HEY HEY HO HO DICKIE V HAS GOT TO GO!

NFL Reporter Ed Werder

In what I was able to watch of this series, it really felt like Russ just needed to take may ~5 less shots/game. A lot of those near the end, but some earlier, too. He has to play hero ball on that team/in that role. The majority has to come from him. But some of the shots he put up were just awful. And I’m not…

I want to make a video that rolls comments like this across the bottom of the screen while playing lowlights of the 5 bajillion times Russ passes to guys with wide open corner three looks who either 1) brick them painfully, or 2) stare blankly at the rim for a few seconds before trying desperately to pass the the ball…

I respect Durant made the decision that he felt he had to make for himself. But damn... Playoffs would be a lot more interesting if he was on OKC and not the Warriors.

To be fair I remember thinking the same thing you state in your last paragraph during last years playoffs when they almost beat the Warriors. I really wish Durant would’ve stayed so we could’ve watched OKC, Houston, SA, and GSW duke it out in the west this year.

I agree with your point for the playoffs, but okc was 12-7 in games decided by three or less, that’s one of the best percentages in the league.

Those early Jordan years he was doing what Russ does now, trying to win the entire series all by himself. It wasn’t until 88 that the Bulls finally won a series and that’s because they had drafted Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen. In fact he had won one playoff game before. Those Bulls teams had a really good…

Great point. People forget that points in the third quarter count less than points in the fourth quarter.

You’re not wrong about Russ hanging back to grab rebounds but what I will say is that when Russ grabs a rebound the Thunder get out on the break so much faster than if a big had to grab the board and then get it out to Russ. There were so many times in this series where Russ would sky for a rebound and then take off…

An oldie but a goodie

Wasn’t Lebron criticized for years for doing the exact opposite of what Russ did this year? Not taking over a game? Give me a break the only way they were going to be competitive this series was Russ going off

This is a terrible take. Russ was playing with spectators every game and somehow it’s HIS fault for not giving up the ball?

This should be grayed.

It’s funny how angry people who claim the MVP doesn’t matter get, when you suggest the player they dont like should win it.

Games are won in the 4th quarter.

Yeah, you’re right. He only had 47 points, and 20 in the 3rd quarter, that sure was a lot of pulling up in doubleteams. Guess he ought not to be doing that.

“Charlie, a long-time Moda Center staffer who works the spot just beyond the darkness of the tunnel opening, grabbed his jewels and examined them after Draymond passed. He announced, “This is the dick that Draymond Green kicked.”

He’s right, though. Draymond’s nut shots are all taken from an abiding sense of compassion.

Deadspin has never whined about an NBA culture they’ve spent no time around
