    Ok let’s please not go down this road right now. Smush is my least favorite Laker of all time. He was jealous of Kobe and acted like a little you know what. Do you remember what he said post game after Kobe’s 81 points? Something to the effect of “well there are other guys here who contributed too,” lol. He was so bitter. Kobe couldn’t stand him and called him the worst. He had nothing but love for Westbrook. I’m going to give Russ the whole year before I start to really evaluate him. We’ve been decimated with injuries and we have 9 new players on this team.

    Really hard to like a guy who does this sort of thing: like WTF are you supposed to think if you're one of his teammates or coaching staff.

    A 3-2 zone still means you have to put a body on someone

    in fairness, i think reaves can't give up a baseline drive there. it's a 3/2 not a 2/3 it looks like, which means you don't have help under the rim but do in the middle.

    honestly, much like vogel said, he was just trying to junk up the game at that point. any competent nba offense should shred that zone, particularly with those players. who's defending the bucket there? use russ as a center on offense, not on defense!

    Hahaha I know I’m not reading Smush references. Boys it’s still early in the year. Save those gems for later if he’s still awful lol.

    Someone opened up the Smush? Gawd no. Seal that back up and tuck it back under the Kwame Brown in the back of the fridge.

    You can’t judge like that. There is a whole season to play.

    He made games unwatchable for me. Simply superugly and dumb basketball.

    Slowass Hayward, coming of multiple replaced legs just blew by him without Dumbrick even paying attention.

    f*** off, Russel. Want to play "home"? Go play for the Clippers.

    And before anyone jumps on me for the triple-double -- unwatchable, regardless of the stats. Dumb turnoevers all over the 4th. No defense.

    Par for the course.

    Goddamn. You have a guy shooting 70% from 3 and he doesn't get the ball in the last 3 minutes. God-f***ing-damn.

    Vogel doesn't know how to call plays or run sets down the stretch of games at all. We play freelance pickup ball for the entire game.

    Westbrook was so bad to finish the game. How hard is it just not to turn the ball over.? All you got to do is get over half court and set up the play

    Last 10 minutes of the game, save for a dime to AD to foul out Plumlee, were excruciating.
