That's poor shooting, but experienced players should know that you need to drive, draw fouls, or shoot closer from the basket when accuracy is down. This goes for Melo and Bradley because the are the vets. THT and Monk will have ups and downs.

When they won they were great, but you can never depend on ad because he does get too many injuries, but I still think they defense can be a whole lot better than it is.
Russ was the best player on the court last night. The reason they loss is because no one else came to play. AD got outplayed by Julius Randle and the Knicks' role players showed up.
Those 6 turnovers could be worth a great number of actual points. A lot of people value a turnover as being a 4 point swing, so up to 24 points of damage off of 6 turnovers.
I think you’ll live with the turnovers when he’s creating a lot with his aggressive driving. Problem is he’s been inconsistent in doing that and his turnovers have been high regardless of how much he creates.
@@thebenc1537 he had only 1 turnover in 2nd half y’all talk about turnovers but do realize how many open shots he creates ? He should’ve had like 15 assist yesterday if they made wide open shots
I'm starting to think Russ is the scapegoat where AD has been way below par. Dude has been a star and not a superstar after he left the Pelicans. Way overrated
After the championship ESPN said he was a top 2 player. AD hasn't lived to these expectations since. He has the potential to be the best in the league but doesn't always display those performances. I don't want to hear how he's better than Giannis until proven otherwise.
He keeps playing second fiddle. Did the same thing when they won the finals. Never wants to takeover the game, always deferring, and settling for too many jumpshots. I believe Bron brought AD to LA to give him the keys, but AD acting like he don't want it. He needs to Lead the team, even if it's only on the court
So let me ask you ? What is Russell westbrick’s playoff record for last 4 year? We don’t give damn about whether he comes hardest at the mid to second half of the season. And also don’t give a sht about his triple double. I don’t know how people praise this guy in such a high level. Y’all need to admit Westbrick is just a turnover machine without jumpshot. His basketball iq is very unreliable during the crunch time. Did you know that wesbrick is averaging the most career turnover per game in NBA history,which is around 4.1? Even if he were to have 0 turnover for the rest of the season, he would still hold the all time record. Westbrook is just running around the court and doing cardio. This guy’s only strength is fast dribble and make a layup or dunk, thats pretty much it. He is a pathetic defender that really doesn’t give any effort on defense.
Yeah they win a championship handpaclaged for the Lakers to win and suddenly they think they are untouchable they have grown lazy and complacent and there seems to be no momentum no desire to fight and no true hunger this team is done. No championships until after Lebron leaves/retires etc.
Hey bronzesexuals how does it feel to have 4 active top 75 players of all time in your squad and still lose to a struggling Knicks team with Julius Randle being the lone star. 🤣🤣 Lebron about to trade his other best friend just like he did dwade for a excuse ticket and a bag of takis. Also bronzesexuals blaming westbrook for being a turnover machine when lebron is the all time leader in turnovers and no one will catch up to that record like wilt chamberlain 100 point record in a single game. 🤣
@@biggboi3932 he stepped out of bounds early in the game and one was in the final seconds of the half n nada transpired out of that. He didn’t put them in a 25 deficit hole lmao, he ain’t play well first half either but that ain’t why they down 25, he carried n y’all want him less involved n that’s why there’s an L when he don’t take over in the 4th. Besides, he’s had 3 or less TO’s for 4 straight games n they were all L’s excluding Detroit, y’all hate so much haha, it ain’t him
The issue is not even Russ. The issue is that they can’t guard a parked car and they turn the ball over a lot( which is also a Russ problem, but not the ISSUE)
THT was on THC on TNT. Westbrook played very well. AD is SOFT too often. You can't hide this fact anymore. Bron is sometimes coasting. And sometimes struggling because he's 19 years in. 8th seed, at best
Yep and somehow AD is considered at top 75 all time player by msm sports only really a Lakers title and a bunch of truly empty production with the Pelicans(did they ever look like a championship team when he was there? Nope....)
@@flykidddd1235 A pass why? Harden for his career averages .5 less turnovers a game than Russ. So it's not like Harden is this great PG who never turns it over. He Russ but jacks up even more shots than Russ does. 44% from 2 and 35% from 3. He's league average from 3 and only .7 better than Russ from 2. So it's not like he's this great shooter either. If they take his flops in the paint away he barely a 17 point scorer who turns it over just like Russ. Russ gives you more assists and rebounds with about the same turnovers. Russ 23 a game Harden 25. So where's the difference. Russ is better all around than Harden. Harden has done zero when it matters. But sure take Harden. You aren't winning with him. History shows this.
@@cookazor the point is all the lebron fanboys give him excuse after excuse to try to excuse his shortcomings it's NEVER his fault.. if they lose this year's it's ENTIRELY on him
Russ had an amazing game, he had just as many stops as he did turn overs. Believe it or not he's really changing his game. Look how much calmer he is on offense, he's becoming a facilitator. Once he develops a consistent jumper the Lakers are a WAY better team, unfortunately him bringing the ball up and not being a threat just hurts a lot
At times, it doesn't even seem like AD is on the court. I know Westbrook gets a lot of the hate, but AD hasn't been showing up at times. He got embarrassed by Giannis.
Shannon said Russ wouldn't be able to average a triple double playing alongside AD/Bron. I think it's equally as troubling that Bron is averaging 4 TOs a game with a decreased ball handling role
I blame AD, he’s aloof and indifferent most of the time. He was the most talented and biggest player on the court and he was shooting fadeaways on dudes he’s half a foot taller than.
@@KingLeBronJames92 you’re right having a fever makes you take fadeaway jumpers on small guys and not use you’re size against them. Fevers do affect basketball IQ. I’ve learned something today.
Shawn Jack I get your sarcasm, but what I meant was he did not feel good and when you don't feel good ..some people tend to get lazy, hence the jump shots etc. it's all mental. I agree with you that he needs to play with more aggressive energy, but please do not push it aside as if it does not affect you, thanks
they don't have the salary thanks to tht making 9.5 mill nunn making 5 mill not to play due to injury and deng still being paid 5 mill on their cap due to the stretch rule for his contract to save money in previous seasons on taxes to compete with lebron on the team and get him help....thats 14.5 million dollars wasted right now...tht has played in 2 wins this year...think about that
@@razkable this team can easily be championship favorite if they got some defenders, especially with Russ playing like his usual self, I just don't see how teams can compete with this 3 headed monster if we had defenders to stop other teams from scoring, tht is a good trade bait maybe they can start there
Its time to get used to the idea that the Lakers making the play in games is the ceiling of the season and anything above that is an over achievement for this team.
Yeah, this season has depth. The Pistons, Magic, Cavs, Pacers, etc, all have a chance to win. That's why it's been tough to win this season. I don't understand Skip. These teams are tough asl.
Julius Randle > Russ D’angelo Russel > Russ Ingram > Russ Clarkson > Russ Lonzo > Russ Combo of Shroeder, Kuzma & Harrel > Russ Most average point guards > Russ The top 30-40 players all time > Russ
So when Westbrook finds a rhythm The coach decides to bench him at the start of the 4th quarter….Idk if they’ll make it to or past the first round at this point.
When you're a bad offensive team and a bad defensive team at the same time you're going to be getting blown out, or be down 25, chasing games, or giving up huge leads pretty much every night. Being bad on both ends means no consistency, you just can't trust this Lakers team as they're currently performing to win games.
Lebron and Westbrook is the worst duo you can create with top 50s players. Westbrook should’ve never been here in the first place. Also Deandre Jordan isn’t a usable NBA but Vogel be starting him for whatever reason.
If you look at every year championship teams, even at the beginning they look good, they dont even miraculously become better later in the season. Even when lbj was playing they look like a beatable team. They never looked like a winner team.
they have 0 road wins vs a playoff team so far and 1 win vs a playoff team in the west and its vs the most likely 8th seeded by the end of season currently 7th seeded grizzlies(due to injuries to the nuggets lakers)...let the record show..lets see how long that keeps up cause we are 20 games in now after tonight with indy whose not a playoff team and they will still have 0 road wins win or lose this game vs a playoff team and 1 total win vs a west playoff team...20 games into their season.....and their 3 wins vs playoff teams have been by an average of 3 points at home which is basically 1 point wins lets be real(1 was vs the butler less heat so it does not even count) cause at home your rewarded 2 points a night just due to bench guys playing better at home so they are basically winning by a ft a night at home vs 2 semi good teams (1 time with bron playing over 40 minutes)....that hornets win looks good without bron but it was when they lost like 5 in a row to be fair and looked awful in the other 4 games(and we know not to trust the hornets to make the playoffs or if they do its like as an 8th seed maybe a 9th seed)....and the heat without butler are not a playoff team out west so that win looks worse and worse by the day cause without butler or oladipi miami probably is a 10th seed at best out east maybe 11th...even if butler gave them a quarter of action vs la...its not enough...
It's astonishing how people don't recognize that offensive fouls are consider turnovers. Which Russ gets called for charges often. He does need to focus on dribbling in traffic though...
Let’s be clear this is Dennis Schroeder fault. We offer him 4years/80mil, turned it down, signed for 1year/5mil to Boston, ta da Russell Westbrook to the Lakers
tht is a bum...he makes 9.5 mill and has played in 2 wins 6 games total and somehow is still the only lakers besides bron davis to remain on the team for the past 2+ years now since mid 2019...rondo and dwight both were gone last season lol...they came back but still
The Lakers coach looked so disappointed so many times during the this Knicks game... 🤣👌🏽 he needs to start yelling at some of these old players or start trading them.
I'll take 6 turnovers with a triple double from Russ when he's shooting efficient. Many players average around 4 turnovers a game with less production.
Remember God loves you😊 John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Please turn your life around and repent before its too late

@@biggboi3932 he stepped out of bounds early in the game and one was in the final seconds of the half n nada transpired out of that. He didn’t put them in a 25 deficit hole lmao, he ain’t play well first half either but that ain’t why they down 25, he carried n y’all want him less involved n that’s why there’s an L when he don’t take over in the 4th. Besides, he’s had 3 or less TO’s for 4 straight games n they were all L’s excluding Detroit, y’all hate so much haha, it ain’t him
If ad made his free throws, La wins that game.
Or if Carmelo hits at least 2 more threes
Ad has been missing free throws
AD choked cause of Randle
How about just saying "THE KNICKS PLAYED BETTER" all these excuses for this overrated team is tiring.
If the team is overrated than how are they excuses ???
KVM'S CORNER AMEN
Honesty it looked like Russ was the only person who showed up that game.
Show some respect to Avery Bradley please
@@KingLeBronJames92 He did to friend. Unfortunately most of the team didn't
tat how yea I know and agree, but yesterday looked a little better overall again
The issue is not even Russ. The issue is that they can’t guard a parked car and they turn the ball over a lot( which is also a Russ problem, but not the ISSUE)
😳 😱 I was so scared Knicks would manage to lose the game somehow! Let’s go Knicks 🎉 🎈!
LeShannon Sharpe, I want to bet twenty cases of diet Dew that my guy Kawhi Leonard will eliminate your guy LeRetire!! Clips in 6!!
As a Knicks fan, I'm glad we won but at the same, it just doesn't feel like a full win, like last year's final game against the Celtics.
LA still had to perennial all stars out there, so it counts in my book
Two *
THT was on THC on TNT. Westbrook played very well. AD is SOFT too often. You can't hide this fact anymore. Bron is sometimes coasting. And sometimes struggling because he's 19 years in. 8th seed, at best
Yep and somehow AD is considered at top 75 all time player by msm sports only really a Lakers title and a bunch of truly empty production with the Pelicans(did they ever look like a championship team when he was there? Nope....)
Russ has 4 more TOs than Harden but yet he’s running away with it lol I never hear about Harden and his TOs tho how come?
with kyrie out he has to playmake more
I think theyre giving harden a pass because he’s clearly not himself yet.
@@flykidddd1235 A pass why? Harden for his career averages .5 less turnovers a game than Russ. So it's not like Harden is this great PG who never turns it over. He Russ but jacks up even more shots than Russ does. 44% from 2 and 35% from 3. He's league average from 3 and only .7 better than Russ from 2. So it's not like he's this great shooter either. If they take his flops in the paint away he barely a 17 point scorer who turns it over just like Russ. Russ gives you more assists and rebounds with about the same turnovers. Russ 23 a game Harden 25. So where's the difference. Russ is better all around than Harden. Harden has done zero when it matters. But sure take Harden. You aren't winning with him. History shows this.
@@larrylindgren9484 your not wining with both russ shots worse than harden in the playoffs 40% fg and 30% from deep.
Put some respect on the knicks aswell. They came out guns blazin.
Feel like AD getting fed up with Laker town.
Laker town should be getting fed up with AD. You supposedly the "best" player on the team but not playing like it
@@glonavytray3728 absolutely. Dude is one of the most talented players I’ve ever seen but he is so charmin soft mentally and physically.
Knicks are a good team that's in a slump right now.
Everybody hates the Knicks. No credit whatsoever.

@@bassmanoper6659 Most valuable team in the league tho . its ok to be quiet sometimes
@@IkeDezi so called valuable to who😂😂
@@bassmanoper6659 I do Im a die hard Knick fan. We still have a very long way to go
If the Lakers fail this season it is 100% Lebrons fault, he hand picked this roster.
2021 is the best year in sports ever
🙄 AD soft
Same as kd, Steph, kawhi, butler, etc. what’s your point?
@@cookazor the point is all the lebron fanboys give him excuse after excuse to try to excuse his shortcomings it's NEVER his fault.. if they lose this year's it's ENTIRELY on him
@@cookazor all those players and the teams that they play for will make a deep run in the playoffs compared to the lakers
Russ had an amazing game, he had just as many stops as he did turn overs.
Believe it or not he's really changing his game. Look how much calmer he is on offense, he's becoming a facilitator. Once he develops a consistent jumper the Lakers are a WAY better team, unfortunately him bringing the ball up and not being a threat just hurts a lot
He will never develop a consistent jump shot
Holy how they talk about the Lakers and Cowboys so much.
i know right..they really going to talk about the pacers game?
Skip can’t help himself . He loves Lebron deep down don’t let his image fool you
Go watch something else then playboy, cowboys and lakers pull in views
I know. Please talk about literally any other teams
Million dollar question 🤝🏾
It's a great time to be a non Lakers fan 😅
the t wolves knicks hornets have less losses toronto the same amount of wins...lakers fans how does it feel lol...
At times, it doesn't even seem like AD is on the court. I know Westbrook gets a lot of the hate, but AD hasn't been showing up at times. He got embarrassed by Giannis.
Shannon said Russ wouldn't be able to average a triple double playing alongside AD/Bron.
I think it's equally as troubling that Bron is averaging 4 TOs a game with a decreased ball handling role
Lebron has played way less games those averages will probably drop by 1 and a half
he's been super sloppy with his passing
Another day, another game that "Top 5 Player" AD escapes criticism.
I blame AD, he’s aloof and indifferent most of the time. He was the most talented and biggest player on the court and he was shooting fadeaways on dudes he’s half a foot taller than.
I blame you for not knowing AD had fever and probably needs a game or two off to get himself together.. he had flashes against Detroit though
@@KingLeBronJames92 you’re right having a fever makes you take fadeaway jumpers on small guys and not use you’re size against them. Fevers do affect basketball IQ. I’ve learned something today.
Shawn Jack I get your sarcasm, but what I meant was he did not feel good and when you don't feel good ..some people tend to get lazy, hence the jump shots etc. it's all mental. I agree with you that he needs to play with more aggressive energy, but please do not push it aside as if it does not affect you, thanks
@@KingLeBronJames92 point taken.
Skip probably clinched his fist last night when Russ got a triple double lol
Why? He lost. Russ put up empty numbers as always.
@@magodtrick3166 With no Lebron, Russell is performing great. Those numbers won't be empty when Lebron is back and able to make more plays.
@@magodtrick3166 Our defense is what needs help.
@@HiLightPHILm Westbrook plays terrible with LeBron
@@russellpo7758 They only played 5 games together...lol how can you even say that?
Everyone except for Russ, AD, and LeBron need to go, we need to sign athletic 3 & D wings to pair with the big 3 for some damn defense
they don't have the salary thanks to tht making 9.5 mill nunn making 5 mill not to play due to injury and deng still being paid 5 mill on their cap due to the stretch rule for his contract to save money in previous seasons on taxes to compete with lebron on the team and get him help....thats 14.5 million dollars wasted right now...tht has played in 2 wins this year...think about that
@@razkable this team can easily be championship favorite if they got some defenders, especially with Russ playing like his usual self, I just don't see how teams can compete with this 3 headed monster if we had defenders to stop other teams from scoring, tht is a good trade bait maybe they can start there
They gotta make some trades in December 15
Westbrook , good to hear Skip not saying W brick
Its time to get used to the idea that the Lakers making the play in games is the ceiling of the season and anything above that is an over achievement for this team.
Russ need to do more of what he did against Knicks every game and at 18:35 shannon is hilarious using the high pitch voice "Yes!!!! Yes!!!!" 😂 😂
I'm sick of skip downplaying how good these nba teams are,
Let get this clear every team in the NBA is tough, not 1 team is an Easy dub
Yeah, this season has depth. The Pistons, Magic, Cavs, Pacers, etc, all have a chance to win. That's why it's been tough to win this season. I don't understand Skip. These teams are tough asl.
The problem it AD .. dude missed like 7 free throws … and is not aggressive at all … makes 0 sense
Julius Randle > Russ
D’angelo Russel > Russ
Ingram > Russ
Clarkson > Russ
Lonzo > Russ
Combo of Shroeder, Kuzma & Harrel > Russ
Most average point guards > Russ
The top 30-40 players all time > Russ
Clarkson > russ?? Tell us you don’t watch the games without telling us you don’t watch
I love the Lakers but I can't remember a conversation about an impressive win this season. Sad days indeed but things will change.
Anthony Davis is NOT a top 5 player in the NBA, period. 🤷🏿♂️
He is, he just needs a true PG. Or LBJ to run that pick n roll the right way.
The iconic sniffle after a comment 😂😂 2:44
It amazes me how they always rather talk about the Lakers lost then the other teams win 😂
The ratings are low when the topic is some other team.
So when Westbrook finds a rhythm The coach decides to bench him at the start of the 4th quarter….Idk if they’ll make it to or past the first round at this point.
When you're a bad offensive team and a bad defensive team at the same time you're going to be getting blown out, or be down 25, chasing games, or giving up huge leads pretty much every night. Being bad on both ends means no consistency, you just can't trust this Lakers team as they're currently performing to win games.
Nobody ever blame AD 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the team has given up on Vogel at this point and just stopped trying with the hope he gets fired.
Exactly
La teams think they can just new teams together every year with no chemistry and think they can win 😂💀
Brooklyn did too
Lebron and Westbrook is the worst duo you can create with top 50s players. Westbrook should’ve never been here in the first place. Also Deandre Jordan isn’t a usable NBA but Vogel be starting him for whatever reason.
STOP IGNORING THE SUNS, 13 STRAIGHT WINS HOTTEST TEAM RN
Lakers biggest problem right now is honestly Frank Vogel but Westbrook is the scapegoat
No ad is the problem what are you talking about
If you look at every year championship teams, even at the beginning they look good, they dont even miraculously become better later in the season. Even when lbj was playing they look like a beatable team. They never looked like a winner team.
they have 0 road wins vs a playoff team so far and 1 win vs a playoff team in the west and its vs the most likely 8th seeded by the end of season currently 7th seeded grizzlies(due to injuries to the nuggets lakers)...let the record show..lets see how long that keeps up cause we are 20 games in now after tonight with indy whose not a playoff team and they will still have 0 road wins win or lose this game vs a playoff team and 1 total win vs a west playoff team...20 games into their season.....and their 3 wins vs playoff teams have been by an average of 3 points at home which is basically 1 point wins lets be real(1 was vs the butler less heat so it does not even count) cause at home your rewarded 2 points a night just due to bench guys playing better at home so they are basically winning by a ft a night at home vs 2 semi good teams (1 time with bron playing over 40 minutes)....that hornets win looks good without bron but it was when they lost like 5 in a row to be fair and looked awful in the other 4 games(and we know not to trust the hornets to make the playoffs or if they do its like as an 8th seed maybe a 9th seed)....and the heat without butler are not a playoff team out west so that win looks worse and worse by the day cause without butler or oladipi miami probably is a 10th seed at best out east maybe 11th...even if butler gave them a quarter of action vs la...its not enough...
@@razkable amen. Lakers aint it, should have taken the buddy hill trade than westbrick
Lakers have talent but no chemistry. Russ never gives up. The others need his energy
All the Laker bandwagons are going back to the Golden State facts 🧱🧱🧱🧱🧱😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 They Are A Great Together.
Skip: He Was A BROOK , Not A Brick
Shannon: He Was Flowing 🤣🤣
They should break up the team and fire the coach!
Shoutout to Derrick Rose 🤙🌹🌹
imagine thinking winning vs the garbage that is Detroit and calling it a turning point only to lose the next game to the Knicks
LeBron wasn't in the game, and ad was lost, and t h t did nothing, do you really think they would do that all the time.
true....comeback vs that pistons team?..without kelly lol one of their best players who can guard ad and get boards passes
It's astonishing how people don't recognize that offensive fouls are consider turnovers. Which Russ gets called for charges often. He does need to focus on dribbling in traffic though...
They disrespecting the Knicks after we won... Typical LA guys 😂😂 cry harder we don't care 🗽
Nets literally took all y’all fans Knicks suck
Nets ain’t better either
@@liltree8382 There are Nets fans in NY? I don't know any.
As much as I love this show it’s getting old to hear about the lakers and cowboys everyday… switch it up Skip
Let’s be clear this is Dennis Schroeder fault. We offer him 4years/80mil, turned it down, signed for 1year/5mil to Boston, ta da Russell Westbrook to the Lakers
This show would be good if they didn’t talk about the lakers every segment
😂 THT had ZERO points not one 5 but ZER0‼️‼️
Tht will never be consistent, he will have games where he score 20 or more, maybe grab 10 rebounds maybe 10 assists some games.
tht is a bum...he makes 9.5 mill and has played in 2 wins 6 games total and somehow is still the only lakers besides bron davis to remain on the team for the past 2+ years now since mid 2019...rondo and dwight both were gone last season lol...they came back but still
The Lakers coach looked so disappointed so many times during the this Knicks game... 🤣👌🏽 he needs to start yelling at some of these old players or start trading them.
Back to back Ls coming after pacers!
I'll take 6 turnovers with a triple double from Russ when he's shooting efficient. Many players average around 4 turnovers a game with less production.
@2:04 I was encouraged by russ gettin back in the groove.....I clenched my fist one I saw that he did good again..
They rely on Lebron too much
They really do, they got enough talent to make it to the playoffs without LeBron James
Damn. It feels like Lakers is the only team plays in NBA. Cant wait them to talk about Lakers offseason move during play off. 😆
Remember God loves you😊

This team reminds me so much of when Steve Nash and Dwight went to LA to join Kobe. Only that team at least should have worked on paper lol
I've never seen so much attention given to such an awful team in NBA history .

@@broncosstampede494 If you think that L was his fault, you don’t know basketball bro
They miss on the loss of Austin Reaves. He was a spark on defense and a smart, decent shooter. Of course, you can't sit a 40 million dollar year man and play a 600,000 a year man.
The golden years of Lebron's career are beginning to look pathetic.
Just wait a few more weeks, you will change them words if not your thoughts will change you just won't put the words.
At least the Lime and Jalapeno chips with A.D. on them are really good, that's ONE thing positive about the Lakers LMAO

You know Westbrook isn’t washed🤣
@@jordans5804 dude's inconsistency is dangerous. It's true he isn't washed but come on we know he's not winning a ring if all he does is chase a triple double
This was Russel's best game yet. This is pretty much as his fullest potential.
I can’t feel sorry for the Lakers, they stacked the deck and it’s becoming a flop right before our eyes.
