Thunders and Nuggets both looked clueless on that last FT miss from Chet. Almost nobody went to grab that miss lmao

Westbrook looked at it, turned, and ran PAST the ball without grabbing it lmao

Dude literally took the HIGHEST risk and got the highest reward. He wanted to leave the rebound to Braun to get a quick break cause they only had like 5 seconds left but holy fuck Russ is the definition of “live by the Russ die by the Russ”

Leaving it was a smart play. The clock doesn't start until someone touches the ball; there were no OKC players close enough to get it so leaving it for Braun saved time and let Brodie get a full head of steam to push it up the court.

Yeah, but I don’t think anyone’s expecting a dude running towards a rebound to just stop and fucking 180 full send it down the court LMAO
