Telling the truth about westbrook is like telling a cult member they're in a cult. They get so defensive lmao

[tolietfever]

Not gonna lie Rashad asking the right questions

[michaelokon]

Okc in 2016 was definitely a championship team they had the 73-9 warriors down 3-1 😂

[Just_Tim]

All these excuses damn I agree with Rashad

[isaiahisaiah]

When Gil starts yelling, you know he's losing the debate!💯 Brandon Jennings stays getting emotional in every debate smh 🤦🏿

[Saveahorse]

Gil sounded like Russ's mom. My baby does his best.

[SosaaaBrady]

Gilbert mentioned everything he brings to a team and none of it was basketball. And that’s the point, he’s not very good anymore

[aundraythomas]

People refuse to look at Russ game and be honest, you can mention how he speeds the game up but who cares when he dont finish half the time and he turns the ball over, its not hate, its how he plays, explosive dont matter when u dont score💯, if people say carmelo washed then so is russ...

[michaelokon]

Why are Gil and BJ so scared to criticize Russell westbrooks skill they keep blaming the team and put zero blame on him 😂

[ronhawkins]

What they never say about that Lakers team is that after Russ got traded they IMMEDIATELY turned it around and went to the WCF finals

[jonb]

Remember when people blamed the Lakers for Russ being bad and said he would be great after he left LOL.

First off, the Thunder were favored against the Heat. Use GOOGLE and look it up, Gil.
MORE IMPORTANTLY:
Durant with Westbrook=Losing in the Finals. Durant with Curry=Winning in the Finals.
Harden with Westbrook=2nd round. Harden with CP3=Conference Finals.
PG with Westbrook=First round. PG with George Hill=Conference Finals. PG with Reggie Jackson=Conference Finals
Lebron and AD with Westbrook=Missed the playoffs. Lebron and AD with D'Angelo Russell=Conference Finals.
I've never heard of an allegedly great point guard who played with star players who were all MORE SUCCESSFUL playing with a different point guard. He's going to the HOF but he's not a WINNING player and it's not a mortal sin to admit it.

I used to not like Rashad’s viewpoint. But he brings a balance

[Hasani]

Is Gilbert kidding?? OKC was literally about to win the chip in 2016 when they blew the 3-1 lead. Did he forget about that?? And there were MULTIPLE times in OKC besides that when they were competing for a ring also.

[SecondNone]

I agree with Rashad! For the very first time in history I agree with him

[akeemgriffith]

You can't put Russ in the starting line up when you already lack shooting 😂

[Tumeg]

Not sure if they bring it up, but what about when he was in Houston he was definitely suppose to be the "upgrade" to cp3.

[sejiroagosa]

What The HELL Is Gilbert Talking About? OKC Made It To The Conference Finals 4x With Russ & KD There…And Their 2016 Team Was Arguably The Best Team In The League And Up 3-1 On The 73-9 Warriors. And That Not Even Counting The 2012-2013 Season When They Won 60 Games And Lost In Round 2 To The Grizzles 4-1, Granted Russ Got Hurt…These Guys Are Entertaining But Do A Lot Of Chatting…

I don't often, but I am siding with McCants on this. He is right! RW is brought in to help a team contend. Heck we can argue that he and beal should have been able to contend on that wizards team. They didn't have enough, though.

With the Lakers it was partially him and bad coaching. I think if he agreed to come off the bench his first year there it could have worked well. Because they would have a decent bench unit with him and Melo (forgot who else was on the team lol). But also Bron and AD were hurt so they couldn't figure things out so that year is not anyones fault.

After that, he agreed to come off the bench, but his confidence was shot. With the Clippers it was really good until they got Harden, which anyone would make the trade for if they were in a position to, but I think that killed Russ' trajectory there. Plus injuries.

Hope he finds his groove on this team or it may be the end for his NBA career. He will still live a beautiful life though.

Russ should have went to Miami 5 years ago. He is the perfect fit and they needed his structure
