Okc runs 38% of live rebounds in transition when Westbrook is on the court

Which would rank 2nd in the NBA

When hes on the bench, it drops to 22%. 2nd to last in the league

But keep ripping Russ for rebounding in this up tempo, up and down era when hes one of the fastest players in the league and happens to be a great rebounding guard too

its less westbrook and more the rest of the team that we rip. adams voluntarily gives up probably 5 boards a game to let russ get them

But I think thats fine because when Russ grabs them he's already down at the other basket. If Adams gets it (which he still gets a ton) he just waits to pass it off to someone. Also Adams is one of my favorite players in the league.

Check this out

Last summer he had a baby, had a knee problem, was getting it drained for close to half a season, and had to get used to playing with melo and pg, deffering too a lot the first few months

That resulted in him having a rough rough first month or so

People dont realize how good he was remainding of the season, averaging 27/10/10 on 49%

This summer is DIFFERENT. All the FA bullshit is out the way, the roster is set. Also he can actually go full beast mode all summer bc hes healthy

I think Westbrook is about to have a monster season

thats fine. It cuts down an outlet pass. I think the only problem with Russell rebounds is hell sometimes go down there and completely lose track of his man, leading to giving up easy shots if they grab an o board

Yup, people dont realize this bc they dont watch haha. Adams get down the floor so many times before everyone is even down there and gets so many easy baskets from Russ

When russ gets the rebound, everyone is already running down the floor. It just helps the overall transition. Numbers dont lie

This is fair. I get heated at that sometimes

Russ only gets ripped because of how blatantly he chases triple doubles

Like he's making a mockery of it

And he becomes a chucker at times which gives bad optics

He's a great player

If you had his ability, youd go for triple doubles too haha

You act like players dont wish they had his motor and energy to be able to do what he does night in and night out

It takes a lot to do what he does

He’s made people numb to triple doubles. Thats whats amazing

Yeah thats why I wonder how long he can keep all that up. He's not human so probably a long time. But gotta think that playstyle will wear down quicker than others.

Gotta give it your all

Id rather give it my all every single night, never cheat the game than coast through seasons just for longevity and not give the game everything i got every single night

You do hate him, that part is obvious. And yes you are being ignorant. You saw 3-4 clips of questionable plays and behavior. And don't think he'll make the league and think he's a bum.
 
What does Draymond have anything to do with this? Draymond wouldn't do anything but talk, which is all he does.
 
And what does Ingles have to do with it??
 
This. Thats the definition of ignorant.
you assume I hate him lol

Because I called him a Ted cruz looking ass lmao

And again, I'm not being ignorant

You and CC literally both agree that he has done some things in the past that are regrettable

He will always have to live with that moniker unless he changes it in the league. It can be done

Just because I predict him to be out of the league doesn't make me ignorant or racist lmao. It's just an opinion

We all have thought certain guys would make it or bust. And I bet we have been right and won't with some guys

If I'm wrong, um ok? Congrats if that happens

What does it have to do with Draymond:

Draymond is probably the #1 talker in the league. Also has dirty tendancies in his history and isn't afraid to go at it with guys. So I just mentioned him

Ingles:
Cause Ingles is a dog,a pest. Paul George is his bitch
Ingles is my favorite player lol.

I think you need to look up the definition of ignorant. I'll put it here for you ignorant - lacking knowledge or awareness. Which you are. You haven't even seen probably 1 full game of his. Probably not even a half of a game.
 
And I can already tell you, that you are wrong.

You're not a racist for that. But you did once say Ben Simmons was a member of the 76ers' all-white lineup *eyes emoji*
