Every person in here wants this team to win and get better.
But man...half way through the season and we are at .500.
Who knows what AD does.
But we play a ton of the quality teams this half of the season.
Hopefully we answer the call....
I think I would legit jump for joy if we could trade Russ by the deadline.

I'm optimistic about AD. I think he's sitting out longer to heal all the nagging injuries like Bron did.
No way we 're trading Russ now tho. He's gonna last the season.

I think Westbrook has surpassed D'Antoni and Jim Buss level of hate.

Still think they picked up Russ for his expiring contract as much or more than his basketballing. Either get cap space or trade to a team that wants cap space. I think

I wanted to break something when he did that. I knew it was bad when he was just dribbling the ball wasting time.
The play prior Bron had just drove to the rim for a lay up...I fully expect us to give bron the ball and whatever happens happens...
But the guy who was 0-4 from three thought it was a great idea to chuck up another one...
and let's not talking about his play to close the 3rd where we cut it to 6, he has two immediate bone head plays and we end up down 11....
I bout this close to donating the Lakers Russ shirt I got to goodwill.

This is a Vogel issue. In the last 2-3 minutes of a close game, BENCH HIM. It's simple as that.

Vogel is a part of the problem....I agree...
But players play....
Russ made those choices....

I mean Russ is ultimately at fault, but when things like this happen on a repeated basis, it's up to coaching to fix that. Bron can only keep the ball out of his hand for so long. But Vogel can make the right decision. That's part of great coaching.

We don’t have Phil or Pop or some Coach like that who has the clout and respect to bench a star player.
Those days are over in the NBA.
