What a disaster.

I don't know why LeBron doesn't start the possession with the ball in a clutch situation like that. Russ should not be bringing up the ball

Game was well in hand until Vogel brought Russ back in. I hate this

I don’t mind him having the ball, but what has happened to the two man game with he and LeBron.

That was a very successful play when AD was out. I don’t think I’ve seen it once in this game.

Westbrook literally walking up the court which gives RJ Barrett the wide open 3.

**** this dude. Only gives his energy for rebounds to get triple doubles

The only calls he's gotten are intentional fouls that would've been dunks. This is the face of the league for the last like 13 years wtf man. Don't want to get into the MJ discussion but it's something that MJ never had to deal with as the refs always bent to his will.


Should have at least 7 or 8 free throws in this game. Lakers missed 6 FTs in the last 5 minutes, throwing away a sure win. Sad.

Pelinka has been on the clock for weeks with Russ.. if a trade doesn't get done then fire him.

THT has been ok today. He has grown on me this last few months for his effort plays and defense.

My God that is an awful call. Possible an offensive foul if anything.

if i was lakers i would consider trading russ for Wall at this point straight up, and do it in a hearthbeat if it included Eric Gordon

i will always like russ the person and russ the okc player, but dude **** sucks now

Why would Houston do that without getting back at least a first-rounder?

Yeah he sucks. I felt like earlier in the season he was bad and then he turned a corner with his efficiency.. then he just fell in to a heap of turnovers and now he doesn't know how to make a shot. Hos touch around the rim is gone completely.

Only explanation I can come up with is that his confidence is shattered or he spends too much time with family in LA now and not enough time practicing
