Westbrook/Bradley/THT/LeBron/AD starting.

Frank: Pick a line-up and stick with it unless a team like Philadelphia or New Orleans (with Zion and JV) play against us.

Gross.

How hard is it to start: Westbrook/Ellington/LeBron/AD/Dwight with THT, Monk, Carmelo, Reaves off the bench? Prioritize the following line-ups:

- Starting group
- End of first quarter group: Russ, Monk, THT, Carmelo, Davis
- Start of 2nd quarter group: LeBron, Ellington, THT, Carmelo, Dwight
- Closing groups: Westbrook, LeBron, _____, _____, Davis.

This is not rocket science.

This team is pure ****

Westbrook can't guard Tatum... Who would have guessed... I mean aside from everyone, ever.

This team is just annoying now. Vogel's line up, the laziness...I'm just tired of everybody on this roster...

This whole roster is ****

Please just trade WestCrap. I'm so tired of this experiment...

Sat Westbrook, put THT on Tatum... Good things happened.

Aside from that, what the hell is with ADs handles tonight... He's turned into DAJ or Kwame all the sudden..

Westbrook. You gotta make at least one of those looks.

AD is no longer a superstar.

Since the first 3 games of his season THT …

2/19 from three
19/64 from the field
6 points per game
3.5 fouls a game for 28 fouls (9 of them on three pointers)

Benched for defense for Melo and Monk … just absolute trash

I hope we can nab somebody from the Pacers fire sale.

I didn't realize is but we're just 2 games out of last place in the Pacific. Nice...

Davis with a ho-hum effort so far but only getting 5 shots is on Bron and Westbrick.... how does he only get 5 shots?

A pretty pathetic half by AD and Westbrook.

By the way, seems like Van Gundy knows this team better than Vogel. I’d love to see Jeff and Stan coaching this team.

Actually those stats look better than he's played.... He looks like he's regressed in many ways. He'd benefit in the open court but with Westbrook he's relegated to Kuzma's old role.... "go stand over there and we'll pass you the ball every 3 minutes at the end of the shot clock and you hit the 3 OK??

We only got 1 good season out of Anthony Davis out of 3. Not a great investment on the Lakers part.

I don’t really care about that. Getting worked by Robert Williams is something.

And better yet.. our guards going OVER on those Schroder screens are leading to that. How many alley oops did DS throw last season for us? 2 or 3? It’s because everyone went under screens and forced him to shoot. What is Vogel doing?

Kuzma at least defended on the ball and in team concept. Right now he’s not Kuzma, Caruso, or KCP. Hell he’s not even Markieff

Ad is essentially a non-factor against the Celtics who don't have a big inside presence... I think we might win this game, but it still might be a wrap for the season... I see nothing from AD that says he's going to be superstar level at any point this season, and without that, we're done.
