Why Jordan playing instead of Howard ?

Is Howard injured or something?

Get LBJ and AD back in there.
The current line-up has to depend on Russ on offense which is not going to work.

It was at his own request. He wanted to play for the Lakers, and told everyone else not to bother.

This stretch is on Vogel.
Awful lineup when we made a min-run.
Now lead back up to 19

Someone has to explain to me why on god's earth Russ still gets minutes. What does he actually do these days? He can't score at all any more and his defense is laughable on a good day. Are we so obsessed with making this idiot happy that we are literally going to throw the season away just so he can be happy?!

Russ was playing "OK" with out Lebron playing, first game back Bron is back, he sucking really bad - It's clear cut that these two aren't meshing well

Going out on a limb here... Knicks and Lakers are discussing trade and both teams have players auditioning... Knicks players are playing on another level right now, and Westbrook is playing like absolute garbage...

Im not saying it's ideal but playing him only diminishes his value at this point. When was the last time he had a game where he was a net positive? Just admit we f-ed up and move on already. He is too dumb to figure anything out.

Please don’t play Westbrook in the second half. Seriously.
