JJ bro you're an NBA player and you didn't watch the game smh… They double Kawhi A LOT
Why is everybody saying that Durant didnt take a shot in the finals 5 minutes?? Didnt he make a shot under 2 minutrs left??
Westbrook plays one good game.. greatest ever… let's see next couple games
Everybody lowers their standards so much for Westbrook that a 3/19 shooting game and a plus/minus of -6 is seen as a “good game” from him and the Russell Westbrook experience lmfao
JJ. . .yes they did double him a few times, comon man keep your quotes true to maintain your credability.
Suns coach doesn't tell guards Booker and Paul to get KD the ball in the last 5 minutes ? Was he hurt / gassed / hiding ? ha ha
I'm so glad that we have a great and clear video of an old school step through and it not being a travel. It's NEVER BEEN A TRAVEL IN NBA HISTORY…IT'S NOT EVEN A TRAVEL IN HIGH SCHOOL.
Westbrook will was unwavering and helped the clippers win an crucial game 1 on the road, happy for brodie!
You have to wonder if Russell has that poor of a game offensively again from shooting. He takes 10 less shots but stays on the floor and moves the ball around, they'll be much harder to stop.
On the other side of that, KD needs the ball. It's a crime he barely touched the ball (realtively) for the whole game. The big secret to this PHX team is about getting KD attacking and kicking, and Booker on the weak side having a defender running at him.
i get that Westbrook was a poor fit, offensively, on the Lakers, but i also think that any pro would fit well if they're defending/rebounding at a high level. I'm certain the Lakers could've used that, too.
i see you still hatin on the clippers jj, since they applied Westbrook. when they double Kahwi he gon get the ball to Westbrook who penetrates into the paint and pass it in the corner, they did it couple of times in this game and it's up to the person who in the corner to make a 3 but knowing the clippers pretty sure they will knock some of those shots down p[crazy how y'all always so quick to say he can't shoot but never say how he can't be stopped at the rim without sending secondary defender]
A bad part of doubling is you leave your self open for more offensive rebounds and they already struggling to secure rebounds. Suns are really missing bridges right now.
Westbrook never cheats us on effort
Phoenix turned KD into the old Mikail Bridges
If Westbrook fits so well and is playing such great basketball for the Clips (I don't) does anyone actually believe the Clips will give him any kind of big and long term contract that he wants?
Lets just be real theres no stopping khawi hes gonna do what he wants when he wants thats the ways hes programmed 😂
MDW is the footwork goat. JJ a real one for that s.o
Brilliant using KD as a decoy during clutch time. It didn't work THIS time. So what. You don't throw the bath water out with the baby. They should stay the course
Russ should look back at this game and then go look at the Jordan’s bulls. You have your Jordan in kawhi and pippen in pg go be their Dennis
The laker/lebron hate runs so deep people like russ again 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
I’m I tripping or were the Suns not doubling cause I seen them double multiple times in fact one of the double teams lead to a open Gordon 3 from deep
Yeah I don't know how the Suns failed to get KD the ball those final 5 mins.Isnt that the whole reason you brought him in!? I don't want to hear the "Oh we were just running our offense" excuse.When you have a generational talent/arguable top 10 player ever, you let them break the offense.Just give him the ball and clear out.If they double/triple, that leaves guys open, and KD is an underrated passer.The Suns should've broke their usual sets, and just ran their offense through KD those final 5 mins.It's the only way they have a shot at winning a title this year imo.He's KD.Not Jae Crowder! A lot of this falls on Monty Williams.Ty Lue is a better tactician.Hell, he even got out coached by Jason Kidd last post season.I'm starting to think he might be the Phoenix Suns Mark Jackson.Good at motivating players, but not the best X & O's type of coach that can win you a title.
scraping the bottom of the barrel. Westbrook is irrelevant
Man if OKC just won 1 more game in 2016…
West playoffs are going to be insane. Must see TV
The reason the Suns won’t win is DEPTH!!! Ty Lue can throw bodies & bodies at D Book & Kawhi alone can limit KD. Those are the only 2 who can beat teams on the Suns. Suns need an offseason to develop & add.
tommy is in a hilarious outfit rn
3-19 is still 3-19 win or lose. If the Clippers would have lost the conversation would have been on how horrible he shot.
Westbrook should have never had Lakers jersey on should have been a clipper
can westbrook start playing like draymond? he'll be much better utilized this way and they can win a chip if he does
When Russ is getting rebounds and playing defense he can change the outcome of games despite his shooting
The MDW Basketball callout was love man I watch his channel a lot on instagram
so good this channel. for a break down in real basketball, not that many better channels out there
sorry but that play is a travel because he lands left foot first, then right. his left foot is the pivot foot.
on the second play, his left foot is also his pivot foot but also its a travel too because he shuffled his right foot
