Been a blast watching Russ in Denver! Love to see him thrive in an environment that suits him well!
This year WB playing was so fun to watch compared her year at Lakers and Clippers
Malone has to have the balls to sit Murray. Murray's a bum.
Russ, since he left OKC has not looked that way? Had one of the best seasons in league history in Houston with 30-7-7 48% fg and then averaged a triple double in Washington. The hate continues

I don't give Nuggets any credit for bringing Westbrook because it was done only because Jokic insisted so if there's someone to give credit for Wes it's Jok
I am so glad Westbrook finally found a team where he can thrive again. I don't think he's really had that since KD left OKC. (Yes he won MVP then, but that team was, IMO, an empty stats .500 team)
Russ and Jokic have a little Stockton-Malone to them
Jokic wanted Westbrook with the Nuggets because of his off ball movement. He does not stand still when he doesn’t have the ball and is always in motion which encourages the others to keep on moving providing Jokic more targets. I was excited when they were talking about acquiring Westbrook and it’s paying off and he’s salary is vet minimum!
Like the Serbian flag in background Adam 🙂
Ppl can’t say anything positive without saying negative shit
And bron makes players better lol😂 and jokic is doing this with a older Russ 😂
I would love to see the Nuggets in the finals…Brodie getting a ring would be great
Yes, the Fact that Jok wanted him, gave him a huge feel of being respected and loved, which definitely boosted his playing a lot. That was such a win/win Move for everybody.
I didn't think he made sense here either. I never doubt how hard he will play, but just not the best decision making or shooting. Off the court everyone has only great things to say about him, so I hope the best for him.
Just to AD, 9-2 RUSS
Just bring Bogdanovic and thay will be champs again 100%
At this point you would think every star would wanna play here
Joker = makes everyone better.
Bron = makes everyone worse
This shows that Jokic is a way better player than LeBron. Jokic makes players better and LeBron makes his teammates play badly
because jokic makes teammates better and lebron doesn't. there, I saved you 13:58 of your life.
westbrook is always be a great player. people who think he is a bad player are only stupid persons who can't play basket ball, fake media & bad coach who can't play his role in team & blame him for scapegoat. today nba is 3 point shooter era. they think ball handler that cant shoot 3 point is useless & trash. thats why today nba is suck. less people wanna watch nba game. what is the special thing that tall big guy like wemby & jokic who can shoot 3 points & weak under the ring. they live in the sky & they can shoot whenever they want & no one can block it
Without Russ this team will in trouble
Russ i Joker su problemi za ligu 🔥
405 loves to see it and if we don’t win we want Russ to win! But we win a chip we may have to make an SGA day haha 😂
Westbrook has always been a good player and teammate. He is 1st ballot HoF.
Sometimes coaches and organizations suck and they try to blame a player instead of utilizing their roster to it's strengths.
Trying to make Russ play like Steph in the GS offense or Dame or CP or Rajon Rondo was never going to work. He has a style. He is a bully guard. He wears guys out and it works.
On another note: Westbrook with a smart big has always been amazing. Playing with Steven Adams was pure poetry at times and Jokic has so many more weapons to create opportunities with.
Plus I hope to see high-low passes from Jokic to Russ in the post.😊
Is the nba league started ?🇮🇪
Thats what i love about westbrook on nuggets. He dont give a shit about the points. He is just consistently dishing out dimes to jokic over and over again which i appreciate because murray tends to get lost in the "superhero mentality" and takes some really bad shots when he could just passed it to jokic under the post to float it in.
Jokic and Westbrook the duo we Nuggets fans never knew we needed!!! Who did?
Russ this season – 26min. / 12/4/7 with almost two steals per a game. He's doing really well.
why?… because it's jokic…. who doesn't thrive with jokic?
