    Asking someone to take in more Westbrook content is like asking people to poke their eyes out with dull forks.

    This needs to be the starting lineup moving forward.

    Yes, small sample size, and I'd still probably replace Bev.

    However, replacing Russ alone would do wonders...

    Yeah... it was puzzling to see. I am sad to have been right... it is indeed, a circus.

    we'd be a little thin, but tbh, if we just bench russ entirely, we're in the play-in at least.

    There's no reason not to be. I will be disappointed if that's not the closing unit on Wednesday and a group that plays for at least 15min together

    Turns out the Laker Players have been running lots in practice so that we can be uber conditioned for the playoffs. They are all dealing with dead legs from over training, so the shots just aren't going on.

    This is no big deal, and it will pay huge dividends down the road when we have the strength and endurance to hound the opposing team for 48 minutes up and down the court on D and still hit our shots. This may be a championship roster when you think about it.

    To have an entire team so willing to put in the work that not a single player has the legs to hit long jumpers? That is legendary. Keep it up guys!

    Nets are worse than we are. 3 all stars, definitely a more competent roster, yet 1-5. We suck, but so do they, and I feel like we have more excuses. Also I feel like we dodged a bullet with Kyrie, and they could have had 2 probable lottery picks, they blew it.

    It just feels good, even if it's one game, that we shot a respectable % from 3 AND played hard defense. Everyone was engaged and involved. Westbrook was a beast today.
