I would honestly think OkC fans would somewhat despise Russ. He ran off KD, and he will guarantee that the thunder never get any other stars, basically solidifying them never competing

Oh boy. Honorary Rockets fan for a day it seems.

HOU didn't play anywhere near their best ball but they were the clear better squad in the fourth quarter. Russ and his teammates as mentioned in OP just didn't get it done w the game on the line.

So if KD came through in the clutch in one of those final 3 games, and they beat GS and went on to win the Finals, you still think KD would have left?

If so, now THAT is a hot take.

If not, then you're basically conceding KD left to go to a team he knew had a better chance to win a title.

I just honestly don't really care for Westbrook that much

I think he is a phenomenal talent, but he plays a brand of basketball that is all about getting mine. I think there are multiple players that could put up fantastic stats while playing on a poor team and not achieving results.

KD's posse ran off KD. They were jealous of Russ.

KD bolted the first chance he could; Russ renogiatiated his deal to stay.

So you're wrong.

Like Dwyane wade said. Relationships matter. KD just didn't wanna play with him. And that sentiment is echoed around the league.

You listen to one interview saying Russ ran him outta town. The next interview zach Lowe talks to many NBA players and they all say they wouldn't wanna play with him.

Of course all if will take is one tho to potentially make Them a lot better.

Press conference:

Reporter: Pat, can you talk to us a bit about what Russell Westbrook said to you during that exchange that got you so upset?


Patrick Beverley: "That's actually the first time we've exchanged words this post season. But he's a really good player and puts a lot of pressure due to his athleticism and creating ability.

But nah it shocked me because he looked up and he said "nobody can guard me I got 40 points." And I'm like that's nice... it took you 34 shots to get it".

Lot of smoke that Russ was hurting KD's brand. Wish I was kidding.

Holy shite. If that's true, that is the absolute ducking exclamation point on why I don't like Russ

It's not. He only had about 27 shots when he actually said that. Westbrook had 34 for the whole game

Beverley just looked up the total shots for the game before he told the story, which makes him look like a liar.

How so? He just went to a team with a dude who won MVP back to back years.

I don't see how anyone can hate Beverly. I mean other than the people here who hate the Rockets.

I think the feeling was in a large market it wouldn't matter.

The 2 guys I know who work for the Thunder told from the getgo KD's whole demeanor changed towards the team when he signed with Jay-Z.

Saying shite like "you can't guard me" is something pretty much every good basketball player says at one time or another. Y'all really using that as a reason to hate westbrook? I feel like there are a lot of reasons to dislike him, but trash talk is pretty weak.
