Jokic physically preventing Russ from touching the ball is absolutely hilarious how has that not been memed already? It's like a parent trying to teach their child.
They were talking about him during the broadcast saying he does other things on the court that makes him valuable to the team, but I just didn’t see it. He turned it over a couple times in key spots, can’t shoot as a guard in the modern nba….. get him off of rosters immediately. He’s done.
@@lucendelplantin2839 the athleticism he had early in his career masked a lot of the inadequacies he faces on the offensive end.

As any Rockets, Lakers or Clippers fan can tell you, NEVER play Russ in crunch time. Russ is bad all the time, but playing him in crunch time ,watching him demolish your favorite team's 10 point lead with reckless passes, bricks and hero ball is a singular agonizing experience. I tried to warn Nuggets fans during the off season they'd be screaming to ban Russ from the floor 20 games in, but fans are always hopeful.
@@PetarZorić-k3b I 100% believe russ wouldn't see last 4 minutes of this game if Jamal Murray was healthy. The only value Russ can bring to any team is his play making and like Coach Nick said his ability to get offensive rebounds as a guard. In a half court slow setting, he is absolutely USELESS because dude can't shoot and can't hit the ocean from a boat.
Lakers and clippers suck without Russell Westbrook as well. The thing is that you play him only when you have to depend on him. Play him as the first option in the second unit in this case. But in the match, without Murray and Pope(just left), they have very bad spacing anyway and it would not really help much if he did not play. You may as well let him be russ and they would have had a better chance😂
they shouldve kept reggie jackson instead of putting him in that dum trade to Charlotte for a buyout.... they need to fire Calvin booth but stupid ownership trying to extend his contract smh
Man please…he’s a guard in the NBA since 2008…you work on your game…you can’t lack IQ, not have a jumper, AND turnover the ball…no excuse for that but feel how you feel…we might just be different and that’s ok lol
The Nuggets saw the Lakers destroy their hopes for two years by trading for Russ and they thought "Well at least he's a minimum contract." Just dumb but I love it
@@pbradics3670prime embiid is not better than jokic. The only thing Embiid has an advantage on Jokic is post defense and whining to the refs. All the rest goes to the Joker.
Russ is the type of player you have to show that he failed himself so he doesnt blame you. So playing him makes sense. Playing him this long in crunch time, doesnt make sense.
I feel like this was a chess move by Malone. He has shown and will show time and again the Russ is the reason why Russ loses his team's leads. Teach Russ and the nuggests team a lesson RUSS IS NOT CRUNCHTIME MATERIAL ,MVP BE DAMNED. thats the lesson.
@@fredm.2699 You're right, but you shouldn't be. Russ has always been such a baby. I've respected his play since he was a rookie practically, but this version of Russ is all the BS without much of this career-defining skill. It's a hard pass for me.
You couldn’t find a bigger Russ fan than me. For like 5 years straight I watched every OKC game and every Houston game in 19-20. I think that first stint with the Lakers really fucked him up mentally and destroyed his confidence. Even with Washington where he struggled at the start, once he was fully healthy, he played at a level comparable to his MVP season. He’s still super athletic, so it’s not like his drop off can be attributed to that. I remember even in the 2021-22 pre-season he looked like a totally different player compared to just a few months prior in May 2021. I’m not going to pretend and say he’s still a good player. I think he doesn’t get enough credit for his defensive play, but his offense as of recent has been worse than Andre Roberson. It’s like he has two left hands and just absolutely no feel for the game anymore which I think makes him unplayable. Every time he dribbles/shoots, it reminds me of when I try playing basketball right after lifting weights where I just have absolutely no feel or groove with the ball. Sucks that this is gonna be the legacy of one of the best point guards of the 2010’s (even Coach Nick would have to give him that one, no matter how many times Russ made him shake his head).
That first lakers season definitely crushed him cuz that was the first time he caught real hell from media and fans and ppl actually listened to it.He was big fish small pond in okc,houston,washington so they were happy just to have him but LA's a different breed and it chopped his ego down ALOT. I remember after a long while of backlash he started playing more reserved and docile I would even say that's how bad it got to him
Everyone wants to diss Rudy, it’s sad. Dude was clutch tonight. And he’s solid most nights, getting rebounds, blocks, and occasional dunks.

@@B.Piercesports Stat padding? You joking Bro was 1 assist shy of a tripple double for 2 games ago and had a whole quarter left He didn't care at all and stayed on the bench to give his teammates some playtime
Man whats going on with russ this has to be a rare case of a decline he still has his legs but it seems like his iq has went away, literally the opposite of other older players who lose their legs but keep the iq and skill part
The issue is Russ has never had a great IQ or skill. His athleticism covered up his flaws(postseason his flaws were noticeable). Once guys like him,John wall and D rose lost a few steps or even a step, theres a big drop off
Russ is very popular with lots of fans. He did this by playing fast all game to be entertaining. * Russ has a terrible 3 point shooting percentage for an NBA point guard. This is when 3 point shooting is essential. Except for brief bursts, Russ has never been a good shooter outside of the paint. * RW’s basketball IQ is suspect, especially on defense, because he has focused on padding his stats for so long. - Once teams figured out that RW was a problem, he turned to his many star friends in the NBA who for some reason wanted to play with Russ. Until these star players figured out that they cannot win a title with RW in a major role on a team.
He never had b ball iq......... this is the reason why Durant couldn't win a championship with him in okc....... Westbrook always played off his athleticism, he was extremely fast and physical and that was his bread and butter, driving to the paint constantly , now what your witnessing over the last few years is his athleticism is declining because he is getting older and he never learned how to play basketball the right way, so he is being exposed........ dude never had a consistent jumper, he didn't develop a three, and he was never a great passer, he was never a real point guard, he was a 2 guard masquerading as a point......... his triple double years on okc was just him ball hogging, stealing rebounds from his center Steven adams and padding his stats, forcing players he pass the ball to just shoot, so he can get a assist.... also Westbrook is horrible on defense.... I was never a fan of Westbrook game, however one thing that made me appreciate Westbrook the last 6 or 7 years, is that dude always show up to work, and he alays play hard....... comparing that to the players in the nba nowadays, who miss games and play lazy....
It seems like once you get on the bad side of the NBA writers/bloggers you can do no right. Same thing with Zach Levine and Brandon Ingram they all have their flaws but from what you read or hear they are worthless team killers
im convinced Westbrick was sent by the Lebron Camp to destroy Jokic legacy. i have no idea how any team could be this stupid to sign a guy who's career is over for nearly a decade now.
He was never really that good since he left OKC. Was ok in Housten and Washington, but he only put up empty stats. You can't win a championship with Russ as your 1st or 2nd best player, even in his prime.
Man things are tough for Jokic. Should Malone have played Strawther iso Russ down the stretch and have Gordon bring up the ball? Why isn't Trey Alexander getting opportunities? I mean, shouldn't he get at least 10 minutes from Russ as the backup PG?
Nothing tough for Jokic. It's either he demands his career-first all-star teammate traded to Denver right now, or he leaves for another team. Any other scenario is Jokic making things tough for himself.
@@maartenvz You're not so good in this English thing, are you. Highly probably nobody. Jokic will likely end his career playing with the total of zero all-star teammates.
Coach what do you think that teams should do to get the best out of Russ? Do you think they should limit minutes and not put him in clutch time? He seemed to do alright when he came off the bench for his previous teams but it still seems his bball IQ has diminished. His shooting doesn’t seem it improve and his shot selection is still horrible. If the coach pushes him to facilitate and run fast breaks in 2nd and 3rd quarters and crash the board for offensive rebounds I think he can be beneficial but idk if Russ himself likes to limit his own abilities…
They didnt trade anyone, they just didn't resign them, since they wanted too much money. Both went to mid tiers with young stars that had cap space to spend on role players. Russ is basically free
Brodie just needs to grab rebounds, make cuts and shoot wide open shots. Don’t force anything!! I see the hate he’s getting and just want him to do well.
Braun is my favourite young player in the league right now. I know he was a first round pick but he was a huge steal outside of the lottery. The nuggets do really well drafting good players. Rus on the otherhand is so washed up at this point and doesnt have high enough basketball iq to positively impact this team
Braun wasn't taunting Gobert, he wasn't even looking at him. Rudy just happened to be in the way. Russ is like Kobe, a cancer to his team with the occasional good game, but should be deferring to his teammates in order to be contenders.
@booJay please don't compare Russ and Kobe you casual. Kobe didn't have occasional good games, he was top 3 player in the league from 2001-2014 until he tore his Achilles and you are delusional if you think otherwise. And even after that, he wasn't nowhere nearly as atrocious as Russ for the last couple of years.
Westbrook should be playing for the bulls right now...... I know what russ should do 3 seasons before he does it every move rus has made after okc has been 2 seasons too late
its not only russ, this is not the 2023 champs nuggets, nore this is not even last years nuggets, the lost kcp, reggie jackson, bruce brown, they are just not deep enugh currently.
Question about Russ. Did he have the option to stay with the Clippers? They figured out how to use him the last two years. He should have stayed put if so.
You would expect westbrook is smarter with more experience. First he was guarding no one on 2:26, next play, jokic, who has less experience, needs to teach him a lesson.
I don't care if there isn't another PG on the team, literally anyone else would be better on the floor late in the game than Russel Westbrook. I even count Bronny.
russ just doesnt have the intangibles of like small ball pf, the closest guy he could emulate is draymond but the results are bad i dont watch russ film so tell me about russ thank u or like a dunker spot center where he should screen near the paint
Another vid where not mentioned one good thing about Russell Westbrook. The guy is playing his 17th year in NBA without learning anything and not beeing good about anything. That must be a world record. Jokic who is constantly very smart on the court must be dead wrong about Westbrook. I have three sons who wants to be national team level soccer players in near future. Im saying to them, training like Westbrook and you dont have any worries.. So thank you mr.Westbrook for your example. You are my hero. Im former track&fielder bball player and former couch(professional) too so I must know nothing about sports too.
Jokic physically preventing Russ from touching the ball is absolutely hilarious how has that not been memed already? It's like a parent trying to teach their child.

A center teaching a point guard 😮😮😮😮😮😮, a pinch of evidence that Jokic IQ is S+
Brodie just needs to grab rebounds, make cuts and shoot wide open shots. Don’t force anything!! I see the hate he’s getting and just want him to do well.
Braun is my favourite young player in the league right now. I know he was a first round pick but he was a huge steal outside of the lottery. The nuggets do really well drafting good players. Rus on the otherhand is so washed up at this point and doesnt have high enough basketball iq to positively impact this team
If you wanna win a championship you can't have Russ starting, simple as that
Braun wasn't taunting Gobert, he wasn't even looking at him. Rudy just happened to be in the way. Russ is like Kobe, a cancer to his team with the occasional good game, but should be deferring to his teammates in order to be contenders.
@booJay please don't compare Russ and Kobe you casual. Kobe didn't have occasional good games, he was top 3 player in the league from 2001-2014 until he tore his Achilles and you are delusional if you think otherwise. And even after that, he wasn't nowhere nearly as atrocious as Russ for the last couple of years.
Play Trey over Russ. Tyson over Watson and Nnaji over Saric
In the beginning you said Alexander walker. THAT WAS JADEN MCDANIELS GET IT RIGHT
Oh crap!! I was in a hurry,
Sorry
Jeez Jokic has to treat him like a little brother
Not even CBL wants the bricks now
Westbrook should be playing for the bulls right now...... I know what russ should do 3 seasons before he does it every move rus has made after okc has been 2 seasons too late
who's genius idea was to pair jokic's immense game IQ with russ's almost negative game IQ 😦
It works 🤓😉
I miss the old intros...😢
Westbrook will explode atomic in mid season....Nuggets for title 100%...
its not only russ, this is not the 2023 champs nuggets, nore this is not even last years nuggets, the lost kcp, reggie jackson, bruce brown, they are just not deep enugh currently.
Question about Russ. Did he have the option to stay with the Clippers? They figured out how to use him the last two years. He should have stayed put if so.
I think they were as frustrated as Malone must be now... which is why his mins had been cut to no more than 20 a game
You would expect westbrook is smarter with more experience. First he was guarding no one on 2:26, next play, jokic, who has less experience, needs to teach him a lesson.
I don't care if there isn't another PG on the team, literally anyone else would be better on the floor late in the game than Russel Westbrook. I even count Bronny.
Just won another game
Russ fits perfectly with nuggets
How embarrassing is it for Jokic to teach a "veteran" like Westbrook about basketball.
Jokic's IQ vs Westbrook's IQ is in the opposite of the spectrum
You meant to ask..Does RB fit with any NBA team? At any point in the past 5 years?
1:10 *HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAH HE 7tf tall and got scared of a 6'3 dude.....CLASSIC SOFT FRENCHY haahahhahhaha*
You know the Play is So Good when Moses Malone loses hid Composure 😂
As a Lakers fan, I feel the Nuggets' pain.
Nuggets deserve what they are getting, they need humbling
@@Pac38
They were only so cocky to rub it into the Lakers fans cuz they were so annoying
Everyone knows Lakers fans are the worst
russ just doesnt have the intangibles of like small ball pf, the closest guy he could emulate is draymond but the results are bad i dont watch russ film so tell me about russ thank u or like a dunker spot center where he should screen near the paint

Another vid where not mentioned one good thing about Russell Westbrook. The guy is playing his 17th year in NBA without learning anything and not beeing good about anything. That must be a world record. Jokic who is constantly very smart on the court must be dead wrong about Westbrook.
I have three sons who wants to be national team level soccer players in near future. Im saying to them, training like Westbrook and you dont have any worries.. So thank you mr.Westbrook for your example. You are my hero.
Im former track&fielder bball player and former couch(professional) too so I must know nothing about sports too.
