Will Russ win MVP this year?
Colin Cowherd uh, harden.
Hell..I'll give it to you, Colin!
The media MVP, yes. The majority of those voters don't know the history of the award (i.e., the criteria), are too prone to confirmation bias (media members are stupid in general), and are "analytically challenged," which is a euphemism for some other word. It should be 1. Harden 2. Kawhi 3. Westbrook
Colin Cowherd u just wanted something to talk about if u going to articles u could've went to his teammates stats talk about that
shut up hater
people don't realize that when a guy is as ball dominant, it takes guys off their rhythm and lose confidence. So when he's out they're already out of rhythm and have no shot. That's the issue. Russell makes them rely on him because of his style and as a result, it weakens their teams natural ability
M.A. 2.0 what people don't realize is that they're just not shooters. McDermott is the only known shooter on the team. Ryan Anderson=known shooter, Eric gordon=known shooter. Lou Williams=known shooter. Whether Russ's teammates are in rhythm or not, you can't rely on them to consistently make shots.
M.A. 2.0 wrong, if you watched the game, guys were getting involved up until the fourth. Even parts of the game before, russ would make a pass, and the guy would pass it back to him. In the fourth NO ONE SHOT because they kept handing the ball to him, he had 13 assists, its not like he wasn't getting people involved, but the fourth quarter they didn't want to shoot. The only basket i can think of was a long three from oladipo at the end of the 3rd, after that he kept dumping it back to russ
Yup. Absolutely correct 100%. Go watch Westbrook's interviews after a loss, unbelievably emotionally weak.
M.A. 2.0 he only dislikes talking to them after a loss
Thank you 100 million times over. It's like people have never played pick up ball with that one dude who has to shoot and dribble forever on every possession. It completely throws you off your game. It's too simple for people not to acknowledge it.
Colin had a really solid argument. Dont get me wrong averaging a triple double is a great feat on the surface, but when you look at the context it can also be flawed. Colin really murdered Westbrook on this, and he was dead on right.
It was hilarious when down 2 instead of guarding Beverly at the three point line, Westbrook stayed in the paint to try and get his 10th rebound lol. Don't believe Westbrook when he says he doesn't play for stats, it's all he gives a damn about
AK740 yeah I'm happy Westbrook is in the paint when he chooses; you see him block a 7 foot tall Capela and take the ball up the court and score? Oh ok!! He picks his spots if you watch the games; not just when he needs a tenth rebound or assist
AK740 James Harden coming into the 4th and chucking up 3's when his team had a comfortable. 21 point lead is stat padding as wekk
Day Vercetti watch the link I just posted.. also I can tell you don't watch ok games because Russ gets blocks often. The one on dirk last year was funny. But of course you didn't see it.. you tube it
AK740 nobody remembers this play. It didn't matter. It had no effect on the game whatsoever. If Westbrook played for stats, he would want his fg percentage to be good. He plays to win, it's so obvious.
Quinton lovett Harden averages more blocks than Westbrook.
Even though he has a sub-par team, no excuses for the fourth quarter performance. If he is great he can will the Thunder past the Rockets like in 2007 when LeBron willed that trash Cavs team past the Pistons.
That Cavs team didn't got on a 12-3 run when Lebron got benched for no more than 2 minutes.
That's what I find funny. Everyone used to trash LeBron and he had no team but with Westbrook its the opposite.
Adi Kancharla He is in a similar situation is what I'm getting at. If he is great, I believe he can get it done.
Brandon Chacon exactly especially skip bayless
Don't even get me started on Skip lol...
I have no idea what happened to Westbrook, he was playing great ball in the first 3rd quarters, but he decided to play hero ball in the 4th. There's a reason why KD left, he plays too much hero ball and chucks up dumb shots.
Kobe Bryant after he got his triple double he started playing hero ball
Kobe Bryant KD left to chase a ring because playing with 3 allstars and the 2 time MVP is easier than one all star that isnt a great shooter. Durant shot 32/81 and 7/28 from 3 in games 5-7 in the WCF. He shot just as poor as westbrook and when durant isnt shooting well what is he good for? Well nothing really but Westbrook at least avgd 11.5 asts against GS
Mike Lovero umm let's see what is KD good for when his shooting is off? How about playing defense, getting rebounds, a few blks, a couple of ast, letting his teammates have the shine for the night instead of jacking up 40 shots until he can't shoot no more 😂😂 kids these days smh
Kobe Bryant watch the 90 seconds when he sat and Houston stormed back.
Kobe Bryant coach took him out when he was on fire. His teammates are not reliable in the 4th quarter. name someone else on the team that can run the offense when he's out
This is why KD left westbrook. Left the statpadding stat chasing, out of control ballhog to join a unselfish team with one of the most unselfish superstars in steph and klay.
Hes gotta be enjoying it, the Warriors are the Anti-Thunder
The game was close for the entire 4th quarter and Westbrick shot them out of the game. At one point he took 12 straight shots and missed almost all of them. What kind of a leader shuts his team mates out of the game? How were they supposed to make a play when they couldn't get the ball? The loss was his fault.
FACTS PEOPLE
He should of said, "OKC was in complete control of the game for the firs 3 untill Westbrook went to the bench then came back under pressure.
Emi Mtz really? Under pressure? So he wasn't under pressure when he was able to hit the game winning 3 against the Nuggets? He wasn't under pressure when he was able to hit the game winning shot against the Mavs? Please just stop with the excuses.
Yeah you are right, I ment more of like panicked.
Colin was waiting for a performance like this from Westbrook lmaoooo
Bro there was performances like this from him all season 😂
mark84g5. lol
didnt have to wait long.
Lmao we all seen this coming i could of predicted the title
Rushking20 #terribletowels Yup
Because exactly what he's been saying has happened. Triple double.... and the worst playoff quarter of all time, just so happened to be in the 4th quarter... where you're fighting to not go down 0-2.
Which is more valuable lol.
Rushking20 #terribletowels lmfao he shot 45 times not that hard a mans gonna do his job.
Rushking20 #terribletowels it's true
Can we get a Colin vs Skip debate pleaaasssseeeeee
If any other player shot 17-43 and 3-18 in the 4th quarter they would get crucified, but Westbrook gets a pass tho?
No, he doesn't. People have been bashing him since last night. Not sure what you've been listening to.
url0veang3l nah people been saying "he has no help" only people I see criticizing him are shannon and Colin
deonta thomas whole inside the NBA crew was bashing him.
Scott Bennici again there are limited people criticizing him go straight to espn and they're saying "he has no help"
Rudy Montana exactly
FINALLY!! someone speaking the truth!!
Colin make valid points and I don't even like this dude.
Marquelle Stanford no he didn't lol his points were stupid as usual
Corey Darko was it stupid or you just didn't like the facts that he said?
Corey Darko that was harsh and maybe biased but it wasn't stupid, far from it
yea he brought his A game this time around
Corey Darko Truth hurts bud, just gotta accept it.
Westbrook is the point. His job is to orchestrate and get everyone involved in a team structure, NOT to do everything. He just doesn't get it, you can't win alone. Despite the level of talent they have, it's still a TEAM game
Westbrook fans sick right now!!!!! 🤒🤕😭😂
blaster chris who me? 🤔
Cedrick Carson they needa hear the truth
blaster chris k
After Westbrook put up all those bricks, I couldn't wait to hear what Colin was gonna say
lool ikr
Russell Westbrook makes his teammates worse. I'm sorry but it's the truth.
Fedzi Take him out of okc i doubt they would be better
That's not the point, of course they would be worse without Russ there. It doesn't mean he isn't having a bad effect on his teammates. This team won't go anywhere with Russ playing this type of basketball, if he was more self aware and actually tried to nurture Oladipo and Steven Adams, this team would be much better.
So did Kobe. But who am I to judge? Kobe's just the 2nd greates t shooting guard in NBA history.
Kobes more talented then Westbrook sooo that's different
@@Lexyboogie Almost three years later and look at this, I still totally agree with that. By the way, I want to say Russ is the biggest reason OKC story becomes a tragedy. If they don't have Russ, replacing him with another solid point guard, they will win the champion.
KD left for a reason people. Russ is too selfish and egocentric. I just wish KD wouldn't have joined the Warriors. Anyone else and he would still be loved.
WhereIsTheDank to be honest thats another reason hes gotten a pass and seen as a darling cause kd went to a loaded team and "abandoned" the team that drafted him and a top 8 talent had he joined the clippers it would be seen less "this is it doc a coach of pedigree this is it the missing peace to get the clippers finally their first title and overcome the warriors and cp3 and company to have a shot at lebron good on you kd" thats how he would of been perceived same with the celtics tradition and oh look at that hes challenging lebron in his conference
Marquis De Sade he was most likely gonna leave anyway. If he just wanted a ring he wouldn't have even talked to Miami or Washington
kd was a free agent leave the man alone.
all facts.
WhereIsTheDank KD is still loved. U don't see people booing KD at EVERY arena he goes to. When Lebron left Cleveland, he got booed everywhere. KD only got booed at OKC and a little bit at Boston but they stopped booing by halftime. And honestly, the only people who hate KD are okc fans and Warriors haters.
Did Russ turn colin down for an interview or something? its kinda weird that everyday he has a whole segment ripping on him
Facts! Colin just dissected Westbrook's ego and limited iq!
Love the show.. Can't wait for the new video each week day! Keep the LeBron videos coming also haha
Yes Colin Yes!!!! Im over everyone saying that Westbrook isn't a ballhog
Problem is that people have gone goo goo gaga over those regular season triple doubles, not saying his team is great but that excuse is tired. Javale McGee was a horrible player but the team he's on and the new teammates he have and the staff help make him better.
Colin is the goat. Always spitting FACTS!
I wouldn't mind having adams come to golden state we could use his rebounding
He just exposed Westbrook fans
Props to Westbrook for playing with far more composure in Game 3 and not falling in love with the three point shot. Game 4 is huge now, come on OKC!
I think Westbrook was really determined to show his self worth after getting ditched by kd, so strongly that his focus can't even be compromised to anything other than doing it all by himself. He plays like mj or Kobe but he doesn't have the cerebral aspects of the game down i.e. knowing when to pass, lockdown defense down the stretch, keeping rapport with your bigs, leading a team concept, etc. His pride is more in himself than anything else.
The team went 33-9 with triple doubles they obviously matter
burstinblood11 that's all u guys think about think about all the times when Westbrook only got 9 rebounds or 9 assists and they still lost u really think that one rebound cost them a loss
I don't totally agree with Colin here but he's an absoulty brilliant as a pundit and says things exactly as it is
talks about olidipo yet he's been 1-12 and 4-14 the last two games. 😒
Siwicke Tablet Maybe if Westbrick passes him them the ball more he can get into a rhythm and shoot better🤔
Siwicke Tablet 5-26 and u want Russ to pass the ball more to him 😂😂😂
yaboidub 4-18 and you want him to keep shooting 😐
Siwicke Tablet keywords "last 2 game"
Ryan Anderson is 0-11 from 3 point and 2-14 and Harden still passing him the ball.
Everyone's saying this was expected of colin, but aren't saying anything about the video. Just dodging facts
okc getting swept, i keep saying this.
Russ is the Matt Ryan of the NBA
Good at filling stat sheets but when the playoffs comes around he takes an L
Matt Morrissey no matt ryan actually made the sb
he should average a triple double for the rest of his post season, for his remaining two games that is
Colin is preaching! Westbrook one of my fav players but he has a habit of taking teammates out of rhythm looking for his own shot. oladipo is a special player but you guys wouldn't know it cause the shots he's only getting is spot up jumpers..trust me they got a nice squad
ibaka was on that last year okc team. if oladipo and ibaka was on this okc team , they'll be a higher seed.
Adi Kancharla that's what I'm saying , so essentially they lost a important part of their team. if ibaka was on this roster they beat rockets
Westbrook shot them completely out the game last night lol...U gotta' trust your team more than that. They definitely not getting Blake now.
Justin Malone I wouldn't test any of his starters and I'm a thunder fan OLADIPO is choking and Adams is playing like garbage
Corey Darko 6 players shot a better % than russ yesterday...
i honestly couldn't believe what i was seeing it was like he was throwing the game away on purpose
+Corey Darko lmao at least Adams had a better plus/minus than Westbrook though.
Justin Malone are u stupid he ain't trusting his after they blew that lead in the end of the third quarter when he rested
His triple double occurred before the fourth quarter began. He also shot well until the fourth. He sat down with 12 pt lead and came back in a few minutes later with a 3 point lead. They had zero offense with him on the bench, so they brought him back early. Fourth court his legs were shot and you could see it. He could not get to the basket and settled for jumpers. Jumpers with no legs = 4/18. Also he couldn't get to the basket so that's why he couldn't get his teammates going in the fourth since most of his assist come off drive and kick plays. They need to get him his rest going into the fourth, so they can close out a game.
When he went to the bench with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, he went to the bench and they led by 12 points. By the time the 4th quarter started, within 2 minutes it was a 2 point lead. Nobody was hitting their shots, all his teammates do is rebound and play decent defense. He got frustrated and attacked but couldn't get it going.
Colin's bringing articles from the summer but he should know that expectations aren't reality. The reality is since the playoffs started Oladipo shot 1-12 and 4-14.
yea and westbrook shot double that in one game... he's amazing but he needs to become more of a facilitator when he's not making shots. he doesn't know how to do that though
Fadi Hannouche
Adams only shot like 3 times.
The point is that Westbrook has NOT made any of his teammates better.
I mean true, but Westbrook wasn't penetrating to get open looks for teammates. He was legit iso and just jacking up random shots. They need to build the team around him and get him better spot shooters like Klay thompson or Korver, Or someone like that. And then pray he uses his brain and passes the ball sometimes.
right and Westbrook is doing nothing to help Oladipo. Adams, Kanter excel...like Lebron would do, if anything, he is holding them back...
Colin is right about Westbrook's 4th quarter where he played horribly but to negate the fact that Westbrook carried the team to the big lead in the first place shows him up as a hater. It was not OKC who were outplaying Houston in the first three quarters, it was Westbrook who was outplaying Houston. He went from Jordan to Jamal Crawford on a bad night in the blink of an eyelid.
The Thunder live by Westbrook and die by Westbrook.
The fact of the matter is without Westbrook, they don't even have a CHANCE TO LIVE but with Westbrook, you have to accept that you're going to die by him too for a chance to win.
I can't take Colin serious once he said OKC is the same team as it was last year, no it's not. Last year they had Ibaka, Morrow, Waiters, Foye, Payne, and KD. The only people from last year is Westbrook, Singler, Adams, Roberson, Huestis, Kanter and Collison. And of that group only Adams, Roberson, Kanter, and Collison(from Russ's rookie days), have played with him long to be comfortable on the court with him.
THANK YOU FOR FINALLY SAYING THIS!
And last night (though it's only one game) reminded of what KD and Russ did last year. The first 4 games they played with their teammates involved, that's how they got the 3-1 lead but the last three games, KD and Russ went back to hero ball just like Russ did last night. The first 3 quarters he was playing great then for some reason he wanted to be a hero last night.
People say Westbrook doesn't pass the ball yet he's top 5 in assists. People also blame Westbrook for the Thunder losing against the Warriors but seem to forget how Kevin Durant only shot 38% and 32% when the Thunder had chances to close the Warriors out before having to play a game 7 and if Westbrooks teammates were that great why didn't they step up when Westbrook and Durant struggled and won them the series.
The thing with Westbrook and okc is that he is so damn ball dominate that if he's not taking the shoot it's a shoot off his one pass. You don't see okc swing swing making the hockey assist. In the playoffs it's easy to lock in on a player and team that plays this way. That's why harden is the better player and in the better team is he is not only great at making open looks and his teammates better playing the puck and role but he is also willing to make that initial pass for the hockey assist to get the ball swinging and the d on its heels. That's why he is the MVp this year, he lets the game come to him, trusts his teammates, puts them in successful situations and has played the right way this year. Russel is stat chasing, forcing off balance shots, 3pt shots, wild drives, over dribbling, not guarding the 3pt line.... he's the most athletic player in the league but he relays to heavily on it
Chuck "we wasn't hittin either"!!! That cracked me up
The fact that the Warriors is 16 and 4 without KD doesn't help your point because without Durant GSW is still a great team a lot of options.
Colin was right! He really isnt a Westbrook hater!! LOL
Devyn Corvington dude saying colon is right is like someone looking up the weather forecast and then deciding to " predict ) it will rain or be windy Westbrook was set up to fail the moment they traded there best defender and shooter serge ibaka
It's funny how Colin ignores Oladipo shooting 1-14 from 3 in the series
I'm tired of everybody saying Westbrook's teammates suck. Last year Steven Adams was a beast in the playoffs. Tsk Gibson is solid, Doug McDermott is an above average shooter, and Enes Kanter is a contender for sixth man of the year. His teammates are at least equal to Harden's if not better
rebounds do not equal points, and oladipo shot 20 something percent. it doesn't matter what they said, it's about what they actually do
been waiting for this all day
Collin makes a great point at around 4:10, yes the thunder lineup is very long and athletic. problem is that nobody can make a shoot outside the arc, the paint gets clogged up and nobody can spread the floor. This team doesn't allow Westbrook to play at his best, imagine if he had Korver, Redick, or one of the many competent three point shooters in the league.
Anyone who thought the Thunder could stand a chance against the Rockets just doesn't know basketball.
With that being said, Westbrook is still the best player in this playoff series.
He basically almost beat a much better team with little help from his team.
He is a coldblooded killer that knows the best chance his current team has of
winning is by him doing exactly what he is doing.
I never seen a MVP candidate that doesn't have an affect on his most average teammates in a way that they play at levels inspiringly higher than they ever have. Triple doubles or not. Having that extra unmph that makes your teammates believe THEY are all MVP candidates is what (I thought) was part of the MVP skill sets. This is new new.
I sure colin smiled ear to ear all night as he slept after seeing russ's 4th quarter debacle.
Cowherd is right i can't deny anything he's saying because he has proof/facts damn good work cowherd
The Thunder were up 12, they took Russell Westbrook out, suddenly there only up 3
The Rockets goaded him into hero ball and Westbrook took the bait. They sagged off him, weren't trapping him with double-teams, and dared him to shoot instead of driving to the hoop (where he was getting superstar calls) or passing out to teammates. Props to D'Antoni. Next time, Westbrook shouldn't fall for the trap.
He is still gonna win MVP, even after all this. Also, the Thunder started killing the Rockets last night when they put in that all defense/rebounding lineup. Westbrook, Oladipo, Roberson, Adams, and Grant were killing the Rockets in the third quarter.
I already agree with Colin just from the title .. haven't even made it threw the ad yet
Everyone saying OKC is finished but I think they just getting started, Westbrook gone actually gives them a chance to focus on a ring. Not saying it will happen anytime soon, but id say its more likely now than before
I'm Westbrooks #1 fan but I'm gonna admit Colin is right
I'd love to hear Colin be objective about LeBron and the Cavs like this.
y'all are saying he came in with a 3 point lead. Houston already had the momentum. with the crowd feeding giving them more.
we had the same arguments last year with curry and james, when they named curry the unanimous MVP, and james said there is difference between being MVP around the league and being MVP within your team, that's russ he is is best player in his team only, harden is way better and he has trust in his teammates. it's team sport all the triple double dose't matter.
Colin spitting facts. Westbrick wont be happy about this
Westbrook just made KD less of a villain lol
I don't get why people think when you take more shots your % should go down
Westbrook is this generations Kobe without the game winners
lmao Colin got so excited talking about his favorite player he ripped his notes in half.
When your a Russ and bron fan 🤦🏾♂️
He reverted back to ISO ball in the 4th. Same thing in the Warriors series last yr.... Preciate his talent but he wanted to be the man and got his wish. Kawhi Harden and Bron would've made that KD relationship work. You can't be 0 to 200 the whole game. He doesn't have a feel for the game yet to know when to get others involved and when to take over.
Westbrook had 6 teammates shooting 50% or better. He took 9 more shots than those players combined.
When people say OKC has no other talent, they really mean he playing with nobody that's a current or previous All-Star. But yeah, I understand his hypocrisy in media reporting on Westbrook's talent.
It's not that the okc doesn't have talent but THE TEAM ISNT BUILT AROUND WESTBROOK
Bruh. This man brought up Golden state being 16-4 without KD. I mean the warriors were kinda the best team in the west without him anyway
What gets lost in the stats is the fact that Westbrook is the POINT GUARD. He has to orchestrate the offense and that means more than just scoring. Assists and hockey assists are needed too. No he doesn't have the best team around him but he also doesn't help elavate their play either. Allow them to get into some type of rhythm. They need real ball movement and movement off the ball to make the defense work. Donovan needs to do better as well with getting Westbrook open and easier shots. Every team can't drive and kick especially when you don't have shooters. OKC needs to play to the strengths of their personnel. One dimensional offense doesn't work in the playoffs.
It's funny how thunder fans say Colin is just hating yet can't disprove anything he said. 😂😂😂
i came just to say Kristine looking good
Colin killin' it as always
What Westbrook needs to do is flat out tell his teammates that he trusts them, because they always feels the need to pass it to him. Give Kanter, Oladipo, Gibson, Adams, etc for freedom
if you compared the team of Westbrook this year to that of Lebron in 2007 it's not even close. OKC is a much better team. he took a team with a starting five of Larry Hughes, Pavlovic, Drew Gooden and Ilgauskas to the Finals. many forget but the team they beat in the East is arguably a defensive juggernaut and probably one of the best.
This guy is 53 years old, why is he using the word brah
LOL, my thoughts exactly. Its like your dad trying to use the word, haha.
russell westbrook and demarcus cousins have the same problem
Who else was waiting for this video to come out😂
Colin talkin straight FACTS
I don't get why does he stop passing in the 4th? It's almost like once he gets his triple double he's completed his quota for passing and goes into all out chuck mode
Russell had a +/- of 11. The 7 minutes he wasn't on the floor, the Thunder were -15. ????
The article didn't prove his case. Okc team they have was built for kd and Westbrook. Not for Westbrook alone. His teammates look good last year cuz they had 2 superstars in 1 team
The only point Colin is making here is that the media is kinda stupid to be writing all of these inaccurate articles.
Colin is right but I still want Westbrook to win MVP
Let's also pull up all the articles talking about how great Greg Oden and Ryan Leaf would be while we're at it since apparently that's the barometer of skill and success
I REALLY expected more from Steven Adams this year. hope he delivers next year
Does anyone know the name of these microphones on this show?
