Wizards had 50 team assists, and Russ had half of them.whatchaknow wrote:Can we stop posting these stat lines like they’re incredible? There was almost 300 points scored in this game lol. Sure the stat line is great but let’s put some context on it. Wiz had 50 team assists for crying out loud, 210 total shots between the 2 teams like my god the pace of this game was stupid.

Yes after nipsey hussle died so he did that in honor of the rolling 60s. 20x20x20

Pretty sure you guys love to shower him in credit...

This is very interesting discussion. What I mean is the all-nba discussion, for this year. I don't think he is first team, since in my opinion you want to reward winning. But we know he missed all-star game so does he have a chance to be on 3rd or 2nd team?
Guys who compete for all-nba honors this year on guard spots (did I miss someone?):
Doncic (58 games)
Lillard (59 games)
Curry (56)
Harden (42)
Irving (48)
Beal (55)
Booker (60)
Paul (63)
Mitchell (53)
Brown (58)
Young (56)
Westbrook (57)
Does missed games by Harden and Irving hurt them, does guys like Brown, Mitchell, Young, Paul get traction for such awards?
Can a guy averaging 22/11/11 on 44% shooting miss all-nba honors?

I keep waiting on Skiles' 30 assist record to be broken.
Wouldn't put it past Westbrook.

Yeah, I know he is inefficient with too many missed shots and turnovers, but his relentless energy is infectious. Also, his assists are legit. He's not just driving and kicking for contested jumpers, he feeds the big men for dunks time and time again. He has made Alex Len, Robin Lopez and Daniel Gafford all look like All-Stars.

The reason why I’m not as impressed by the numbers as one would expect when looking at such insane numbers comes down to the difference in effort between him and everyone else.
I absolutely give him credit for giving 100% all the time, but I also look at the competition not giving close to 100% and while that’s not Westbrook’s fault, it does skew my view of the stats
I also look at games like tonight, 154-141 in regular time
Sabonis with 32pts, 19 rebs & 9 assists
LeVert with 33, 7 & 5
McConnell with 15, 9 & 8
Seeing so many guys have big games makes me assume without having had the chance to watch the game that it was very high paced with very low effort on defense
