Crowder has been trash all series.

I still think Boston will give the Wiz a series though. Those two teams matchup pretty well.
 
Yea dont let Boston's struggles fool you. That Wizards and Boston series will be a lot closer than you guys think.

EYE don't like the hypothetical thing, but yall do.

What do you think John Wall would have done as the leader of the OKC Squad?

Or CP3?

Team More/Less/As Successful? Why?
Click to expand...

what has john wall or cp3 done to show you that they would lead this same OKC team to at least a 5 seed?

i love john wall. he's always had players around him. he's BARELY having success. they've had the same squad they have now (minus a bench, forreal) for....years.

did john wall make andrei blanche, javale mcgee or nick young better? did he make nene better or worse than harden?

does john wall make bradley beal THAT MUCH BETTER or does he have a career backcourt running mate locked in?

i'd trade any 5 players on OKC right now for beal. including adams.

cp3.....has.....3 all-star caliber players...on his roster....and gets bounced....from the playoffs....by inferior teams.....notoriously......

russell westbrook has been further in the playoffs, more consistently than both of them.

leading this team to a 5 seed is more impressive than naysayers want to admit

this team would have won 10 games without russell.

don't believe me...

read what enes kanter has to say
https://www.theplayerstribune.com/enes-kanter-russell-westbrook-nba-mvp-2017/

says he's never been so open in his life.

also scored 0 points in an elimination game....

DC would blame russell for this.

even enes kanter blames himself, tho.

LOL

"i'm more open than i've ever been in my entire life"

zero points in an elimination game.


someone on twitter goes "russell went 5-18 from three. he shot them out of the game"

not robertson and olidipo, who combined for 5-24, for 14 points.....

russell outscored his starting 2 and 3.....from the 3 point line....shot better than them too.....


russell went for 47 on 42 percent shooting and it's his fault they lost by 6?

here is the scoring for OKC's elimination game...i have it memorized.

47,11,11,10,7,3,0,0,0.

you guys want to blame the man who scored 47.

not the guy who scored 11 on 11 shots. not the guy who scored 10 on 17 shots. not the guy who scored 3 on 7 shots. not the guy who scored 0 on 2 shots.

none of those guys are at fault.

only russell.

like i said on twitter


a bad shot from russell westbrook is OKC's best option.

that sounds pretty sad to read, doesn't it?

who was he supposed to pass shots up for?

robertson was being LAUGHED AT on the free throw line.

LAUGHED AT.

like AI and Lebron...

russell took a team of non-professionals to the playoffs.

look at the roster bron took to the finals and got swept.....

literally 90% of that roster was working regular 9-5s 3 years later lol...

non professionals.




yall go in on russell like him playing any different would have given OKC a better chance at winning

they have nobody on that roster

adams is the only guy who could start for another team today

olidipo and kanter are so good their teams LET THEM WALK....


yall seem to think westbrook does this because he is a jerk or a ballhog or irrational or whatever

like AI, i know he plays this way because IF HE DOESNT SHOOT THE BALL THE SHOT AINT GETTING PUT UP....PERIOD.

his teammates should be ashamed of themselves. I PROMISE its not a single dude in the OKC locker room thinking like yall...."man if russell wasnt such a hog and gave me reps in pressure situations i wouldn't have sucked." nobody is thinking that except people GRASPING and REACHING to discredit the man.

fact is, if russell wasnt on that team, they'd struggle to get out of the lottery

So does anyone have a real explanation for the 6pm start time?

Two Eastern conference games that TNT had rights to air that had to happen on the same night. East games don't usually start past 8:30(excluding finals) so to fit two you'd have to start early
 
cant front i just found out about the players tribune last night

lol

site is FIRE

comm and journalism majors sweating bricks.
 
also, remember at the beginning of the season, when everyone said "man, if russy gets OKC to the playoffs, you GOTTA give him the MVP"?

nah? just me?

he got them to a 5 seed in the west.


LOL

LOL if you think players are actually writing all that
Click to expand...

i'm sure they have editors

but why wouldn't they be able to write?

dion waiters (the above story) seems like he legit wrote it.

maybe someone else typed it and edited it....

but i'll take that over any of the people ESPN just gave pink slips to......

every article i read on there was exponentially better than anything i've read from any non-athlete.



jamal crawford's article on shot creators....what makes you think he didn't write it? cause it's articulate?
 
@eNPHAN are you seriously asking if Wall made Blanche, McGee and Swaggy better in comparison to what Russ did this season?

Wall was a rookie with that team. Completely unfair comparison.

You also said Russ has consistently been deeper in the playoffs then Wall.

Yeah with KD on his team. Wall has never had a KD as a sidekick. Another completely unfair statement.
