Pure entertainment level.... this guy is a walking highlight reel, every game watching him is like an all star game. The guy is so athletic and crafty it’s amazing to watch. he was on fire during the Celtics game At the end of the day of coarse you want your team to win the championship but as a fan we watch our teams for that daily entertainment that they bring us. It’s so nice to have a superstar again that can bring excitement and get the crowd amped up. so win or lose this year I can really appreciate the energy and highlight plays this guy brings. CP3 was worth it.
Could not agree more!! Would be beautiful if Rockets would add some players that will run as hard in transition with Russ. C'mon MOREY!!!!!!!
remember i was saying i would of brought in brewer n people laughed. i hated brew at the end too. but i know he would run with russ
Agree with Brew and even Faried when Russ first brought in. But now Rockets need energy guys that can shoot 3ball, run with Russ and switch everything on defense. Neither Brewer or Faried are fit options anymore.
Omari Spellman is better fit. Shoots 3ball at 39% this season. Would also sign Biyombo if bought out but he could only play when Russ not on court.
Westbrook is the only one on the team that gives 100 percent every game. Hr never gives up. At least Westbrook makes this a fun game to watch. Win or lose, Westbrook is the real leader on this team.
It's fun watching him all of a sudden blow by his defender and get a dunk or layup like he tapped some sort of turbo boost button in the sole of his shoe.
Russ's sparing no effort in every single game, adding up to his athletism, passion, and showreel dunks, okc fans got no reason dunt give him warm stand-up ovations when he back to energy arena. Even Kobe and AI got no hesitation to compare russ w/ them in terms of passion. Kobe AI (a long clip,i remember in this one ) btw, one of my question hovering there is, russ and 'flash' dwyane wade, who is faster…
Russ putting in 100% effort every game is precisely why we need to load manage him in the regular season. But ya, he's exhilarating to watch.
Keeping him out of the back to backs will not be enough. James should still be the leader by example even if he isn't as vocal. We will still lose games when the opponent is having a big guy and their shooters shooting better than 45-47% and 36% from 3.
the scoring woes of Austin rivers forces any coach in his right mind to play Westbrook more regardless of the outcome. Austin rivers leaves u with no choice but to play Westbrook 38 minutes because you might get blown out playing Austin rivers too long.
He is a joy to watch. Never question his heart. Never question his toughness. Never question if he left it all out there. Never question if he's drunk, went to the club, has a concussion or quit. Keep on keepin' on GOATBROOK!
