Not cool. Stop blaming Westbrook when LeBron got rid of all Lakers young talent to get an aging Russ. Stop putting the pressure on Russ. Stop trying to make him your Scapegoat. Scapegoats are the mark of a dysfunctional family... LAKERS GOT RID OF YOUNG TALENT BECAUSE LEBRON DIDN'T WANT TO "REBUILD" OR HELP DEVELOPERING PLAYERS LIKE KUZZ OR BALL OR INGRAM AND NOW HE IS REAPING THE REWARDS OF HIS IMPATIENCE... Scapegoats are created to hide the rest of the dysfunction in the family... Every sports psychologists know what is happening to this team. Yall are sports analysts? Interview a sports psychologist and get a beat on the actual pulse. As you said, Russ is what you thought he was, now lets focus on the player who sold the team out to gather a historically OLD team... (Age = no defense). Can kuzz play defense? Can ball play defense? Can Ingram play defense? LeBron did that.

Lebron is the most Overrated Superstar in History of the NBA....But Russell Westbrick flat out sucks...He is a stat padder who has ZERO feel for a game....AWFUL situational player
Speaking of Roles, Here's the Lakers' role for every player: - LeBron: Let's chase Kareem and pack 3's at a high rate. Defense? Nah. - AD: I'll play video games, so I don't get hurt. - Westbrook: I'm just gonna play my game (what?) - Malik Monk: I'm just playing so I don't get traded. - Vogel: Let's pretend we're figuring things out by changing the lineups every game. Don't @ me!
This is all LeBron’s fault tbh the Lakers HAD Buddy Hield right there for the taking, had Caruso willing to take a hometown discount, had Demar ready to take less money to play with the Lakers & they chose THT, Westbrook & Kendrick Nunn 🥴
I'm just happy that the Lakers are struggling and stuck with Russ after the media tried to villainize Kawhi at the start of the season for playing with PG instead of him lmao now ya'll understand why Kawhi chose PG over Russ
I feel bad for Russ because clearly his confidence is gone. But I still don’t like how they just blame Russ. He’s doing what he always has. What about AD? He soft and got demolished by Giannis
This is not one game… minus this game AD have been dominant even in their loses. Sure AD needs to man up. But WESTBROOK is their most leverage player since he does play extreme minutes and also controls the ball most of the time besides Lebron. And for their performance Westbrook is the highest paid player on the ROSTER. Management takes the blame but RUSS cannot even play his part correctly for me to give him a pass. He is devoid of accountability. SUB 30 % 3pt SUB 70% FREETHROW turn over prone and defensive liability???? Thats all ON RUSS… which btw affects the team dramatically.
Russ should be glad to see them Lose without him the way he gets the blame for every laker lost.. gotta admit Russ have some the toughest skin when it comes to getting the blame
They were losing because he was on the floor. When he got benched they almost came back. Do they're not losing because hes not playing. They're losing because he puts them in that position.
“So so what we gonna get rid of him for? .. A song and a nickel?”… and hearing her in the background laughing at that had being laughing hard even more 😂 🤣🤣🤣
There’s no need to feel bad for him. He’s getting paid $44M to play basketball. The man doesn’t even want to hold himself accountable for his mistakes. Russ is a selfish bum who only plays for himself.
I agree. He has been disrespected for a while now, and I think he has just about had it. When he got triple doubles, people were talking about him stat chasing...it it were so easy, with all the stat chasers in the NBA, why hasn't it been more common? Then, Lakers trade for him knowing that he is a slasher and ball dominant point, and they want him to camp in the corner or around the perimeter. Coaching / LeBron, rather than find a way to utilize his strengths, just would throw Russ under the bus.
Exactly!!! He's been this way! But people looked over it because he was getting triple doubles. I mean dang, people should've saw it when KD was there..And If not, when Olidepo was there. Or if not, when Melo and PG was there. But they didnt. These same analyst were blaming everyone else except Russ..smh. Funny
He's always played recklessly but his freakiah athleticism made up for it. Now that the athleticism is waning, he is an average player at best. His game was never destined to age well
He's like Melo but worse because he can't shoot. A team wrecker that only plays for themselves and makes nobody else better, if anything the team becomes worse.
All Russ has to do is be a facilitator, get rbs and Plat defense. If he truly wants to help the team win. Ja Morant is everything Russ is supposed to be and plays under control. Just maybe Russ will turn things around this season before he's completely benched... key word "Maybe!"
@@HermannTheGreat hmm so how did the wizards make the playoffs last year 🤔🤔 how was it that every year Westbrook was on Okc they made the playoffs 🤔🤔. Westbrook didn’t make the playoffs maybe once in his career I’ll say twice maybe…
I’ve always thought Russ is overrated. Knowing that I’m still surprised he’s playing this bad . To add insult to injury he’s complaining about playing time 🤯
I always defended him until 2-3 years after KD left. I see the reason why KD left. Russ played with many good players and never got past the first round ... at times the second round. Russ is about his numbers and not winning to me.
KD wasnt russ tesmmate when he won the mvp..... I guess he disguised Westbrook bad play that season too. How about when okc was top seed and westbrook got injured and the Grizzlies beat KD without Westbrook???? You lbjockstrap sniffers using Westbrook as a scapegoat for not winning. Except for 2011 vs mavs,everytime lbjockstrap lose they scapegoat a teammate or 2
Yes get him outta there so we can get players who don’t shoot off the back board and miss open layups and turnover the ball for 44 million. Please I’m hoping someone takes him out the hands of LA
sooo... are they ever going to notice and talk about lebron lack of defensive IQ? he plays absolute zero defense and stands around waiting for a rebound... all about stats right?
Nah hes too old to defend. He was exposed when they broke up the championship team. In reality that was the best team past-prime lebron had with 4 other defenders.
He’s an offensive that at the moment. Don’t play; you expect so much from this man so late in his career that you fail to realize most from his draft class are either retired or role players. His supporting cast should be playing defence, creating and knocking down wide open shots.
He never was a Good defender....Just because he is Big and athletic enough to guard many positions does not mean he is a Great defender....He tried to guard Durant in GS Finals and Durant literally HUMLIATED him
Russ is unreasonable, & as a man that's not a good character trait. He's still going@his own speed w/no regard for what the team needs. This is who lebron wanted to team up with......STRANGE!!!
@@iAintSayDat Lebron's biggest mistake was feeding into the media hype. Getting the"chosen one"tattoo & allowing the comparisons between himself & the great MJ! He should have cemented his own legacy like all the other NBA greats!!!

@@sushilbirla941 There is no amount of money that can buy mental health and happiness. He really is struggling and his millions aren't helping him on the court right now.
He hasn't fallen off his stats are identical to the last 4 or 5 seasons. Same turnovers, same shot percentage, the only thing that's changed is he is taking less shots and with AD getting less boards... this has been him, casual fans who haven't watched him just looked at box score and assumed he was amazing.
What does lebron going -25 have to do with them going that statement... They made a run when he got benched even tho they still lost. Being down 30 and cutting it to 10 in the 4th still happened when Russ got benched.
I just realized something. When Uncle Shay is spitting his monologue and Skip throws in a random adlib.... I swear they sound like Biggie and Puff lmaooooo
It’s not even Russ fault why they lose games. If it was, tell me how did they lose to Portland without russ playing a second of the game? They just don’t play any defense, Ad never really looks like he’s trying or it just looks like he’s not the player he used to be. Lebron is just focused on passing Kareem in scoring all time. And the fans and media are being petty to Russ for no reason. If they want him to play effective stop booing him and making him feel like he doesn’t belong there and tell the lakers organization to figure out the best way to have this team play good basketball together whatever the rotations are. Keep the same starting lineup to build chemistry and actually start playing defense and not worry about scoring and passing a record and worry about winning games as a team.
lol they completely ignored the fact that lebron was on the bench too when the bench made that comeback. not to mention that once he entered the game the bucks ran it back up.
Or how they not mention that when they played earlier this season with Russ's fast pace the Lakers lost a close game despite Giannis going for 47 yesterday that got ran off the floor
I love every bit of this. The Lakers don't know anything about chemistry. They just sign whoever's popular 😆😆 listen to Westbrook he has the answers LMAO
Agreed. The pressure of playing at home is bad enough. The pressure of being booed at home is even worse. Russ was never an efficient guy, but how can he not be playing shook?
His athleticism is and has been waning for a few years now and that was what made him RUSS! If he was on another team that allowed his usage rate to go up, his numbers would go up, but the FG% and turnovers would more than likely get worse. Long story short, long term, you CANNOT win with him! History has shown is this.
The sad part is when and if Russ leaves our other two stars won't have anyone to hide behind. So I can almost safely say, Lebron and AD will agree that Russ can stay until the end of the season
Not really because that 2 players have delivered a chip. No matter how we spin it RUSSEL WESTBROOK is a glaring issue because he is the teams worst player that happens to make the most money.
@@nordicblood8470 I love the Lakers but that chip they won in the bubble they benefited from the break in the season due to covid the Glass Brothers were well rested!
@@nordicblood8470 They did deliver a chip but the bubble season was the perfect season for Lebron and AD to get a ring. Westbrook isn't playing well but despite the stats, Lebron and AD aren't playing well enough either.
That would be cool if they wanted to move on from De'Jounte. They play similarly and I think it would be harder for him to grow with Russ in the lineup.

Stop giving Russ a pass just cause its not 100% his fault, he deserves more than just criticism for his play
Shaq is a legend but I disagree with him! It's 150% Westbrook's fault for playing DOO DOO! We all knew it wasn't a good fit, but who would've thought he's playing worse than rookies? He literally playing like he forgot how to play basketball! So yes, he does deserve all the blame for the way he's playing.
@@Bubbyolo Russ hardly played In the 4th quarter. LeBron and A.D played little to no defense. They just played offense.

Keep talking about my squad, our personnel ages, the way he plays, he stays injured, we’re past our time in this league, etc etc etc, Do me one favor PLEASE!!!! And I mean PLEASE!!! Keep that same narrative ENERGY when it begins! That’s all I ask.
It use to be fun laughing at Westbrook's antics. Two years ago, he was still a Superstar averaging a triple double.
It's not fun making fun of Russ now, he's a shell of himself. Media and fans crucifying him, his spirit and confidence is crushed.
finally he’s exposed for how trash he is. Forget the numbers, he’s never been able to carry a team

@@Dominknows I think the point is they won a championship. And russ ain't winning one with LeBron.
Russ like : cheer up guys, we getting PAID !
Speaking of Roles, Here's the Lakers' role for every player:
- LeBron: Let's chase Kareem and pack 3's at a high rate. Defense? Nah.
- AD: I'll play video games, so I don't get hurt.
- Westbrook: I'm just gonna play my game (what?)
- Malik Monk: I'm just playing so I don't get traded.
- Vogel: Let's pretend we're figuring things out by changing the lineups every game.
Don't @ me!
This is all LeBron’s fault tbh the Lakers HAD Buddy Hield right there for the taking, had Caruso willing to take a hometown discount, had Demar ready to take less money to play with the Lakers & they chose THT, Westbrook & Kendrick Nunn 🥴
Nothing is ever Lebron's fault. He needs help. Remember?
Yikes 😳
I'm just happy that the Lakers are struggling and stuck with Russ after the media tried to villainize Kawhi at the start of the season for playing with PG instead of him lmao now ya'll understand why Kawhi chose PG over Russ
Lol I don’t think any GM in their right state of mind would choose Russ over PG.
Media was mad Kawhi didn't join LBJ

😂😂😂
I feel bad for Russ because clearly his confidence is gone. But I still don’t like how they just blame Russ. He’s doing what he always has. What about AD? He soft and got demolished by Giannis
You see how they blamed Russ for the bucks scoring 78 in the half 😂😂
This is not one game… minus this game AD have been dominant even in their loses. Sure AD needs to man up. But WESTBROOK is their most leverage player since he does play extreme minutes and also controls the ball most of the time besides Lebron. And for their performance Westbrook is the highest paid player on the ROSTER. Management takes the blame but RUSS cannot even play his part correctly for me to give him a pass. He is devoid of accountability. SUB 30 % 3pt SUB 70% FREETHROW turn over prone and defensive liability???? Thats all ON RUSS… which btw affects the team dramatically.
Russ should be glad to see them Lose without him the way he gets the blame for every laker lost.. gotta admit Russ have some the toughest skin when it comes to getting the blame
They were losing because he was on the floor. When he got benched they almost came back. Do they're not losing because hes not playing. They're losing because he puts them in that position.

There’s no need to feel bad for him. He’s getting paid $44M to play basketball. The man doesn’t even want to hold himself accountable for his mistakes. Russ is a selfish bum who only plays for himself.
@@davidseng8246 Russell "Bum" Westbrook thought he could have an easy stroll to a ring
Why? Dude is stubborn AF and refuses to change or grow his game. He's the same player today that he was a decade ago.
I agree. He has been disrespected for a while now, and I think he has just about had it. When he got triple doubles, people were talking about him stat chasing...it it were so easy, with all the stat chasers in the NBA, why hasn't it been more common? Then, Lakers trade for him knowing that he is a slasher and ball dominant point, and they want him to camp in the corner or around the perimeter. Coaching / LeBron, rather than find a way to utilize his strengths, just would throw Russ under the bus.
They gone lose without him..whole forth quarter he was benched..and still no one played defense THT turned the ball over constantly..🤦🏿♀️
He's been exposed like no other. What's going on now I've seen and said it for year's and now ppl see him for who he is and has been for 10yrs.
Exactly!!! He's been this way! But people looked over it because he was getting triple doubles. I mean dang, people should've saw it when KD was there..And If not, when Olidepo was there. Or if not, when Melo and PG was there. But they didnt. These same analyst were blaming everyone else except Russ..smh. Funny
He's always played recklessly but his freakiah athleticism made up for it. Now that the athleticism is waning, he is an average player at best. His game was never destined to age well
He's like Melo but worse because he can't shoot. A team wrecker that only plays for themselves and makes nobody else better, if anything the team becomes worse.
All Russ has to do is be a facilitator, get rbs and Plat defense. If he truly wants to help the team win. Ja Morant is everything Russ is supposed to be and plays under control. Just maybe Russ will turn things around this season before he's completely benched... key word "Maybe!"
@@HermannTheGreat hmm so how did the wizards make the playoffs last year 🤔🤔 how was it that every year Westbrook was on Okc they made the playoffs 🤔🤔. Westbrook didn’t make the playoffs maybe once in his career I’ll say twice maybe…

I’ve always thought Russ is overrated. Knowing that I’m still surprised he’s playing this bad . To add insult to injury he’s complaining about playing time 🤯
He outta his damn mind.
I always defended him until 2-3 years after KD left. I see the reason why KD left. Russ played with many good players and never got past the first round ... at times the second round. Russ is about his numbers and not winning to me.
I thought the same thing, even in his OKC days I've always told people Russ was overrated
I always thought he overrated too, media always falsely praise him about his effort.
Same. He's one of the most overrated players in league history. Whoever thinks he should be in the top 75 all time list is absolutely delusional.
It’s February and Russ is being benched for the entire 4th quarter, that’s tough
NO what's tough is reality sinking in & realizing a🏆might not b in their future in the purple & gold.......😨😳

LMAO SO ARE YALL READY TO ADMIT THAT KD WAS RIGHT? AND LITERALLY DISGUISED RUSS’S BAD PLAY WITH HIS GOOD PLAY?
KD wasnt russ tesmmate when he won the mvp..... I guess he disguised Westbrook bad play that season too. How about when okc was top seed and westbrook got injured and the Grizzlies beat KD without Westbrook???? You lbjockstrap sniffers using Westbrook as a scapegoat for not winning.

all about stats right?
Nah hes too old to defend. He was exposed when they broke up the championship team. In reality that was the best team past-prime lebron had with 4 other defenders.
He’s an offensive that at the moment. Don’t play; you expect so much from this man so late in his career that you fail to realize most from his draft class are either retired or role players. His supporting cast should be playing defence, creating and knocking down wide open shots.

It’s not even Russ fault why they lose games. If it was, tell me how did they lose to Portland without russ playing a second of the game? They just don’t play any defense, Ad never really looks like he’s trying or it just looks like he’s not the player he used to be. Lebron is just focused on passing Kareem in scoring all time. And the fans and media are being petty to Russ for no reason. If they want him to play effective stop booing him and making him feel like he doesn’t belong there and tell the lakers organization to figure out the best way to have this team play good basketball together whatever the rotations are. Keep the same starting lineup to build chemistry and actually start playing defense and not worry about scoring and passing a record and worry about winning games as a team.

I think 💭 Russ problem is playing home as a Laker. He needs to be anywhere else but in L.A.
💯
Na he just sucks that’s all.
Agreed. The pressure of playing at home is bad enough. The pressure of being booed at home is even worse. Russ was never an efficient guy, but how can he not be playing shook?
@@whobitmyname I agree
His athleticism is and has been waning for a few years now and that was what made him RUSS! If he was on another team that allowed his usage rate to go up, his numbers would go up, but the FG% and turnovers would more than likely get worse. Long story short, long term, you CANNOT win with him! History has shown is this.
it’s tough to watch this team being a Laker fan this year these guys don’t play a drop of defense 🤦🏽♂️

The sad part is when and if Russ leaves our other two stars won't have anyone to hide behind. So I can almost safely say, Lebron and AD will agree that Russ can stay until the end of the season

The spurs should try to get Russ. They have the youth and speed to play with him.
That would be cool if they wanted to move on from De'Jounte. They play similarly and I think it would be harder for him to grow with Russ in the lineup.
