    Great news. We should be able to beat up on them since they're without Edwards and Prince. At the same time, I thought that about a Luka-less Mavs and it took AR-15 heroics to keep that from double OT.

    If IT does come does he go back to the same G-League team after the 10 days I wonder? And I forgot …. how many of those 10 days can you string together or total in the same season?

    I expect Westbrook to carry the offense more and I think he will do great. I have confidence in him to be productive and give us a shot to win many games for the next 6 weeks until AD returns.

    Yay! Westbrook is a good offensive player.
    Meanwhile, in the world of TEAM basketball, the Los Angeles Lakers have only beat three teams over .500.
    Let’s raise a banner for Russ’ accomplishments so far. Oh wait, we don’t do that in Lakerland. We are all about the TEAM’s success. Individuals only get their jerseys raised, and the rare few, get awarded a statue after they have led multiple TEAMS to Championships.

    These things are all true, but all indications are his play is improving with his new team. The results aren’t there yet, and there a myriad of debatable reasons why, but it appears he should not be the designated scapegoat at this time.

    No, he really shouldn't. While he's not the ideal fit, he does what he can and is playing well for us now.

    russ's advanced stats are bad and by far the worst of his career. but honestly, so are lebron's and AD's. what's the opposite of synergy?

    Westbrook is not hurting us right now. Far from it in fact. Love his drive and energy.

    We wouldn't be talking about Westbrook's play at all if he made half the salary which allowed us to keep Caruso and sign a couple competent wing defenders that could shoot even 37% from three. Westbrook is OK on the court.

    What advanced stats specifically? Why? What does it mean? What can be done different?

    Can you please share the source too? Thanks
