    A new low. Laker fans can be brutal but this is self inflicted.

    It's abundantly clear Russ and Lebron's styles are not meshing

    Can we fake a Covid protocol just to see a Monk/THT backcourt starting?

    I think he's in his own head.

    Hope he snaps out of it.

    Worst game of the season for Russ. Not necessarily just because he didn’t play well, but he gave up in the second half - only took 3 shots in a whole half and got benched in overtime.

    When you have a player like him it’s not ok to take 3 shots in a half. If he isn’t attacking or setting the table for others he isn’t using his main weapons.

    How easy some of these games should have been? Have you seen the rest of this roster?

    As far as fit? Been saying that for weeks and bashing him.

    But I'm prepared for him to come back next season. Nobody else wants him.

    Is what it is.

    Benching him made the team play way better. He needs to come off the bench now.

    Imagine if Ben Simmons was 5 inches shorter, didn’t play defense, had the bball IQ of Javale McGee, and made 44 million dollars.

    Didn't Houston offer John Wall for WB if we attached our precious 2027 first round pick?

    Stayed. Spoke to the media. In good spirits. That'll help minimize some of the talk about the benching vs. the Indy game where he was instructed not to talk to the media and just left.

    He needs to be told to stay home. No reason for him to even be on the court. We are helping better team if he retires.

    He needs to f****** go, whether it’s off the team, off the active roster, he just f****** sucks at basketball, doesn’t play defense, can’t shoot, and I’m so god damn tired of saying these things. 1 for 10? 1!!? 5 f****** points from your starting PG making 44 million dollars. I’d trade him for Wall right now just to have him off the roster, because at least you don’t have to play Wall, I can’t take it anymore.

    The defense part is just brutal. He doesn't run back, the missed layups put the other 4 in terrible position, he gets lost off ball.

    Had to be replaced by a 21 yo poor offensive player but plays tough defense - just ouch

    By far his worst game as a Laker. He was horrid. The benching was good. Ugly performance tonight.
