[OFFICIAL] Russell Westbrook as a Los Angeles Laker thread

while i definitely think lebron was in down 40 to rack up some stats (it's all there is for this season), i seriously doubt he was getting a refresher on his own stats, especially since he was having a terrible game and no where near anything like a triple double. he probably didn't need to check a stat sheet to see he was shooting like crap. plus, based on interviews he does at halftime or after games, he seems pretty aware of a lot of stats without being on the sideline staring right at a stat sheet.

 

Lol and what is Vogel supposed to do with this f*ckup of a roster? If anything they should fire Lebron the GM and make some actual reasonable personnel decisions.

The fact that Vogel is being scapegoated for Lebron's follies is just sad (and funny, tbh)

 

The man literally was a championship coach for them two seasons ago.

 

Lebron gets WB, coach gets blamed lmao

 

Vogel's probably happy. He gets an escape from the **** show.

 

Stone: hey lebron! i have a nice development coach to trade, hes also an offensive genius in his free time... do we have a deal?

 

He looks checked out. Who could blame him? The only coach who actually got to run a LeBron team was Spoelstra and that was because Riley did not allow LeBron to have his way. But yeah, he doesn't look like he's trying anymore. Even last night you could point at LeBron's promise as the difference maker. They played their asses off and beat a good team.

 

LeBron should really take some accountability for the **** show that is the Lakers this year. A shame coaches keep getting the blame instead during his career.

 

That's never going to happen, unfortunately. The Bubble Ring made James even more of a deity in LA so that Laker front office isn't going to give him any side eye.

 

I don't understand what you want here, you just admitted somebody that somebody in the media was critcizing and does criticize him a lot so you just made my point.

Just look at how Skip Bayless made a mint hating on Lebron.

 

Wow you really do feel some kind of way about Lebron.

Interesting.

Dude really what is your issue with Lebron It's way too personal, did you lose money because of him?


There are plenty of things to question about Lebron and this team, but now his promise is the difference in them winning and losing?

 

Question: What happens if he benches Westbrook?

This is why it is on him if he is fired
Unless there is a mandate from management that Westbrook cannot be benched
Then he is responsible for putting westbrook in a position to fail

Day to day...

 

“I think, for the most part, the Lakers’ improvement is going to have to come from within,” Wojnarowski said. “They just don’t have tradable assets, especially with so few sellers in the market. There are going to be other teams who can offer those select few sellers better offers than the Lakers will be able to.”

 

I don't get to watch many Laker games, but out of the ones I've seen this season, that game last night was LeBron's most complete game by far. So, I say that his Twitter promise and commitment to fulfilling that promise was a bigger factor in the Lakers beating a good Jazz team than whatever Vogel did.

I say the truth about LeBron, believe it or not. I think he's overrated as a player, top 5 to 7 or so historically, but not in the Mt. Rushmore, top 4, of basketball players. And I think his media cultivated image is fake. So, yeah, that's probably what you're sensing in my posts.

 

This doesnt just apply to Lebron it applies to every team.

 

Lebron gets blamed for Westbrook and Fertitta gets blamed for Westbrook.

 

And a bubble championship as a gift.
