Nate? Boston has their star players in to close but Atlanta still has the bench unit in?

CHA showing that they are not ready for prime time. How do you get dominated by Westbrook?

The Hornets aren’t a good team.
G - James | Rondo
G - Bradley | Caruso
F - Green | Caldwell-Pope
F - Davis | Kuzma | Morris

Trade James and Davis and build around Westbrook and LA scrubs.

Vogel goes 5 out with Westbrook and we make a run.

Westbrook looks like Goatbrook again against this Hornets defense.

Westbrook looks REALLY good out there and in his element when the paint isn't clogged.

Also lit a fire underneath the team even when he was out the game. Body language was still uplifting.

Just a hooper and a good teammate.

This is arguably the best quarter of basketball from Westbrook this season.

Happy for Westbrook, and I don't particularly like the guy.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Crazy what not pouting like a little bitch after every bad possession can do for team chemistry.

Doncic will be goat. Lauri will be his sidekick.
