I told you guys he's a negative his whole career

Russell Westbrook's night is done as he has his first great game off the bench for the Clippers since the Harden acquisition: 24 MINS, 14 PTS, 8 REB, 7 AST, 6-9 FG, 2-3 FT in c/nba@nba.space

You're welcome. According to Dunks and Threes, he has the 3rd highest EPM for all guards on defense.

Give him his defense credit

I love him. But he was sixth man despite being better scorer than Bev

It's pretty clear what the issue is. Harden is trying to make PG play like Luke Kennard. This is the same issue LeBron had with Dwayne Wade and Bosh.

Links are here: you might have to change to EFG% https://www.pbpstats.com/on-off/nba/player?Season=2023-24&SeasonType=Regular%2BSeason&TeamId=1610612746&PlayerId=201935

It's like trying to start Lou Williams in 2020 over Pat Bev.

He's top 20 in all of NBA in defensive rating.

What were Harden's stats today 😂

2018 Warriors vs 2023 Clippers in their prime in c/nba@nba.space

Iggy was on the level of Paul George and Kawhi before the Warriors. He was a max player.

So I would say the top 5 of Warriors were better if all healthy. Steph, Klay, Dray, KD and Iggy.

Russell Westbrook, despite the poor shooting start, finishes the game with a dominant performance against the Magic: 27 MINS │ 18 PTS │ 6 REB │ 7 AST │ 5 STL │ 1 BLK │ 8-16 FG │ +16 in c/nba@nba.space

Bro you know Clippers are the best in the West

For 5 man lineups > 40 MIN, Westbrook + Clippers lead the league with 38 Net Rating with best offense and defense. LeBron + Lakers are last with -24 Net Rating. (alien.top)
 

It's been a good start to the season for the Clippers. Westbrook is 2nd in the league in +/- and is the team leader by being the most aggressive rebounder, playmaker, and defender.

Check the net ratings out for the 5-man lineup. Clippers really found something so far. Zubac is a beast and has been getting forced easy looks by Westbrook.

RoCo is a defensive nightmare with his deflections. He needs to stay as the starter.

It's pretty hilarious that LeBron is last with his lineup of AD, Prince, LeBron, Reaves, DLo. Reaves is now an overpaid player with a shooting skillet worse than Kennard. Reaves also is not really that much better of a defender than Kennard.

If they were paid the same, Kennard is more useful than Reaves for LeBron.

Let's not forget LeBron and Westbrook led the league in net rating as a duo in January and February this year. Lakers just plainly misused Westbrook to try to be a floor raiser with Wenyen Gabriel and Lonnie Walker as his main lineup players. Westbrook is a much better player to raise the ceiling like he did with KD and made it to 4 WCF and 1 NBA Finals. He's elevating Kawhi, PG and Zubac's game like no other. Just easy buckets.

Chris Paul tonight: 10/2/12/3 steals on (5-12) shooting with 3 Turnovers in c/nba@nba.space

3 turnovers late. Pretty washed

Suns are so happy that they dumped Paul and his $30M to the Warriors with his terrible defense and shot selection in 4th quarters. 1/5, 0/4 from 3, -9. Brick Paul here we come in c/nba@nba.space

Why Pat Bev? CP is making $30 million and is playingike 🗑️

Chris Paul is a terrible fit with the Warriors. He doesn't help at all with rebounding and being active on defense. His offense as spot-up shooter is terrible.

Suns are so happy to have unloaded his contract onto the Warriors as a huge negative player.

Start of Q4. Warriors up 4 and Paul goes in.

    1. Chris Paul ball watches and doesn't box out Goodwin
  2. Completely useless on fastbreak defense
  3. Bricks extremely wide open 3
  4. Terrible box out and gets rocked
  5. Stands around like a Grandpa and let's Eubank shoot
  6. 10-feet of space and BRICK 3
  7. Brick Paul with another Brick 3

Many more plays to highlight and will come back next time to show more.
