      I actually don’t agree with him at all. I honestly believe people perform better when they have no expectations, because as the old adage says, “expectation leads to disappointment.” If you don’t think about any expectations and focus solely on the goal at hand, the results will be better. That’s just my belief, though.

    I'm embarrassed for Russell's response about not having expectations despite setting some in the preseason. And being an LA native, he knows that being on the Lakers comes with championship expectations and his presence elevated the team from Dynamic Duo to Big 3. His response made me think that he no longer sets standards for himself which would explain this career low season

They are a terrible team, with no direction and zero future...
      Unless they make drastic changes... You can still win with LeBron... But not with AD and Westbrook... And not with Vogel and Pelinka... This team needs drastic changes...

    I see a lack of defense and effort on the Lakers. And it’s starting to get ugly.
    I don’t like it as a fan and this team deserves the boos they have gotten from the Laker faithful.
    Even with AD, I have little confidence in them being a factor in the postseason because bad habits carry over and they are not consistently good on defense.

  • @TAURUS-tu1gk
    @TAURUS-tu1gk 2 года назад

    Chiney Ogwumike is always on point with her analysis. Westbrook is horrible at running this offense, and that leaves pressure on LeBron to facilitate offense and play the 5. Please use your 2 bigs, and get back to old school basketball plays.

    After the Lakers won in the bubble, they've been pathetic and no one calls them bluff. Everybody was calling the Heat fluke, bubble success. For two years straight, the Lakers have been in the play-in bracket. Now the whole world knows what team is a fluke. Please, don't come with that injury bs. The Heat have injured players throughout the season, but they are still on top. That's Culture and Coaching.

    Westbrook is a difficult teammate. We all knew this years ago just by watching the way he carries himself: abrasive, argumentative, stubborn, and overtly insulting to others. He has great energy and determination, but he is not about harmony or cohesion. How does any team win with that bad energy?

    • @TheHeadincharge
      @TheHeadincharge 2 года назад

      Yup. His energy in post-game interviews has always been problematic to me. In the beginning people found it funny I guess, but now it’s clear he’s just condescending and stubborn when he loses. For example, even the famous “what?” clip is from a question that made total sense, Westbrook just didn’t want to answer.
