Felt like he should’ve played more tonight
man fuck this account. “stats.”
Must be the great playmaking and looks he’s getting his teammates, that lockdown d even on the likes of Zion, and his scoring
Honestly i might not want him to close games any game, but without him we probably won’t make the playoffs
He’s unironically been our 2nd best player most nights since his benching. Small sample size and Bron isn’t right, but still good for him. Hope he keeps it up.
Off the bench

Regardless of how well he does, I hope and believe Lebron will get back to being Lebron. I just hope all this nice play does not change him coming off the bench, not because I don’t fux with him but because him and Lebron do not work well together on the court.
I think part of why he’s been playing well is the reduced minutes. He comes in with high energy bursts, attacks the basket, and gives legitimate effort defensively.
If he was making $16M as a bench guy, he’d be great. Unfortunately he makes $47M, and is the only tool we have to get some real depth on this team.
Lowkey I think the big 3 can find they rhythm.
Russ knows his role know, AD and Bron do they thing plus Lonnie coming thru as well slowly. They can be solid.
Get rid of Nunn Dennis and Dame for shooters.
Trade Bron/AD for picks and lets tank with Russ.
That way the Lakers are better in the future, and Russ can pile up his counting stats to get another contract.
His defensive impact has been immense.
This is a weird situation. Lebron looks worse now that Russ is playing better
Bench lebron
I was at the game and there were chants for Westbrook to be subbed into the game in the 4th.
Ninja turtle fans celebrating
This was one of those games where AD disappeared, mostly in the second half. He wasn’t in the post grounding the offense. He wasn’t attacking on either end of the floor. No intensity. I’m tired of seeing this hot and cold behavior from him.
Bron is off. As annoying as that is at the moment, I can’t rag on him too much. Out of anyone, he’s shown up the most and worked the hardest over the past few seasons.
Westbrook haters in shambles rn
Watches the eye test. Feels like our offense falls apart the second he leaves the game
