You can say “Russ don’t shoot this shot”. Dude was 7-7 with 16 points last night.

I thought Lebron made everyone better? how come he couldnt get russ to perform like this but just made russ much worse and blamed him for everything?

Russ was a great addition to the Nuggets. I love having him on the team — perfect fit!

No one cares what a former football player who self admittedly has not touched a basketball in 30 years has to say about the NBA

But can Jamal learn how to take care of his body like Westbrook does? If Jamal wouldn’t learn the off the court stuff from Kobe maybe Russ can teach him a couple things.

Dear kids (0:52), this is how you grab boards to help your team.

Westbrook should be the starter… Yeah I said it. He’s still in his prime… Late prime but prime nonetheless… It is all politics as to why everyone pushed him to be a bench player… Were it not for the politics and narratives, he would average triple doubles from 2019 onwards with ease

Lebron and Russ are also good duo if only Lebron knows how to give the up more for Russ.

I heard Jokic was the one who pushed for Westbrook to join the Nuggets. Either way, I’m happy for them both.

Westbrook has always done his job no matter what jersey he has put on from OKC to the 🚀🚀🚀 to the wizards to the lakers to the clippers now to the nuggets he has always done his job

one thing i will disagree with as a nuggets fan is the comment about having to let russ be russ. the reason why russ starting out rough was because he lost control a lot on drives, turned the ball over, and took bad shots. whether malone or jokic or someone told him to calm down, or whether he just realized himself, he’s been playing much smarter, he’s fully accepted his role, and he’s not trying to do things that aren’t quite in his game anymore

False. He started off bad because he was getting acclimated to the team in NBA level play and not practice. To be quite honest hes better than Murray and should be the starter and Murray should slide to the 2. As the Russ and Jokic duo is vicious. Russ is nearly avg a triple double as a STARTER in the 8 games he started.

jokic is the best floor raiser in the history of basketball. you can give him anyone and he’ll make him better.
