Russ doesn't get the credit he deserves he makes so many sacrifices for each team he's joined since leaving OKC and no matter what he always gives you his all
So why he didn’t sacrifice play time for the lakers? They woulda been better had he came off the bench and ran the second unit like they wanted. He doin the same shit now
He did! The issue was them being cheap and bron/ad getting hurt. They just had to wait 1 year to get Russ down 1-10 mill. I still can’t believe they didn’t buy shooters. Lebron and Russ both suck without 3 pt shooters. Ain’t no team winning with Bron or Russ playing SG.
@@mikehawk401the lakers problem wasn’t Russ coming off the bench or starting it was having Russ, ad, and bron as your 3 stars but not building the right team around them like if you gonna have bron, AD, and Russ on the same team u need minimum hood/elite shooters the lakers had guys who couldn’t shoot 3s at all or was a wishy washy shooter
@@mikehawk401 but he did exactly that...... did you watch the games? the only different between russ now and then was his level of effort he sacrifced the same coming off the bench and being not even a top 2 option. Now he hustling and playing his best defense in years while on the lakers he was complacent and fine coming off the bench but he didnt try
@@Its_Shaq Fair enough. I'm from LA luckily so I was able to grow up rooting for the Lakers and Kobe, but when I think about it I can't blame u for becoming a Lakers fan because of kobe... i would've probably done the same if I was going for another team. Rip Goat 🐐
The point needs to be made that Russ was playing well with PG and Kawhi and harden wasn’t. With the lakers he wasn’t clicking with Lebron so it made sense for him to go to the bench. With the clippers he was playing pretty good and harden is the one who wasn’t clicking. Russ did the admirable thing. Shout out to him, hope it works out for em!
Harden been avg 10 assist for 5 years now on 4 different teams , they went on that 6 game losing streak cuz the coach was smoking rocks , how was harden suppose to get his play style and assit in when you have Paul and kawhi and pj tucker all age 34+ and aren’t known for cutting and another 35 year old WB that can’t shoot and the center can’t shoot Jesus 🤦♂️
@@Snipergangehe wasn’t needed in that line up in the first place.. and if they could use him he should’ve been more of a traditional 2 guard and let Russ handle
Harden Westbrook and Paul George all have a chance to win a ring as long as Kawhi is healthy it's unlikely but this is their chance to lose all that bad rep of not winning a ring and put them all in the top 20 all time conversation. Legacies are on the line come this postseason.
As a Russ fan from Wilmington, Delaware, thank you Gil for bringing up the Bones Hyland, bizzy is a city hero, and he a Dawg, you gottta find minutes for him!!
The Media doesn’t want to talk about how good they been playing . Waiting for a bad stretch to have “ I told you so “ negative segments . Hoping the clips find a way to come out the west
I think its deeper. Westbrook already played with all three men before and understood that it was best to let those 3 men gel together and then he find his place in the middle. While also letting the other young players get more PT.
@@TheDp211 He sure is. Funny how every place he's every been raves about how great of a teammate is, it's the so called analysts and fans wanna call him some kind of cancer and problem.
Russ looked great out the gate. The way he was playing, he looled primed for a comeback, possibly allstar season. Harden should have came off the bench from the start. The Clippers did him a favor. I doubt they wpuld have experienced that early lull, but it was a learning experience.
No one has ever done what russ has done. Now he wants a ring. He’s fine financially, and he’ll be a first ballot hofr for being the only player to ever average a triple double through 4 seasons. This dude doesn’t get the respect he deserves
As a lifelong Lakers fan, I never agreed with us getting him. I didn't think he could make us better or worse starting. But he was making too much money for the Lakers to have that bench. If he was under his current contract with us this year, I think he'd be getting the same props. But at the end of the day he isn't going to be the reason why the clippers lose or win a chip, but he will be a contributing factor.
Yes give russ credit for going to bench. Kawhi deserves more credit for establishing himself as the best player on the team. Kawhi took the lead and the offense is running through him. You clowns were saying iguodala was better the other day. Start by apologizing for that laughable comment.This team will go as far as Kawhi can take them.
Can you imagine these dudea giving everyone else but Kawhi. Without Kawhi these dudes are nothing. Kawhi is everything. Westbrook, Harden, PG shouldn't be the first story. Kawhi is the leader of the team. When he speaks they listen, when he plays they follow his lead. The fact that he keeps getting disrespected is appalling. He's injured, they've lost by 60 combined points and the rest of them played. Oh OKC was a schedule loss 5 games in 7 days. PG did nothing in both games against OKC and Boston same goes for Harden and Westbrook. The story isnt about these guys. Its a Kawhi story. PG, Westbrook, Harden, Lowry are the worst playoffs performers of recent times and Kawhi has played with all of them which means he has to play elite at all damn times shooting 60/50/90!!! Any less they lose. 49/37/87 shooting splits Clippers were losing!!!
Russ was also able to sacrifice since he's already maximized his earnings. Harden is still fighting for one last big contract, but Russ already got his
@@kurn4l556stop what ? He’s the most efficient, most active in defense through all 5 positions, most clutch (still) and the best player on the team lol
As a coach. Mother fuckerz that embrace coming off the bench are key to success. It is the coaches responsibility to convince the second squad of their importance to the success of the team. It's a culture a coch😢has to establish in training camps...
I agree with this sentiment. RUSS SAVED THE CLIPPER’S SEASON!!!! I was a big BONES fan since VCU. This all on him. He was getting good rotation mins with the NUGGETS and then he asked for a trade. Now he getting ZERO with the CLIPPERS. Also missed out on a chip
I'm watching Bones at the start of the season, and I'm liking what I'm seeing...a lot! I was already Team Westbrook and totally hyped about what this season was going to look like...then the Harden trade happened. My team is the Sixers, so I was glad he was going, but I didn't want him to come to the Clippers. I moved to L.A. before Magic did, so the rumors about this being a Laker town are painfully true. That being said, the second I heard PG wanting Russ to come to the Clippers, I was all for it. The seismic destruction resulting from the Clippers getting their first championship before the Lakers get their next one AND Russ is right there is something I want a front seat for. Bones needs to play, Russ needs a chip.
Westbrook and PG13 are two of my favorites all-time. And I would love for them to both have titles. Just can't root for the Clippers lmao...I need them to go somewhere else.
they got blown out last 2 game without Kawhi. PG and Westbrook can't even make the clippers competitive with out Kawhi on the court. Kawhi on the other hand makes the team win, even when PG sits out. What did i say was wrong@@dkmrap1
@@AhNu11the clippers still have Harden, Pg, Powell, and Russ. They should be fine without kawhi. It just shows how good Kawhi is that they can’t win without him.
That’s exactly how I feel about Beasley in Milwaukee…No way he should be starting.. his defense is hurting Milwaukee in that front court bad and griffin keeping in in the starting lineup pissing me off
Kawhi mvp play is the reason for clippers success. Not to long ago these bums was comparing kawhi to iguodala. They cant even mention kawhi when talkin clippers
Nah ty did right, he kept it real with bones, we need guys who can defend and score.. and bones can def score but he don’t play defense.. if James harden is actually trying 95% of the time on defense bones has to give a better effort
These guys have absolutely no idea what they are talking about re: Bones. Look at the guard rotation and tell me who he is going to play over right now. Harden, Russ, PG, Mann, Norm. There are just way too many guys ahead of Bones right now on the guard depth chart.
T Mann a way better piece than Pj Tucker. Everything Gil said Pj would do T Mann already doing lol. Pj been washed the last 5 seasons yall not watching the games man😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂 no its not Russ will have 5 great plays then follow up with 3 bad plays he doesn't control or manage the game. Plus his inability to shoot makes defenses load up on other players
Russ did what was obvious....Ty Lue let them figure it out on the court so no pride or egos were crushed. Recognize game and do what's best for the team. 🏂
Lol at the narrative and I understand why. Russ was going to the bench and everyone with any sense including Russ knew it. 1 person is making 3 million the other 34 million. There is no way you can justify benching the guy making 30 million more. Before they benched Russ people said Harden should be benched. Those people either don't know basketball or just biased for Russ. Russ is the same player he was with the Lakers and his stats before Harden joined proves it. I would like to see Russ with a young team or team like the Pacers that run run run.
Idk bro. I’m sure the Owner is making sure Russ is good off the court so he ain’t bitchin. U can’t tell me Russ took that small of a contract and not get money off the books.
