Is there a player that lacks awareness more than Westbrook

[darkse1d]

Middle of the quarter and a play-in spot on the line and Russ is talking trash cause he made two 3s. Just before he sirballed a shot and just after making those he airballed another

Like dude why not just focus on the game and make sure your team wins.

Guess what happened. Lakers lose and Westbrook proceeded to start bricking .

Zero court awareness, zero bbiq, zero everything. But hey at least he gets to keep his name intact and earn 45 million.

[NyKnicks1714]

Yes...but no one who is consistently given the roles he is. It's mind-boggling.

Monk at times likes to meet Westbrook in the basement

I hope Russell seriously considers a post-nba career in masonry.

I had a feeling Westbrook would be getting blamed for this loss. Just curious how you feel about Lebrons awareness in a close almost must win game and he starts taking 3’s from Curry range

LeBron had a couple of bad moments, but if you somehow think LeBron was less valuable than Westbrook was tonight, I really don't know what to tell you. Basketball might just not be your thing.

Could you kindly link me to where I said that Lebron was less valuable than Westbrook? If not, reading might just not be your thing.

If I point out that Lebron was also making poor decisions that doesn’t mean I’m saying he had a bad game or he’s the worst or anything along those lines.

The Lakers are clearly not in with a chance if Lebrons not out there, he’s obviously the only reason they’re even competing for a play in spot, however that doesn’t mean those 2 long 3’s he took late in the game weren’t terrible decisions

Westbrick won me $300 tonight. I took him under and he was 0.8 under and CJ needed 1 more point and he fouled him at the last minute to give it to me and fouled out and avoided going over! Thanks Westbrick!

Do you actually think that fit is really that weird? It’s ripped jeans and two fairly tame shirts. Like legit, where are you from? That’s not even that off by like metro downtown standards in the 80s, much less now.

I wish I was making this up, but a few years back there was a fashion show inspired by the homeless (link below) and it seems Westbrook would fit right in on that catwalk. Also that guy on the right looks a little like Steve Francis

Hey now, vagabond fashion is the hottest trend in the market. Even the gypsies and Bohemian designers are jealous.

doesnt change the fact that lebron cost the game, not russ. russ barely did anything to rate him today.

Is it possible that Westbrook was terrible and that the 2 threes that I'm referring to by Lebron were also really bad shots considering what was on the line and the score at the time? Lebron also had 6 turnovers, yet if I had to choose between the 2 then obviously Westbrook was worse, but I don't see why that would mean we can't bring up the lack of awareness by Lebron considering the circumstances he didn't seem as focused or bothered as I would have expected

Just adding more to your points:
Lebron
eFG% was 63.4%
TS% was 67.2%
Westbrook
eFG% was 40.0%
TS% was 40.0%

Westbrook is making 44 millions dollars this year, and he's dressed like the guy who murdered Patrick Swayze in the movie Ghost.

Don't undersell it either. It's ripped jeans with a second pair of pants coming out of the bottom of his pant legs, and what looks like a giant shoelace in place of a belt. Expensive homeless guy look on top, tucked in, with thumb holes for his undershirt.

I may not be a liberal metrosexual, but I'm not a boomer living in the backwoods of some flyover state either. Everyone knows Russ fancies himself as a hyper-eccentric fashionista. I'm not even knocking him, but my point stands. Dude marches to the beat of his own drum.

[JN61]

I see LeBron fans have hard time grasping concepts of basketball. But hey just points matter. Especially ones that were padded earlier in the game.

[chilluminati]

To answer the original question. Yes, a lot.

Westbrook's issue is that he's mentally destroyed. A larger than life ego that's been deflated by his brand of basketball not translating into winning play. Due to that, he finds himself on 4 different teams in the span of 4 seasons. Between all of that and the public scrutiny that comes with being in LA, he's also regressing as most players do when they get older. Add it all up, and you have another AI story where he can't give up his previous MVP caliber ego and adjust/find a new way of playing. I could keep going with more issues, such as his fit on the team, and vogels inability to integrate him into a 3 star rotation, but there are many things playing against Russ (including himself).
