    Trade Russ and two future first round draft picks to Toronto for Lowry. Then, we got it! ;)

    I don't think basketball & analytics has evolved far enough to express how bad Westbrook is as an overall basketball player. Some kind of rhythm or chemistry stat. He kills momentum and has very long stretches of brain fart basketball. Most nights it honestly feels like Rivers is a safer bet.

    I’m sure it happens when you give your best and realize it’s not enough, or one of your best players decide he would rather get some ass then play basketball.

    Damn tony so outmatched. He just doesn’t adjust from game to game. Dude ain’t ever gonna win it all.

    the lakers haven’t stolen ****. The nba stole our spirit if anything. Easy to do when the cards are stacked against the team you’re playing.

    4 mother ****ing field goals in the second.

    Mclemore hits a three and doesn’t play again. Rivers out there missing shots not playing d and turning it over. Don’t get it.

    Thats a problem and the lakers sense it. This is the opposite of Mamba mentality.

    Rockets are distracted and will lose by 25+.

    If you are D'Antoni and KNOW you want out of this ****ing terrible roster - why not go out with a bang?

    Bench RUSTBROOK - for the duration, let him b**** and moan, but **** him......hold him on a super tight leash, one jump in the air turnover, to the bench.

    Go with players who are going to hustle, bring out Cabocolo, or Luc, or Carrol, but if you don't play hard, you sit.

    Switch to a motion offense.....and if Harden walks it up the court, give it to someone else who will run it up and get early looks.


    This is not the 7 seconds or less offense this is all Harden and Rustbrook - neither have the heart of the champion.

    Put a fork in this team. They are done. It’s time to blow it up. New system, coach and players. They have proved they can’t win when it matters with this system. 1 year we had a shot and injuries ruined it.
