We just added my third favorite player in the league

I laughed at the Carmelo pick up but he's been there best addition.

Lakers have to start Horton, when healthy. They desperately need to get more athletic.

Glaring last night.

LBJ in the post-game interview was still stumbling for words about playing with Westbrook. 😅
Are you referring to one of our rim protectors?

As long as you think playing lockdown defense against a bottom 3 team is a real accomplishment.

Avery fucking Bradley plays lockdown against everyone and it's not just about his on the ball defense, his defensive instincts are finely tuned, he made an anticipatory sick rotation a few nights ago, it was LBJ like in his ability to snuff out actions.

"Asked about his last two plays in the game, Russell Westbrook turned prickly.

He had turned the ball over with 21 seconds left and the Lakers down 103-101. He had dribbled the ball up court and wound up throwing it out of bounds.

With the Lakers down three, Westbrook missed a three-pointer with 3.5 seconds left."



Some things never change...be careful what you wish for LeBron.

Russell no muscle last night.

13 shot attempts. One make in 30 minutes.

You would think with Davis out early he'd
be the Russell of old.

Now just plain old.

At this point in his career, Russ needs to be a sixth man.

He gives energy off the bench. He's not efficient to start
anymore.

Westbrook played with reckless abandon early in his career.

At 32 years old, his career appears to be on the decline.

Unlike Steph Curry at 33, Russell's game is not aging very well.

I couldn't bear to watch. His game is so unaesthetically pleasing, if that's even an expression.

Aesthetically unpleasing, I think.

I remember chuckling at Russell Westbrook last season when he was busting his ass in the All-Star Game.

The guy is a feisty competitor.

Sounds better.

He's all brawn, no brain. Use your head and your skills to benefit this team..... word is that he doesn't like to sit for too long and Frank is accomodating that. Fuck that, you play when I say you play and you sit when I say you sit.

You need to realize two things:

Becky and I's lineup for tonight's game would have been the following:

5. AD
4. LBJ
3. Bazemore
2. The HillBilly Kobe / Monk (flip a coin to decide)
1. Avery

Politically, this wouldn't fly as Westbrook is omitted but Becky and I aren't Politicians, we're Coaches.

1. They were trapping this guy

2. You're fucked

I don't know who said it but Westbrook is the best worst player in the NBA.

Individually, he's a Phenom.... Collectively, he's a fucking mess. However.... I did watch the full Heat game and while I wouldn't heap the kind of praise on him that many are, I was encouraged by his performance.

Westbrook a very low IQ player, can't shoot, makes poor decisions, and is a turnover machine

Lakers have the worst 3rd Q point differential in the NBA.

What is Vogel doing at halftime?

Zones are killing the Lakers this year.

Everyone is utilizing it on them.

It would be scary without Anthony finding his shot.

Got a chuckle looking at 538 (Nate Silver's group): Lakers final record projected at 37-45, 31% chance of making playoffs, 0.3% chance of winning the title.
The real danger of veteran teams like this is players start begging out when things go south. So much money is tied to the big 3, they are hard to replace.

Unfortunately Westbrook is un-tradeable with that contract. Plus no way LeBron
admits it was a mistake.

Heild was there for the taking. James went for the buddy system.

LMAO. Four Eyes won't Lay that garbage.

I'll take UniBron to win the Title at 333.33, please.

I wonder, what's my edge on that........

Guess whose back?

Back again?

Kid Dyn-O-Mite is back, tell a friend

Oh yeah, when we get the other half of our team back and they can actually play together, you're fucked and you got 14 minutes to go, Bro.
