Anthony DePaola he really is bout that shit 😭 I've rarely seen a rookie ballin like this and with this confidence he's the man of his team while being a ROOKIE smh
Zay The Guru ever heard of help defense? Yea neither has Westbrook. He'd rather stick to rubios hip on the 3pt line. Learn the game before you make an idiot of yourself again with another comment like that
Westbrook plays like a talented 15 year old who can’t control his fucking emotions and is always going to put himself above the team. No team led by this guy could ever win a title
This kid Mitchell reminds me at times of Dwayne Wade, other times Allen Iverson and other times Derrick' Rose. He sure as hell is special though!!! Jazz in 5🔥
Aitor Navarro he reminds me of young kobe. But yeah all those names are big ones. He’s a good finisher at the rim,shoots well and has good shot selection ,and got handles. But i think the most impressive part is...he got 0 TO last night man! This guy is a roookie and he doesn’t make dumb decisions. It’s kinda we’re all waiting him to be what he should be...a really good rookie,but each game he’s more likely being a superstar of a very good playoff team
This kid is awesome. The only rookie with more points in his first 4 games is MJ with 117 to Donovan's 110. I've been a Jazz fan my entire life and games have never been this exciting. This is just the first round and the energy around this team rivals that of the back to back finals appearances of the Jazz in the 90's. And can I add a big Utah thank you to Gordon Hayward for his departure last season. He did it like a punk ass bitch the way he left the Jazz hanging last minute, but karma caught up with his ankle so the universe evened itself out. I hope he's watching this Jazz squad now.
This OKC team is filled with a bunch of FRAUDS. Westbrook is an actual hothead who should’ve been ejected like 2 different times tonight. This “super team” is getting outplayed by a rookie, a mechanic, and Ricky Rubio Oh yea, Westbrook talking about“imma shut that shit down”, but then gets beat like a drum. This guy was too selfish in tryna prove a point to Rubio that he forgot that Donovan Mitchell is the real threat.
Javian Johnson the wrong thing to do is look at them as just that in the first place... I've seen college professors beat some ass on a ball court, so who cares?
Unless you have LeBron, a fake super team usually don't work. I despise LeBron, but his selfish style of play (basically Magic on steroids... literally) is the ideal style for this kind of disgusting team.
My name? : Jeff Yeah, it can't be the fact that his game is more suited for the GS style of play. They play team ball. As you can see, OKC doesn't. They play like they're in MyPark.
My name? : Jeff would you like someone to tell you where you should or shouldn't go ? If you a man I would say hell nah, Durant knew exactly what everyone else is seeing from Westbrook now, he's "selfish" and I can't stand to be around niggas like that 💯 especially at work 😂
I’m not even an OKC fan (sheesh last team I’d ever root for) but Steven Adams didn’t deserve to get elbowed by crowder 😭 Adams has nothing but good sportsmanship man honestly the best in the league
Jazz fan here and I agree Adams is great I have so much respect for him, he is very underrated and he kept his cool when that happened. Id love to see him in a Jazz uniform or at lest get out of OKC
Infinite One Lakers with Payton and Malone still made the Finals, even though Malone was injured and Kobe was dealing with the Colorado trial. Nash and Howard Lakers were also injured all year. These OKC Thunder have no excuses to point to :/
ofc he was right, cause he win ring, other doesen matter. Durant scorer, he need true pg, true teamplay, when he would be wide open. But Westbrick is not true pg)
J Kemp Chris Mullin looked like he was playing Tai Chi Basketball and was still on the original Dream Team. People underestimate how much of winning basketball happens between the ears instead of above the rim..
Jazz has a great system, it suits each player perfectly and it allows all of them to flourish. Their ball movement and pick and rolls are well planned out. Got to give a tremendous amount of credit to their coach. Everyone wrote them off after losing Gordon Hayward. OKC on the other hand, has a horrible system. Everyone plays iso, there is no ball nor player movement. The big three has played a number of years in the NBA yet it seems as though they don't understand that the league has evolved. Iso ball is not going to work. PG is the only one who could play off the ball. Carmelo has struggled like crazy throughout the season. Russ plays one way and lacks basketball intelligence. I want to see them do well but playing this type of basketball int going to get you past the first round.
because okc doesn't have any game plan, the system is Westbrook ballhogging until he finds someone for an assist or take a shot/drive, it's not that impressive that he averages around 10 assists per game with such high usage rate, and it's even less impressive when it comes with 5 turnovers per game. Westbrook is the ultimate statpadder, no team chemistry or ball mouvement
Cause triple doubles don't teach your team anything... mind you he had more help this season than last and still averaged a triple double, selfishness.
+Cy The Grate that's why he will never win a ring and he may as well stay and retire in okc because his attitude is toxic. and I know that's Harden's friend, but he bet not push for his ass to come to the Rockets.
The more and more I watch Utah, the more and more I’m starting to like them. They play together, they trust each other, and it’s very exciting basketball.
simmons is older and physically way more mature than ingram. BI is still adding weight (and height). right now brandon is still far thinner thanhis opponents Brandon at 22 will weigh 15 pounds more and have a lethal jumpshot from everywhere on the floor, and insane finishing and handling ability at 6'10.
Lil Bibby so to be the best you have to break records? Lebron and jordan didnt break records for highest scoring.. point is stats don't equal the best player. All i was saying was that i like ingram more because his jumper is lethal
@Chris Hernandez "Just cause he's more all rounded". Wait, are you trying to say that Ingram is a better all around player than Simmons? The guy who has more triple doubles in his rookie year than some franchises have in their team history? Nobody should waste time arguing after that statement.
Which is shameful, an above average euro guard overplaying a superstar. Something more shameful than this considering the star level... maybe the 2014 finals, LeBron and his friends suffering the worst loss in finals history? It's sad to see this current generation of star players. Cowards joining forces, being outplayed by the weak, etc... I hope Simmons, Embiid, Mitchel, the greek, Davis, etc.. All of them ended up as more dignified players. The LeBron/Durant/Curry era is just shameful.
Joe Ingles hella underrated but he has been a key player in these play-offs! shooting 3's back to back! Great team effort and Donovan is so outstanding.. go Jazz!
graffProdigy yes bro you are right his average scoring per game has always been decent.. but now he's clue for these play-offs and he should be in the spotlight for sure
Anton Joaquin If he shot as much as NBA players do bcuz their selfish, his average would be way up! But he's a team player that's also why he plays defense in whatever team he's in. He's a good player that could fit good on any team. He does what he's asked of the team not what he thinks will make him look great for the fans and media.
FREE WILL DEFENDER I would still want him because we've seen what he's done in the playoffs throughout his career , he's playing with Westbrook rn too everyone plays better when they leave him that's just facts
I prefer to just build around the young core instead of signing a big contract to superstars. The lakers are not winning now until GSW is still here, might as well just improve the young core.
I'm not a basketball expert, but watching the Thunder play, it's like they're 5 guys that happens to play on the same side of the court, instead of a team of 5 people. All they do is isolation plays, either top of the 3-point line or in the post. Occasionally maybe a pick-n-roll, but there's no movement in the offense. People just stand around watching the person with the ball instead of cutting and creating opportunities for each other. It's so boring to watch compare to teams like GSW or San Antonio. No wonder they're not doing well.
Before the series I predicted the Jazz in 5 and everyone said I was crazy. Westbrook is a choker and everybody on the team is overrated. It’s funny how just because you have “star” players, you underestimate the true fundamentals of a team. I knew this all along Jazz in 5. I predicted this on my channel.
Jazz are a team no one wants to face. Mitchell, Gobert, Ingles, Favors, Rubio are all capable of going off any night, and they play excellent defense. Quin Synder is a great coach too.
KD is probably right, maybe thats why he left in the first place. As we can tell Westbrook seems hard headed and everyone wants to leave once playing with him lol...
How is it an excuse? Last year yall had Lebron AND Kyrie..Now that Kyrie left the cavs became horrible. They arent even the favorites to go to the ECFs
Hate that abnoxious arrogant prick. Want to punch him in his stupid looking mug every time I see him give interviews and act like he's some holy player. So glad to see him lose. Fuck westbrook
I called it from beginning of the season. You can't run an offense with Carmelo, PG and Westbrook on the same team lmao It needs to be balanced. What was the GM thinking?
Raptor fans remember Patrick Patterson left because he wanted a chance to win now. Out of all the teams in the league he thought he had the best chance with the thunder.
In my opinion, Oklahoma has no choice with Utah Jazz ... Mitchell is playing a spectacular basketball, Ricky Rubio is tenuous Do without a doubt one of his best seasons .... On the other hand Oklahoma is not well organized... 😏 I respect the opinion of others ... it's only from my point of view. 💯
Hahahaha but the real thing is. OKC is thrash. No ball plays, relying on 1v1 play. When westbrook trying to create offense 4 guys are just standing and waiting for the ball no one is trying to cut. Absolutely outplayed by Jazz. They call him a raining MVP because a lot of times the ball is on his hands. He can’t even shoot. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Infinite One if it was Durant’s team, they would’ve been got rid of westbrick...they never had a great coach and the media always adored that lunatic westbrick more than KD...
Infinite One lmfaoo you say that but look at what Durant did to OKC in his first two games against them after he left. He destroyed them all by himself and put Russ af okc in their place. He didn't need to stay with Westbrook and OKC they needed him. Everyone knows Durant needs the ball. He can't win championships with a ball hog like Westbrook. Unlike OKC the warriors made sacrifices to fit Durant in. Curry, Thompson don't green don't shoot like they use to since Durant came along but they won the finals and on course to winning it again if they stay healthy
So let me get this straight sixers got first pick on fultz lakers got lonzo what the hell where they thinking. Applaudes to Utah what a Steal Donovan Mitchell is
what legacy ? he's been fraud from day one. he thought he was Kobe or Magic for that matter. and now he is Darko . he ran off Durant and now this nicca is pulling George down and taking what's left of Melo . and that nicca was nothing but hype too . his whole career is going to be a question mark and you know he ain't going in the hall.
Lor Dj I was actually worried in the first quarter because he had a really slow start, but he brought it back and out played everyone on the OKC roster.
Swish Mamba Even in a minute chance he leaves GSW he will never choose to be teammates with Westbrook. Westbrick was a big factor why he opted out of OKC.
Just a quick reminder to those who think Russ made good on shutting down Rubio, Ricky was +22 tonight. It’s almost like there’s more to basketball than ISO’s. The Jazz get it. OKC not so much.
Westbrook said that he'll stop Rubio and he guarantees it. Well he can guard Rubio how much he wants but I think he forgot that Jazz's strength is they are a TEAM. If you wanna beat Utah you gotta guard the whole team as a team! and take note its 3 streaks win for the Jazz. That's what they known for.. their hot streaks 🔥. ✌🏼️
Westbrick have a basketball IQ of a 10 years old. He thinks basketball is an one dimensional game, head to head, rock vs rock, well Rubio decided to be water tonight. This is exactly why GSW said Westbrick is easy to guard, he just a hard but dumb rock who drive to the basket 24/7 with no alternative. Nigga need to watch some videos of the great Bruce Lee and learn his philosophy. “Be water my friend”
if Donovan Mitchell does not win ROTY, then I don’t know what the fuck ROTY means.. tell me when was the last time you have seen a True!! Rookie, straight from college plays like this... dude is Averaging 20+ a game in his first playoffs... stepping up and taking big shots too. I hope a talent like this can stay injury free or at a minimum. We need to see what this talent grow to become..I’m a fan
So happy for Utah and all the fans you deserve to go deep in the playoffs. You got a great future ahead under Quin Snyder, an all-around great guy! -am a Spurs fan btw
Nelson Nguyen This is why defend Victor Oladipo when he was with OKC. He knew quickly that westbrook always wants to be the hero, so why would he go all out if Westbrook was gonna sabotage it at the end.
Alejandro Serrano Exactly. Look at how Dipo is playin' since he's been with the Pacers. He's killin' it. Everyone around here loves him. I appreciate Westbrook's tenacity, but his style of play is somewhat harmful to the flow of a team.
Mitchell has the potential to be everything Westbrook isn't. He attacks with ferocity similar to Westbrook, is similarly built, but has a higher basketball IQ. I think the Jazz should chase a complimentary wing in the offseason to replace what they lost in Gordon Hayward. As a Rockets fan, not looking forward to playing these guys in round 2, especially in front of those horrible Jazz fans.
Carrying his team past the first round, outscoring MJ himself in his first two rookie playoff games, making clutch plays down the stretch. Sounds like ROTY to me, but Ben Simmons is on a tear himself
Cy The Grate PG 13PACERNATION Well im sorry everyone for the Thunders Poor performance this season, Im sorry to everyone That lives in Oklahoma or even Bandwagon fans im sorry, They Let us down. Jazz Took the Lead 3-1 tonight, still have to lose the next game, but its over im afraid... Peace out everyone 😢
Cy The Grate he’s not, this team is simply coached badly offensively. It makes no sense for 3 elite one on one scorers to not be able to have ONE score efficiently. If one isn’t open , then aside from it being a players messing issue, but a coaching one.
Jay Garcia nah he's done.. we saw the same thing in New York, he said the GM 3 loss was a "fun game" he's just playing for the hell of it. All those wide open shots he missed.. it's over. Russ was so obsessed with Rubio he played himself out of the game and Joe Ingles has been in Paul George' head all series.
Sam M Nah, super teams just aren’t as easy as people make it seem and LeBron deserve more credit. Westbrook simply isn’t as good no matter how much stars (originally meant stats but I guess both make sense?) he accumulates.
Yo Mammas Boo bro you feel me I'm just saying, like LeBron in game 6 vs Boston, his career was on the line, if they lost that series they would've blew up the BIG 3, Westbrook should be trying to drop 50 a night because by next season he might be alone again
The thunder are living proof that simply stockpiling all star players doesn’t translate into overall success. The team has to mesh well guys have to sacrifice. The thunder just suck. Period. Jazz are just a better team and are outplaying them in every facet of the game. Still think it goes 6 tho..
So I guess next game Russ will be "shutting down" Mitchell?... dummy put a target on his back for the refs to watch him all game and picked up 4 in the 1st half lol smh
My ROTY is Mitchell 100% idc whatever y'all say bout Simmons changing the "league" and choose the ROTY by talent and so far Mitchell is the all around better player man can Shoot well, finish down the rim, great in pick in roll, great free throw shooter, all around great shooter and good rebounder & good assisting. Now Simmons only things I can say his good at finishing at the rim and rebounding & assisting that's bout it.
Yeremy Wilson "great shooter" whats Mitchell field goal percentage? Calm down he has one of the greenest lights in basketball. He is is very fun to watch tho
Yeremy Wilson simmons doesn't shoot he knows his limitations and doesnt force the issue. Basketball is not all about the artistry of scoring. You cant just look pass simmons ability to rebound, facilitate and play defense.
Simmons role is run past half court, pass ball to better shooter, then run towards basket for rebound. His role is literally to pad his stats. If Mitchell had the same role, at 6'3", he'd have similar or better stats than simmons. Period. And if Simmons had Mitchell's role, his efficiency would be far worse, he wouldn't get half as many points, assists, or rebounds. Period. That's what Mitchell is better
Yeremy Wilson Mitchell is a shooting guard- scoring is his JOB Simmons is a point guard(at 6'11)- his JOB is to RUN THE OFFENSE. Yes Mitchell is the WAY better scorer but hes not the better basketball player. Simmons is not the best player on his team, Embid is the #1 option. Mitchell- 20.5ppg 3.7apg 3.7rpg 43.7 fg% Simmons- 15.8ppg 8.2apg 8.1rpg 54.5fg% I personally like Mitchell better as a player, but that doesnt mean he is better
+K06E it's no diss to Kobe, but that was the lamest team by far. trying help them old retirees. and yeah they made ya boy look bad. and he got hurt? "season wasted".
Classic Westbrook... focused on Rubio and totally forgot the objective of the game. Check your ego out, Paul George will be a Laker. Westbrook will be left with an aged Carmelo. They both deserve each other.
If shutting down Rubio meant letting the rest of the Jazz annihilate you...
Job well done Russ! 🤨
Kenny said that
Omowàle Zaquir
Rubio = a flopping ass bitch who is scared of Westbrook
So true Zaquir.. I like your take.
your idol westbrick have an IQ just like a donkey.. lmao
rambosexy2009 well the referee is all eyes on russ ... that was a mistake when he said that lmao
Mitchell playing like he’s been in the league 6 years already. That kid is special.
Anthony DePaola he really is bout that shit 😭 I've rarely seen a rookie ballin like this and with this confidence he's the man of his team while being a ROOKIE smh
a trick : you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Uriel Levi yup, I have been using Flixzone} for since december myself :)
@Uriel Levi yea, been using flixzone} for since december myself =)
"I'm shutting down Rubio" while forgetting Mitchell gobert and ingles are still on the jazz
I am a fat Fatty right cause he can the sg sf and C right ?
Westbrook was salty that he got exposed by Rubio playing better than him.
He also forgot Rubio can pass.
Rubio can assist...Rusell forgot that also.
Zay The Guru ever heard of help defense? Yea neither has Westbrook. He'd rather stick to rubios hip on the 3pt line. Learn the game before you make an idiot of yourself again with another comment like that
OKC is going to the finals, if they can get tickets. Awesome teamwork
Sorry to inform you but your team is down 1-3.... not up 3-1....
Swish Mamba re-read his comment bud. Smh
Swish Mamba you really that stupid...
Swish Mamba ...
Swish Mamba dumb
Westbrook plays like a talented 15 year old who can’t control his fucking emotions and is always going to put himself above the team. No team led by this guy could ever win a title
They said the same thing about Kobe once
Draymond Blue Kobe had the 3ball and FT tho 😳
OKC's total assists in this game is 10... that's gotta be some kind of record.
Westbrook has a basketball iq of about 15
G.O.A.T Raptors all he has on his minds are triple doubles, literally stealing rebounds from his big mens smh
He is fucking TERRIBLE seriously this guy IQ is unreal why do ppl praise him so much.
you don't need much basketball IQ when you don't pass the ball. :))
WTF dude. 15? You got to be kidding or you know nothing about basketball. Westbrook's BBIQ is his number- 0.
G.O.A.T Raptors That's about 15 times of yours
The best part about Mitchell is that he didn't even know he was going to be this good. He NEVER thought b ball would be his career.
He probably did not realize that NBA would be manageable for him until he finally stepped on the court..
Joe Ingles with 3 3's in a minute before the end of the first half is what got the momentum swinging in the Jazz favour. He's a crowd favorite as well
As a jazz fan i love Ingles. If he was on any other team I would hate him.
Devin C You got that. He was making me crazy playing against the Dubs.
What a lit arena. Utah lit
Chamuyero I agree. The best of any NBA team

Facts I really like the playoff atmosphere and white t shirts
Nash Muhegan nah not warriors

Smh..
This was the team that was supposed to beat the rockets and warriors?💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes if you expect their big three all with 25+ ppg
B 14 we'll to be fair jazz did blow out the warriors but still how do you get exposed by a rookie
Rudy Cooper not with that damn defense their playing😂😂😂
I kept telling them that the thunder are too inconsistent to even be a threat to either team
Blame Westbrook
joe ingles owns real estate in a part of paul george’s mind😂
This kid Mitchell reminds me at times of Dwayne Wade, other times Allen Iverson and other times Derrick' Rose. He sure as hell is special though!!! Jazz in 5🔥
Aitor Navarro he reminds me of young kobe. But yeah all those names are big ones. He’s a good finisher at the rim,shoots well and has good shot selection ,and got handles. But i think the most impressive part is...he got 0 TO last night man! This guy is a roookie and he doesn’t make dumb decisions. It’s kinda we’re all waiting him to be what he should be...a really good rookie,but each game he’s more likely being a superstar of a very good playoff team
This kid is awesome. The only rookie with more points in his first 4 games is MJ with 117 to Donovan's 110. I've been a Jazz fan my entire life and games have never been this exciting. This is just the first round and the energy around this team rivals that of the back to back finals appearances of the Jazz in the 90's. And can I add a big Utah thank you to Gordon Hayward for his departure last season. He did it like a punk ass bitch the way he left the Jazz hanging last minute, but karma caught up with his ankle so the universe evened itself out. I hope he's watching this Jazz squad now.
Donovan Mitchell blew a 3-1 lead
Stephen Adams needs to leave OKC when he gets the chance.
Hobbsta Adams and Cavs nice combo
cavz and lebron are waiting for him
Mr. DryEyed Paul George can be good add to Cavs to
adams isn't going to the cavs lol
He won’t play the same without russ
This OKC team is filled with a bunch of FRAUDS. Westbrook is an actual hothead who should’ve been ejected like 2 different times tonight. This “super team” is getting outplayed by a rookie, a mechanic, and Ricky Rubio
Oh yea, Westbrook talking about“imma shut that shit down”, but then gets beat like a drum. This guy was too selfish in tryna prove a point to Rubio that he forgot that Donovan Mitchell is the real threat.
Javian Johnson the wrong thing to do is look at them as just that in the first place... I've seen college professors beat some ass on a ball court, so who cares?
who's the mechanic?
xcen1 Ingles. But he’s nice tho
Javian Johnson 😂
Javian Johnson 😂😂😂
Westbrook LED OKC IN ASSISTS with THREE. 3 assists...
Let that sink in. Super teams don’t work well with selfish play
3 assist and 5 turnovers. He was passing, just to the other team.
+Nelson's Rudolph but what is a triple if you lose ? "SHIT"!!!
Unless you have LeBron, a fake super team usually don't work. I despise LeBron, but his selfish style of play (basically Magic on steroids... literally) is the ideal style for this kind of disgusting team.
Damn, OKC had more TOs than ASTs
Westbrook will never win the finals, Durant was smart to leave
Musicrecords10 KD was a coward. Him and Russ were up 3-1 in the west. conf finals.... KD hates perseverance
My name? : Jeff He stuck with them for more than half his career. There's a difference between persevering and just being an idiot
My name? : Jeff Yeah, it can't be the fact that his game is more suited for the GS style of play. They play team ball. As you can see, OKC doesn't. They play like they're in MyPark.
My name? : Jeff would you like someone to tell you where you should or shouldn't go ? If you a man I would say hell nah, Durant knew exactly what everyone else is seeing from Westbrook now, he's "selfish" and I can't stand to be around niggas like that 💯 especially at work 😂
Ricky Smoovio did it again... Most exciting Jazz team I've seen in a long time...
I’m not even an OKC fan (sheesh last team I’d ever root for) but Steven Adams didn’t deserve to get elbowed by crowder 😭 Adams has nothing but good sportsmanship man honestly the best in the league
Jazz fan here and I agree Adams is great I have so much respect for him, he is very underrated and he kept his cool when that happened. Id love to see him in a Jazz uniform or at lest get out of OKC
It was sad to see Crowder get ejected and westbrook stay in the game tbh but yah Adams on the jazz would be so great.
Tom Fairbourn agreed
Adams should deserved better than having RW. He shall go with PG to Laker or Cav with Lebron so CAV can get rid off TT
if you watch close you can see that crowder didn’t know adams was there. just an accident
Most overrated "superteam" of all time lmaooo
Or the lakers with naah and howard
Nash*
no they're not. the Lakers with Malone and Payton . that was some sad shit. lmao !!!
Infinite One Lakers with Payton and Malone still made the Finals, even though Malone was injured and Kobe was dealing with the Colorado trial. Nash and Howard Lakers were also injured all year. These OKC Thunder have no excuses to point to :/
Michael Jordan They never were a superteam tho, they didn’t have that spark that a lot of superteams have
The Utah Jazz yet another slept on team. The Thunder never stood a chance but the media gonna be like “wow another upset” 🤦🏾♂️
All the sports analysis were saying that OKC has this game. They need to listen to Vegas more.
all they can say is " shit happens " !!! lmao .
+Devin C naw they need to stop reading the script.
Kevin Durant was right!
Krazy 8's now they realize
ofc he was right, cause he win ring, other doesen matter. Durant scorer, he need true pg, true teamplay, when he would be wide open. But Westbrick is not true pg)
Krazy 8's without a question
He was damn right
He was right when left OKC and Westbrook but he was damn wrong to go team he lost after 3-1 leading
Is Mitchell really a 2017 rookie? He's playing soooo good
for real
Westbrook led the team in assist with 3 ...OKC sucks . Iso iso Iso
Aristotle Gnosis 😭😂😂
The moment you realize “Slow Mo” Joe Ingles has turned Paul George into “Playoff L.”
J Kemp Chris Mullin looked like he was playing Tai Chi Basketball and was still on the original Dream Team. People underestimate how much of winning basketball happens between the ears instead of above the rim..
Mitchell >>>> statpaddingbrook
Jazz has a great system, it suits each player perfectly and it allows all of them to flourish. Their ball movement and pick and rolls are well planned out. Got to give a tremendous amount of credit to their coach. Everyone wrote them off after losing Gordon Hayward.
OKC on the other hand, has a horrible system. Everyone plays iso, there is no ball nor player movement. The big three has played a number of years in the NBA yet it seems as though they don't understand that the league has evolved. Iso ball is not going to work. PG is the only one who could play off the ball. Carmelo has struggled like crazy throughout the season. Russ plays one way and lacks basketball intelligence. I want to see them do well but playing this type of basketball int going to get you past the first round.
Hayward wasn't their #1 player, Gobert is. That's why everyone shouldn't wrote them off
when jazz becomes "too great", everyone will start hating on them... just like what happened to the warriors..
Hernando Borosi The jazz has good players man I hope Mitchell stays there. They are playing great team basketball
Well said
Quin Snyder for coach of the year
THERE'S A BIG PROBLEM WHEN THE HIGHEST ASSIST OF A PLAYER IN A TEAM IS JUST 3.
And when the team has more turnovers than assists
exactly
because okc doesn't have any game plan, the system is Westbrook ballhogging until he finds someone for an assist or take a shot/drive, it's not that impressive that he averages around 10 assists per game with such high usage rate, and it's even less impressive when it comes with 5 turnovers per game. Westbrook is the ultimate statpadder, no team chemistry or ball mouvement
Hernan Patolla
IMA REAL JAZZ FAN SINCE APRIL 23 2018 LESGOO
Two straight seasons averaging a triple double, two straight seasons of first round exits. Paul George is leaving, Melo is in God’s hands now.
Taka Hawkins no not God's please not in God's hands
Cause triple doubles don't teach your team anything... mind you he had more help this season than last and still averaged a triple double, selfishness.
+Cy The Grate that's why he will never win a ring and he may as well stay and retire in okc because his attitude is toxic. and I know that's Harden's friend, but he bet not push for his ass to come to the Rockets.
Donavan Mitchell once again proving he is the rookie of the year
I think he deserves it. Simmons are also playing extremely well. Tough choice tbh. All comes down to playoffs outcome
donavon doesnt need to chase for the ROTY taht is not relevant,, the award he needs to go for is the FMVP and larry O'brien
purefatdude2 playoffs is not counted in choosing RoY
It shouldn't be but ill just say there is a reason why they haven't announced the result yet.
Yeah, Mitchell and Simmons are undisputed ROTY. The question is which.
This team just grows on you! They play with so much heart and grit! Jazz is fun to watch!!! Good luck for game five!!!
The more and more I watch Utah, the more and more I’m starting to like them. They play together, they trust each other, and it’s very exciting basketball.
Westbrick and Carmelo Brickony building houses in Utah!
*mansions
And PG13 gonna buy new house in LA
How thoughtful
Estates
No they were building a new mormon church somewhere in Utah
Mitchell ROTY Hands down best rookie in the 2018 class
Mackenzie Sexton Ben Simmons is amazing but i still like Brandon Ingram more. Just cause he's more all rounded and can shoot a jumper
Green Mode lol what? Simmons and ingram were in the same class. Simmons went first Brandon went 2nd..
simmons is older and physically way more mature than ingram. BI is still adding weight (and height). right now brandon is still far thinner thanhis opponents Brandon at 22 will weigh 15 pounds more and have a lethal jumpshot from everywhere on the floor, and insane finishing and handling ability at 6'10.
Lil Bibby so to be the best you have to break records? Lebron and jordan didnt break records for highest scoring.. point is stats don't equal the best player. All i was saying was that i like ingram more because his jumper is lethal
@Chris Hernandez "Just cause he's more all rounded". Wait, are you trying to say that Ingram is a better all around player than Simmons? The guy who has more triple doubles in his rookie year than some franchises have in their team history?
Nobody should waste time arguing after that statement.
Rubio owns Westbrick
Yo Mammas Boo i like Rubio's flop he had Westbrook choked
Wolves bandwagon fan since 1998 😂😂😂
+peacemaker Talking about what he was going to do. he just more of the same shit.
Which is shameful, an above average euro guard overplaying a superstar. Something more shameful than this considering the star level... maybe the 2014 finals, LeBron and his friends suffering the worst loss in finals history? It's sad to see this current generation of star players. Cowards joining forces, being outplayed by the weak, etc... I hope Simmons, Embiid, Mitchel, the greek, Davis, etc.. All of them ended up as more dignified players. The LeBron/Durant/Curry era is just shameful.
Joe Ingles hella underrated but he has been a key player in these play-offs! shooting 3's back to back! Great team effort and Donovan is so outstanding.. go Jazz!
Anton Joaquin He's been underrated since last season and been shooting lights out!
graffProdigy yes bro you are right his average scoring per game has always been decent.. but now he's clue for these play-offs and he should be in the spotlight for sure
Anton Joaquin If he shot as much as NBA players do bcuz their selfish, his average would be way up! But he's a team player that's also why he plays defense in whatever team he's in. He's a good player that could fit good on any team. He does what he's asked of the team not what he thinks will make him look great for the fans and media.
One more game and PG goes to Lakers!
oldnbaschool a dream
N.I 2018 More like reality
oldnbaschool after this series why would you want him?
FREE WILL DEFENDER I would still want him because we've seen what he's done in the playoffs throughout his career , he's playing with Westbrook rn too everyone plays better when they leave him that's just facts
I prefer to just build around the young core instead of signing a big contract to superstars. The lakers are not winning now until GSW is still here, might as well just improve the young core.
I'm not a basketball expert, but watching the Thunder play, it's like they're 5 guys that happens to play on the same side of the court, instead of a team of 5 people. All they do is isolation plays, either top of the 3-point line or in the post. Occasionally maybe a pick-n-roll, but there's no movement in the offense. People just stand around watching the person with the ball instead of cutting and creating opportunities for each other. It's so boring to watch compare to teams like GSW or San Antonio. No wonder they're not doing well.
I already know man. okc is not losing because they lack talent, but because they have no chemistry and no teamwork
I feel bad for Adams, he deserves better.
Thats the Thunder for the last 9 years at least, even when KD they were ISO city.
Before the series I predicted the Jazz in 5 and everyone said I was crazy. Westbrook is a choker and everybody on the team is overrated. It’s funny how just because you have “star” players, you underestimate the true fundamentals of a team. I knew this all along Jazz in 5. I predicted this on my channel.
Mr.Sauceman X tru the stars dont wanna pass the ball okc are abunch of bums
Wait I’m confused I thought OKC was suppose to beat Houston and golden state I don’t see how being down 3-1 to the Jazz helps them do that🤔
kevin mitchell tell that to skip
+James Black "yeah rrriiiggghhttt !!??
kevin mitchell Thats what funny about this, they aren’t going to face them because they couldn’t even beat the jazz
It will be due to the awesome inspiration they get from coming back after being down 4-1 in the playoffs. Hey, wait.....
Jazz are a team no one wants to face. Mitchell, Gobert, Ingles, Favors, Rubio are all capable of going off any night, and they play excellent defense. Quin Synder is a great coach too.
My boy Ingles keeping it silky smooth on each shot sorry OKC new powerhouse in the making in Utah
John Kamperschroer I live in Utah but fuck the Mormons here man 😂there the only ones who can afford these tickets
durant's like on Instagram is legit lol
What did he do?? 😂😂😂
D Tennn kd liked a random comment about how westbrook is the problem and okc have a nice team
well look at the results now.. clearly he has a point
he was right and thats why he got a ring and westbrick only gets triple doubles 😂
KD is probably right, maybe thats why he left in the first place. As we can tell Westbrook seems hard headed and everyone wants to leave once playing with him lol...
Lmfao Westbrook had 3 assists😭
hozeyy and that led the team. No ball movement on the Thunder 😂
He had 3 assist because everytime he passes to Paul brick he misses
Ingles the best shit talker in the league. Imagine him and rondo on the same team 😂😂
Rondo, Ingles, Beverly, Draymond, Cousins on the same team
Jesse Liu cousins doesn’t trash talk he just cry’s
Jesse Liu How is Stephenson not there.
Pg should have stayed with the pacers, hit the like button if you agree.
Akan Kelley no cause we are getting a better series over there at least Dipo and the pacers are push the cavs unlike push off p who always got swept
Cavs arent the same as they were last year dumbass so ofc pacers are gonna be doing better
How is it an excuse? Last year yall had Lebron AND Kyrie..Now that Kyrie left the cavs became horrible. They arent even the favorites to go to the ECFs
Matthew Hilliard we will see what he does next season, but in the meantime these playoffs are 🔥
Akan Kelley قل ذ عةى زجل
Let's just face it you can't win a NBA title with Russell Westbrook
Damien Hargrove dont forget to add melo
Pg should have stayed in indiana. Lol
Hate that abnoxious arrogant prick. Want to punch him in his stupid looking mug every time I see him give interviews and act like he's some holy player. So glad to see him lose. Fuck westbrook
I called it from beginning of the season. You can't run an offense with Carmelo, PG and Westbrook on the same team lmao It needs to be balanced. What was the GM thinking?
Mantas B. Couldn't have said it ANY better.
Raptor fans remember Patrick Patterson left because he wanted a chance to win now. Out of all the teams in the league he thought he had the best chance with the thunder.
G.O.A.T Raptors with 12 minutes and ZERO points lol omg
we didn't need him, inconsistent af
it's ok. it's not like he is gonna win with the baby dinosaurs anyway
Pretty sure Raptors didn't want to re-sign him in the first place...
G.O.A.T Raptors raptors worse trash than okc . All respect to champagne duddus
In my opinion, Oklahoma has no choice with Utah Jazz ... Mitchell is playing a spectacular basketball, Ricky Rubio is tenuous Do without a doubt one of his best seasons .... On the other hand Oklahoma is not well organized... 😏
I respect the opinion of others ... it's only from my point of view. 💯
Hey do you know how to make Billy Donovan disappear and then give OKC a new coach?
westbrook suck! he said he will stop rubio.trash! trash! karma.
melo, pg, westbrook. No excuses
Westbrooks Revenge westbrook should defend mitchell take on the match defend the best guy on utah team put brewer on rubio is ur best choice
Hahahaha but the real thing is. OKC is thrash. No ball plays, relying on 1v1 play. When westbrook trying to create offense 4 guys are just standing and waiting for the ball no one is trying to cut. Absolutely outplayed by Jazz. They call him a raining MVP because a lot of times the ball is on his hands. He can’t even shoot. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Westbrook Style of Play is really annoying. A real ball hog. Now i understand why Durant left OKC.
but ya know what pissed me off about Durant leaving ? he pussied out and let Westbrick punk him, because that was supposed to be Durant's team.
Infinite One if it was Durant’s team, they would’ve been got rid of westbrick...they never had a great coach and the media always adored that lunatic westbrick more than KD...
did you watch last night game?
Oh you do now? Good to know lol
Infinite One lmfaoo you say that but look at what Durant did to OKC in his first two games against them after he left. He destroyed them all by himself and put Russ af okc in their place. He didn't need to stay with Westbrook and OKC they needed him. Everyone knows Durant needs the ball. He can't win championships with a ball hog like Westbrook. Unlike OKC the warriors made sacrifices to fit Durant in. Curry, Thompson don't green don't shoot like they use to since Durant came along but they won the finals and on course to winning it again if they stay healthy
Ingles is proof that you don't need to be the most athletic guy on the floor to get it done.
chknman when your skills and fundamentals are excellent you don't need to worry about a 40 foot vertical.
So let me get this straight sixers got first pick on fultz lakers got lonzo what the hell where they thinking. Applaudes to Utah what a Steal Donovan Mitchell is
Loki kuzman is also a good steal that lakers got
Kuzma
Kuzma is not even close to this level
Lakers did have Mitchell huh? they f*cked up big time.
Loki Fultz will be good and Mitchell wouldn't be this good in Philly. He wouldn't get as many shots (28) that he is able to get on Utah now.
Westbrook worst MVP ever. This entire year has been a HUGE stain on his legacy (and Carmelo’s)
First round exit since kd left the team.
what legacy ? he's been fraud from day one. he thought he was Kobe or Magic for that matter. and now he is Darko . he ran off Durant and now this nicca is pulling George down and taking what's left of Melo . and that nicca was nothing but hype too . his whole career is going to be a question mark and you know he ain't going in the hall.
? He's obviously going to the hall of fame, and that's coming from a Westbrook hater lol.
+Nelson's Rudolph "CLOWNIN' LMAO !!!!
He never does shit in the playoffs. He's a useless player when it actually matters.
Mitchell was unbelievable
Lor Dj I was actually worried in the first quarter because he had a really slow start, but he brought it back and out played everyone on the OKC roster.
LADDIES AND GENTLEMEN
Carmelo Anthony looks worst than Kwame Brown
J Swish lol
*W*
“Worst” than kwame brown...J swish go to sleep
No cap lol
Kwaaaaaameeeee brown!
okc fans be like wait till durant comes back
slevin parker kevins not coming back sadly
Not funny
Alex Gandalf yes it is
Swish Mamba kevin will never come back in my opinion he's happy at where he is.
Swish Mamba Even in a minute chance he leaves GSW he will never choose to be teammates with Westbrook. Westbrick was a big factor why he opted out of OKC.
This game was insane 😳
The Utah crowd seems to have come to the conclusion that Donovan Mitchell is the second coming of Joseph Smith.
Thersites the Historian now your being rude.. this is basketball not religion bitch.
Thersites the Historian bahahhahahahabah best fuckin comment on this whole thread.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fuckin SAVEGRY bahahhahahaha Joseph Smith
Keauna Fesolai Kick Rocks that shit was funny af
Thersites the Historian FYI MAJORITY OF UTAHS POP HERE ARE NOW BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS NOT MO MO"S
Not with that "curse" ...
Just a quick reminder to those who think Russ made good on shutting down Rubio, Ricky was +22 tonight. It’s almost like there’s more to basketball than ISO’s. The Jazz get it. OKC not so much.
Well he did keep Rubio two assists short of OKC's total. That something.
Westbrook said that he'll stop Rubio and he guarantees it. Well he can guard Rubio how much he wants but I think he forgot that Jazz's strength is they are a TEAM. If you wanna beat Utah you gotta guard the whole team as a team! and take note its 3 streaks win for the Jazz. That's what they known for.. their hot streaks 🔥. ✌🏼️
Rubio is way too smart and passive there's no stopping him he's always making hella plays
Westbrick have a basketball IQ of a 10 years old. He thinks basketball is an one dimensional game, head to head, rock vs rock, well Rubio decided to be water tonight. This is exactly why GSW said Westbrick is easy to guard, he just a hard but dumb rock who drive to the basket 24/7 with no alternative. Nigga need to watch some videos of the great Bruce Lee and learn his philosophy. “Be water my friend”
Ken ken Westbrook has no clue what team basketball means haha
Rubios a Flop-God.
Ken ken rubio has more assists than westbrook, so... he didnt take him down
if Donovan Mitchell does not win ROTY, then I don’t know what the fuck ROTY means.. tell me when was the last time you have seen a True!! Rookie, straight from college plays like this... dude is Averaging 20+ a game in his first playoffs... stepping up and taking big shots too. I hope a talent like this can stay injury free or at a minimum. We need to see what this talent grow to become..I’m a fan
Y'all know the last time you saw a rookie play like this. It was 1984 and his name was Mike. Averaged 28.2 ppg on 51.5% shooting.
So happy for Utah and all the fans you deserve to go deep in the playoffs. You got a great future ahead under Quin Snyder, an all-around great guy! -am a Spurs fan btw
Mitchell is Westbrook's dad
lol
Hey Westbrick, Ingles says: "Hello Mate!"
ProdigalExplorer stfu
Salty af
Angel Gomez ....grab a Snickers.
*Carmelo Anthony* 36 min, 11 pts
*Westbrick* 36 min, 23 pts
*Corey Brewer* 22 min, 3 pts
*You think OKC has a big 3? nah they have pg and that’s it*
agreed Paul George is the only one that is consistently carrying them.. Hard to win when Westbrook running point and Carmelo not making shots
+babydickslick no they don't . Memo barely made the all-star if at all. just stick a fork in em' they are done.
Nelson Nguyen This is why defend Victor Oladipo when he was with OKC. He knew quickly that westbrook always wants to be the hero, so why would he go all out if Westbrook was gonna sabotage it at the end.
Alejandro Serrano Exactly. Look at how Dipo is playin' since he's been with the Pacers. He's killin' it. Everyone around here loves him. I appreciate Westbrook's tenacity, but his style of play is somewhat harmful to the flow of a team.
I love the way Utah plays, hard defense and great ball movement.
Kudos to the Jazz fans for the intensity! Wish we had something similar in Indiana
Utah Jazz has best fans
Ey but atleast he averaged a triple double for 2nd straight season
Mario Joiram winning is important
and it don't mean shit. lol.
Mario Joiram That makes him the goat... according to a lot of people haha
Someone come get their dad. Joe ingles...
Ski machine hahahah
ingles is a bad man
Joe Ingles has three children. He named them Russel, Paul and Carmelo. Tonight he was a busy man and had to take them to school.
J Kemp that was funny I thought you were about to state some facts with the 3 kids part
Ski machine Paul George?
Love me a bit of the Mormon energy in the crowd. Best nba fans.. Support their team like crazy 😜
aliyu shuaibu best fans are gsw fans. they seem to spread like a syphilis
Michał L. Lmfao @ spread like .... 😂😂😂😂😂
lairdriver totally agree..
Shit religion tho. Book of Mormon is a joke.
Rogue and Sexy AI nah that’s just stupid thing to say! It’s a religion so respect it. Don’t be rude just cos you’re not Mormon.
Mitchell is so good hard to believe he is a rookie! What a pickup for the Jazz!
Mitchell was tearing up Brewer and PG13
😂😂
GOAT
King Judah 144 Did you not just watch the highlights? The kid is cold blooded
Mitchell has the potential to be everything Westbrook isn't. He attacks with ferocity similar to Westbrook, is similarly built, but has a higher basketball IQ. I think the Jazz should chase a complimentary wing in the offseason to replace what they lost in Gordon Hayward.
As a Rockets fan, not looking forward to playing these guys in round 2, especially in front of those horrible Jazz fans.
Spin move 🔃🔄🔃🔄 🕷
Brian Sherwood fr
Don’t Kill Me Definitely not Paul but Corey Brewer was getting cooked.
Mitchell passed Karl Malone for a rookie high. ROTY
Yo Mammas Boo agreed
Thats wins him the award? lol... what else?
Carrying his team past the first round, outscoring MJ himself in his first two rookie playoff games, making clutch plays down the stretch. Sounds like ROTY to me, but Ben Simmons is on a tear himself
Ike.O L he broke 3 records in 4 games of the playoffs
It's time for us to collectively come to terms that Melo is washed up.
Cy The Grate PG 13PACERNATION Well im sorry everyone for the Thunders Poor performance this season, Im sorry to everyone That lives in Oklahoma or even Bandwagon fans im sorry, They Let us down. Jazz Took the Lead 3-1 tonight, still have to lose the next game, but its over im afraid... Peace out everyone 😢
Cy The Grate he’s not, this team is simply coached badly offensively. It makes no sense for 3 elite one on one scorers to not be able to have ONE score efficiently. If one isn’t open , then aside from it being a players messing issue, but a coaching one.
Cy The Grate you are a few years late
They should be trying to run a LarryBird’s-Celtics-type offense. With good transition passing and fast pacing.
Jay Garcia nah he's done.. we saw the same thing in New York, he said the GM 3 loss was a "fun game" he's just playing for the hell of it. All those wide open shots he missed.. it's over. Russ was so obsessed with Rubio he played himself out of the game and Joe Ingles has been in Paul George' head all series.
How come no one talks about the Utah coach Quin Snyder for Coach of the year? This team is overperforming everyone's expectations.
Alright Jazzz ~
Nice to see some new teams doing well.. ;
Jazz got
DPOY
ROTY
MTOTY (Math Teacher)
FTOMAOTY (Forever 21 Man Advertiser Of The Year)
They def deserve COY as well
Brian Sherwood
Top 3????
Daniel Williams GSW Pelicans Jazz in that order right now
Jeffrey Ramos
Maybe top 5
Daniel Williams in these play offs... Who is ur top 3 then?
Westbrook + George + Melo = worst “big 3” ever assembled.
Give me Kobe, Nash, Dwight over these bums
Facts
Jacoby Williams.. U sound stupid asf. Wtf u smoking
Thats because they are not a big three....all players need the ball in their hands.
That squad was so bad they missed playoffs
SpeedHomeAttack no they made it but at the cost of Kobe getting injured. They got swept by the spurs in first round
BRO YALL JUST ROBBED US OF A NICE ASS OKC-HOU MATCHUP! Westbrook is a straight bum smh.
Word! I wanted to see that matchup but OKC playing like a highschool team
Nah nigga they really saved okc sorry ass from getting swept
Mr. Clutch_6 bum of the century.
jersey 7even
word, i wanted to hear okc fans excuses after the series. Harden>>>>>>Westbrook
Absolutely!!!! Very disappointed, series could've been incredible
TAKE NOTE
ROY is Westbrick cuz Mitchell plays like an experienced superstar DAMN!!! May God protect that boy from injuries .
Mitchell, Gobert & Rubio > BRICKBROOK, George & MeLo.
Westbrook should be playing like LeBron James when he was on the Miami Heat with the BIG 3, his career is on the line right now
Sam M Nah, super teams just aren’t as easy as people make it seem and LeBron deserve more credit. Westbrook simply isn’t as good no matter how much stars (originally meant stats but I guess both make sense?) he accumulates.
LifelsGreat maybe that's what it is
Westbrick & Lechoke should play together in Phoenix anyway the rest of the team doesn't really matter. They can just pad stats whole season
He's trash bruh, he's not LeBron😂😂😂
Yo Mammas Boo bro you feel me I'm just saying, like LeBron in game 6 vs Boston, his career was on the line, if they lost that series they would've blew up the BIG 3, Westbrook should be trying to drop 50 a night because by next season he might be alone again
Westbrook stopped Rubio alright but at what cost😂
He didn't stop rubio, 13 pts, 8 ast.... 6 rbs...
david monsterstein you know what they say about revenge. Dig 2 graves.
The Jazz play TEAM ball! Stop 1, Nine other step up. TEAM ball
david monsterstein he didn't stop those two oops Rubio threw up
okc season
The thunder are living proof that simply stockpiling all star players doesn’t translate into overall success. The team has to mesh well guys have to sacrifice. The thunder just suck. Period. Jazz are just a better team and are outplaying them in every facet of the game. Still think it goes 6 tho..
Melo is not all-star. George is borderline.
OKC is not that great
Jon Sinkkonen Melo is old trash but George is borderline gtfoh he's better then Westbrook
Nah. Jazz found their rhythm after game one and OKC clearly doesn’t have any answers. Jazz in 5.
Man, this Jazz team is looking good.........
Best fanbase in nba. No question
Ski machine naw the Cleveland Lebrons
Definitly! All people talk about in utah is the jazz and college football
Ski machine raptors have the best fans in the league.
Ski machine have you been to the oracle 😂... they literally have the longest streak of about 15+ years of sold out games
Offtopic K yah but that's with a big market and a bunch of band wagon "fans".
So I guess next game Russ will be "shutting down" Mitchell?... dummy put a target on his back for the refs to watch him all game and picked up 4 in the 1st half lol smh
Dude Im going to being ROFL'ing when he does that and Rubio goes for like a 30pt quadruple double
Westbrook getting exposed like Flight right now
😂😂😂
Mitt Romney playing over that overrated ass shooting guard
oh please just relaxs he doing good but he not better then russ😂
Courtny Joiner lmao rn he is
True but at least Westbrook is good at it and knows basketball unlike LReacts 😂😂🤣
Don’t Kill Me
seriously you make money on youtube likes? i mean why are you trying so hard?
Totally unexpected. I'm glad this series turned out 2 be this way. Donavan Mitchell is a pure beast btw
Dayum!!! This Mormon crowd is lit as Fuck 🙌🏾👍🏾👏🏾🔥🔥
if thunder losses this series.. it will probably become one of the most disappointing big3 of all time.. getting rooked by a rookie smh..
My ROTY is Mitchell 100% idc whatever y'all say bout Simmons changing the "league" and choose the ROTY by talent and so far Mitchell is the all around better player man can Shoot well, finish down the rim, great in pick in roll, great free throw shooter, all around great shooter and good rebounder & good assisting. Now Simmons only things I can say his good at finishing at the rim and rebounding & assisting that's bout it.
Yeremy Wilson "great shooter" whats Mitchell field goal percentage? Calm down he has one of the greenest lights in basketball. He is is very fun to watch tho
king bean I mean I ain't calling him steph or anything, but I bet his shooting % is better than Simmons
Yeremy Wilson simmons doesn't shoot he knows his limitations and doesnt force the issue. Basketball is not all about the artistry of scoring. You cant just look pass simmons ability to rebound, facilitate and play defense.
Simmons role is run past half court, pass ball to better shooter, then run towards basket for rebound. His role is literally to pad his stats. If Mitchell had the same role, at 6'3", he'd have similar or better stats than simmons. Period.
And if Simmons had Mitchell's role, his efficiency would be far worse, he wouldn't get half as many points, assists, or rebounds. Period. That's what Mitchell is better
Yeremy Wilson
Mitchell is a shooting guard- scoring is his JOB
Simmons is a point guard(at 6'11)- his JOB is to RUN THE OFFENSE.
Yes Mitchell is the WAY better scorer but hes not the better basketball player. Simmons is not the best player on his team, Embid is the #1 option.
Mitchell- 20.5ppg 3.7apg 3.7rpg 43.7 fg%
Simmons- 15.8ppg 8.2apg 8.1rpg 54.5fg%
I personally like Mitchell better as a player, but that doesnt mean he is better
This big 3 worse than Kobe, Howard, & Nash 💀
no. that Lakers had Shaq, Malone, Payton, and Kobe. they were trash and it was four of them.
How dare you disrespect kobe. Atleast he carried those overrated bums to the playoffs and got injured badly doing so.
+K06E it's no diss to Kobe, but that was the lamest team by far. trying help them old retirees. and yeah they made ya boy look bad. and he got hurt? "season wasted".
K06E kobe can't win without dominant centers carrying him to the finals
Infinite One they were not overrated, the pistons just outplayed them im the finals
Classic Westbrook... focused on Rubio and totally forgot the objective of the game. Check your ego out,
Paul George will be a Laker. Westbrook will be left with an aged Carmelo. They both deserve each other.
I would like to see Adams find a better home, though. And this is coming from a Jazz fan.
Not a player stronger than Adams.
Why would george go to the trash lakers lol?
Why will melo stay and lose with Westbrook when he could of took 20 shots a game in Ny and have way more fun losing. He’s gone too
Andrew Leigh 😂😂
respect to the utah fans shit is lit
Rajon Rondo>>>Westbrook
Playoff Rondo? For sure, this is not even debatable lol
