Was cooking Luka in the 4th
Luka _oncic out here getting hunted and cooked on defense by Russ in the year 2023
Not a great look to say the least lol
Clippers own Luka and Mavs. What’s new?
Hunted down Luka relentlessly lmao
They should start him or trade him.
He’s gotta be up there for most offensive boards for a guard
Was really hoping they could make it work on the Lakers, Russ would have been a great secondary playmaker. 44 mil for a bench player just was too steep, and Bron just wouldn’t play off ball
Cooked Luka in the 4th. Attacked the basket and didn’t settle for the open 3s the Mavs gave him. That’s we need from him honestly. Great game.
he rebounds so well bruh
You’re welcome. According to Dunks and Threes, he has the 3rd highest EPM for all guards on defense.
Give him his defense credit
And great defense too. Genuinely one of the best guard defenders this season
He’s playing like a demon. First half was just one outrageous defensive play after another. I love this version of Russ.
damn this sub he was the leader of HAMAS after that post about him playing bad after the harden trade ruined his momentum to start the season
A 6’3 guard should not be able to rebound that well offensively
You can find 15 6’3 guys at Walmart
Play like that all the time Russ, no bs jumpers
Leave it to the Mavs defense to get someone out of a slump
Exactly what you want from Russ. Unless he is straight cooking I want him to take 10 or less shots a game. Play hard on defense and perform for offensive rebounds and passing the ball.
I still wanna know WTF happened to bros FT shooting. Why’s he been in the 60s the last couple years when he was usually in the mid 80s?
Benchbrook showed up ngl
Was only a +1 in a blowout win. But I didn’t watch the game lol
I sure hope Harden is making the most of Westbrook’s sacrifice… Sure would be awkward if he was continuing to suck just as hard.
Thriving in the role the lakers should have put him in all along
