What is this Bradley obsession. What did Monk do to lose his starting spot.

No Gobert so Lakers might have an easier time. Shouldn't have much significance if they win. Westbrook might even have a good game against that interior.

My bad Gobert is very definitely playing. Blowout incoming

This is the scariest thing about Westbrook. He makes corner shooters dangerous so there's nowhere to hide him. All he has to do is stand in one spot and box out, even Harden is competent at it.

Bron really engaged on defense so far. Night and day over the past 3-4 games

He cannot defend PG’s, neither can Westbrook. That is why Bradley is out there.
Don't believe the hype...

Yeah I was hoping Monk could defend PGs, that would be ideal.. Maybe Nunn needs to start if he ever returns from his bruise.

But I don't get why Monk can't, he is quick, surely he could if he was taught.

Nunn is not coming back this season, he's a sunk cost.

Well then Monk has to be tasked with defending PGs because Westbrook is really a wing defender.

Jazz in the bonus, so of course Russ takes a dumb ass foul.

I think I prefer Monk to start, we need an offensive spark in the starting lineup

Ariza is also proabably not good enough to start, looks slow out there, but a smart player

Man I wish we could move Russ

keeping it real, Westbrook is playing well on offense so far. Decision making on d is disastrous as ever though but it looks like net positive minutes so far. See how long before the pendulum swings

LeBron's free throws have looked shaky the last 3 games. 11-22, including this game. Hopefully just a mini slump.

Is there proof he isn't?

We have 3 more months before the playoffs

Not like he tore anything, I will assume Feb-March

This sucks, but I still see him coming back

Vintage GOATbrook dunk.

Hate how he teases us with these "oh he might be putting it together" before he goes on another 5-game stinker.

You prob can get rid of Russ but the return would be worse.
