I would love for Reaves to be in over Westbrook or THT. He’s been the most successful guarding Hield and showing immediately.

Get Melo and Malik out. Reaves and Howard or Ariza in.

Malik kept us in this?

Please don’t bring Westbrook in right now. He’s a bad decision maker and there’s no way he’s making. 2 free throws in a row.

Oh yeah, I was talking specifically that defensive possession.

Malik’s been amazing.

Malik has been outplaying Westbrook since being put in the starting lineup

To be fair, the majority of the league outplays Westbrook

I made a similar comment a while back. On offense he's better at just about everything. He fits far better with Bron.

Yep....his first 0-turnover game in almost 6 years. Hope all the Westbrook fans enjoyed their moment. If getting a W at home against the Kings doesn't signify a turnaround...what does?

Westbrook is not my cup of tea and I'll never follow him on social media pages like I have other Lakers. With that said, I can acknowledge good basketball when I see it.

So I guess you could consider me a "hater" but in reality, I'm actually a realist.

He made comments after the Christmas Day game about how everyone expects him to average 25-15-15. That's NOT the case. I would like him to do basketball things which include:

- Cut off the ball (He's been doing a really nice job of this lately)
- Set screens (He set 7 in one game earlier in the season against Memphis, I checked it 3 weeks later and he set 3 in 3 weeks. That's beyond awful)
- Quit the absolute unforgivable turnovers. Everyone turns it over some - that's totally fine. Great players more than others. But he has some turnovers that are just inexcusable.
- Take good quality shots while not passing up the ones he needs to take
- Pay attention to your man SOMETIMES
- Box out and don't just look to gobble up rebounds himself

These aren't unrealistic asks. The game he played last night - totally perfect. Attacked, tried on D, made great decisions. That's all I want. If he scores 18-20 points, has 8-12 rebounds, and 6-10 assists in the process.. amazing.
