I've never been a big fan of players, who catch the ball, look down to make sure there feet are behind the 3 point line, this stuffs up your ... Just shoot the ball, not everything has to be a 3 ... A long 2 is just as good.

I’d like to see us experiment with Monk as the starting PG with Russ as his back up. He’s better at just about everything on offense without the passing.

I'm going to try to keep a positive mindset.

Not sure if it’s a confidence thing, but THT looks much worse than he did last year. He’s playing like a bonafide scrub… like a player that should be out of the rotation completely.

Nick Young is a career 38 percent from deep. It’s hard to call that streaky.

That’s because he is a scrub and always has been.

Laugh all you want but it’s true. Dude sucks and always has been, but Laker fans have overrated the crap out of him because he has long arms. You’d think he was a lottery pick with the way he’s been talked about.

It's not just the number of TO that Russ has.
It's how he turns it over.
There are many that are unforced and several that are just bad decisions.

He showed last year that he is very good finishing at the rim. Whereas most young guys were slinging it from the outside, he was taking it to the rim at every opportunity.
He worked on his outside shot over the offseason which was the right thing to do, but that hasn't helped him offensively this year.
He's not playing well for sure but I wouldn't say he sucks either.

I don't understand why Lakers never traded this guy when they had the chance...

When ever you ever have a chance to trade for an up and coming promising player like THT for an Allstar player you do it in a heart beat.

Lakers are a win now team, not win later team well that's been there concept.
