He's not the same player he was two years ago, but he's definitely playing hard both offensively and defensively so far. I can't fault him much. It's hard to grab offensive rebounds when your team is shooting long ball. Guards are more likely to grab those than centers or power forwards. The game is no longer played inside like it used to be.

Exactly! That shot selection is horrible and he’s been like this his whole career. This is nothing new, the only reason people are talking bad about Westbrook now is because he’s not putting up those triple double anymore
if they send him home Lebron would have to take some of the blame (He´s shooting terribly and play little to No defense) and No fanboy wants that; Westbrook is there to be the scapegoat, as simply as that.

When did GM Lebron realize that Westbrook was not a shooter. Was it before or after Lebron recruited him. Because Lebron traded away KCP who was shooting almost .400 from 3pt for Westbrook who is .250 shooter. And KCP is now averaging more than Westbrook this season
The send em home at the same time is just why this show is so great. Chemistry. They should be competing with undisputed so maybe they would step up there game
Exactly.. or.any other team for that matter. The Lakers brass know tye team this year is a 7 or 8 seed in tye west, and no team eats Russ 47il price tag without asking for a fortune in return, they will ride this year out so Russ and others can free up cap space

The Lakers did not have any good trades for Westbroock. Those rumors about trades like Hield and Turner did not make sense. No team wants to help the Lakers by taking Westbroock off their hands and giving good players in return.
funny thing is EVERYBODY thinks if russ goes, problem solved, when lebron is who brings the most drama, soon as russ leaves, new issues will appear, GUARANTEED💯
I can't help but feel like all these issues are caused by "player empowerment" There's no accountability and players don't care what anyone says or thinks
If the Lakers think they are going to play soon to be 38-year old LeBron 38 mins/night, ask him to play defense and carry this team offensively, they are freaking delusional. An injury is coming soon if they keep doing this and they will keep losing games because he's not being rested enough to be effective in the 4th quarter. They should have gone to AD for the remaining 3 mins of the 4th quarter and the ball should be in LeBron's hand or Reeves if LeBron is trying to post.
Palinka's job is about gambling. Nick says it like its a bad thing. Russ hasn't worked, but Palinka isn't getting fired for this. Magic couldnt get rid of Palinka, so neither will this.
The sad part is I don't have to be an NBA exec to look at the landscape at the teams likely to tank and the players on those teams likely to be traded to realize nothing new or better (barring nets out of nowhere blowing it up) will be available. It's the Spurs/pacers/hornets. That's it
Pelinka should have never been hired. Houston offered them John Wall and Christian Wood for one pick, Westbrook, and tht. That was the deal that should have been made.
Did Nick Wright just say something nice about the Golden State Warriors? I think he said the first Laker game on the schedule wasn't winnable. I think that is as close he will ever get to complimenting them.
3:15 1230 games are played per season, times 4 ...equals 4920 games. So in the last 4 seasons. In 4920 no one besides him has done something so stupid?!?! That sounds about right...
I agree with Nick about Russ but i'm surprised he does not talk about Lebricks, because i've seen some really ugly and ill advised shots from him including in the money time. He also has a Karl Malone stolen ball when he wanted to back a blazer. Furthermore why reproach the Lakers to shoot too many threes when they are unable to make at least 35% of them and not apply the same critic to Lebronze who is shooting a lot of 3 but remains under 25%?? Fanboyism probably
let me guess, Kobe fanboy?... while lebron hasn't been a good shooter so far, he's still at 47% from the field(also kobe's career highest lol) that's better than the league's average. While westbrook is at 28% from the field he's literally a liability
Broussard says he’s not putting it on the coach? Why not. They fired Vogel, making him a scapegoat, and then everyone praised the hiring of Ham. If you’re not going to blame ham for what’s going on why did they change coaches?
Why did first thing first took the best part out😂😂when chris said leave him in there for energy and defense and Kevin was like “energy?” And then nick was like “defense?” Goes to show you how much they cut off or sensor video these days.
WB played a good game overall..media wants to key in on 1 shot. they were still ahead till DL hit the 3 in LBJ face...then LBJ came down and shot a fall away jumper instead of powereing to basket... but thats RW fault...they say it's AD's team yet LBJ ran to the free throw line and clanked the free throw...LBJ is the real problem, happens everywhere he's been.
Why does Coach Ham gets ZERO criticism? He caved to Russ by not benching him. He put Russ back into the game near the end and didn't even call a play and led Russ to take that horrible shot.
The loss was a good L - played tough, made more 3s. But Russ taking that last shot made it 10x worse an L than it should've been. He should've gone for the dunk and pulled a foil not take that jumper.
Russ was mad that Lebron and AD took the ball from him and sent him to the corner the previous two possessions. Terrible basketball and this team has no chemistry.
Nick’s point clearly shows that taking 3s is really not a good shot. It’s the shot with the lowest percent further proving that point. The game has really gotten quit boring watch players shoot 3s in transition. The 3 point shot has ruined the game, if you consider shooting 38% good, let that sink in.
Have faith and wait till 15 or 20 games. Who daheck judges after just 3 games? This is a stupid amount of mental pressure for such a small pool size. Game 1 was bad. But its against the hot shooting warriors. What do you expect? Game 2 was a close game. They actually came back. Westbrook shot terrible but he had some great defensive plays. Game 3 was an even closer game. Yes westbrook made a terrible shot choice at the end but it was a close game. Defensively it was great.

I’m a lakers fan and broncos fan. I got double Russ problems
You got Lebum problems LMAO Lakers was losing before he got there.
I agreed with Tom Green 100%
Palinka's job is about gambling. Nick says it like its a bad thing. Russ hasn't worked, but Palinka isn't getting fired for this. Magic couldnt get rid of Palinka, so neither will this.
They're all playing bad inlcuding Lebron. Nick's a fan so he wont say anything bad about Lebron.
I agree with Nick if the Lakers take the Pacers deal after 20 games Rob needs to be fired no doubt about it, Someone needs to be held accountable.
Do not adjust your TV sets Thts Nick Wright's suit. WTF!!
The sad part is I don't have to be an NBA exec to look at the landscape at the teams likely to tank and the players on those teams likely to be traded to realize nothing new or better (barring nets out of nowhere blowing it up) will be available. It's the Spurs/pacers/hornets. That's it
Pelinka should have never been hired. Houston offered them John Wall and Christian Wood for one pick, Westbrook, and tht. That was the deal that should have been made.
Did Nick Wright just say something nice about the Golden State Warriors? I think he said the first Laker game on the schedule wasn't winnable. I think that is as close he will ever get to complimenting them.
3:15 1230 games are played per season, times 4 ...equals 4920 games. So in the last 4 seasons. In 4920 no one besides him has done something so stupid?!?! That sounds about right...
I agree with Nick about Russ but i'm surprised he does not talk about Lebricks, because i've seen some really ugly and ill advised shots from him including in the money time. He also has a Karl Malone stolen ball when he wanted to back a blazer.
Furthermore why reproach the Lakers to shoot too many threes when they are unable to make at least 35% of them and not apply the same critic to Lebronze who is shooting a lot of 3 but remains under 25%?? Fanboyism probably
let me guess, Kobe fanboy?... while lebron hasn't been a good shooter so far, he's still at 47% from the field(also kobe's career highest lol) that's better than the league's average. While westbrook is at 28% from the field he's literally a liability
Broussard says he’s not putting it on the coach? Why not. They fired Vogel, making him a scapegoat, and then everyone praised the hiring of Ham. If you’re not going to blame ham for what’s going on why did they change coaches?
If you read him the stats, he says “I do whatever is AXED of me.” 😑
Why did first thing first took the best part out😂😂when chris said leave him in there for energy and defense and Kevin was like “energy?” And then nick was like “defense?” Goes to show you how much they cut off or sensor video these days.
Lakers don’t need a move wait till next year Kobe had to go through it
Ham was looking at that check
It is the coach job now to make them better. If we see Russ and Pat Bev again in starting line up, you've got to fire him.
The Lakers should give their GM a promotion after doing the Pacers trade.
WB played a good game overall..media wants to key in on 1 shot. they were still ahead till DL hit the 3 in LBJ face...then LBJ came down and shot a fall away jumper instead of powereing to basket... but thats RW fault...they say it's AD's team yet LBJ ran to the free throw line and clanked the free throw...LBJ is the real problem, happens everywhere he's been.
Lebron missed the shot
Why does Coach Ham gets ZERO criticism? He caved to Russ by not benching him. He put Russ back into the game near the end and didn't even call a play and led Russ to take that horrible shot.
I just want to see what's the next laexcuses when they trade ross🤔
The loss was a good L - played tough, made more 3s. But Russ taking that last shot made it 10x worse an L than it should've been. He should've gone for the dunk and pulled a foil not take that jumper.
Or or if the self proclaimed goat would've hit the jumper they would've went to ot. Was Russ on the floor the last 3 minutes,hmm?
@@troypointer3765 he still has the best clutch shot % vs Kobe and Jordan tho 🤷🏽
@@RafaelUnplugged I'm not talking percentage or stats I'm talking about yesterday. Tell me why he didn't make the jumper with Russ off the floor?
Russ was mad that Lebron and AD took the ball from him and sent him to the corner the previous two possessions. Terrible basketball and this team has no chemistry.
It’s 3 games in like cmon now the only stats that matter are the win loss column the stats gon even out
give him max extension to boost his confidence
Nick’s point clearly shows that taking 3s is really not a good shot. It’s the shot with the lowest percent further proving that point. The game has really gotten quit boring watch players shoot 3s in transition. The 3 point shot has ruined the game, if you consider shooting 38% good, let that sink in.
Have faith and wait till 15 or 20 games. Who daheck judges after just 3 games? This is a stupid amount of mental pressure for such a small pool size.
Game 1 was bad. But its against the hot shooting warriors. What do you expect?
Game 2 was a close game. They actually came back. Westbrook shot terrible but he had some great defensive plays.
Game 3 was an even closer game. Yes westbrook made a terrible shot choice at the end but it was a close game. Defensively it was great.
