I’m trying to understand how Westbrook has become a worse shooter as his career has gone by. It’s crazy how no matter how hard someone works, they’ll just never become a good shooter. Has to be mental.

Looking over his year by year 3 point production, he was never a good shooter so arguably he didn't really get worse he just never got good
At the same time, it's odd the past 3 years his FT% has went significantly down. Feel like his knees shouldn't give him a problem there

He was doing that
Thats why he had so many turnovers it was predictable

asking russ to shoot threes is the epitome of trying to a fit a square peg into a round hole. definitely not his game.
rockets are throwing 40 million at russ. even if he's hurting the team in a series where small ball requires that he hit open threes, it's the hill they have to die on.

They were extremely hot from 3 like 7 for 8 in the first 5 minutes of the 3rd. They had to come back down to earth

i feel like a lot of those 1st half turnovers were him trying to play iso and beat his man off the dribble only find himself in a clogged paint/lakers collapsing on him

Yall kill the Lakers 2nd option for getting 34/10 but then expect teams relying on pg and westbrook to beat them
Mans is putting up 30/11 on 58% from the field and 40% from 3 and they wanna nitpick every little detail of his game yet all the other #2s on contenders been playing like straight garbage the entire playoffs. Makes no damn sense.

That HOU 3rd quarter was bonkers but that's definitely been more of the outlier than the regular for them this year.

Defense and offense were on 100%
Then they teetered to end the quartwe

Yea he had an open lane fumbled the ball and kept passing to the corner 3.
Lakers were anticipating all his turnovers

lol you dont watch the rockets play. They'll have more like that 3rd qtr. That was light tbh. they get 3s in bunches.
Russ may be trash again, he may not. I think he's hard on himself when he plays poorly. He usually had a decent bounce back game.
I definitely expect the laker shooters to miss shots again. And Markieff had his Marcus Smart moment. That's not his game though.
Rockets still looking like the better team so far based on the eye test.

lol based on what could you think this? and not just assuming. But based on evidence just from these 2 games....what makes you think Houston can't/won't win? Things appear to trend in their favor actually..

that was a tough *** W. took that Nuclear bomb and came away with it
Rokcets definitely going to have another game like that though where they get 20 3's or Harden goes berserk.

They're a high volume, average-ish accurate three point shooting team on average.
I'll take my chances they won't shoot like that again.

Just watched, grief Russ. But as bad as Russ was, you have to give credit to Lakers defense-- that zone had them looking rabid. D'antoni's gotta find an effective response for that game 3
All-in-all though: Davis went off, Kieff went off, Rondo was serviceable and this was still a winnable game. Says these teams are pretty evenly matched and gonna play at least 6 games
