ehhh...i get it

tbh...westbrick is just a corny ass nickname imo, but...i get where he coming from

The death threats to his family I 100% understand. The Westbrick shit he needs to just let it go. That's part of what comes with being in the league. It's better than being called Tristan Kardashian.

What exactly can Westbrook have done to a fan that calls him Westbrick? I think the NBA would have problem on their hands if they start kicking fans out of the game for shit like that.

I know you not calling for that. I was just asking your opinion on Westbrook saying he's going to nip it in the bud and something is going to have to be done. It's not like Westbrook is going to fight a fan over saying. That would fuck shit it up for him more than the fan.

Most names made up by fans about players don't like is corny. Westbrick ain't the funniest shit but it's fitting for a gunner who bricks a lot of shots.

Don’t expect him to be a version of Indy Oladipo because he won’t have the reps combined with rust and just the team dynamic but what guys like caleb and Vincent do defensively is what makes Heat fans so comfortable with them. Gabe is an actual 3 and D threat and Caleb can guard 1-4

Vic was never bad defensively but idk if I can trust him coming off injury and slowly ramping up to be an intense defender

But as far as being a bench scorer and playmaker? Shiiiit him and Herro can combine for 40 points off the bench a night

they combined for 42 last night

Gabe Vincent in 3 mins scored 7 points lol he stays ready. It was garbage time but it wasn’t garbage time shots

The question with folks like Gabe and Caleb is can they do it on the playoffs when the opposing team has a game plab specificially around how to take them out a game.

The answer might be yea they can still do it in the playoffs, the problem though is you will only find out when its happening.

Thats the risk with young role players.

Vic on the other hand, if he shows he can still play, i would trust him more.

But thats contingent on him showing me could play, which after all this injuries and the fact theres only a bit over a month left of the season, probably aint enough time.

@AZTG RJ numbers
Since January 2nd
25 games 37 mpg 24 ppg, 3.7 apg, 6.1 rpg, 2.4 TO. 42.7% FG, 39.1% 3ptFG (attempting 6 per game too, so no low sample bias).

Also we can't give up on this kid lol

Preciate you fam!

Those are great numbers for RJ. Like he could max out like this and id be happy.

That said, hes gonna keep improving. He needs to get his FG% to around 47%. With that said, shooting at 39% from 3 on 6 attempts a game means hes actually way more efficient than his 43% would show, but still.

Add another assist a game, and have some of those points come from a consistent pull up jumpers, and we finally got our franchise cornerstone.

Wildy enough, hed probably be averaging 25.5-26ppg if he could hit 82-85% of his fts.

We got one my bro!

Fair enough but for what gabe and caleb can be relied on more than anything is defense

and that is one thing you can’t say you don’t know about because of lack of experience

but I would lean on trusting them more than a guy who has played 92 games since 2018-2019
 
AP I’m confused by your posts

You said you get where Russ is coming from but then said you think the name Westbrick name is corny…

so are you siding with Russ because you think the name is corny?
 
Isn't Westbrook the name of a slave master?

@Ironman

Fam my issue with Quick isnt that he goes through slumps. Hes a young player on a bad team, im cool with him slumping at times.

My issue with Quick is how he plays.

Hes a chucking ass mfer and im tired of it.

To be fair to him, he wont have the ball in his hand as much when rose is back, which is for the best.

Hes a sparkplug off the bench, which is ok, but sometimes he over does it.

Playing with McBride this week has changed that. He becomes more of a shooter like he is supposed to be
 
Russ only cares cause he playing like ass. When he was playing well & wearing Gordon Gartrell fits and they was calling him that he nor the fam had no care in the world. Nigga ain’t have no epiphany, just playing like butt.

This is all deflection. Playing for the Lakers means your in a pressure cooker. He just can’t handle it. It is what it is. No need for spin
 
He also has been passing way better but I admit he takes wild shots sometimes but in the Clips and Kings game he was controlled. Pushed the pace and played decisively which also helped Randle cut loose in the paint.

to your point, i dont think there's anything he can do unfortunately

if im him, i would try to trademark the shit or something and turn it into a bag. Maybe that will lessen the sting a bit...idk
