    If there’s someone being grossly overrated it’s Westbrook by you.

    You are too much. I keep watching the clip and see the same thing over and over. Monk is Russ’s man period. Once he throws the ball in Russ loses him IMMEDIATELY and isn’t guarding ANYBODY out there, he’s freaking lost until he spots Monk again over on the sideline ready to shoot and knows it’s his man and goes running over. Late as hell. What do you mean we can’t expect Russ to chase him all the way over there ”off of 2 screens”?? LMAO. No one came close to screening Russ! All he had to do was take the shorter straight line under both those guys that didn’t come close to picking him ….. IF he had kept his eye on Monk in the first place who took the more circular route to get there. He guarded NO ONE instead and watched the ball until he realized HIS man got the pass and was going to shoot it. It was a typical brain fart where he just didn’t think to keep his eye on his own man once he threw the ball in.

    Nonsense. If Powell didn't leave his man and head toward the paint for no reason at all, Monk doesn't have an opportunity to even get that shot off. Shrug. Hopefully WE can take advantage of both of them on April 5th.

    Lol..Thankfully he was grossly overrated by someone else, to the tune of receiving 3 starters for him. Worked out great didn’t it?

    Lakers make the largest comeback in the league this season, down 27 pts.., While shooting 43% from the field, and 17.6% from three. Awesome

    If we let these guys walk this summer to sign Kyrie, we riot. THIS is the formula, depth and shooting around 2 stars.

    At least there's this today


    Most people Eric spoke to believe that Kyrie stays in Dallas.

    Better we play the more likely we stay the course with the current roster.

    Common sense would say that, but then you look at the championship team. After winning we went pretty far away from the model that worked.

    I have to believe (or at least hope and pray) the front office learned its lesson during the last two years.

    The blueprint here is simple - shooters and depth to go with our big two and we’re a competitive team that can beat a lot of teams. Hopefully we will resist Star chasing this time.

    If we let them walk for Kyrie this will end with me in jail.

    Why not try to get Will Barton. Lakers can play him on Booker and Vando on Durant
