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??

And yet, without his D, this would be a 20pt Celtic blowout right now... Tatum was roasting us, until THT took him... he's held Schroder and Smart in check so far this game... He's also been distributing the ball. His cuts and finishes are still a thing of beauty too.
But whatever... And didn't you have a crush on Kuz? :lol:

Westbrook with another trash start to the 3rd... Does his brain stay in the tunnel for a couple minutes?

We're not watching the same game.... :lol:

One guy accounts for 25 points on defense in a half? :lol:

If you call a crush on Kuz not saying he was trash in every thread then yeah...

Nothing THT is doing out there looks NBA level other than some occasional on the ball defense but like most younger guys he's lost off the ball which isn't seen by many.

Westbrook defies explanation. How can one player amass statistics at the rate he does while being a net negative for his own team? Could it be that statistics are overrated? Naw.... must be that he can't hit the 3....

Nice transition 3 from Russel

Landsberger · Post #28 » by **Landsberger** » Wed Dec 8, 2021 4:38 am

Nice run. C's can't make anything and we can't miss. Some breathing room.

Landsberger · Post #29 » by **Landsberger** » Wed Dec 8, 2021 4:43 am

In the 3rd we've only shot 2 times outside the paint and one was a made 3. We've expanded the lead by 10. Not a coincidence.

Lol, I’m enjoying the game but I can’t help but notice that Avery Bradley is the only started with a negative +/-. Frank with the galaxy brain stuff playing him so much.

The movement on both ends of the floor has been better tonight...

Also, this is the most engaged I've seen leBron on D all season... In fact, I think this is the best LeBron has looked this season period.

I think he'd rather die than lose to Freedom and have to hear it on the webz...

46 points in the paint. That's our game with this group.

Yup... that's the Championship mentality for sure. Can't loose at Twitter..

I just hope the Lakers finally figured it out. It's been frustrating watching them blow winnable games.

Russ’ aggression in this quarter is another level. He’s so fun to watch when he’s attacking like this and making smart decisions.

Pythagoras · Post #37 » by **Pythagoras** » Wed Dec 8, 2021 4:53 am

Get ‘em Russ! Love watching him pop off after that stupid trolling after last Celtics game.

Post #38 » by **Kilroy** » Wed Dec 8, 2021 4:53 am

They also seem to have figured out how to let Westbrook eat without messing up the entire flow of the offense...

But it's all coming from their intensity on D...

TylersLakers · Post #39 » by **TylersLakers** » Wed Dec 8, 2021 4:57 am

Not sure what AD has to do to get a call. He was fouled 3 consecutive trips.

Post #40 » by **Kilroy** » Wed Dec 8, 2021 4:58 am

Am I wrong to really want to blow Schroder out...
