Joker talkin’ ‘bout defensive effort 🤯 that’s like the devil talkin’ ‘bout who turned on the heat
Murray has always been a cancer of this team. 😑
This show needs a sound engineer
This whole arguing is based in russ being the mature hard working guy that watches films to correct his mistakes is crazy work 😂
Malone’s preferential treatment of Westbrook irritated players
One specific thing that was mentioned in the article was Malone’s continued support of Russell Westbrook despite his recent struggles, erratic play, and infuriating crunch-time decisions. Malone was treating Westbrook with the same leniency as Jokic and Murray, which wasn’t received well. Westbrook had been causing frustration on and off the court, but Malone kept playing him heavy minutes and insisting on closing games with Russ on the floor. The Athletic report stated that this treatment “led to a loss of credibility among the team’s key players including Jokic . No ones GAF about an MVP 😂
Crazy how role players thinks they’re more important to the game than a future first ballot hall of famer and a top 75 player.
Man fuck Russ, he’s been a loser his whole career
Yall don’t watch the games and just talk
Nick young might be one of the dumbest people I’ve ever listened to
When they acquired Russ, it turned their season around! He makes mistakes, but he’s been a great leader on the team!
The European girl line was wild. I was not expecting that.
You ain’t never dated a European girl have ya!!!😂😂😂
Nick wanted to the a franchise player and never got the chance 🥴
Can u tell ja to
Do proximity mines or a rocket launcher
MPJ is the heartless pos on the team..
Nick steady show us why he was 20 in highschool
Nick is definitely the guy in the back next to the door with a dunce hat on…
oh my. mabye my degree is doing to much with unimportant shit, but shads sambo dance mommy issue take on european women was just tragic. you can tell he the type to wife a 400 lbs trailer park becky just because shes white. homei never got a hug from his mom, busted early with his basketball career, thus he dont even land top shelf thots. all of that while being completely incapable of blaming himself for any of his shortcomings mixes into the nastiest glass of curdled chocolate milk lol.
Russ a fake hard worker. He that guy that sprints to the coach when they call everyone but then half ahh the hard parts of practice. In the playoffs Russ was talking about “remember just have fun”
Nick really arguing like a middle school teammate. Forget the championship he just wants more attention
Nick is proving he wasn't worthy of playing, he doesn't understand what it means to play on a team…
Russ is the Man! This team came into this season Lax, Murray was slacking. MPJ didn’t do shit until Russ showed up. Thank God Jokic is still healthy after carrying this entire team. It’s just stupid how the coach is the scapegoat for these players slacking so much, other than that he has failed to inspire them. What can be done? The one thing that gets me the most about the nuggets is Zeek Naji. This guys is never on the floor. And when he is it’s below average play and he is the fifth highest paid contract with the franchise. Make it make sense!? $35M for this fool??? Who don’t do shit. I mean you can’t complain about not having money to make some quality trades when you make moves like this. SMDH Not even a starter. I’m tired of hearing about this cry baby locker room bullshit. If those slackers are complaining and aren’t holding their end they should be let go. Am I the only one who think adleman is hard to take seriously?
Nick winning that championship was the worst/best thing to happen to him 😂😂😂 he wasn’t talking like this when he was struggling on the Lakers 😂😂😂
OK if this type of stuff happens why is this not in the lakers room? james crapped on the team and called them bums compared to his son the walking trash can. They all smile and accept it and get told they all suck and how james needs help because they all suck….
Russ dont do that u doesnt ever take the blame
is nick slow

Russ just being Russ is always the problem and that’s sad.
Nick sounds stupid asf. He has some brain damage.
Joker is going to the Lakers
They not like Russ 😂
Nick is cooked.
Also Russ- Win lose or draw just go out and have fun
the only way in the universe Gil would sound smart is by sitting next to Nick Young, that guy sounds like a re%arded guy who's having a stroke
