Russ was cooking on the clippers too though. They just burned their depth for harden, then russ injured his hand and went from bad to awful in shooting at the end of the season. The bright spot in the playoffs was seeing how effective his defensive play had become.
In Russ We Trust 🐐
Guys.. Jok will be tired. Give him some big man help!
jAMAL PLAYER OF THE GAME??? U DONT DESERVE JOKIC …
It got to be funky
I’m still butthurt about Saric. Any hope for him to figure it out? Thoughts?
Christian "Gary Harris" Braun
Voter fatigue even exists in house 🙁
I have watched basketball for over 40 years. What the reserves did in the first 3 and a half minutes of the second quarter is the worst play I have ever seen. A bunch of under 9s would have played better. They had to bring Jokić back 2-3 minutes too early and keep him on for too long (again). He visibly tired in the third quarter. There are of course tons of positives: CB, Russ looks inspired and up for it, and Murray was ace. But this incompetent play cannot continue – you need to give Jokić proper breaks.
They lost last season because Murray was awful, it’s pretty simple.
Enjoy while it last gentlemen, 40 minutes per game for Jokic will not last for long. AGAIN no bckp center for him to rest, it is DISSASTER waiting to happen.
Im starting to think yhe only way to survive with the bench is if Jokic is the one staggering 😂😂
He and 4 bench guys. He makes everyone better they will survive and 4 starters and 1 bench should be okay as well (if not it would be really emberessing) and the rest of time just starters.
🤦♀️🤦♀️😂😂
I thought it was telling that Jokic brought the ball in after heat basket and passed it yo pwatt and not Jamal. Pwat ran fast with it. Jamal had no choice but to run faster to join
What game does Nikola get that 20 20 20 triple dub
When playoffs come, this bench folds like…well…a lawn chair. We gotta change this or we repeat last years early exit
Bench. Bench. Bench. Jokic doesn’t need to play these minutes first two weeks of season.
Wtf. GET A BACKUP center.
40 minutes of Jokic ain't it bros
Russ >>>> Mal is a bum…Jokic in playoffs mode early in this season he will get tired mid or late this season 100% ..Its kind over 1st round playoff exit or play in this year..Free Jok
I agree with D line. Christian braun just already is an upgrade over KCP. No dirsrespect to kcp since we win a chip with him and he definitely was and still is valuable. He has great d and is an very efficient shooter. However we need to consider the fact that CB already evolved almost to as an effiecient 3 point shooter maybe not like KCP was at peak but he doesnt need to because he has in many ways better d and how he finishies is just incredible. And dont forget i cant remember amny games kcp went off over 16 points and especially not over 20 points, which cb already had many at the start of the season. Dude will maybe average over 20 points with incredible D. CB IS a upgrade no question. Imagine him at the end ot the season man.
Jokic efficiency taking a hit because you're allowed to foul the shit out of him😢
Cuts lead to more assists than threes. CB,Pwat, westbrook effect (even though pwat has sold like 5 dunks😂)
Joker is front runner for league MVP aand Russ is the frontrunner for 6th man of the year.
per 36 mins for Russ and harden last season
Westbrook 18 pts, 7.9 rebounds, 7.1 assists.
Harden 17.3 pts, 5.4 rebounds, 8.9 assists.
Westbrook averages 22.4 mins as backup mostly playing with bench unit, Harden 34.8 mins as starter playing with PG and Kawhi for majority. These numbers prove that Russ is just as good if he was playing with Pg and Kawhi
Russ was hoopin on the clippers they forget 2023 he balled out had the perfect role the issue is Harden came and it ruined his job.
Jokic plays better this year because this summer he had to play basketball 🤣
Jamal only looks good becoz of jokic. Trade jamal
Only as fast as the slowest player and i think Russ has been speeding the boys up
