I was going to make a thread about this but instead I will put it here. Tonight is about 1 thing and 1 thing only. Russell Westbrook. This is the last game before the deadline and playing against a team that you should beat. Tonight is the night that the Lakers, AD, and LeBron either say that he looks good and they expect a big 2nd half of the season like he's done the last few years or this will be the nail in the coffin where everyone wants him gone immediately

I think its too much pressure for RW to play well considering all of the trade talk and the need to shake up the roster. I think they will win, with AD and James carrying the team as RW stinks up the joint again and gives a "validation" performance to move him regardless of the results.

Going to be tough for the warriors tonight with half the roster out but Jazz don't have Gobert either so who knows.

LeVert will make his debut tonight. Probably no Garland still so I hope he doesn’t try to do too much out there.

Portland literally has nobody left on that roster so we should win this easily. With that said Portland by 20.

Apparently James and Westbrook are both questionable for tonight's game. Went from LAL -9.5 to -7.5

Could be close without Lebron.

I cant believe of all the players on this team--Kevin Love has been the one to be a picture of health.

ehh, i think is just a old player resting back to backs (lebron)

westbrook absence is more suspicious, he is kinda old but i dont think he rests back to backs often, this smells of him getting traded tbh

Yeah, I'm glad to see him deferring.

Yeah it's a little suspicious; he hasn't missed a game this season. They're saying he's day-to-day with a back injury so who knows.

'Bron's response when asked if they have the ability to match the level of the Bucks at this point being a flat out, "No, I don't think we can", was him doing his passive aggressive thing in looking for them to make a move.

Now granted, they have no ability to make a move so I'm not sure it matters.

It's been strangely quiet on the trade front today. Just the Ingles deal?

Charlotte is on an incredible offensive slump for a team that started the month with the best offense in the league
