So Westbrook going to hog all the shots? I mean, why the hell would you go over the screen on Westbrook if he is at the three point line.
Good luck to any coach trying to tell Westbrook how he should play. Russ gonna do Russ things, whether you want him to or not.
Lakers are playing chess while the rest of the NBA is playing checkers. Lakers giving Westbrook the green light on catch-and-shoot shots means that he won't be handling the ball on any given possession AND he'll camp his ass at the 3 point line expecting to shoot a 3. LeBron simply doesn't have to pass to him, while Westbrook pulls his own defender away. LeBron and AD playing 4v4 basketball while Westbrook stands as far away from the play as possible? Win-win.
maybe if it was Harden standing at the 3 point line lol or even halfcourt I remember teams ignoring Russ to go double Harden
Yeah, I don’t think Russ is pulling any defenders away by standing at the 3-point line. Lakers won’t be playing 4on4, they’ll be playing 4on5.
I agree with you, plus 45 million a season is quite the price to pay a player who you intend to freeze out of the offense.
Westbrook better cherish that contract he has because he’s not getting that kind of money anymore. He looks worse than a G league player, smh.
LeBron and AD look about the same height. Lakers played all there starters just to lose to the warriors bench.
