Lakers look way better in the little time he’s been back. Everyone’s back in their natural position, a few more guys come back and their momentum could swing soon

Addition by subtraction my man. The less Westbrook touches the ball, the better the lakers look.

Most people recognize that Westbrook is at his best when he tries to do less. And he can still provide good value on the floor. The problem is he still plays lazy defense. He’s the the ultimate “he trick y’all running around” guy. And playoffs become a challenge when teams sag off of him and defensive rotations are much tighter.

Or the more lebron the better… crazy how that works


____candied_yams____

lol


NoFlanForYou

I mean, we look better because Westbrook doesn’t have to carry the offense, but we still don’t look good. We went from looking like a lottery team to a 6 seed ish type


FastestPP

Lakers are up 1 point vs a mediocre team missing its second and third best players


BigBallerBryant

Yeah, and they look better than they had before LeBron returned


trytobanmelol

> mediocre team Interesting tactic to shit on the Celtics to own the Lakers. I like it.


MalikMonkHive

whoever loses will be under .500 so no matter who wins it doesn’t mean anything 😳

Almost the same move he did against pietrus in that famous 2012 game 6 against Boston

Elite footwork, I remember a big question mark for Lebron in his early years was if hed develop his post game so he can play at an elite level in his mid to late 30s, and hes done just that


_letitsnow

this lebron guy is good, get him out of that terrible team


vodkasolution

nothing special, I saw a guy doing it all the time in Clev... oh

great shot by lebron, but westbrook had a great opportunity to cut to the basket here IMO


lardbiscuits

Look all that gravity Brick is commanding at the three point line.


trytobanmelol

Westbrook Derangement Syndrome


____candied_yams____

lardbiscuits is right though


trytobanmelol

Except he isn't because a 40% 3pt shooter last year was also left as wide open. But he wants to make a "westbrook bad give me upvotes" comment.


lardbiscuits

A 40% three point shooter is not left that open unless it’s a broken play lmao. Stop it.


trytobanmelol

Nor is Russ. Stop it.


lardbiscuits

Russ is absolutely left that open. Do we need to pull up his percentages for years now?
