    Russ every night even after a meaningful loss... until he has to talk to the media

    As usual, Russ is just unplayable with both Lebron and AD

    It’s more he’s unplayable and can’t be counted on ever in big games (especially) because of mathematics. For every 1-2 good plays there are 2-3 bad plays MOST games. The 180 degree different photos of his and James’s expressions walking back to locker room after that crushing loss in Boston says a LOT … he doesn’t SEEM to give that much of a f*** about any of it. Certainly while this silly a** team doesn’t “know who he is” and chooses to bring him off the bench and sit him in crunch time. THIS stage/state of his career for all that I just said.

    From. Myself I hate loosing don't care if it's bball PS5 Xbox poker slots FXKIN hate it so that basicly explains 2 things

    1. A winner who does this for both names on the jersey

    2.someone who is content with his play did all he could and had fun no matter the outcome( a loss to this player doesn't bother him doesn't use it as fire to motivate yourself ... Doesn't regard himself in high standard)

    In that photo he looks like one of us, after we realized we'd just been paid $47M to do what he did last night.

    Bron, on the other hand, was absolutely pissed. Justifiably so.

    I hope it doesn’t happen again as it would be terrible but some of that great amount of goodwill I predicted he would buy himself if he went to the bench and played hard rather than be a distraction over it, with Laker Fan’s frustration growing about this season, could be diminishing a bit over some of the bad plays and their ill effect on the team in those games, especially if losses. All it could take at home is a ridiculous air ball or pass or turnover or brain fart in a game in crunch time again that looks like it’s going to cost us the game ….. and some knucklehead to start off a loud round of boos.

    i know his general life philosophy (and actually agree with it). but i wonder if someone close to him might say "you know you'll possibly be out of the league next year if the lakers miss the playoffs with you looking like this", and that might lock him in a bit. probably not, as it seems you're not allowed to talk to him in this manner, but it would do him good to consider that these last 30 games could be it for him if the team doesn't do better.

    Sad that most superstars who come here on their last legs become mediocre and it’s not just Brick through out the years. It’s just LeBron who stayed near his peak but he’s always been a phenom.

    OMG that’s incredible the power of those new “laser searchlights” …. from the west coast can see the silhouette of Russ’s face bouncing off the dark side of the quarter moon …. forget the clouds. :giggle:

    i think he's a competitor, though. hard to imagine he wants to be forced into early retirement or have to be a backup in cleveland for the mini mle or something.

    yikes; perhaps i'll rescind my interest in levert, too.

    very curious to see how dillon brooks fares in FA. i could see some team spending big to try to lure him from memphis...and regretting it.

    Nobody is trading for Russ.
    Just stop hoping- nobody wants him and for all the right reasons.
    LeBron is stuck with this experiment through the remainder of this season.
