    18/1 to win the Championship should let you know how bad it is.

    Hope that one championship during the COVID season was worth all of the pandering for LeBron. They're in salary cap hell and low on future draft picks. A storm is a coming.

    If the Lakers don't make the Russell Westbrook + first for John Wall trade now, then nothing would have ever pressured them to do it because things could not be much worse for Russ in LA right now.

    I said this when LeBrick was gifted that championship in 2020 by his handlers

    That'll be his last one...

    The Lakers are just bad. Davis is made of glass and Westbrook is looking like a bad Ben Simmons.

    The Nets just need to get healthy for the playoffs. Harden, Kyrie and a healthy Durant is still a tough out and would be my favorites to come out of the East. I'm hoping they get rid of Harden and proceed to fall off the Kyrie's flat earth. They are still the one team you don't want to play.

    Haha - Lebron at the podium was hilarious.

    Lebron with very little hope. "we ain't on their level. I could have told you before the game started". Do you think you could reach that level? "Where they're at now? I don't know. No, that's what you want to hear from me? No"



    Westbrick - "I told them just keep their head up. Keep playing, tough night. I told them I wish I could help them but unfortunately I wasn't in the game to help them. That's why I came here to help them out but unfortunately I haven't been able to do that for them but that's not my call. I can be there as a leader as a voice, whatever is needed for the team and that's what I'll do until my number is called."



    Love to see these Fakers lose night after night. Same for the Nets and Novax Irving.

    We could see this coming a mile away before the season started. They made so many bad moves to get older and the Westbrook trade has been the worst of all their bad moves. They shouldn't be in the playoffs but luckily for them there is a playin tournament now so they're likely going to get in.

    If they can possibly trade him, they have to. This won't work. Something else? Ya never know.

    What is Westbrook talking about? Saying he's not playing? Seems like he has been.

    LeBron and company can only absorb so much of the blame. The roster moves made bringing Westbrook in were terrible. Westbrook and melo are two of the all time cancers on a team in terms of winning bball

    He is being benched in the fourth in favor of players who can shoot and play defense.

    Rob Pelinka 100% is at fault here. This is his Frankenstein's monster.

    They would win plenty if westbrook wasn't on the team lol. They need Malik's monk to start at PG. Would be a deadly lineup.

    Giving up Kuzma and Cadwell-Pope for WestBrick was a killer. Horrible trade. Roster killer.

    And letting Caruso walk.

    They also could have easily signed DeRozan -- he wanted to go there. I think they could have kept Kuzma, Caldwell-Pope, resigned Caruso and signed DeRozan for the money they gave WestBrick. Imagine that. They fukked up so bad.

    It will cost them 3 years of tanking before starting to rebuild IMO. Lakers are in a world of hurt. Lebron will retire or bail. They will be stuck with AD maybe and a bunch of scrubs if they are lucky.

    WestBrick is signed and paid for the next year also until the Lakers can free up that 40 million a year salary of his.

    Lakers are done.. Go Clippers if you are in LA. Clippers kinda suck also but they have more injured talent. .

    How do you not sign DeRozan? That was an awful move by the Lakers. DeRozan, KCP, Kuzma and Caruso would have been killer. Lebron and AD fukkked up.

    Those guys looked like whipped puppies after that game.

    He was benched the entire 4th quarter.. He says he wish he could be out there in the 4th to help but I guess he forgot how awful he was in the first 3 quarters. Man this guy went downhill fast. He got a rebound about 7 feet from the rim and shot a shot that almost knocked the basket off of the stanchion. WTF? His confidence is totally shot. He's washed.

    Lebron only needs like 50 more assists to be the only player with 10,000 rebounds, 10,000 assists, and over 35,000 points.

    Getting Westbrook was the dumbest idea. Whoever made that decision needs to be fired.

    That game was already over by the 4th quarter. How about helping before the game is lost.
