Kings never get love. Clippers lost the game, why is the NBA showing Westbrick lol. And this isn't just the Kings, its NorCal. Dubs dont get love from the NBA either, after championship, after championship. NBA def has a bias against NorCal and prefer SoCal teams better. Where the highlight of Fox and Monk?
Lakers have messed up badly getting rid of him
Russ looks GREAT because feels APPRECIATED …
Russ HAD to foul out because nobody else was playing defense…
First game he set a record 😂 dont ever disrespect the Brodie
he trash, give it time to fail
Most underrated player of all time
And they lost
This were wesbrook fits at
Lakers Sucks..
Would have liked to see turnovers highlights too🤣 how many turnovers did he have this game?
Westbrook wasn’t the problem lakers jus sucks
Same old Westbrook! 7 turnovers LOL. NO TEAM will play him in the post season, not if they're playing to win.
Towel Boy Lue couldn't get anyone to play any defense!
Kawhi will take the next 5 games off because he played. (2nd round team at best!)
Westbrook definitely take a lot of pressure off of George and Leonard they don't have to do ass much
Russ and pg13 and Kawhi Leonard that tough
Amazing
Ooooooh Clippers are going to be a problem in the west.
Russell Westbrook Sixth man of The Year!
he nearly had a triple double with turnovers
Clippers did 👍great
I needed bricks to make my dream home I saw westbrick I told him the game was on the line he had so much bricks I could even make a extra 🏠
7 turnovers
if westbrook can play like that in his first game @clippers? maybe a minimal adjustments for turnovers and fgs, meaning he needs some screens for him to go in or pass out the ball for open man. Clippers is best in that kind of adjustments they can apply a rondo thing on him.
westbrook isn't burning out he's feelin' it. I think there's a problematic thing in the lakers not him.
NBA come on man, I know y’all got star power and wanna show all the Clippers points but put some respect in the kings. So many highlights u left out of the clip by the kings.
I know your compiling for the sake of time but damn that’s lazy. If y’all wanna promote basketball and the will to win you gotta post both ways.
The kings relentless pursuit in responding to point deficits is heart and basketball.
Do BETTER. Especially if you want to capture the up and downs of the whole game
Luv it westbrook is where he wants too..love it
