completely agree. They are starting to click.... you can see it in the timing. And Russ is REALLY looking for teammates on every play. Love to see it...
😂 What's wrong with this "era" and that HATE word? Everyone hate LBJ, now everyone hate Russ.. 🙄 I mean, really! Nobody hates him, but many think he is a joke (for example, hit the glass on 3pt shooting). Huge difference.
I don’t hate Russ, I love his character and the way he carries himself, however… he is a liability on offense and his aggression on defense isn’t enough to make up for that. An all time great for sure, but he’s shooting 23% from the field and that is the 3rd worst fg percentage in the league on high volume. There’s def a reason they’re losing, but I won’t fully say it’s him. I hope he turns it around and I’m sure he will at some point.
Great to see nuggets listen to comments in previous videos. See by starting russ the vibe is different it has become a running offense tempo for the team. Keep russ in the starting line up for the whole season and you will win the NBA championship.
Love this guy. He is always there with 100% and trying his best! Always standing up and going forward! Dont matter how often he falls. Always trying to make the team better and bringing them much energy!
I agree with most here. The last few games he has been playing well and impacting the game very positively. I was at the Jazz game when he started in place of Murray and his stat line was meh with 5 pts, 7 assists, and 3 rebounds in 31 minutes (with 4 missed freethrows), but his impact was consistently palpable. He put pressure on the defense constantly and opened the floor for the other guys. I don't know how many "hockey assists" he had, but it was at least 5-6 (made the drive to collapse the defense, passed out, defense rotated too hard, pass to open guy for bucket). This is stuff we didn't have last year at all. His defense and his effort were great (he got the defensive player of the game chain, don't think Reggie ever got that). His overall impact is lightyears ahead of Reggie Jackson (who is the better shooter). Honestly, if Westbrook scores, that is really just a bonus at this point. We don't need that everynight but we need everything else he brings. Overall I've been pleased so far.
Nuggets would he kicking ass if they didn't pay Murray and KPJ so much. It's rlly kinda an insult to Gordon who imo is more important to Nuggets than MPJ. Murray ig he deserves it but he won't ever be the player he once was.
If Russ realize his exact role in Nuggets and if cut those non-sensical wild shooting attempts and go more for inside drives he could be very useful also he never lacks positive energy and his always good in defense and passing........
His only issue and he’s my goat is his cutting in the clips he use to cut a lot now he stands there shooting a lot of 3s if he takes less 3s and cut more he average 15-17 every night and his FG will go up
21 Pts, 6 Assists, 6 Rebounds? Dam Russ! 🔥 Keep it up. Idc what y’all haters say 😂😂😂 Westbrook is a perfect fit in Denver. He just needed time to adjust to the system. You can’t find a better 6th man in the league. I hope the Nuggets stay healthy and win another championship.
If Russ continues to be a threat from the arc, the Nuggets are going to be a nightmare for all the NBA teams. Just look at the possible efficiency when you have Murray/Braun who can always attack baseline + Jokic starts to run the play dragging the big defense outside the paint, while Russ who has always been a surgical expert attacking the basket with his new 3-pointer weapon. I'm literally looking at the Triangle Offense on steroids being reborn. Triangle Offense with extra 3-pointer threat? WTH. 🤣 Not to mention Murray a killer clutch. Braun improving every game.
I never much liked Westbrook, I had seen him play dirty and usually looks angry. But now I'm thinking Jokic is a genius for recruiting him. All we need is Christian Braun's breakout season and we're a total contender. I don't know what's with Murray, sure wish he could back in Championship Murray mode.
Call me back in 2016 and tell me Russ would ever be a Nugget, then watch me laugh my ass off. It's just fun, man. I'll take older, aged Westbrook on the '24 nuggets all day.
Based on these highlights Westbrook is slowly changing his mentality. The Jokic role modelling is having an effect. Let's see if he can keep going this way. Today he only briefly rocked the baby and did the head hit for short time. Good sign.
@@Tom_Aspinall It completely changes the mentality of your team. Instead of playing passionate basketball to win games, rock-the-baby is about intimidation and disrespect. In LA they encouraged him when he did that sh** and it was just awful. We all saw how that turned out. Any focus away from basketball is unhelpful, especially with emotional Westbrook. If Russ can keep going this way, with positive focus on basketball and winning, then he'll stay out of his head and make a good impact. Otherwise he'll make emotional and bad decisions like he so often has in the past.
@@J.J.J.J.J.J.J bro it’s a celebration he does when he scores on a post up it’s not that deep lmao. And wtf is this rocking the baby caused his LA stints to turn out bad?? Those stints would have turned out the same regardless if he was rocking the baby or not. And ur pissed he’s doing the head pat too??? Like really??? A celebration doesn’t “completely change the mentality of a team” it’s just a small gesture that raises the players confidence
Man, I’m really liking this Westbrook + Jokic connection. Hope they keep this up till April.
completely agree. They are starting to click.... you can see it in the timing. And Russ is REALLY looking for teammates on every play. Love to see it...
How can ppl hate him? Idc what ppl are saying he's been a great change for the nuggs
Hes playing well on d too
People don’t understand that he can affect the game even if his shot isn’t falling. He adds pace, aggression, and swagger to this team.

@@eoneGT65 ok gramps 🙄
If Murray continues to play like chicken.....russ will replace him at least with his energy Denver got something.
That’s my man 😤 Russ still got it🔥 Great team W🫡
Happy to saw Westbrook cooking again. Keep on fire my man
Great to see nuggets listen to comments in previous videos. See by starting russ the vibe is different it has become a running offense tempo for the team. Keep russ in the starting line up for the whole season and you will win the NBA championship.
I agree
I hope they read this massage too.
russ fans are delusional
I don’t think they listened to the comments it’s just that Murray is out 😂
Stop spreading far right conspiracy theoried westbrook starting has nuttin to do with murrays injury
Love this guy. He is always there with 100% and trying his best! Always standing up and going forward! Dont matter how often he falls. Always trying to make the team better and bringing them much energy!
One of the finest athletic point guards in the NBA.
Lots of love from India 🇮🇳
他習慣當主要控球手,如果你讓他為主做這個角色他一樣可以做的比大多數的球員還來得好,也許會有些失誤但10都做的事情不可能忘記。他值得信任,前提是教練要相信他讓他適應團隊球員特性還有讓他感覺到安心,我想Russ 不會讓你失望太多!自從Russ 來了之後他解放了許多人的潛力,他們看到如果我一樣專注我也可以做得到。金塊隊或許戰績不是好,但是終於看到團隊合作的樣子!💪
I hit that translate and totally agree my guy 👍🏾
Brother you know the game better than Lebrone the hog-ball
@@King_Budnacab What do you mean "LeBron is a ball hog"? He is literally 4th all time in assists.
Another bad day for "WESTBROOK EFFECT" RUSS HATERS😂😂😂😂

Let's be clear Russell Westbrook is Mr. triple double🎯🎯🎯
He's never the weak link 🎯🎯🎯
People forget, he's on a minimum contract. He's giving you mad value for what he puts out vs what you're paying.
Love for Russ from Serbia!
Way to go Russ! Keep up the hard work.
Go Russ
Love Russ's workrate - role model
love you Brodie! keep it up
westbrook has been my favourite player in the league from before KD left OKC .. lets enjoy him while he's still capable
My Goat 🥺🔥
Russel's hard nosed, all in mindset is valuable to the team - Jokic at the lead with everyone to bring it like Russ! its special. GO NUGGETS.
LEGEND 🙌
I said it before this and I'm gonna say it again. Rus needs to be in front of Murray. Current form speaks for itself! Class act by Rus!
Is being stupid constantly painful or are you not even aware of it yet?
RUSS THE BEST!!! MY MAN Love you as always!!!!!!!
If Russ realize his exact role in Nuggets and if cut those non-sensical wild shooting attempts and go more for inside drives he could be very useful also he never lacks positive energy and his always good in defense and passing........
new team new system
His only issue and he’s my goat is his cutting in the clips he use to cut a lot now he stands there shooting a lot of 3s if he takes less 3s and cut more he average 15-17 every night and his FG will go up
Did anyone peep Jokic yawning while making that first pass lol? Bro is so relaxed playing this game, at this point it's his side job.
best pairing. russ has always made his big guys better, joker at broadie is just scary, nuggets ball movement less iso i perfect for russ!!
NOW this team looks niiice since their last chip 💪🏽
You know what really makes me mad that people talk bad about him when he has a bad game and don't appreciate him playing well
Ppl already appreciate him. You dont see the comments?
21 Pts, 6 Assists, 6 Rebounds? Dam Russ! 🔥 Keep it up.
Idc what y’all haters say 😂😂😂 Westbrook is a perfect fit in Denver. He just needed time to adjust to the system. You can’t find a better 6th man in the league. I hope the Nuggets stay healthy and win another championship.
Put Russ In That Starting 5 End Of Discussion
Media and people will never get me to hate Westbrook
This is the Westbrook in OKC . The mvp
Actually we can start Westbrook first, bench Murray. Until Murray return form, he can get back to starter.
I am hoping for Russ to get his ring this time
If Russ continues to be a threat from the arc, the Nuggets are going to be a nightmare for all the NBA teams. Just look at the possible efficiency when you have Murray/Braun who can always attack baseline + Jokic starts to run the play dragging the big defense outside the paint, while Russ who has always been a surgical expert attacking the basket with his new 3-pointer weapon.

I learned Murray got 2 new name Trash & Chicken here ! His 3 points are worse to make him dare not to shoot and you saw him keep drilling the ball ! 😅
Let's go Westbrook!
Finally there is another great playmaker other than Jokic. And there is someone wh9ncan actually made plays and dish dimes to Jokic.
Really hope Russ can get his first ring in Denver this season
Honestly, he is playing better on the court than Murray does
West play like a 2nd star on the team than any others.
yes sir brodie 🗣🗣
I never much liked Westbrook, I had seen him play dirty and usually looks angry. But now I'm thinking Jokic is a genius for recruiting him. All we need is Christian Braun's breakout season and we're a total contender. I don't know what's with Murray, sure wish he could back in Championship Murray mode.
I need somebody to believe in me the way Jokic believes in Westbrook.
yes we all do
I do bro!
LOVE this
Also Russ has a Hell of a lot left in the Tank..Dudes Ripped and can Run with the Kids and Chirp at them as He steals Ball and to the Rim..
Call me back in 2016 and tell me Russ would ever be a Nugget, then watch me laugh my ass off. It's just fun, man. I'll take older, aged Westbrook on the '24 nuggets all day.

wtf Russ always play like this when he got the right personnel on the floor with. Jokic ain’t changed shit.
wtf is wrong with rocking the baby????
@@stylescasino1006 pshh ya right. He's always played as a selfish spaz with way too much arrogance and disrespect.

Go go ninja turtle💪💪💪
Russell on his Rucker park ish
Let's go Brook
The Lakers just ruined him and made him regress terribly, but I think the Nuggets can bring back most of his old dominance once again.
Westbrook shoes at the 1st half is different on the 2nd half.
Playing better, my man!
Mah men
Russ play like real starter !
Westbrook has to go bro, and im a westbrook fan
The Refs won the game for the Nuggets
Is Murray overrated ?
He is not, he is proven better in playoffs, and in clutch situations, but he is also injury prone now.
Russ will score when playoff 5 games 3, 5, 2, 2 4, 1 pts😅
Guess why
I STILL GOT IT YOUNG BUCK!!!! 🧓🗣️🗣️🗣️ Ahh game
