dude is straight trash and should show up in games where both lebron and ad are out

Ain’t no fun watching Russ brick from point-blank range

hot ass tonight, horrible shot selection and bad turnovers. but hey, at least he “had fun”

HE IS UNPLAYABLE IN PLAYOFF. Better trade him now than only have 30 millions in cap space next season

I guess he had fun padding his meaningless stats tonight, that’s all that matters to him
Cucklord4646
Even Russ stans gotta admit, in games without lebron and ad, Russ should have 30+

I know it’s a positive message, but I quite loathe that quote. It makes sense, but the way he said it like we shouldn’t be serious about every single game we’re going to play. Pisses me off

Shoulda taken better care of the ball thats a fact but he fought back in the 2nd half. Schroder came back to earth this game too. They had no shot at this game for the most part. However, u have to factor many guys being out. Many g league guys coming thru given how many guys are out. To those sayin empty stats if he did nothing and they lost by 40 yall would say he quit. So u can’t have it both ways. Bron scored a lot last yr in a similar fashion.

Haha I like this energy I hope Russ keeps it up.
Honestly Russ plays best when he’s just hooping. If he’s going to play we don’t want him getting in his head too much.

Russ doesn’t know to play a sequence of more than 2 passes. He would always attack – pass and if the pass isn’t good it’s TO with points for the other team.

Guards just wanna have fun

Russ is just the wrong person to be saying it. It’s like when Dwight said he is ‘already a champion’ when he never won a ring and his sole reason was that he was a wealthy NBA player who won DPOY 4x, etc.,
Russ is saying just have fun but it’s easy to say that when you’re getting paid $47 million and the expectations to win isn’t placed solely on you but guys like LeBron, the coaching staff, etc., If it was LeBron saying that, well, he deserves to be at the stage of his career to make those comments… he’s already an accomplished champion. Russ isn’t.
Yeah, go have fun… but fun shouldn’t be at the expense of winning unless you think losing is fun.

I hate this. Dude talks like we are some pee wee team.
It’s a competitive sport, winning is fun. That’s it, nothing else matters.

Russ is the only reason this game was even watchable and the reason the lakers cut the lead to 5 multiple times. He was aggressive getting to the paint he did his best you ask him to be the primary ball handler for the game and he has 7 turnovers but who’s playing around him Pat bev goes out … etc. usually I do blame Russ but Russ was best laker tonight. Anyone blaming him are just scapegoating him

Nothing wrong with what Russ said in itself, but Ham and Bron were encouraging aggression with “Let’s get greedy”. Having fun is fine, but not really in the same line of thinking of what the other two said.
deion_snaders
As if Bron isn’t about fun. Russ and Bron are very much alike.

It’s gonna be real hard for this sub to make me hate this man. He might not be consistently at his best, and he might be earning more than he warrants, but this attitude just shows that he managed to keep that child inside that so many of us let die as we grow older.

This sub is super weird towards all of the stars and is usually people piling in without even watching games.
I didn’t expect the lakers to get even close tonight against the Nuggets so these replies are super weird towards Russ.

I don’t understand you guys. The Lakers just played the #1 seed in the West without LeBron and AD. Is it not expected to lose when you don’t have 2 of the top 15 guys in the league to a healthy Nuggets?
How are you guys still talking about Russ? He’s on a shit contract for the Lakers but that’s not the fault of Westbrook.
There’s way too much talent to be talking about the same old shit with Russell and his massive contract, or his decision making.
Get over it. He’s not changing and the Lakers are most likely not going to contend for the title unless AD and LeBron are fully healthy come playoff time with a seeding.

I’m not having fun

I don’t think i’ve ever seen a more garbage dump of a fanbase than the lakers.
Seriously just trash, complete vomit diarrhea

I honestly don’t blame KD for leaving OKC because I am sure he realized at one point that Russ is not *that* guy
