    Just horrible tonight. Unplayable. We played so much better without him.

    Honestly one of the worst performances I've seen in a long time by any former start. Body language was terrible as well

    Monk could hold down the pg spot with Lebron. Russ should come off the bench cause the spacing sucks with him out there.

    If we can get 55 pts combined from russ & lebron each game this team can go deep.

    Stacey King quipped "I'll always remember this as the night that Michael Jordan and I combined to score 70 points."

    Anybody think the part about “having any response they want” is a shot at Russ and his issue with calling him Westbrick?

    We need to be done worrying about him and his feelings. Play him if he’s good like he was in Houston. Bench his @$$ if he sucks like tonight. It’s pretty simple.

    2 for 11 Westbrick, keep it under 10 shots per game, Lakers might win more games

    I loved what Lebron said. He gets it. That’s why I’m so glad he’s a Laker.

    This season Westbrook has been like Manna from a heathen. A pity we can't have a mulligan and bring back the Colonel, KCP and his finger licking manna from heaven. The main problem is Russ can't be a musician he has to be the lead singer. I wish he could go solo.

    Lakers need to seriously sit him down. He is worse than burnt toast. Vogel needs to sit him permanently. No other choice.

    I think they’re afraid to completely tank what little trade value he has left, hoping he will still have a good stretch to close, but it’s just not happening and he’s tanking it on the court. One of our only options may be his value as an expiring to a team with cap space like OKC where they don’t even have to send out matching salary, they can send like half or something, he can retire a Thunder and just go away. Hey I can dream right.


    I think it’s possible, but personally I read it more of him saying boos don’t bother him sort of thing. But yeah, LeBron has like 50 nicknames with variations of his name, Russ has 1, in the grand scheme it’s not the worst thing to be called. LeFraud, LeBronze, LeBum, LeChoke, LeCheat, LeDecision just a few I can think of in this moment, I’m sure there’s a lot more.

    Same, I just don’t want to PAY him to go away. The thought of stretching him and his 16 mil being on the books eating cap space for 3 seasons makes me sick.

    Russell is a big FU from Vogel to the FO. Frank asked for RW to be gone and the FO has responded with "make our 91 million asset work" He doesn't know how to make him work so it's a big FU to the FO as we watch the destruction. Vogel doesn't care, he's got his laker salary,
    Westbrook similarly doesn't care.
