  1. Westbrook stagnated so much, we’re talking about him like an up-and-coming star, after an MVP season. “He’s developing a corner three.”

  2. so you not gonna talk about lebron's defense? why Lakers always play 4v5 on defense, russ aint the biggest problem, do your homework.

  3. Ohh jesus the bubble. Stop talking about the bubble. No one cared about the bubble. Look at every other lebron year. That is your baseline

  4. Coach Ham maybe right with the adjustments we all know russ is a ball dominant player but a turnover specialist lol so bringing him off the bench maybe can help them with ad and bron resting but I doubt it will be helpful bcoz of their lack of catch and shooter and 3D wing player

  5. The Lakers' "bubble" team didn't have a whole lot of three point shooting, and it had even less playmaking off the dribble. Offensively they relied heavily on skip passes and lobs from LeBron as the primary PG. Those plays allowed less-than-stellar players to have success, since they were so wide open. There's no reason why this group can't replicate that success. Jones and Davis are excellent lob threats, and there's no reason to think Walker, Reeves, Beverly and Nunn can't replicate much of what Caruso, Green, Rondo, and KCP did. Notice I excluded Russ, because he is, IN FACT, the Lakers biggest problem.

  6. I'd trade russ for some bench 3 point guys at this point. Dennis and Pat Bev are much more serviceable as guards

  7. Westbrook isn't the biggest problem.

    Proceeds to talk for 8 straight minutes why he's a problem. Cool

  8. Title: Why Westbrook isn’t the biggest problem for the lakers

    The whole video: Literally explains why Westbrook is terrible on both offense and defense for the lakers 😂

  9. Without Westbrook these Lakers are LOST. The team and coaches are just weak, Westbrook can’t be blamed for not using him the right way.

  10. russ IS the BIGGEST problem , title misleading .
    bro never played defense last year with hoping he would be the primary ball handler , what about the bench drama ? i really love your videos always but cmon . its obvious that russ ego ruins the team , always been that . russ a low iq player with crazy athletic abillities

  11. why russ isnt the lakers biggest problem , also russ after a nice pass by schroder : 1:19 .
    bballbreakdown do u hate lebron ? lmfao

  12. Biggest problem is Lebron calling himself the GOAT.

    Let's see how many hate i'll get.

  13. I fell bad for Russ. he just isn't the man he used to be. ive been saying for years though, he needs to spend about a good year or so with D Rose, learn how to change with the new tools he's been delt, and go on a BIG OL HUMBLE DIET! 👍 or…. just like many NBA Stars before him, watch his NBA career die… (Most notably, A.I. it's actually quite insane to see a career go almost the exact same way.) it really makes me sad to see this.
    But either way, if Russ changes his style to better fit his age, and the ever growing NBA, or If he continues to try and play like a Star, while he physically can't, and mentally frustrates himself into making dumb plays that just put him into a quicksand situation. The man deserves RESPECT! He has always been a good man, always made time for fans and especially kids and as someone who lives in Oklahoma, i can tell you that he always was nice, respectful, and understanding when it came to fans, even when they lost.
    Even at his worst he could still beat 99.9 percent of you trash talking fools.

  14. i really hope the Lakers get minimum attention this year as we already know that their poorly constructed roster will cause poor basketball. i know people gravitate towards drama but im mostly interested in xs and os that do work and players that do care.

  15. Tricked me with the title. Everyone knows Russell is their biggest problem.

  16. Don’t let this video distract you from the fact that Lebron is the all time leader in Turnovers who stat eclipses everyone else and is not even in the top 5 in assists.

  17. plus three point closing out and defending – and the Lakers don' t have enough of that either.

  18. it has become more than obvious that the Lakers need a rebuild after the era LBJ which after all should come fairly soon. When LBJ does not deliver at LEAST a finals participation to the Lakers, they cannot afford to keep him, nor AD.

  19. lakers will not get any better with lbj in, he just cannot change, so everything is surrounding him but he is in his decline
    all in all, Russel is lbj's karma of taking shrothcut building super teams years and years, u didnt see that coming, right?
