    So, Wizards up again tonight. Another triple double and a loss?

    Something totally different like maybe more points than shot attempts from Russ?

    It makes so much sense now: The culture in Houston was bad or toxic for Russ because our system wouldn't allow him to hunt for triple doubles.

    The reality is that Russell Westbrook was used to being catered to in OKC and was used to how they did things there. When Westbrook wanted to change something, the Thunder did it. When he came to Houston, he no longer was the top dog and he did not know how to handle that......... and that is why he wanted to be traded.

    Just wondering, do most of yall dislike Russ the basketball player for his skillset/type of player he is or is it because of his time on the Rockets?

    Generally speaking, he is a good player and he has dropped his efficiency I guess in the past 3 maybe 4 years? I can get the frustrations because it makes him seem like a glory hunter for numbers instead of W's.

    I just remembered a time were ALOT of people maybe not on this board, really did like him for his competitiveness and the type of things he has done on the court/overall ball player he is.

    If I had to criticize him it would be now at the stage he's at he has to adjust his game, I think he did that a bit here, but like others have pointed out he doesn't seem to have it in him to truly change, which is a shame since I do think he is one hell of a ballplayer.

    Just my two cents, he has been my favorite player in the league for a while, since A lot of my Rocket favorites are gone now, just want to get a better Idea on why people dog him on here lol.

    They hate Russ because he “stole” Harden’s MVP years ago and (to that same end,) the media loves him (and “makes excuses for him”) while “hating” on Harden.

    Same thing with Steph and Giannis.

    Personally i've never been high on Russ because i always saw him pretty much like Dwight, they could've been much better players if only they would've focused on doing what they do better, but instead Dwight for some reason though he had to play like Dream and Russ thinks he has to play like Kobe.

    Aside for that, i always respected his competitiveness, although the stat pad stuff looks kinda embarassing, i mean, a lot of top players if not all of them do that kind of stuff, especially when they have interest in getting the MVP, but they way Russ does it is a bit too much for my taste, not that it matters in the end, but still, like i said, watching a guy literally focusing on assists and rebounds (stealing them from teammates) in one half, and on scoring in the other, is...i don't know, not what you should do to win.

    I thought Washington would be a 36 win team...I might need to bump that down to 32

    this team looks atrocious

    if Bradley Beal doesn’t request a trade at some point this season, then u really gotta question him

    putting up 30 as your team wins 30 games is meaningless
