That turnover by Westbrook is basically the game.

What have we learned about playing Russ late in the 4th. Like clockwork baby

But hey at least it's Russ hogging the ball and not LeBron padding

LeBron has taken it to the point that both fans and haters can only laugh and shake their head

LOOOL I think WB on his own ruined a potential comeback. What a guy. I love him.

What he’s done this year has been amazing for his age. Most 38 year olds can’t even get up 14 threes and 29 shots like this. As well as be the playmaker. The stamina is no joke. Wonder how he maintains it?

Talk about stat padding. Kawhi and George are still playing against the Lakers bench.

I think when fully healthy Russ should play spot minutes to be honest lol.

LeBron sitting on the far right of the bench, he usually sits on the far left, but Russ is over there. Hmmmmmm

It's because he's hitting them. Stop trying to push the statpad/trying hard for 40


If LeBron was truly playing for the team instead of himself he'd demand the scorekeepers five some of his points to Beverely.

I love how no matter how many minutes played, it can be 2, or it can be 42, Russ is going to get his turnovers in. Like some guys you know are just gonna get their shot up no matter what, we know Russ is like "gotta get my numbers boyyy" but his number is turnovers :lol:
