Westbrook 18-43. That's a shot a minute in a game in which his team didn't sniff 100.
Kiwi...
what can be said about him. Dude must have gangrene on that tendon.

Carmelo 3-7.
How the does that happen? He just say this guy, he's out of here anyways?
Weird how Westbrook's teammates always seem to play poorly in the playoffs.
Now... if only there was a common denominator...
LeBron is the coach, not Lue.
For the record: 82 shots in 88 minutes over the past 2 games from Russ.
"What are teammates?" for $28,000,000, Trebek.
Duncan had Robinson, Parker and Ginóbili. Hakeem had 3-point shooters and an over-the-hill Clyde Drexler for one run.
That no-call isn't as obvious as you guys are making it out to be. Frankly, I thought it was a good no-call. You can't call that with the game on the line. George almost leaned into him.
I hate Russ as much as anyone else here but c'mon boys, this loss(Game 5 only not the series) is not on him. Yeah he took a ton of shots but it was pretty ing obvious in the 3rd Q that Playoff P's balls had rescinded and he was gonna be no help whatsoever and Melo hasn't been a net positive for a while now so there was no reason to look for anything there either. Russ really had no choice other than putting up 50 ing shots this game, and he single handedly kept them in it.
That being said, you are never going beyond first round with Russ as your option 1. His game simply ain't about dat life. By now it's pretty obvious that he is not changing his ways and I'm not sure is a coach out there that can make him do so. He'll continue rewarding fantasy GM's for next 2-3 years but the Thunder are stuck with being 1 and done until they move past Russ, tbh.
you need to move the ball to have confident offensive players. Russ ain't ever winning the ring as the main ballhandler tbh, even Kobe (another tier offensively!) passed more smh
Thanks for ignoring 03 duncan and 11 dirk.
Always funny hearing a laker fan say this. As if any laker ever did anything other than having the league help them get great players and having the opposition killed/kicked out of the league and games rigged.
Jordan was losing to Bird's Celtics and putting up monster stats in the process.
This is a low tier "star" if you can call him that in Oladipo and a bunch of role-players taking Lebron with HCA to 7 in the 1st round. It shouldn't be this close.
Bynumite:lebron sucks he can’t carry trash to overachive everytime while my Kobe only won with trash like shaq and MVPau and Odom and Bynum, while magic had to endure horrible rosters that feature Kareem, worthy, Scott/Nixon, mcadoo, Cooper and klaydad Thompson.
Malone Payton Dwight and Nash all suck.
Still beat chuckbrook
At least reference 94. How was Clyde over the hill averaging 20 a game while Robinson wasn’t? And how was parked and ginobili even on the hill at that point? The second best player on that spurs team was clearly Jackson.
Look for playoff pee and Carmelo to fight for MIP next year. It’s as sure a bet as chuckbrook getting triple doubles in a loss (during regular season).
Who said I ignored them? First off, Duncan had plenty of help, including a near-retirement Robinson, who if nothing else provided good veteran leadership. Dirk certainly was almost by himself but what they did was also a big upset. But fine, I'll give you Dirk to go along with Hakeem.
Clyde was still over-the-hill, even if still effective. If he had been the best player on the team, they don't even make it out the first round.
Yeah. Veteran leadership. Robinson was down then. Was he still good? Sure. He was 94 Thorpe level good. But he nowhere near a superstar or Even an all star at that point.
People look at that roster and thought they were all in their prime, which is re ed. That’s like saying Hakeem had mvp runner up level 92 Clyde next to him or dirk had runner up level 02 kidd next to him.
Yeah. If 03 Robinson was the best player on a team I’m sure that team would have made the playoffs.
21 ppg, 7 rebs 4 assts and 2 stops and he was just effective. Did you know Clyde led that team in ws/48 and bpm? He also led the rockets in ws and bpm in the playoffs.
Not to mention Horry, elie, cassell and smith were killing it in all year. Nailing clutch shot after clutch shot.
All the while robinson who averaged 8/8 and 2 blks provided veteran leadership. And the team is loaded when duncan has almost the same ws of the next three spurs with the highest win shares combined. And bpm the next four. Duncan not only led the spurs in every advanced stats in the regular season and playoffs, he often doubles the runner up spurs in those categories.

I'm saying he wasn't as good as he used to be.
Well duh. Neither was Robinson. But Clyde was closer to his prime than Robinson was. So I can’t understand how Hakeem didn’t have help while duncan did in 03.
lol. That hoodie's a nice touch in that BR picture.
You want to call 2003 Robinson on his last legs putting up 8.5 ppg and 7.9 reb a star? Rookie Ginobili and his 7.6 ppg? The closest thing to a second star Duncan had on that team was 20 year old Parker and his 15.5 ppg and 5.3 apg. The top 3 scorers on the team after Duncan were Parker, Stephen Jackson, and Malik Rose. Damn what a stacked cast. 1994 Thorpe put up 14.0 ppg and 10.6 rpg, I'd take him over 03 Parker. 1994 Maxwell + Smith was probably a wash with 03 Jackson + Rose, especially with that close three point line. LOL at calling 32 year old Drexler putting up 21 ppg on 50.6% shooting over the hill and then act like 37 year old Robinson was still a star.
