The quest for 6th man of the year!!
Horrible first half, amazing second half. 6th man of the year incoming
Wasn’t pretty but he turnt up when the team needed it the most
Christie and Bryant definitely have great chemistry with him.
There’s been numerous plays where Russ would have the ball, he’d see Bron, then he’d slow down and give it to Bron (sometimes horribly). Then Bron would playmake, Russ won’t cut, and offense stagnates.
I think there have been solid truths this season that needs to be made a focal point for the team:
AD gotta be the primary target regardless of who’s on the floor with him.
If Bron and Russ are both on the floor, #LetRussCook. He’s the primary playmaker. Bron should either post up, cut, move offball, or wait for the c&s.
Only time Bron should be pounding the rock is if Russ isn’t in there with him.
Sure we’re leaving some performance on the floor with Bron not on full playmaking duties, but that keeps him fresher on defense, and it also raises Westbrook’s floor.
Either that or limit their minutes together.
The goat
So if parks and recs comes back Russ will appear
Detlef Schrempf was a bad bad man
6/6/5 just in the 4th
If only this Dude could shoot lol just imagine
Detlef Shrimp
Sell high Jeanie, for the love of god please
The bench dominates again tonight 58 to 23 carrying us again to another win! Let’s go Lakers!
Russell “The King of the 6th” Westbrook.
Did you see how blazingly fast he is on the floor, only Russ and prime Derrick Rose can do that kind of zoom zoom.
Russ is incredible. Super underrated and highly disrespected. These numbers are insane for a 6th man.
