    Exactly the problem with our offense at times, where a guy gets into the lane, nobody's open or trying to cut or set a back screen for someone to get open so we end up throwing up a (contested) 3 or turn it over. In any case, while Westbrook could've done more with his possessions, standing still is not going to cut it. We need to adjust.

    Has there ever been bigger jack ass in NBA history? It’s incredible how he treats media so poorly for doing their damn job.

    Imagine working for Westbrook as a driver or any role really, how horrible this POS guy must treat them.

    He’s way too entitled. Needs to humble himself and come back down to earth and realize that there’s a reason star players leave him and go elsewhere (KD, George and maybe Harden next).

    Running around and jacking up threes. Let’s not forget that critically important **** up. We would be WAY better off if he was just running around...

    Just off the top of my head, Draymond. I'll take rude to the media jackassery over playing dirty jackassery any day. In NBA HISTORY you're thinking rude to the media guy is the worst person in NBA history?

    turtle needs to just drive and try to dunk everything. who cares, bulldoze thru any wall the lakers put in front of him. maybe he'll even injure some bad guys in the process

    No, Westbrook is no where close to the biggest jack ass in NBA history. Outside of these media interactions with reporters, dude is seen as a very nice guy off the court, has hardly ever had off the court issues, loves helping his community and is a great family man.

    Russ played like **** yesterday. He deserves scrutiny but him being a jack ass is not a valid one in my opinion.

    He has become a formula for self sabotage.

    JVG made a point last that for most of the season when Team would dbl Harden hard at the toeitmer Russ use to cut hard toward the basket for driving layups. He must be hurt because he didn’t do that once last night

    None of our players really did that though to be fair.

    He definitely has his Jeremy Lin moments. These mistakes could cost us the series

    Russ got Dorted and he is going to keep getting mega open 3's throughout the series. LeBron is going to keep giving him 10 ft to shoot that 3. Russ better figure it out.

    I don’t think Russ will figure it out but MDA will.

    That’s a good succinct summary of what he was doing. Got to get those TO under control also.

    He could step in and shoot the mid range shot. He's been doing it all season. Considering how horrendous he shoots from three, the mid range is a fine option for him.

    Is he wearing the all orange suit to say that he is a prisoner in the Dantoni offense?

    The Lakers didn’t double Harden at the half court line like the other teams do. They completely sag Russ off and Russ would simply drive into a wall.
