    If Westbrook has a million fans, then I’m one of them. 😄

    If Westbrook has one fan, then I’m THAT ONE. ✊️

    If Westbrook has no fans, that means I’m dead. 💀

  2. Stranger_Alarmed

    I know this sub likes to hate on Westbrook a lot but his last possessions were absolutely CLUTCH. A lot of second chances and throws the ball off Booker. DAWG

  3. RabbitWolfie

    All-defensive team display by Booker and Russ. Meanwhile, Ayton a hologram on those contested boards…

  4. Throwawayfor_rnba

    That was the best 3 for 19 game of all time by WestBrook

  5. iRockaflame

    The duality of Westbrook is unreal.

    I fully expect this man to brick so many shots and make clutch free throws like hes at practice.

  6. mehmetem

    Westbrook with so many winning plays down the stretch. All the offensive boards, last second block. He made his FTs too. So happy he switched locker rooms and seems like it’s worked out for everyone.

    Playoff Kawhi is also unreal. If he clutches this series (hard if even with the win), west would be wide open and he could have another all time run. Excited for the remaining games.

  7. lolimdivine

    that’s fucking bestbrook right there. dude shot like shit so he dug in on defense and hit two ice cold free throws and then CLAMPS DEVIN BOOKER AND THROWS THE BALL OFF OF HIM! that’s former MVP shit

  8. LeBrown_James666

    Ayton needs to play like a fucking center bruh

  9. Kyler1313

    The Suns lost a game against the Clippers with no Paul George and Westbrook taking 19 shots on 15% efficiency. Not the start they’d hope for…

  10. ignatious__reilly

    Russ has Absolute ice in his veins. What a fucking monster. Regardless of his shooting tonight his work ethic is next level.

  11. mMounirM

    Booker complaining to the ref mid-play. who does he think he is? Luka?

  12. Holy shit. Westbrook just won a playoff game for LA

  13. reddev87

    This game fucking delivered, holy shit! Kawhi needed every second of this season’s load management to prepare him for that carry.

    Also, Russ would be so damn valuable if only he refused to shoot the ball, needs to have a talk with Ben Simmons. Best 3/19 playoff performance of all time, did everything right in the home stretch (except the shooting ofc)

  14. Chiswell123

    Only Westbrook can go 3-19 yet make so many winning plays as well. The dude is an anomaly at this point in his career. Shame PG is out. Hell of a game.

  15. scarywolverine

    Westbrook was ridiculous dont the stretch.

  16. dotbarnfather

    I do not care for the emotional toll it may have on each of the respective fanbases, please give us seven games of healthy Kawhi versus healthy KD.

  17. Impartial__

    Russ keep the game close so he can win it himself. I am sorry for doubting you bestbrook.

  18. idonthaveagooduse

    Russ with the best worst game of all time

  19. leakymemo

    Westbrook clearly chose to reallocate his all of his skill points to defense on his create-a-player page.

  20. Blackmanwdaplan

    Kawhi the super team killer! Remember him busting the KD Warriors ass before Zaza ended his playoff run!

  21. foofighter1351

    Well that was an absolutely incredible hustle game, what a banger.

  22. cactus_jack_1

    This is the greatest 3/19 game of all time by Westbrook

  23. GGezpzMuppy

    This gonna be a pretty controversial, but Western Conference playoffs is just a tad bit better to watch than the Eastern playoffs lol

  24. He was terrible when attempting to shoot, but the Clippers absolutely needed Westbrook’s effort. He was just relentless all over the floor. In a game full of old dudes, he out-worked everybody.

    Just don’t shoot as much next game

  25. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO101

    Kawhi is genuinely one of the greatest playoff performers of all time. Man is averaging 30 over his last SIXTY ONE playoff games on insane efficiency.

  26. u/MITWestbrook is gonna have a field day lol.

    Possibly the greatest 3/19 game ever. Incredible energy and hustle on defense and the offensive glass.

  27. sbstooge

    Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16 – RUSS 3/19 SAYS I JUST WHIPPED YOUR ASS

  28. RiggyTang

    Kawhi is still that fucking guy.

    One of the best games of the year easily. Give us 7 baby!

  29. Padulsky21

    Monty does not know how to utilize KD, nor does the rest of the team

  30. ivegottheshits

    MITWestbrook shooting fucking ropes tonight

  31. When the Clippers get the W, I get a little chubby dude 😎

  32. grandmastakew

    Shot 3 for 19 but wanted that win more than anyone else on the planet.

  33. ArmandNinja

    Facing Kawhi in the playoffs must be frustrating as the opponent, he’ll cook your team and not once change his expression

  34. Allcross9

    Russ heard y’all talking shit about throwing up bricks. Little did the Suns know he was building brick steps to get the clutchest block and offensive rebound.

  35. KeyExplanation

    If Kawhi is this version of himself and Russ continues to have his clutch moments, Clippers could definitely make some noise

  36. FadedRecluse

    EG with the early spark, Kawhi being Kawhi, Russ coming in clutch at the end, a chaotic game to say the least

  37. goblue422

    I was wrong about Westbrook. Man ended up winning that game for the Clippers. Definitely made me look dumb

  38. LarrcasM

    God man, if you’re Phoenix this has to be rough.

    What more can you ask out of a game? Durant and Booker both VERY efficient (when you account for how many FT attempts they took), basically a triple double out of KD, Booker looking like a DPOY candidate, CP3 10:1 AST/TO, Westbrook couldn’t buy a fucking basket, took more FTA’s as a team, turned the ball over less as a team, PG is hurt, and you’re at home.

    Literally everything went your way and it wasn’t enough to beat Kawhi and the Clippers bench. Every time he plays, I forget how fucking fun to watch Kawhi is in these big games man…just a joy to watch him play.

    What a game. Got damn Westbrook shot like shit, but those rebounds (and the defensive play at the end) were fucking huge.

  39. Caroleanlover

    I don’t give a fuck who you are, which team you support, what gets you up in the morning, how good your dad is at fighting, how big your cock is, how much you love going for long walks or any other bullshit. You’re on this subreddit because you love basketball. And if you love basketball then you owe it to yourself to give up every other thing you give a flying fuck about and watch the Los Angeles Clippers. And you know why:

    Russell Westbrook.

    Russell Westbrook is bringing it. He’s bringing it hard. I wish everyone could go back and watch that five minute spell in the fourth where he came back in and just ignited the afterburners, strapped falcon talons onto his hands and drove his will deep into the Suns’ heart.

    Russell Westbrook is box office shit. If you’re bored and you’ve got nothing to do and you don’t know which game to watch, just watch Russell fucking Westbrook deep dick stat lines with enough power to light up a major metropolis.

    Seriously, why the fuck are you still reading this, go have a wank to some Wesbtrook highlight videos and pass out safe in the knowledge he plays, on average, three times a week.

    Fuck your own team, Russell Westbrook is your team now.

  40. thebiggesthater420

    Playoff Kawhi is the best player in the world. An impersonal, indifferent machine made for winning basketball that will crush you if you get in its way.
