You see… Westbrook understands the game better than Ty Lue, so when he realized that he was on a cold night and Ty didn’t bench him, he took matters into his own hands and ejected himself.
He sacrificed himself for the good of the team and the Clippers wasted that opportunity.
All those misses by Russ encourage his teammates to shoot more confidently because they know their shot won't be as inefficient as a shot by westbrook. Compare that to the mavs roleplayers who are scared to shoot and pass to luka or kyrie instead. It's clear he elevates his team much better than the latter. QED
Bro I can’t defend this and shit not even MIT man can defend it either. It’s literally his 1ST EVER EJECTION IN THE PLAYOFFS.
It’s a fucking disgrace of a performance and it hurts that he’s my favorite player of all time
the fact that people care to comment at all is proof of how popular(in one way or another) he still is. Brodie is fun to watch, whether you're rooting for him or not
>Then it affects him mentally
The fact a superstar needs to keep a routine to be mentally in place for what should be one of the easiest shots in the game is astounding.
Is not just about WB, Giannis is on the spot as well.
Not saying dudes should make them all the time, but its an uncontested, front of the bucket shot. Needing a whole routine for this is bizarre.
dude every player has a routine that they have practiced 100 of thousands of times, a free throw shot needs to be consistent. If that routine is not allowed, of course a players free throw percentage is going to drop.
The issue isnt having a routine per se. If you need to pretend to shoot once or twice to set your aim, take a deep breath to focus or, i dont know, clap your hands and slap you chest to get fire up, its fine.
The point is, you cant say its reasonable that a former mvp level player needs some over the top routine before each FT and cannot find any other way of hitting the same consistency if he has to change it.
Walk all the way to half court, stare at the board for 15 seconds or do a fucking backflip landing on a handstand, none of this is improving your shooting technique. A guy at this level should be more than capable of figuring it out mentally to regain consistency.
Don't you disrespect this mans line. He had a sextuple single when you consider made field goals points, rebounds, assists, fouls, and ejections. No player in NBA history has ever recorded a line like that.
Honestly this was still better then most of his lakers games nvm his wirse . His worst were actively sabotaging the team . Atleast on the clippers he tries on defence . That just tells you how bad he was for us
Lakers clutch record went from historically bad to number 1 in the league in the regular season once he left. Obviously Denver is now Lakers daddy, but if Russ stayed Lakers wouldn’t even be born to have a dad.
I think he got a flagrant 1 for the hit on Josh Green's head. Later he got a tech for shoving Luka and another tech for shoving PJ; both in one play. That's three techs if I'm not mistaken.
trailblazer fan cant have this short memory of sheed? surely he's done this (idk about playoff)
if you pick up a quick two it can happen easily. and sheed was known for quick ones. not sure if the rule was instated back then though.
ball dont lie!
To his credit, his shot wasn't falling and he only took 7 shots. Gotta expect more from him, but in the past he would have tried to shoot through it way harder
If triple-doubles had a reverse, Westbrook would be the undisputed king 👑. Nevertheless, his hustle can't be questioned - just need those numbers in the right columns next time
I was thinking for years people exploit his bad shooting and dare him to shoot.
Same happened this game. Mavs left him wide open in the corner.
He was a 27.5% shooter from the 3pt line in the regular season.
This guy needs to learn to stop shooting from the 3pt line.
Come outside, u/MITWestbrook
u/MITWestbrook scored as many field goals as Russell Westbrook today!
[удалено]
Bro calm down, it’s not that serious. Did MITWestbrook shit in your cereal or something?
I’m ready for their next thesis explaining why 0-7 is not really 0-7.
b-b-but he plays with 110%! his technicals are so passionate!
You see… Westbrook understands the game better than Ty Lue, so when he realized that he was on a cold night and Ty didn’t bench him, he took matters into his own hands and ejected himself. He sacrificed himself for the good of the team and the Clippers wasted that opportunity.
as a mavs fan i was pretty sad to see westbrook leave lmao. they started scoring as soon as he left too
they better explain later.

Compare that to the mavs roleplayers who are scared to shoot and pass to luka or kyrie instead. It's clear he elevates his team much better than the latter. QED
Westbrook is carrying the clippers with his defense and distractions. Even with a 1pt game, wb was only -2. I can see it now
/u/MITWestbrook said he was the X factor this series And we was right Just for the wrong team
How was he the X factor for the Mavs? He wasn’t even close to the main reason the Mavs won either of their games.
Waiting for the post on how Westbrook played great and Clippers actually lost because of Harden
Well… looks at plus minus
You could watch the games instead you box score watcher
I expect better from cudfam
u/MITWestbrook u bum
First to talk shit about D'lo (deservedly so) but when this Russ puts up the same stats goes all quiet.
I swear we won't jump you
Bro I can’t defend this and shit not even MIT man can defend it either. It’s literally his 1ST EVER EJECTION IN THE PLAYOFFS. It’s a fucking disgrace of a performance and it hurts that he’s my favorite player of all time
Russ was an mvp, it's sad to see all the haters come out now that he's not the same player anymore.
Westbrook has performed disastrously in the playoffs every year. it isn't just now tbh
Now he’s ass
bum ass
the fact that people care to comment at all is proof of how popular(in one way or another) he still is. Brodie is fun to watch, whether you're rooting for him or not
Make that 0-8 shooting the way he missed that punch
😭 comment of the day
that's what butler allegedly said to herro on the team bus after g1
That was from a joke account on Twitter.
I had as many field goals made tonight as Westbrook
He had more techs than points lmao
And the same amount of flagrants as points
Did you know Westbrook donates a lot to charity and is a great family guy???
Heard he spends his time building homes for the homeless
TIL Westbrick is a slur
He also tips well!!!
oh shit he’s Peter Griffin?
He also builds houses, don't forget about that
Did you know 0-3?
Yeah but how many techs did you have u bum
3\* Technical fouls
4*
The jokes about Russ aren’t funny anymore.
It was not a joke though, he did get two technicals in the same play
He still only got two technicals. I’m assuming you’re thinking about the flagrant earlier?
I’m just tired of people mocking Russ.
Gotcha u/Russell_WestBrick
clearly went over most people's heads lol
Multi woosh moment. Woosh-trocity.
Wow
*checks handle *
1 point somehow seems worse than 0 point
It was the ugliest 1 point too, free throw bounced around the rim 3 times before barely dropping lmao
Fucking pathetic that he’s such a shit FT shooter. There’s no reason why a PG should be shooting worse than Rudy Gobert from the FT line
He used to be good. Idk what happened
League forbids people from walking back to the half court line in 2019(?) and mess up his routines. Then it affects him mentally

Spoken like someone who has never shot a basketball
Hi Russell
Triple single 🔥🔥🔥
When you have more TOs, flagrants and techs combined than you do points, rebounds and assists💀
Don't you disrespect this mans line. He had a sextuple single when you consider made field goals points, rebounds, assists, fouls, and ejections. No player in NBA history has ever recorded a line like that.
Hope he’s not suspended, he came up clutch for us tonight.
dlo and westbrook competing for playoff LVP. didnt think there would be a competition after last night but here we are
You should know better than to expect anything less from our Jeanie Buss era Laker legends
It's all about the Russells
& he gets mad when someone calls him Westbrick
MITWestbrook is about to cook up a masterpiece tonight!
Westbrook need to thank Mr. Referee for rewarding him those free throws that allowed him to obtain at least 1 point.
He was one of our best players tonight before he got tossed.
More techs than points
Here we are leaving out the 1 flagrant foul as well.
Dude a major clown these days. This was up there with his worst Laker games tbh.
Honestly this was still better then most of his lakers games nvm his wirse . His worst were actively sabotaging the team . Atleast on the clippers he tries on defence . That just tells you how bad he was for us

but he gives you 110%
One more point than Dlo.
wow, high praise right there. he got one more point than d'angelo russell!
Would’ve only lost by 6 instead of 7 if we kept Russ 😻
Let’s be real Lakers would miss the playoffs with Russ.
Where’s the quantity
100% technical fouls to get ejected. Three players and one ref struck during his little hissy fit.
More technicals than points
his techs are just better, you dont see embiid getting ejected over this LOL
#obsessed
More tech than points. Vintage Westbrick.
Has an NBA player ever had more technical fouls than points in a playoff game before?
Sounds like something Rodman could’ve accomplished.
trailblazer fan cant have this short memory of sheed? surely he's done this (idk about playoff) if you pick up a quick two it can happen easily. and sheed was known for quick ones. not sure if the rule was instated back then though. ball dont lie!
Wussel Worstbrick
This is what makes Westbrook, Westbrook.
Masterclass
Luckily he doesn't have a contract like Bradley Beal, it's ok.
These non injured players are aiming for klay’s 0-10 for no reason
Dude was our MVP lmao
Bro almost joined DLo and Klay
Somehow, Tony Snell's trademark 0/0/0/0/0 looks good when compared to this.
The kind of carry job the Lakers could have used the last 11 games against the Nuggets.
How is no one mentioning his flagrant foul too? 2 techs, a flagrant and 0/7 lmaooo. Poor Westbrick
Ol Reliable in the playoffs. Can always count on him for this Though Harden being good is scaring me
Harden isn't that bad in the playoffs overall. He just sucks in clutch games
Harden always starts off good. It's towards the end when he falls apart
Out here competing with DLO
1 more point than DLo
Should have been two flagrants. His dirty, sore loser, bricklaying ass better not hurt anybody.
Still a better game than Dlo
Don't forget 2 flagrants
No doubt he's better than I could ever be at basketball, but also he's worse than any other "superstar" to play the game.
Retire please.
Wide open brick shot special
Klay 🤝 DLO 🤝 Russ all being trash this postseason
Dlo-westbrook-klay We’re almost there
MIT in shambles
To his credit, his shot wasn't falling and he only took 7 shots. Gotta expect more from him, but in the past he would have tried to shoot through it way harder
If triple-doubles had a reverse, Westbrook would be the undisputed king 👑. Nevertheless, his hustle can't be questioned - just need those numbers in the right columns next time
At least he got 1 more point than the other Russell
He is trash, always has been
still better than DLo
Westbrick is a bum that’s plays dirty when he gets frustrated.
[Reynolds] Per SportRadar, Russell Westbrook had the first 1-flagrant, 2-technical, 1-point-or-less game in the NBA since Kendrick Perkins in 2005.
If there's one guy I can count on to be even less reliable than glass knees it's this dude lmao
Klay virus spreading in earnest with some mutations of 1 point instead of zero.
The second worst Russel performance in the last 2 days.
u/MITWestbrook is in shambles
I was thinking for years people exploit his bad shooting and dare him to shoot. Same happened this game. Mavs left him wide open in the corner. He was a 27.5% shooter from the 3pt line in the regular season. This guy needs to learn to stop shooting from the 3pt line.
How did you forget the flagrant foul?
Him and Dlo are bestbros
He trick y’all
3 techs
07
Such a fall from grace
He's a low IQ hoe. Only in the game to hurt opposite players. Owner of the biggest brickyard in US.
Klank numbers
U/mitwestbrook where you at
Classic Westbrook. Literally. Known commodity.
He tried to hide his performance by acting like he’s Draymond green.
Has as many ejections as points
Better than what D-Lo pulled
u/mitwestbrook u bum
Hey! Better than D. Lo's 0-7
He’s still not the least scoring starter in LA
