s definitely looking better in clippers and actually seems motivated.

Best value for money contract in the whole league.

Tonight I watched the end of the game with my mom, who knows nothing about basketball. There was this play in overtime where Westbrook runs after the ball playing aggressive defense guarding 3 Lakers in the back court as the pass it to each other before finally fouling the third guy in the back court.

My mom was very impressed, said wow that guy looks really good, seeing the defensive effort and energy.

Whereas to me, that's one of the plays that lost the Clippers the game as shortly after Reaves is fouled by Tucker on a non shooting call but the Clippers are in the bonus as a result of a completely unnecessary foul by Westbrook the minute before so the Lakers get 2 points.

Westbrook's performance on the Clippers has been solid, but let's not overlook the fact that his shooting percentages are still mediocre and he continues to make mistakes and turnovers. While he brings energy and steals to the game, his overall impact as a winner is questionable.

It's not questionable, and you've just've admitted it.

Is there are argument for Westbrook that doesn't involve quoting stats?
