Maybe predictability too. The quad injury didn't help.but they can form a wall against Giannis, teams can certainly jam the paint to stop WB

This. Sure, Russ's mid season run was nice when we went to small ball. And he definitely wasn't 100% in the bubble. But you can tell that when teams have time to adjust and game plan against him, they just pack the paint and ignore his outside shot.

I don't care if you're the most athletic player in the league...if you're 6'3'' and trying to finish in the paint against 1-2 athletic big men just sitting there waiting for you, it's not gonna work out so great.

Sam Cassell’s Early Encounter with Rockets’ Russell Westbrook

We used to go to UCLA in the summers. I’m in there one day working him over, I’m just pump-faking and everything. And he just has so much energy. One time Kevin Garnett came over to UCLA and I said, ‘You know that kid, Russell?’ And KG said ‘Who’s that?’ I said, ‘the kid who’s been dunking, running all fast with the ball. He’s gonna be good, man’ .”

After Cassell worked him in their first meeting, he recalls how eager Westbrook was for their rematch. He continued: “We got out of the car and walked to the arena and Russell was at that first door, waiting on me, bouncing the ball and he said, ‘I’m glad you made it. I don’t believe with how slow you are, you’re getting your shot off on me like that.”

Sam then explains to Rivers that he just had more experience and craftiness than Russ at the time, which is why he was able to school the young gun.

RR, this is quite possibly one of the worst bumps ever.
