    I mean: it's in the top 3.

    The Brooklyn game on Christmas was pretty bad. The game against Sac where they were playing the song "Cold as Ice" after he brick he shot in the 4th quarter.

    You can also pick a game in January before the road trip where he was awful.

    It's just sad @ this point. I don't know what we do, LJ. I've gotten to the point where I'm okay with him coming back next year in a bench role.

    That's just because I don't think anybody else wants him. Shrugs.

    What’s the worst that can happen? He doesn’t work out and we dump him- just like we will do to Russ. Cap flexibility remains intact.

    I will never forget the TNT crew showing Russ’ reel of these shots and Kenny saying, “that’s from the same game, right?”

    It is really sad LVBD. I mean it’s not for lack of trying. The guy obviously is thrilled to be back home in LA and playing for the Lakers.

    But he has struggled to figure out how to play with Lebron especially. He just hasn’t been effective and they are running out of time to make it work. Tonight he was just abysmal.

    He should have been a Clipper. That’s a great match.

    LMAO who at Elias Bureau was tasked with looking up that information and what year did they start keeping a column for that stat? Is there really one after rebounds or assists or other column that has “Side of backboard clank” at the top?

    :Laugh:

    Yeah, maybe we can work out something this summer with him coming off the bench.

    I really want to evaluate Nunn; if he looks decent, we could start him next season when he opts in.

    Just throwing stuff @ the wall. Lol.

    I’ve also started to put a lot of hope (maybe too much) into Nunn coming back. I mean tonight it would have been perfect to sub in Nunn instead of Westbrook. We have literally been without our backup PG all season long. Eff these injuries.

    Who didn’t know those boos were going to come loud and hard at some point. A lot of fans in the stands are on these Laker message boards. Some terrible shot now or repeated terrible shots or brain fart turnovers …. just takes one guy with a set of lungs on him to start off a full chorus. This has the potential to be worse than what Kwame got. Yikes.

    The problem is if you observe him the whole game here which I watched via replay first time in months , he’s just not making any effort on defense, not running back not hustling. He’s like the weight they put on great horses to handicap them.

    I’m sure in his head he feels he fell on a grenade for the team and sacrificed his entire style of how he plays the game and now he’s messed up “because” of that …. not that he sucks and has all the bricks and TOs when he plays like he wants to and this weak roster can’t overcome them.

    Worst part is he doesnt understand this. He thinks its all about his numbers. He thinks the flack he gets or the sacrifices he makes are due to his numbers.

    Sounds like Frank has had it with his defense and not going to put up with it. Now that he’s benched him twice in the 4th and Frank’s Lakers world didn’t end because of it … it gets easier each time and he can tell him exactly why. On top of the terrible other play on offense.

    Breaking news : Lakers won a title with Lebron as the PG ... Stop playing one with him down the stretch unless the PG can shoot which isn't the case with Westbrook/THT
