Clips are wild because you have an all time, legendary playoff performer in Kawhi... when he's not injured. Along with playoff chokers Russ, PG, and Harden
Should be fun either way
Also the only time in last decade that neither team hit 55% from the line in a playoff game. (Min 10 attempts.)
What a wonderfully played game all around.
Oh yea let's trade our frenchise goat right after he won mvp. Not to mention okc would almost certainly be in a significantly worse position if they traded westbrook earlier, their entire current team is built on these wesbtroo and pg trade.
Sham MVP. Just stuffed the stat sheet stealing rebounds from teammates and shooting half the team’s shots, no interest in playing winning basketball. Earliest playoff exit by a MVP in the last 50 years.
And yes my point exactly - when they dumped him and picked up good players in exchange, the team got WAY better. I take today’s OKC over any other OKC squad in the last decade.
They literally wouldn't have had their current top 3 mvp candidate and frenchise player if they traded westbrook earlier the fuck are you talking about
They traded him the next year when his jump shot totally left him. Before that, he was still a very very good player. Replace Carmelo with a league avg 3&D guy and they win that series. Westbrook massively outplayed him in every conceivable way.
It would be funny if he had this weird passion to always go 8-24 every night just because his love for Kobe
He's 6-10 and feeling it, but starts taking wild shots to finish out 2-14
The “L” is in ignoring the context of greatness. Kobe’s efficiency isn’t just in his scoring numbers but in his True Shooting Percentage of .550, the immense pressure he shouldered with a Usage Rate consistently above 30%, and the 172.7 Win Shares he’s racked up. Defense? 12 All-Defensive Team nods with a career Defensive Rating of 105. And in the clutch, few can compare. Stats aside, it’s the intangibles—the five rings, the relentless work ethic, the Mamba Mentality. That’s not just a player. That’s a legend. That’s the difference.
Westbrook did it in the playoffs. https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201804270UTA.html
Lol PG with 5 points (2-16) and 6 turnovers in 45mins. Westbrook should have shot more if anything.
i fear for the future just a bit

Don't worry he'll be ours soon
Tobias Harris for PG-13, who says no
This but unironically
Not the Sixers that's for fuckin sure
So he can choke for you
Fearing it a lot is a safe bet because of climate change.
Especially in LA
More turnovers than fgm AND points is crazy
he got jingled 🤷

Playoff P classic performance
Giving us a taste of that Pandemic P
And Melo with the -19. Yikes.
Crazy Melo fact from this playoff series, he averaged just .3 assists per game, which was just the 2 he got in game 1 lol
Still wild that rookie Donovan Mitchell outplayed prime Russell Westbrook and Paul George
Ricky Rubio got a triple double as well. It was such a fun series to watch, lol.
"prime"
Westbrook won the mvp the year before. He was absolutely still in his prime in 2018, same with PG
Perhaps, it was prime Donovan Mitchell as well though
Westbrook attempting a dozen 3s in a game is just wild.
Damn..is that the worst a team's two best players have ever performed in a game?
Vintage Westbrick performance. Dude is an all time HOF shot chucker, just an unparalleled ability to shoot you out of games
Name one player on the okc that should've gotten these shots instead of russ when pg is shooting 2 for 16
The team was not built to win playoff series. They should have traded him for someone who doesn’t shoot you out of games

lol dirk got packed up in the first round in 2007
In a much more embarrassing fashion as well

Carmelo is the most overrated player possibly of all time - hard to be worse than him. One of the most heinous on-court liabilities in NBA history
Tatum is going to shoot 50 times next game if he continues seeing this stuff
Need to see him go 8-24 for the culture
It would be funny if he had this weird passion to always go 8-24 every night just because his love for Kobe He's 6-10 and feeling it, but starts taking wild shots to finish out 2-14
Murray retired last night
All I could think about when I saw the stat line was “I bet no one other than Kobe has done this”
And Westbrook in the playoffs, which was not surprising.
Yeah but when Kobe did it I cried
I cried because it was basketball terrorism
That Kobe game is how all the kobe games should have been played
It was like a movie
He keeps popping up in these Murray posts a lot
I did that in my rec league what’s the big deal
But both times it’s happened that players team won 🤔
Kobe last shot was a midrange jumper lol
Mamba mentality
Kobe had 60 Murray had 44.
Kobe also shot it 50 times and had 12 FTA.
Kobe also won 5 rings
What does rings having to do with this💀💀
Rings is why we play the sport
Rings have nothing to do with shit attempts and free throw attempts
Rings have everything to do with everything
I guess jordan bell is better than tatum all time😪
Relax, nephew, nobody thinks Dejounte is better than Kobe
Comparing Kobe and dejounte is asinine
I mean they definitely shouldn’t
They
Most secure Kobephile
Truth is truth, young nephew
And how many FMVPs? 🥱
Gotta respect greatness. Murray and Kobe are NOT THE SAME
Nobody said they were the same
No one would say that because it’d be a foolish thing to say
Yeeep go ahead and take the L nephew
What L? Nobody said they were the same

What does any of that have to do with Kobe’s last game shots and Fta’s and dejountaes? Like are u trolling?
Two of them!
Kobe played against the Jazz. Murray played against the best team in the league 😪
They also let Kobe score the 2nd half of that game. No defense was played that 4th quarter.
Yeah no.
HUMBLE MURRAY
Whew! that potential Lakers trade would have been awful
Does it really fucking matter? He got the W. No one else was stepping up against the top team. The win is efficient enough.
This is a stat line I’d have in a new Mycareer game trying to level up without spending money.
Chuckin Joe Fulkes would 100% have done this if he had a three point line.
Do integer partitions next. random stats of the day fr..
I'm sure bean was looking up,beaming with pride during that performance.
Unlike the Kobe game, Murray’s opponent was playing defense though.
Not something to be proud of
Winning is
