Russ just seems miserable to be around, both on and off the court

I’d rather put up with LeCry’s shite than play with Westbrook.

I don't get the whole "he lives in OKC". He probably lives in LA, like almost every player in the league. Basketball isn't year round. I know lots of people that split the years overseas, in the field or out west. They don't ever claim to live in those places..

He woulda gone To LA if he was gonna be the franchise player. Once lebron went there that spot wasn’t appealing anymore. you can’t win with Russ. But being the second guy in LA to lebron would have to be even worse. No credit. All the blame when you lose. No stroke in the locker room or organization.

Well that's just false. Lebron is a much better player than Russ. They can most likely get out of first round at least.

Lol ask Bosh Wade and Kyrie if they felt appreciated by Lebron, I'm sure theyd all say the same thing.

A guy like PG. top 10 player In the world. He thinks he can win anywhere. what he won’t stand for is not getting his credit and shouldering all the blame. PG is not unique In not wanting to play with lebron. You can probably name 10+ star level players who have chosen not to play with lebron over the last few years.

Imagine you start you career. You a little peon. Lots to prove. You work you way up and now you are director. Senior manager. Would is sound enticing to you to wanna go be a peon somewhere and have lebron as your boss man. Where he will get the credit for the work you do? Nah bro. That doesn’t sound appealing to many people at all does it.

Another horrible analogy by you.

Paul George would have had more success playing with Lebron this year than Russ. Hes a much better player. And credit? Cmon man. Kyrie got credit for beating GSW and going off in the Finals. So did DWade when they won their two titles. Lebron was just better than them so he got a little more credit.

But they dont mean Kyrie and DWade's performances aren't forgotten. Maybe to casuals like you. Real hoops guys know what's up with those things.

They'd probably have been just as good with PG as OKC is, and he wouldn't have to live in OKC.

So would all the other guys who spurned lebron. They are willing to pass on it. Bc they want to be the man in their org. And believe they can win without lebron. When I told you bums last year hardwn didn’t want him y’all thogujt that was the craziest thing you had ever heard. now damn every star level player in the league has either said he doesn’t wanna play with lebron or chosen to go elsewhere.

I'm sure he does regret joining his favorite team growing up the Clippers

Thunder has the lead with a few minutes left and Westbrook comes down and takes out of control shots multiple times in a row, all while running 0 clock off.

Donovan should've pulled him, he's absolutely terrible late in games and seems to have zero basketball IQ.

As much as I don't like Durant, I can see why he left. It's gotta be really frustrating playing with Westbrook.

Especially when guys like PG and Schroder are shooting 70% for the game and only getting have the shots Westbrook gets, while he is shooting 30%
