that OKC roster is legit terrible/trash outside of SGA.

my god, the things i was watching and the plays they were doing at the end to throw it away.
going under the screen on melo. not switching, giving up open 3s rather than open 2s. not contesting the inbound like at all.

bricking open 3s all game.

From what I saw he was looking there but it was tightly covered. Then he decided too much time went off and shot it.

This team is not good.

Russ's last 4 possessions log:
1. Horrible turnover while down 2
2. Loses Dort to go down 4
3. Finds Melo for wide open 3 to go down 1
4. Bricks 3 to lose by 3

Bad PGs lose games.

Russ's bball IQ is just so terrible(nothing has changed), but i still am holding out hope he gets it together for the Lakers this season.

This Lakers team makes me miss the Kobe/Pau/LO Lakers so bad, they played beautiful basketball. This current team, I dont know what the hell theyre playing but it doesnt look like basketball lol.

I'd **** go up against Prime Mike Tyson and become a vegetable if it mean't WB was gone and all the trades were reversed. **** i'd go 12 rounds with him.

Russ had terrible plays down the stretch both offensively and defensively.
OKC just made terrible defensive decisions all the way down the stretch.

that OKC coach deserves every penny. that must be infuriating.

Lakers fans were in my quotes telling me he's a top 15 player. He's a team cancer. Not even top 40 anymore.

Have to ask.. what team takes that plunge? The guy is starting to be passed around the league and has played his way out of HOU and maybe LA (I wont say WSH because they probably didnt care, but still lost the deal somehow)

Cant think of a single team where it makes sense

Maybe Boston to bring some fire to them?

Horford and Smart?

Cavs: Love and Rubio. We send them 3 Wizards 2nds

I cant think of much else



I think I can speak for all Celtics fans here. Hell to the no my friend.

Horford has been one of our best and we don’t want the one person in the league he shoots worse than Marcus Smart.
