Westbrook can’t win with these cats
Clippers are wasting Westbrooks prime
MVP level performance
I am happy for him, he’s definitely proving he’s still an elite floor raiser at the least
Get my man some help
WestCOULD
climate friendly buckets.
Dudes pulling the team himself today.
Dude is hooping his ass off
Ethical Hooper
Imagine attacking the rim 24/7 and getting 0 calls. Fuck the refs
Respect for Russ 🫡
Actually criminal that PG and Kawhi can’t fuckin stay healthy
MVP Russ is back. Man if the Clippers just had Kawhi or George…
Played his heart out .
This is so painful to watch as a Russ fan
Zero free throws is actually crazy for someone who plays like westbrook
Best player on the floor today. Complete ref-job. Durant got more free-throws than the entire Clippers team
Dude is trying his hardest, such bad luck for the Clippers with the injuries
I mean… Did he think to drive to the basket like the suns?
/s
As a Thunder fan who loves Russ, this was so fun to see Russ play like an MVP again
It’s like Westbrook is the only one who wants to win.
Trade PG and Kawhi. Build around Russ
Give this man some help
Organic, non GMO, environmentally friendly, ethical buckets
Russ on an underdog team is fucking different.
almost shed a tear watching vintage westbrook man
For a man who drives as much as russ having 0 fts on 29 shots just isn’t possible. Clippers shot 10 fts overall tonight. There just isn’t anyway that’s fair. They had more points in the paint too.
Today was the most obvious ref job I’ve ever seen
Bro looked like OKC Russ out there im so glad he with a team that appreciates and compliments him again
amazing russ game. love to see him play well. really sucks that kawhi and pg are hurt
The fact that Westbrook got 0 free throws is insane… He’s getting the LeBron treatment when driving..
Russ has not been making it easy for the Suns who should be blowing out the hospital Clippers out of the water. Dude’s still a superstar in the playoffs
29 attempted field goals, only ~8 jumpshots, and zero free throws. If you aren’t seeing how lopsided the reffing is in this series, I don’t know what to tell you.
Beastbrook damn near won this game by himself. Ultimate respect to him
Westbrook 🤝🏼 Jokic
Zero FT
No player like Russ. I’ve always loved the dude and although the last two years have been rough, this is why I love the guy. No one else has the willpower this guy does.
I can’t believe both stars are out for him because this Russ plus one of Kawhi or PG is making this a 7 game series and may even have the edge with their depth.
So happy he’s telling his detractors to go fuck themselves. Hope he stays here next year and continues this streak.
I hope r/nba appreciates Westbrook
It was clear that Lakers weren’t a great fit for him. I’m happy he’s playing great again. Exciting to watch
Unironically if he can steal a game or two to end the series playing like this, this might be one of his top 5 playoff series performances and that’s not taking away from his past showing, he’s genuinely playing the best he has since 2016 and the most dialed in defense I’ve seen from him.
Earned himself a new contract after clowns where saying he’d be out of the league next year good for him.
Damn shame that he couldn’t have a healthy Kawhi and PG. Would probably be up 3-1 right now. Nuggets need to finish their series and put Jokic and Murray in a bubble until next series starts.
Ethical hoops from Brodie. He had a great game.
The way refs just stopped giving him calls for contact on his drives over the course of his post MVP career has been headscratching.
The demise was greatly exaggerated
mvp performance.
Except game 1 where he was terrible with his efficiency but great defensively, he’s been elite this series. 26ppg on 55TS% on this contract is crazy.
Feel amazing for the Russ, bad for the clips. I feel like us and clippers fans can relate in being part of huge “what if they just played” teams
How do you take 30 shot attempts and not get a single free throw?
Thank god we picked this man up. Against all our best intuitions. The last two games would have been blowouts otherwise. Nothing but respect for the Brodie 🫡.
