I’m starting to think he’s sabotaging the Lakers. I’m pretty sure deep down he’s unhappy he’s not the de facto point guard.

Yes I caught Lebron’s lazy defense on that Metu 3 point dagger. Lebron didn’t even try on that play.

He only took 14 shots. The Lakers lost this game because their swiss cheese D allowed 125 to one of the worst offenses in the NBA.

Tells a lot when Westbrook despite having poor shooting night finishes the game off with better +/- than James. Nothing short of disaster that inside defense and I believe he left his man wide open 4-5 times which they converted 3 or 4 shots. One of them being the crucial game sealing 3 pointer. Scoring 34 points is cute and all until you give up 60 points inside every game because not making any effort defensively as a center.

LeBron, at 37, doesn't have the energy to play both defense and offense any longer, IMO.

He reminds me of a great aging boxer. A guy who can't fight a 3-minute round any longer but it still very good for 2 minutes of that 3- minute round.

If you look at the RAPTOR stats, you can see LeBron has ticked down his defensive success in favor of his offense. That might work, as long as the rest of the team can handle the defense.

Back to .500 baby. Russ made sure of that with his countless momentum killing plays. What a baller! Hof MVP top 20 player of all time right there! Kobe like mentality. Remember that folks!

Russel Westbrook the closest thing to Kobe mentally! Russel Westbrook the GOAT! Best player i have ever had the pleasure of seeing with my own two eyes. Every time i see Russ play it's orgasmic! Westbrook could cure ass cancer just by watching him play!

Westbrook so good he got Young Stapler to be AWOL.

It's precisely that. Watch his last post game when he chuckles at a reporter for calling him the PG of this team. Cancer.

James harden past the COVID break where it seems it helped him recharge and get his fitness up has been a top 5 player again. But the media is just letting it go

Harden was the primary reason the Nets won tonight IMO. All started with him.

It's painful watching Russ play like this because this is probably the way he'll be remembered. Especially since there's such a spotlight on him now playing in a huge market. But from 2014-2017 he was almost unstoppable. It was all based on athleticism and once that diminished so did he. Same thing will probably happen to Morant.

Westbrick winning that MVP for stat padding is one of the travesty in sports.

Inflated his ego, Made him double down on bad habits. This is the result.

It started to down hill when Lebron went chuck mode before 2nd half ended . This season is easily wash. Go Memphis

Russ is easily the worst defensive player in the Lakers rotation when Melo doesn't play.

I will give you this bro, you are LOYAL.

They gotta be family, if not Westbrook needs to send him a gift basket for all the Cape'n he does.

I just love the. Pretty poor shooting night.

Dude shot 14% had about 4 momentum killing plays and is a cone on defense.

Pretty poor shooting :lol:

Dude is worse than Lebron stans.

Westbrook 'had' all time athleticism in his peak.

Thing is if you take out Westbrook's All Time athleticism and just make it elite, you get current Westbrook, who has somehow regressed as a FT shooter.

He was an 80% Ft shooter for a long while, I wonder what happened there.

In other words the more his athleticism declines, the more his game ages like milk.

Bad IQ player overall and bad shooter. Not a good combination.

Lakers nation are likely stuck with Westbrook for the foreseeable future.

Might as well get used to it... I know I am lol
