@@HoopGeniusWestbrook played with KD and Harden on the same team…they don’t like him. Westbrook plays on the same team with LeBron, they don’t like each other. Narratives? Videos and comments by NBA players says he isn’t a good person. You can be a great basketball player and still not have a good heart. Enjoy the honeymoon phase with Russ. Entire fan bases don’t like him, nuggets fans made so much fun of him when he was on the lakers calling him Westbrick.

Nobody says he isn't a playmaker. But you just were never going to win anything with him as your 1st or 2nd option even in his prime. And Denver definitely ain't going nowhere with him starting. Might be a good short term solution, but its gonna bite them back later on.

My reason on why Russ should start is because the difference on energy and intensity. The Nuggets has been starting really,really slow with Jamal. Westbrook comes with a fire on him to put pressure on the ball, to attack hard, to deflect balls, to move the space, to play hard defense every second he's on the court. Is not about Westbrook putting points. That's irrelevant to me. Is about what Westbrook do on defense and playmaking. He feeds Jokic. He understand the assignment better than anyone else's on the court. Your whole goal and point is to GIVE THE BALL TO THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD. Not to dribble the ball out, not to do your NBA2K1 crossover like Jamal do, not to take non stop mid ranges, not to take contested 3's, not to go the opposite side of the screens set by Jokic. Your GOAL AS THE PG OF THE NUGGETS IS TO TAKE THE SCREEN. MAKE THE OPPOSITE PG CRASH INTO THE SCREEN OF JOKIC ATTACK THE SPACE CREATED BY THE SCREEN AND GIVE IT TO JOKIC. That's your whole goal, but apparently is something so complicated, so much to ask for a 50M player like Jamal who got such a tough time completing this task. Westbrook understand it. He just know the best player on the team need at least touch the ball in all possessions. Westbrook understand that you do what Jokic wants to do. If Jokic set up the play you follow. If he wants to screen you use it. If jokic wants to pop you give it. The problem with this team is that if Jokic is telling what to do, they just stand around, nobody moving, nobody cutting, nobody setting for others. Westbrook challenges Jokic to be involved in all play because he knows this bums like Jamal and MPJ can't create a play for themselves to save their life. MPJ the last weeks has been progressing quite a ton. He's attacking the rim, he's setting his own shots, he's cutting hard, moving without the ball. Is like the Nuggets completely forget their play book the moment Jokic is off the court One of my main issues with Jamal is that he just don't move. He bring the ball up. Give it,jog and put the softest screens and for the rest of the possession you see him standing still like he's annoyed he ain't dribbling the ball. Don't cut, Don't reposition like a premier shooter, don't set up a screen for other players. He just give it and then stand on the swings waiting

The return that the Nuggets are getting from the Westbrook investment is insane.. Russ is out there working for canned beans right now. Here's a guy who has nothing to prove to the NBA after dominating for years during his prime. He's barely getting paid enough to cover his agent and manager, but he's out there on the court barbecuing steaks with a big smile on his face. I have to admire that.

I’d love for him to get one, especially with my Nuggets. And Russ is a way different player than he was with OKC but let’s be honest. His ball hogging selfish attitude was the reason he didn’t get one in OKC. All he had to do was feed KD like he is Jokic and they could have beat the Warriors that year and the Heat before that. KD left because Russ wanted the ball too much and was taking bad shots.

Braun is getting to comfortable with his spot in starting five and doesn't give the same effort he did at start of the season. Now he just runs to the rim every time and doesn't pass the ball. When Jamal gets back in shape, Malone should play Westbrook at PG, move Murray to SG and bench Braun so he resets back to normal.

Russ knows he's playing with the greatest player he ever has, and he's hungry to wash away the stink LeBron put on him and cap off his career with a ring or three. That hunger in an all-time great is what used to make basketball so fun to watch, and watching Jokic and Russell is fun. Also, regarding three-pointers: Just as 40% from three is equal to 60% from the field, 61% from the field is better than 40% from three. Don't count out the regular field goals just yet, especially with the efficiency level of Russell-Jokic.

Jamal’s approach to the game it’s similar to Jimmy Butler’s. They might not kill during the regular season but when the last seconds of a playoff game they’re fearless. They will most of the time make the bucket cold blood. Sooo, they are a necessary burden when you want a championship.

With Murray Jokic need to warm him up and to give him ball and time ( murray low IQ 15 secunde ball possesion and bad decision that is what is happening last 8 years.

Again, the data is very clear: so far, for the season, Jokic + Murray and no Russel have resulted in +13 net rating - which is an incredible number. And with the way Murray has played so far, it can only get better, really. The biggest issue is when Jokic is off the court, and neither Murray nor Westbrook seem to be able to solve that by themselves at this point.

Nah, the numbers are clear. Nuggs are better in Jok+Mal minutes then they are in Jok+Brook minutes. ANd the difference is not small. We could theoretically move the mal to 2 and slot Brook in 1 but that would mean benching Braun and that would be a significant defensive downgrade to a team that already struggles defensively. No, Westbrook is great at replacing Mal when he is hurt which he often is, and slotting in with the first 5 to let Mal go to bench eatly so he can stagger with the bench in the non-jokić minutes.

Honestly, as much as I love "Playoff Murray", he needs to come off the bench from here on out. Not because of he lacks talent but because it clearly looks like Murray is physically hindered and clearly not healthy right now. You can see it in his lack of speed, cutting, and energy. Murray cannot take more than backup minutes right now health wise. Nuggets should be using Murray to torch the opposing bench scrubs from here on out.

I'm not sure these videos are the best examples of what Westbrook brings to the table. I feel the first 3 were actually showing the impact of Jokic guarding pick and rolls. I'm torn about Westbrook. I love his effort, passion and the fact that he is humble. On the other hand his decision making has always been a problem (worst 3 point shooter on high volume ever, even worse than Antoine Walker, although this year he is shooting them at a career best) and the advanced stats really don't like him. Of all the Nuggets rotation players he has the worst net rating when pared with Jokic. Part of that is because he plays a lot of minutes with Strawther (who's net rating with Jokic is only a hair better) but it's still a huge gap to the rest.

Murray the multi million dollar scrub

Too bad the numbers for the full season don't really bear this out. What you're doing is called cherry picking the data to push your narrative. Look at the on/off numbers for pairings with Jokic and Westbrook and Jokic and Murray. Yeah, Jamal has been underwhelming so far, but Jokic + Murray and no West are +13 per 100 possessions, while Jokic + Westbrook and no Murray are just +1.5 per 100 possessions. So while Russ has been great on his limited role and Murray has still to play up to his potential, the talk about Westbrook starting over Murray is just nuts. Not to mention the issues this would cause in the playoffs. Give it time, folks. You don't alienate the guy who has helped the team get their only championship, just signed a max extension and can't be traded till the off-season. The season is still young.

@@ColdbloodedJR What are you talking about, dude? Net rating shows EXACTLY what happens on the court as far as results go. It doesn't tell you the "why", but it does tell you the "what". If what you see does not fit the data, then it's your "eye test" that is wrong, not the data.

@ bruh the net for Russ is messed up because of the bench players and do watch the games cause they score on Jamal Murray attack Jamal on defense the problem aint the offense it’s the defense so who would you rather have more defense who can pass the ball and play defense or a person when he off play no defense or energy?

@@ColdbloodedJR Again, the net is not just for Russ, but for RUSS + JOKIC and no Murray. That includes both games where Russ has started and games where he came off the bench. With all the missed time from Gordon and Murray it's hard to isolate all the data, but that includes a lot of time with the rest of the starters, since it includes both the 5 games where Russ started himself and also because Russ is usually the first to come in for Murray, and Jokic plays the full first and third quarters (for the most part). There's no way the few minutes Russ plays with Jokic with other reserves in instead of starters accounts for over +10 net rating, and the fact is the team still has been great with Murray and Jokic on the court, with or without other starters, so he's not the reason they're losing either way. If the bench is the reason for the 10 net rating difference of Murray over Russ, then clearly that's the problem, and not Murray. Yes, Russel is a better defender right now, but that's not enough to justify starting him over Murray - not to mention all the issues this can bring in the playoffs, plus the fact Murray cannot be traded before the off-season - one simply does not bench and therefore alienates a player that has just signed a max extension and historically has been crucial to the title run because he's not played his best to start the season, much less so when the results are still positive with him on the court. People just need to chill out and stop with the knee jerk reactions that will actually bring more problems than they allegedly would solve.

@ bro the offense not the problem it’s defense where he lack I did not mention the offense the last conversation you saying net rating I do not care about i want to see energy from Murray on both ends he plays with no desire to play it’s seems he plays lazy if you know basketball coaches can’t mess with that because he think he above everyone else and it shows when he plays mediocre and getting cooked we’re talking about rn not in the playoffs because last year in the playoffs he was doing the same shi doing bad offensively numbers wise and lacking on defense but you right net rating and all that other shi matters when your star player you play a new contract not balling but you get Russ who was given 3 mill to play better on both sides for there system🤦🏾‍♂️
