this the "pat bev be trickin yall" game
ssimpson11234 Isn’t it every game if we’re being honest?
Brad Asbury 💀💀
Russ be saying "and one!!!" when he pulls out. Thats why he ended up with twins lol.
Leroy Rodgers 😭😭
Leroy Rodgers 😂😂😂😂😂😂
LMFAAAOOOO
Ahhahahahaha
lol that's a good one.
Russ has been playing like this for the past 7 games but media too busy hating on Houston to acknowledge it lol.
Make that the past 7 years
Has the media been hating on Houston?
True.
Sadly like 55% of NBA fans and media are haters
Probably the most hated players in the NBA...
Russell Westbrook will win you games singlehandedly and lose you games singlehandedly. But no matter the outcome, he gives it 100% effort and emotion.
Your right! Literally the reason they were in the games against the rockets, in the playoffs, when he averaged his first triple double, was because of Westbrook. Also he was the reason they lost 2 games when he shot like 18 times in the 4th and didn't make one.
Yeah well things are diffrent since he is on a new team and doesnt have to do it alone. Factors change
facts
@Brandon Martin on the offensive side 100 on the defensive 60
Marcus RotMG comment of the year
Most exciting player in the NBA.
goldenDropBear lol did you see the dunk he attempted on harrol?
@@ytumamatambien1748 yeah hahaha he Wild'N😂😂
There are many other, especially Luka Dončic
Louie Salvador
Luka can go and take a seat ! Russ is more entertaining!
Salute
That's the Russ we love to see. Aggressive when driving to the rim and dishing out assists.
Samuel Dieudonné that's regular
Jarvis Moore greatness*
Mandrew RB tf they be talking bout
@6 languages and 4 degrees
RUSS PASSES THE BALL => "STAT PADDER
RUSS DRIBBLES THE BALL => "BALL HOG"
Samuel Dieudonné and shooting 3s in Kawhi Leonard face
Westbrook! You've got a key to OKC forever bro. We miss you and will never not appreciate what you did for us.
Forever grateful to him
Judah you say that as he single h deadly helps you beat the best team in the league
Judah no he’s just a dominant point guard
Judah you’re confusing “reckless and aimless” with moving the offense an passing the ball I get it though because your rockets teams style of offense is give the ball to harden an iso with harden dribbling for 15 seconds or set a pick by capela to harden an throw a lob or do a step back 30 foot three by harden....if anything Westbrook helps your team move the ball more smh he’s been inconsistent though for the past couple weeks not going to lie but he does make your team overall better don’t get on your high horse an try acting like y’all were better without him
Judah yeah and he just single handed beat one of the best teams as a rockets fan we do appreciate him he’s way better than Paul they would of got blown out without him and Paul there with harden shooting like 2-9 at the half now shut up you don’t even know the game your probably like 9
Clippers better pray they don't meet the Rockets in the playoffs. This team just has their number.
I forgot this team’s system was built to take down the warriors dynasty.
@@3AO4EVR not anymore. harden is so close to averaging 40 that priorities have changed. also the warriors dont look like a threat this year anyway.
@@johnnyboi331 He lead the league on scoring the last 2 seasons which were the years they should have beaten the Warriors. What are you talking about?
@@vaudou_ YEAH but its a team sport. no one could beat that warriors team when healthy. Kawhi just got lucky when kd and klay were hurt. so yeah. he still averaged 35ppg on 48%fg against gsw last season though. but as i said its a team sport. KD + CURRY + KLAY > HARDEN + PAUL
Mat Off and basically any team in the league (even the current league)
When Russell becomes rational and calm, it's killing!
Thought i was the only notice this when he gets serious and thinks about wat he's doin he's dangerous
Great Russell I love Russ mvp
Pat Bev's trashtalking doing more damage to the Clippers rather than their opposition.
he can be a great defender but his emotions is too much. It always seems so personal to him.
Yelp! He has alot to say when they win. Not so much when they lose!😁🤨
@@oyo4959 he's only tricking you to believe he plays defense
Russ must shoot only wide open 3’s and keep attacking the rim
Agree. I think too.
If not put it on, but keep shooting.
Try it. That s best play.
I agree 100% thats the only time Russ should shoot a 3
Some don’t want to say it, but when Russ drives to the Paint. He is almost Unstoppable, that’s why him & Harden fit so good together
if he gets his perimeter shooting up just a little bit he’d be unstoppable
He was flowing in this game
Probably in the class of kobe, lebron and jordan if he can shoot perimeter and 3. Dude is 90+ in every category except shooting.
Same with Giannis
Put it like this...put russ inside lebron sheesh...
@@moody01 this is now a realty
Russ should be like this more
He's avg 26ppg 9rebs 8asts his last 10 games on 45/31/90 shooting splits, quit listening to what people say and watch the actual games Russ has been balling lately
@@kckc7140 You're right and I think his ts% which is a better indicator is 52 or 53%, but he still can improve the 3% to 34 or so, that would make him a 30 point scorer again and the rockets just won't be beaten then
@@kritav1111 yall forget he's taking a " backseat " to Harden. Who's another MVP and better player. So when Hardrn is off or struggling, you can activate MVP Westbrook.
I love this mans energy idc if he shoots some bad shots you know he gonna go hard the whole game and make plays when needed
They need to load manage Kawhi some more it looks like.
"hE OnLy ShoT 42% THoUgH" blah blah blah. Here's some stats for you haters....Jason Kidd shot 40% through his CAREER, Kobe shot 44%, Allen Iverson shot 42%, T-mac shot 43%. You haters are killing Westbrook for shooting 42% when there's A LOT of greats who shot around the same or even worse. Y'all should learn to appreciate talent while it's here cause you will NEVER see a player like Russ again so enjoy the show while it last
Hawaii 808 istg there’s no player like Westbrook or harden these type of players don’t often come around
@@therealmvpee that's what I mean bro, these haters should zip it & enjoy the show while it last
Beastbrook!
He owns LA
41 piece for the Lakers
40 piece for the Clippers
Anyone else want this work?
Russ finally gets a ring this year
Not a Westbrook fan in the slightest but they beat the clippers so I'm rooting for him
Imagine being this much of a hater...
Lame ash and I’m a russ fan
Low Distortion fair enough
bronsexual
True😂
When he wants to attack pretty much unstoppable i dont know why he doesnt play like this in the playoffs
Alright! Westbrook gettin some that shine! Rockets machine was smooth 2nite.
🔥WESTBROOK🔥
This man score 40 and draymond green got 100 mil what a hall of famer
Josh brookes exactly
Just when everyone was ready to count Russell Westbrook out, he erupts!
Russ went full Mamba
6 languages and 4 degrees truth is they got the W over the clippers
@@pspismyname02 exaaaaaaaactly
He's finally playing with great spacing.
Can't believe I'm rooting for the Rockets. Goes to show how much I don't like the Clippers and load management.
I mean ot makes sense why risk injuring kawhi? They are going to make in to the playoffs anyway it doesnt matter what seed they are
@@yeah8709 so risk injuring PG? If it were later in the season I probably get it. But bruh, they started not even 10 games into the season.
@@Jry088 like PG gotta carry pat bev every night and kawhi missing 25 games for nothing, at least play like 20 mins and sit
James Michael
After 10 games though? 🤭
Y’all playing with this man.
I’m not a fan of Russ but I gotta be honest I hope he wins a ring before it’s all said and done💯
Russ making these heavily contested layups while I'm sitting here missing wide open in 2k
He was lit!Congrats Houston!
My boy💪🏿
This was a great game for russ , his drives to the rim are the best
Brah he needs to do that every game
Not possible, basketball is a make or miss game, every nba player ever has bad games and good games. The difference between a star and a superstar is that when they have bad games, they find ways to help their teams still pull out the W. And of course are more consistent than stars.
Pops 🐐💯
Guess i gotta be honest........we were all waiting for this... 👍
Russ Westbrook Better than Lebron
Westbrook🔥🔥🔥
James harden finally Trust russ with a game like this
Who said Harden never trusted him ?
Now it is confirmed for good
2:17 YEET
Mark Sanchez yeet
2:50 why sam cassell on the bench slap his knee like DANG FLABBIT
Lol
Like the new shoes
40 piece extra sauce. No napkins
To summarize
" AND ONEEEEEEEEE " 😤😤😤
Are the commentators saying “Westbrick”
🐐
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
If there's one thing this Rockets team has shown me this year it's that they're incredibly gutsy.
If Russ can play like this more often and Harden is efficient and when Gordon returns Rockets can definitely beat Clippers they matchup perfectly with them. The Lakers not so much due to lack of front court depth
Nosa Uzamere I honestly think the rockets are better than the clippers when healthy, lakers as you said they don’t match up because of all that length they have.
Broken Glass I’m saying, they’re too small obviously nene been injured for god knows how many seasons now. They’re just stacking the team with shooters and not thinking about defense.
idk, rockets backcourt gonna destory lakers's, but same thing goes with lakers frontcourt, so it's like a tie it will be interesting to watch
Derrick Zha definitely but we all know defense wins championships so... that’s what rockets need to beat lakers, capela can’t be their only big man, they need more centers because they already got a lot of shooters.
Nosa Uzamere I wouldn’t say perfectly they still need someone to guard kawhi pj tucker is good but he’s too short. I wouldn’t bank on the winning too many games on the road with a 15 point deficit at half. Flip so Eric Gordon has not played so that should help.
In His 👜🔥
Go Russ!
Russel got some moves
loving Russel more
Nice.
Can’t believe this was a year ago😳
Rockets gonna be nasty come playoffs , Westbrook just coasting through the season, he's gonna be fresh come playoffs since hardens doing magority of the work now .
ITS_Mula V facts especially cause he's load managing against back to back
Facts
The scary part is that they don’t even have Gordon back yet but he’ll be healthy get his groove back and rockets will be more dangerous
The Brodie ballin out
Thats my boy!!! Shut them haters up 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s the shoes
My fav player
Today
PHIL CAIN since 2008
Pat Bev be tricking y'all. He don't play no defense 😂🙄🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️💯
Amazing how slow everyone looks when he hits another gear
he needs to be more aggressive than harden
then houston has a shot
Say TUC I see you on Leanard.
大好き
Main thing I took from this was kawai and these boys not respect Russy range he's fckn professional of highest order
If the Russel is successfully posterized it's crazy
👑#0👑
now they're playing together
세월이 참
I thought PG and Kwahi were lock down defenders, didn't seem they wanted any of Russ tonight.
Let’s go I now that we can do it one more time 🔥🔥🔥
Clippers fans thank Montrezl and Beverley for this performance
They should’ve kept capela . Russ has played with bigs his whole career they would e found the right rhythm together
ESPN trying to be FreeDawkins lol.
WESTBROOK BACK HOMIE !!
HEY!!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! WHAT IT DO BAY-BEEEEEE... WHO'S HERE AFTER KAWHI AND THE LIPPERS LOST TO THE ROCKETS.
Nobody can guard Westbrook, the closest it gets is D’Aaron Fox and Ja Morant but other than those two, NOBODY comes sorta close
MVP Rose pre-injury would be the closest.
I love James harden pak ppak
What did LeBron think of his performance last night?
Leonard looks depressed 😂😂😂
Ha it’s when guarded by Beverly
3:04 harden is cute
This game is with capela buy the way. I understand getting rid of him to open driving lanes up. But this notion that Russ can’t play with bigs is just false when he played with too many bigs at times in okc
Westbrook To The Lakers Is Epic 😭
Wow who knew the backstory about this game
Then 5years later kawhi,harden,pg and Westbrook are on the same team in this arena
Fastest player ever
Ya even in NBA 2k20 hes fast
0:17
It was only 2 years ago. How in the world this monster become gleague player???
I’m watching these highlights and wondering too. What a shame
It got even worse 🤦♂️
who else watching this after Westbrook said he wanted out of houston :(
He was born to be a laker 😤
Russ dropped a 40 piece on the Clippers
If west play like this...they are un gaurdable
1:37
Finally someone other than harden scores on this team🤨
All Houston starters scored in double figures.
Harden trusts Westbrook so badly
