Russ really singlehandedly took it from a comfortable 10 point lead to a single possession game, hahahah

Never change Russ

Jokic and Murray need to play the whole game just to hold a lead.

If Nico was Nuggets GM he would probably find a way to trade Russ at the halftime mid playoffs. He has exceptional GM skills.

I cannot wait until Russ is off this team. His few hero moments are by far overruled by how many dumb decisions and turnovers he makes. I have zero idea why people continue to defend him.

Like Westbrook single handedly might have changed the momentum of this game..Thunder looked so dead and lethargic 5 mins ago

He would get back a single lottery ticket and hit the power ball tho…

Jokic makes the right play but it’s feast or famine with Russ


More like mediocre cafeteria lunch or famine

And Joker will get shot on if they lose because the bench completely destroys the lead they built

That was literally the worst 3 minutes of basketball i've ever seen by Westbrook. Dude is playing like he's on fire. Just slow it down, give it to Joker, and cut to the god damn basket. My god what was that dude trying to do out there, had essentially 5 turnovers in a row to end the 8th and kill the lead...

I love Westbrook but jesus christ bro, read the room. It's an elimination game, every single play goes through Joker no exception

He's played well this post-season for a guy on a veteran's minimum but this game has been an abomination.
