Russ is probably the most idiotic basketball player i’ve had the displeasure of watching
GET WESTBROOK THE FUCK OFF THIS TEAM ALREADY
LeBron is dropping 46 at his age like it’s nothing 🐐 .
get rid of Russ, get one more shooter, get AD, Reeves and Lonnie back and I still think we can turn this around in the second half of the season. Fuck the Clippers.
Trade brickbrook
We should have those lebron deadline posts but until westbrook is traded
Get Bron some help
Why can’t we ever beat these cunts man
well that was grim
My heart breaks for lebron, it’s so sad
Pain.
Wasted a Lebron masterpiece
Embarrassing.
Westbrook’s highs are not worth his lows please trade him
Russ was the clippers’ mvp tonight
WestBrick lost us another game
TRADE WESTBRICK’S ASS GAHDAMMIT
Shout out Russell Westbrook 🧱Brodie was definitely the best player on the clippers tonight #WHYNOT
We needed Kendrick Nunn to win this game.
For all the people that say Russ is important to the team and we need him. Games like tonight is the reason he should be traded when he is bad he’s really bad and kills the team. I also don’t trust Ham to not play Russ in a big spot in a game that really matters when he should be benched. Just got to trade the dude
What is the chance of Russ actually getting traded? People have wanted him gone ever since he joined but he’s still here. Please get him off this team
This franchise truly got murdered on July 29, 2021.
win lose or draw shitbricks is out there to make lebron miserable and have fun
This team won’t be a serious playoff team until Russ and Bev are BOTH traded for positive players. No trade means they aren’t serious
TRADE RUSS. WE ARE VERY UNDERSIZED AGAINST CLIPPERS. We need MORE WINGS or Player with 6’8 and above.
MAKE A MOVE PELINKA. Trade Russ
Get rid of Russ , yesterday
Russ
Expected loss, against the Clippers on TNT? Yep. But Jesus fuck that absolute momentum shattering bullshittery at the end when they had it within 10. Even if they turn this season around and get to the playoffs, Russ will absolutely cost them a series – he’s just not a winning player, end of story.
Lebron put up almost 50 and we still got blown out.
Look on the bright side. This was a regular season game, not a playoff game, and we still have time to trade Russ. Imagine russ doing this in a playoff game (at the cost of 47 mil btw).
Fuck Westbrook and fuck Pelinka for trading for him
Can we stop pretending like that random 10 game stretch was the true Russ now?
Love my Lakers but absolutely disdain and cannot enjoy watching Westbrick play. Amazing performance tonight by LeBron.
Got it down to 10 with possession who knows what could’ve happened if that liability didn’t throw that stupid ass pass.
The craziest thing about Russ is that you look at the boxscore and only see 2 turnovers but it legitimately feels like I’ve seen 10 from him.
When he’s bad, he’s unbelievably bad. Like you can’t even believe it.
As a Westbrook fan he deserves the criticism ngl
Why tf Russ trying so hard to be superman. Bro just make normal passes.
Why did we lose the game?
​
* The Lakers missed 8 free throws (Russ 5, Gabriel 3). LeBron somehow managed to cut the deficit down to 10 with 5 minutes to go.
* Russ throws 2 interceptions and finds a way to spark an 8-0 run for the Clippers.
* Russ is 4-13 with.
* Outside of Bryant who has 15 points but probably gave up about 30 points tonight, and Westbrook, nobody except LeBron is in double digit.
You can’t win if there’s only one guy in the organization that cares about winning.
Official apology to Westbrook haters:
I’m neither a stan nor hater, I just care about Laker basketball.
I wanted to stay optimistic and objective about our obviously terrible decision(s) with Westbrook and would roll my eyes at the overly emotional hate he gets.
But fuck this guy.
He has ruined the joy of watching the Lakers. Like I don’t even want to watch anymore.
I don’t even care if he starts playing better, the only thing he’s been consistent with is doing things that make you go 
Such a disappointing end, almost came back but this one is on Russ, there’s no denying that, but to me, it’s mainly on Coach Ham.
We know Russ will be Russ, full stop. That can be great at times but also really bad at others, and one thing he is not good at is closing games, which is why we lost any chance of a come back tonight.
Such a disappointing end, almost came back but this one is on Russ, yes but to me, it’s mainly on Coach Ham.cause of bad decisions Ham has made, not saying he needs to go but he has yet to show signs of improvement as a coach and that’s worrying, he literally needs Bron/AD to carry for us to win.
We still need more on the squad, Lebron should not have to drop damn near 50 for us to not get absolutely destroyed.
LeBron the goat BTW what a performance, just sucks it got overshadowed by the rest of the team and coaching staff tonight
Lebron hit 9 3s which is the most in his career and probably could’ve went for more if that bs didn’t happen. Literally wasted a historic night for bron 😭😭😭
Westbrick needs a statue in LA and in front of the arena for what he has done for the LA community and area, he throws up so many bricks he has built so many schools for the future children of los angeles.
How does Ham see how well that lineup that closed against the Blazers the other night did and put in Russ, who has always struggled with closing games, Ham makes so many dumb decisions and its frustrating
2 days ago I was downvoted for this comment
“The W is going to overshadow the abysmal Westbrook performance. Man needs to be sent packing ASAP. 3-13 FGM 0-4 3pt -13. Dude is just garbage he’s had 2 games where he played well and helped win. Every other game he’s “played well” in is a L and he’s cost several games in crunch time.”
