IMO looks pretty similar to just before the injury. Maybe a bit rusty/gunshy but pretty encouraging.

Missed the first quarter but I think he’s looked pretty good in the second. Has attacked the rim several times.

Westbrook with a familiar 1-7 shooting performance to go along with a cool -24 :lol:

As soon as Westbrook got benched the Lakers went on a run to close the half. That guy is poison.

Think Westbrook can have a hot shooting 2nd half performance and help close the gap in time to throw away the game with another final possession Westbrook special.

At what point should the Lakers just send Russ home? I think it's clear he's beyond salvaging

Now.

I’m 100% serious that they should just cut him or send him home or do something. They would be a better team if he was getting DNP’d.

LeBron looks how he did pre-knee issues. Good signs.

AD continues to look great.

The rest of the roster, led by Westbrook, looks like a nightmare.

LeBron team concern is literally the NBA media’s bread and butter. Nothing else can quench their cancerous hunger for gossip.

LeBron teams go on a National TV dive around this time every season. There has to be concern/ doubt, but they can’t be out of it completely.

NBA media depends on this formula.

Vogel does not have the balls to do something like that. He is a rah, rah beta buddy, grab ass, sycophant who would never do something like that (because it might ruffle feathers).

Lol of course Russ bricks one at the rim to kill the momentum. Trash.

Monk single handedly leading this comeback on O.

AD looking like 2020 AD defensively.

AmIWrongDude · Post #874 » by **AmIWrongDude** » Sun Feb 6, 2022 3:14 am

Wow Monk is killing it! Not gonna lie tho he's insane for not hitting AD on the wide open cut lol

Oh yeah he’ll absolutely never do it. It’s rare enough for him to bench Russ during a single game. The players benching Vogel and telling him not to come is more likely :lol:

Russ will keep getting his 30+ mpg and the results will be what we’ve seen them be all season.

I’ve busted AD’s balls quite a bit this year but he looks really good. This is what I’ve wanted to see from him since the start of last season.

AD looks like a man possessed :lol:

He looks like Bubble AD minus the shooting. I'm wondering if losing the weight (if he even did) is what's helping so much because he looks way more agile than earlier in the season.

The thing is he's mainly getting "easy" buckets and putbacks and being active on the boards which is what I always thought was perfect for him.

Such a great example of why the NBA needs to find a solution to these bull fast break intentional fouls. We've been robbed of so many LeBron highlights because of this trash.

It's crazy
