I think he's never been the best player on his own team but wants to play like he is. My argument with Russ is, he will never win anything because he always wants to be the lead guy, but he's not good enough to be the lead guy. Doesn't shoot it well enough for his high volume of 3's and jumpers.Never have understood the Westbrook hate. Dude plays his heart out, and is still so explosive. Btw, that’s game over.
For most of his career I’d agree, except now. He seemed to accept his second role alongside Harden and has been playing really really well since they traded Capela. Give Russ space in the lane to drive and he is probably the most dangerous finisher in the game outside of Giannis or LeBron.I think he's never been the best player on his own team but wants to play like he is.

He seems like a good guy for the most part. But I wouldn't want him on my team if I already had a superstar.
Talen wise I agree with you. As soon as he starts settling, though, I'm out.For most of his career I’d agree, except now.

Yeah agreed, Westbrook is not a good shooter and in OKC he took a lot of shots he didn’t need to, and I’m not saying he’s perfect, but I’ve seen and the stats have seen significant improvement with the trade of Clint Capela. It allows him to be at his most effective.Talen wise I agree with you. As soon as he starts settling, though, I'm out.

DAME TIME
really hoping Portland gets that 8 seed cause they have a legit chance of ousting the Lakers or at least making it an interesting story.
Doesn't matter though cause no one's beating LAC this year.
I was talking to my buddy the other night when the NBA restarted. I said if one team wouldn't surprise me coming out of the east other than Milwaukee, its Boston. Not the Raptors, not the Sixers, no the Heat, but the Celtics.Celtics romping Raptors right now.
I like the Celtics but they don’t match up well with the Bucks. That’s what makes the East so interesting I suppose. I could see it being the Bucks, Celtics, Raps, and Heat. Though, I think the Bucks have it wrapped up if they stay consistent and don’t have any injuries.I was talking to my buddy the other night when the NBA restarted.

Good games later with Lakers-Nugs & Raps-Bucks.
I know it sucks. I’m still watching but I just figured they’d all be playing bc they’re the top teams in the East. I haven’t looked yet, but is the Lakers nugs game supposed to be the same or is everyone playing?no one playing in the Raps-Bucks game. Lowry, Van Vleet and Giannis all took the day off. I hit delete as soon as I saw the lineups.
Hopefully Butler is playing tonight so the Miami vs Indiana game is worth a look.
Its no coincidence a city in Colorado has had the nickname Nugs
They were down by 3. Not the smartest move. Worried about LAL. Think Clips take it.Wow, crazy ending to Lakers nugs. Huge 3 by Kuzma late. Bol Bol even had a chance to put it up on the inbound with 0.4 on the clock.
Idk what’s gonna happen come playoffs. The West looks like it’ll be Clipps-Lakers but who knows. Denver looks solid. Utah seems to have regressed a little, and Houston can be dangerous when they’re firing on all cylinders. However, they live and die by the 3..and their lack of height won’t help them come playoffs. OKC is intriguing.They were down by 3. Not the smartest move. Worried about LAL. Think Clips take it.
Love the Booker/Ayton combo. Rubio was a huge plus to the Suns.
I don’t really get the spacing on the bench either, bc these players aren’t leaving the bubble and are getting tested all the time. Seems a bit superfluous.Wearing mask on the bench....
Timeout is called...
Players high-fiving....Laughing
Put me in the boat that would love to see Portland and the Lakers in round one as well. Dame Time vs LBJ would be a lot of fun. Believe it or not, I give Portland a decent chance to win that series. Maybe 2 out of 10.The 8 seed in the West is gonna be a war. I personally hope Portland gets it, but Phx, SA and Memphis all practically have the same record. It’ll be interesting to see who takes it. If Lakers get the top seed, and get Portland in the first series..that would be a tough series for the Lakers. The Clippers get Trezz back, which is huge for them. You know Kawhi, PG, Trezz, Lou Will are all gonna be locked in come playoffs. Lebron obviously will be too. AD needs to stay healthy, and their shooters need to step it up imo. Danny Green, Waiters, and Kuzma need to step up and knock down shots. I like the Clippers depth more than the Lakers. Denver is also a scary team from what I’ve seen in the first 7 games back. Love their roster, as it’s a mix of experience and youth with a shit ton of talent. Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr (who’s been playing great and we’re finally seeing his potential...he has an incredibly high ceiling) Milsap, Monte Morris, Bol Bol, Dozier etc. And they’re getting Gary Harris and Will Barton back before seeding. At full strength they’re gonna be a tough out.
This is a pretty exciting post season in terms of talent from various teams. First time in a long time that the nba post season doesn’t look predictable. Glad to see more super teams, and not such a top heavy Warriors squad. Glad that era is over tbh. There’s so many good players entering the league too, that from a talent standpoint...the league is loaded.
