I don't think the 10 straight has much to do with "getting up for a championship effort" as much as it is, the Lakers being a bad team for most of those games.The Clippers always play us like it's their championship, think we've lost 10 straight since PG and Kawhi came. If it happens, the extra juice they'll have, yea they'll beat us.
I could potentially see this going well. If the Clippers play Russ 15-20 minutes per game against second units in order to push the pace and, more importantly, keep him away from closing lineups I could see this being a net positive.
I just hope that the Clippers didn't make Russ any promises regarding a role or playing time. If This rumor is true and the Clippers plan to start Russ once he gets acclimated, this team is doomed and they clearly didn't watch Russ on the Lakers for the last year and a half.
Westbrook's issue is that he has shown a complete inability to adapt his game to a specific scheme or coaching style. He only knows how to go one speed. If the Clippers start Russ and play him big minutes they're looking at a quick, first round exit.
Regular season Westbrook is easy to game plan against and playoff Westbrook is even easier to gameplay against. I remember in the bubble, the Lakers completely figured out Westbrook and just stopped guarding him later in that series.

Unlike those Rockets or Lakers The Clippers have the luxury of not relying on Russell Westbrook at all though. If things don't work out, They can just take away his minutes and they will still be a high level team.
I've watched them all and, TBH, I feel like the Lakers were playing just as hard or harder than the Clippers.I don't think the 10 straight has much to do with "getting up for a championship effort" as much as it is, the Lakers being a bad team for most of those games.
Honestly brother, the Lakers play harder consistently more than the clippers period.I've watched them all and, TBH, I feel like the Lakers were playing just as hard or harder than the Clippers.
It's almost as though these people don't realize they're writing the same articles over and over. "This time it's going to be different for Westbrook because XYZ reasons."

Hopefully he starts and finishes there.How many games before Russ is put on the bench?
Even if that was true, I don't think it has much to do with the clippers beating the Lakers in head to head matchups.Yea beg to differ the effort they consistently give us is not what they have vs the rest of the league.

Bev wasn’t on the Clippers last season and they still were 4-0 against the Lakers.That was Beverley's championship every year.
