that was one of the most hype sequences we've had in the Westbrook era, Lebron setting the tone with his defense tonight

C'mon that was a held ball

And a lot of you didn't want Pat Bev a few years ago - shame on you all LOL

This 3pt shooting weakness is absolutely crippling. No way we can wait till Thanksgiving to address it.

Tough sequences.
We gave up two 3s after missing our own few.

I love the hustle though

Zubac with 15 rebounds LOL

Nice steal by Russ.

We have to get a bucket out of this timeout

If he could shoot everyone would love him, sometimes you just can't do everything - He does everything else, just having off night shooting wise

Westbrook had like 19 points last game didn't he?

Imagine having those 19 points this game - game wouldn't be close, sometimes you just have off nights

Also please all stop from using Westbick - just not cool

Execution on the last 5 possessions has been horrendous

My 4th quarter break down

Defense: OMG Reaves and Bev set the tone deserve some credit the energy and hustle was there from everyone in the 4th quarter, I think We/Lakers just lost because the 3rd quarter blues. calling it a loss LOL

Offense: much like the 2nd quarter much better everyone moving and running - not much to say but 3rd quarter let downs - need to work on 3rd quarters, this where I'd like to see more high energy hustle players In - 3rd quarter going to be key this season for Lakers

For the love of god you all need to watch the game properly or heck even just look the box score

You all can't just keep blaming one player, this team game - Yes Russ sucked on offense and didn't shoot

But look at this

Russ 0-11
Reaves 1-2 Dude needs to shoot more IMO
Nunn 0-7
Bev 1-7

Oh but wait I guess this was all on Russ ... It's a team game, that's 4 guards going 2-27 just on 4 of our guards

But I guess It's all on Russ LOL

So Kendrick Nunn is basically a wash-out now, right?... That was a great move...

Props to that Lonnie Walker kid though...

Story of the game

Nunn and Beverley were supposed to hit like 36-37% from 3 both just couldn’t hit anything tonight while Kennard couldn’t miss :nonono:

.
I’m glad Walker is proving me wrong.
Zubac had like 6 offensive rebounds because AD had to help out, half of the time he overhelped imo

Its not all on Russ but big part of it is on him.
you need to watch the game again. See how the Clipps defend RW? He was guarded by zubac and most of the time they leave him open. They dont respect RW

tamaraw08 · Post #60 » by **tamaraw08** » Fri Oct 21, 2022 5:30 am

Lebron spent so much energy, while AD played with pain trying to win, and some here wants to just stay put and let the team lose many games so they can keep the 2 picks, ok
