    Well this is he life of being a celebrity figure. When you do well, you get all the glory. When you do bad, you are shamed in public.

    My personal opinion is the people who are JUST NOW in 2022 finally jumping on the Russ sucks truth wagon deserve more criticism for their crap basketball opinions then Westbrook does for his bad play.

    This has been going on for years!

    Man, it feels so good to watch this clown on the Lakers.

    Will never heal the scars of the CP3 trade, but I get some good feels nonetheless. Him and LeBron on the Lakers, the 3 entities I hate most in the league all together in one place...failing.

    I agree, just one statement like "I'll have to shift my focus for now away from scoring to doing other things to help the team win, whether I'm starting or not" would make him so much more sympathetic. But he just doesn't have that gear. The foundation of his game has always been a ridiculous level of confidence. I don't see how he can suddenly change that now.

    I'm embarrassed at how much I'm enjoying the Lakers and the Nets right now. It's probably unhealthy... but... heh heh.

    His ego is too damn big. He is going to leave the game similarly to Allen Iverson. Allen could never handle that he was no longer a starter or a top scoring option for the team.

    When the Rockets are this bad, we have to take our pleasure where we can.

    Two places that might take him: New York and Charlotte. New York cause it sounds like a Knickerbockerian thing to do and Charlotte because it sounds like a Jordanian thing to do. He's also a Jordan athlete and did recently have his best game against Charlotte.

    As disastrous as the Chris Paul trade was and as painful as the Harden divorce was, it was all mitigated just a tad by being able to unload Westbrook to Washington right away. It would have been unbearable to be stuck with him as the focal point of the Rockets for the duration of his contract.

    ***** getting ugly. Russ, Vogel, and Bron taking passive aggressive potshots at each other through the media.

    Wow! That is not an endorsement. Definitely some tension between those two.
