Last time.. Lakers came off a High Energy from a Low Team.. Lakers vs Kings.. Lakers didnt know. Middle Team.. #10) Lakers #11) Kings.. Middle team and Low Energy.. Middle team of roster!!! Thats a battle.. Faill. Now Lakers #6. Of Roster Well. .. Oh and they won, back? 1-1

Ay man, as a Lakers fan, I'll take this as a positive. When Westbrook has 0 turnovers it's a legit miracle from the Lord and I'll take it as a positive
Good formula for your point guard too have low assists? 🤦🏾♂️ less assists means less points. Don't count on THT too put up points every game because he won't. Russ is at his best when he's getting others involved but I guess that's not good enough formula for this team
@@glonavytray3728 Tht and LeBron are both playmakers, so we don't need Russ to do it too. If we have to keep Russ, that is the best formula, take him off the ball.
@@glonavytray3728 if that’s the case how come the lakers win more when Russ doesn’t hav the ball in his hands? The last 5-7 games Lebron has been more ball dominant and it’s working Russ is not to be trusted as a decision maker
@@robaustin_ THT can't even score consistently but you believe he can handle the ball better than Russ? Smh Lebron the best/top scorer on the Lakers why would he concentrate on getting assists when he can score easily getting them from Westbrook? Russ is useless off the ball, hence too why their record is what it is now. I'm convinced most of y'all don't know basketball at all
Facts😂This game was actually encouraging because he definitely didn’t chase a triple double this game. He attacked at the right moments and didn’t force a single pass that wasn’t there. I’ve been a huge Russ fan for his entire career but if leaving triple doubles in the past is what he needs to be successful, so be it.
It's a simple formula. Not turning the ball over gives you more offensive possessions which leads to more opportunities to score and to set your defense. It's not rocket science!
0 turnovers is too much to ask from any star consistently other than Chris Paul. Especially for Russ, I’d say if Russ could get it down to 2.5 or even 2 per game, it’d change the whole Lakers season
Russ needs to play 2 Guard. Y’all see his plus minus when he didn’t have the ball? He had zero turnovers. But mostly because he was off ball. Russ would of been a phenomenal 2 guard when he had a mid range shot developing and he was an athletic freak. Could of been a d-wade type and OKC messed that up when they didn’t put Harden as point guard. When they didn’t recognize it. This OKC fault. I been screaming this for years as an OKC fan who lives in OKC and goes to the games. If you know, then you know
True, but honestly you can give a good amount of fault to K.D. , because especially late in games Westbrook would have the ball making dumb decisions, or trying to be the hero taking shots that were too difficult for him to make. Actually the coach should get the most blame, no one sees the players on his team most, and should know their strengths and weaknesses
the team needs momentum. Lebron is good at taking the last win and applying it to the next game. Lakers won 3 in a row this is their biggest winning streak. Possibly the team coming together
@UCEzbXlkFucZpMiW_s67jPRw ohhh yeah and I remember skip saying the season doesn't start after Christmas well Christmas has passed no more of this b's from him at least 😁
@@izsan9070 Can you name this All-star roster? Cause last time I checked LeBron and AD were the only All-stars on the Lakers and AD hasn’t played in almost a month
I agree... help your squad rather than hurt them. Triple Double does not mean anything if its in a loss. I want to see Russ focusing on doing whatever the team needs to win because he has the talent and drive.
Westbrook should look at this game as his blueprint….. he shot less than 20 shots, 1 3 pointer, 0 turnovers…and a +17 But we all know Westbrook, it ain’t happening
@@curbyourenthusiazm he better not lol Lakers can deal with 4 / 5 to from him max..but they still deflate the momentum..he's a wild player but if he can calm down no more 6+ turnovers a game they have a good chance if ad comes back with heart and doesn't get hurt in 25 games after his return...
2 assists and 7 rebounds? he wasn't forcing and fishing for other stats that's why he didn't have any turnovers instead of waiting for a useless rebound his bigs can grab and getting back on defense or forcing stupid passes looking for forced assists if he keeps this up he might actually be helpful for the lakers
He’s literally BEEN helpful to the Lakers. Aside from that horrid start of the year he’s been the Lakers’ 2nd best player. The Lakers problem is rotations and unacceptable defense. Russ has been a positive for the majority of the season so far
@@JojiUrHomie russ has been a net zero at best. if he stays out of the way the lakers have a shot. he is not a play maker, because he will turn the ball over in crucial moments. rebounds, points in the paint, and transition buckets is where russ should eat.
@@Kevinschart his passing assist to turnover ratio is actually pretty decent , it's his live ball turnover s the are so costly , when he trying to hard and getting handling errors and just losing the ball
im actually starting to wonder what happened. russ was just dishing 21 assists with 4 tos last season they need to study his brain after he's done in the NBA this coming from a russ fan
Good for the Lakers to have momentum, but the wins have been: Kings(scrub team) Blazers (12th seed-No McCollum, no Covington) Wolves (Play-in team without Towns and Russell) Rockets (worst team in the west) Haven’t won against a .500 team or above since the Heat game
who would have thought that when you combine poor shooting with a lot of turnovers you lose games. sure its the kings but shannon is spot on: the fact they didnt turn the ball over was what kept them in the game
well he solved the TO issue by not trying to get 10 assists. still shot like g league player, but it'll do. guaranteed he goes back to hero ball next game.
The point is what we all wondered for years, if Russ is really a PG ? Yes he had many double asst yrs but overall reducing his usage, ball handling duties, & shooting less 3’s lead’s to him having a bigger impact on his team.
We might have to start talking about LeBron in the MVP Conversation soon. Ever since He returned from missing those 8 games, he's been the best player in the league and now, the Lakers find themselves basically tied with the 5th seed nuggets, and with only 3 more losses than the 76ers. Both Embiid and Jokic are in MVP Conversation. If LeBron keeps up this level of play and the Lakers end up in a top 5 seed in a month, then LeBron will be my MVP
Lakers would be the same without LeBron. That's how bad they've been. Nuggets and 6ers would be the two worst teams in basketball without without star centers.
@@1stAmendmentorDie1776 the lakers can barely beat bad teams. you're telling me that without lebron's 30 points they have the same record? he won't get mvp nods but he is the only reason the lakers aren't the 13th seed.
Damn 0 turnovers for Westbrook. I was looking forward to skips daily segment of watching highlights we can’t see and yelling out “what are you doing Russ? Russ? Russ? Russ? Come on Russ!?”
“Most of the year he been a problem for the Lakers” man Skip just be saying anything these days bruh. Knowing damn well Bron playing one of his best season statistically. 🤦🏻♂️
@Fishstick - Umm no. Steph had the exact same team last year that he has this year. The Warriors just did a good job at developing their players in the off-season. Steph had most of the nba world trying to give him the award last year, from the media, and the fans. Handpicked??? LeBron told the Lakers to not pay Alex Caruso??? To get rid of Dwight Howard and Javale McGee a year ago after they won the chip??? Use your common sense bud, stop repeating what every other LeBron hater tells you.
If you ever get a moment, you should see the history of how Skip totally vouched and went to bat for Shannon. People were hesitant on hiring Shanon and Skip said "no...this is the guy" over and over. There's a lot of love there.
What teams over .500 has he won against scoring over 30 ? Impressive scoring no doubt but he's mainly scoring that vs scrub teams. Do that vs the Suns and Warriors in the playoffs and you win know thats something to flex about.
The lakers have lost games when Russ has 1-3 turnovers... so his low turnover are not the reason for them winning ... tht actually played good that was the difference
I believe Malik getting hot in the 4th was the difference. We was dead on offense before he came back in the game. But we all see the game differently. Not saying ur wrong.
The Lakers shot awful and the Kings shot well. Yet the Lakers won on TOs and rebounds. This is promising because most likely the 3s don’t brick this hard in other games.

@@Kevinschart Exactly. I hope whatever plan they wrote up last night because the norm, because it truly worked. You can't appease to one player. They looked like a championship-worthy team, though. Even Malik at PG would keep the ball protected, to be honest.

Lakers ideal roster: Russell Westbrook Malik Monk Lebron James Jerami Grant Anthony Davis Avery Bradley Wayne Ellington Stanley Johnson Austin Reeves Kent Bazemore Trevor Ariza Carmelo Anthony Dwight Howard
The Kings had 10 TOs to the Lakers one at the half but still had the lead. TOs aren't the whole story. You can't blame one player for the Lakers losing games.
any kings fans in here? Like honestly how do you guys feel when media outlets say “these are the kiiings” like it genuinely makes me feel bad how badly then down talk the franchise. How does your fan base feel?
Bruh I literally was yelling at the screen at how good the the ball movement was when they made that 3 . That’s how they need to play!!! Looked like a breath of fresh air
Russ is so stubborn, he was obviously very conscientious about his turnovers, shot selection, and overall decision making, but he threw shade on the reporter for asking an obvious question of someone who went 407 straight games with a turnover, and were it not for that single game in 2016 against the Trailblazers it would have been 586 straight - March 2013 😂
@@waldolibby4391 I agree with what you said. They need to talk about other teams as well like the Warriors, Suns, Utah, Bulls, Cavs etc. But I think it comes down to how many viewers they get for that kind of content. At the end of the day for a media company it all comes down to their ratings. How many people are actually watching their channel.
Skip and Shannon are overdosing on Westbrook. It’s starting to get out of hand. If I was Russ I’m Checking these two if I ever run into them. They don’t even tell the truth half the time. Every year it’s always a scapegoat for lebron
It’s LeBron’s fault the Lakers couldn’t win consistently when he was in street clothes??? AD and Russ blowing a 25 point lead to OKC……without LeBron in the lineup….but I see ya profile pic…..the criticism makes sense now.
He had 0 turnovers tonight, but I pray that he can sustain it. I think the solution is to have him focus on scoring rather than forcing assists. He needs to have the triple-double erased from his mind, which is why I would put him at Shooting Guard and have Malik at Point Guard. Of course don't ignore open passes, but if his role is simply to get buckets, do good screens, and crash boards, he will do well. Don't have him setting up plays; have the plays set up FOR him, because he's unstoppable when it comes to getting to the rim.
Crazy Lonzo didn’t play well his rookie year and everyone said de’aaron fox was way better. Now everyone singing lonzo’s praises. Lol time changes everything and people have short memories.
Who is saying lonzo is better than dearon fox? Lonzo is the 4th scoring option on his team. Great defender and all but any team would take fox’s over him.
Did anyone else hear skip say “you’ve got THE all time greates…one of the all time greatest players in LeBron” man full admitted LeBron the Goat and then backed up real quick to protect his narrative 🤣

they are so busy massaging russ's ego that they won't run the correct strategy
@@centreforevil LeCoastToCoast.
@@Kevinschart Exactly. I hope whatever plan they wrote up last night because the norm, because it truly worked. You can't appease to one player. They looked like a championship-worthy team, though. Even Malik at PG would keep the ball protected, to be honest.
For some reason I like the ball in THTs hands more so than Russ just my opinion
I want Russ to do this consistently, and if he does, maybe the Lakers might keep him.
Maybe we going to the chip lol tf u mean they might keep him SMH like of course they are.....
@@dacreativebrinson66 well there is trade rumors, the Lakers were open to trading him because of how he has been playing and hasnt been a good fit on the Lakers
I love lebron and I hope Russ plays like this all the time. But either way they’re not trading him, nobody is taking that contract
@@cedricshema6669 who is trading for Russ?
Wow! an early in the day video from the real skip and Shannon's undisputed channel! 👍
Westbrook about to have 7+ turnovers next game 😂
12
He’s like “yeah I got to make them turnovers up from last game”
Lakers ideal roster:
Russell Westbrook
Malik Monk
Lebron James
Jerami Grant
Anthony Davis
Avery Bradley
Wayne Ellington
Stanley Johnson
Austin Reeves
Kent Bazemore
Trevor Ariza
Carmelo Anthony
Dwight Howard
@9INE PLANETS him & Nunn getting traded for Grant
@9INE PLANETS No but is most likely happening. It is a rumor
More like:
Lowry
Lebron
Hield
AD
Howard
Malik
Reeves
Ariza
Carmelo
Ellington
Bradley
Johnson
2:35 - Yall talking like yall surprised I didn't turn the ball over. We're SHOCKED!!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
If Westbrook had 0 turnovers then the world about end 😓
The Kings had 10 TOs to the Lakers one at the half but still had the lead. TOs aren't the whole story. You can't blame one player for the Lakers losing games.
LeBron now transitioning to a center at the end years of his career is something none of us saw coming 😂
Man Lebron is something else. Never seen anything like him.
There are very few 'true' centers left in today's basketball....the centers from the 90s would have killed Lebron on the block.
Agree.. still impressive
Actually russ closed the game, he made 3 of 4 free throws and he made the lay up that gave them the 3 point lead from tht
Chill with facts, let them stick with their “narrative”
They don’t wanna hear that tho
Idk why you wouldn’t play Dwight. There’s a reason you need a center who can protect the rim and rebound.
I happy for the Lakers over the victory last night against the Kings
Westbrook also had the best plus/minus. And led the team by far
Skip is on point it is a miracle 😂 lol 😂 but If Russ had played like this in previous games their record would be wins above the .500
Can we see the highlights???
No bloopers today ? 🥺 Come on Russ why u did this to us
Why do they not show the video's they're talking about?
There's 29 other teams in the nba
Respect them and their fans and include them in the show
Naw bro...Lakeshow all day!
So happy there mentioning the bulls lately as one of the teams to beat were back baby!
so disappointed that there's no blooper reel today it's become one of my favorite segments 😭
10:05 shannon was speakinig facts about the lakes being an older team
Lakers in 5
Yessir
Decades
Not against the suns
@@cookingupnothing7657 like your blazers
Crypto lakers Trash
i gotta come see how they react to almost being beaten by my Kings. we fought hard, it was a fun game to watch tbh
As a non delusion -toxic laker fan yesterdays game was super entertaining and was just a nice dub 🔥
Not a kings fan but I lived around the Sacramento area all my life I hope one season they get a chip it’s long overdue
any kings fans in here? Like honestly how do you guys feel when media outlets say “these are the kiiings” like it genuinely makes me feel bad how badly then down talk the franchise. How does your fan base feel?
We're used to it lol, always the underdogs..and that jump ball call was bogus
@@stefanwenk oh yea that was pretty sus, i get it he didn't touch the ball but all the LA players were literally on the other side of the court
You guys are good. But those 4th quarter turnovers are killers. What was Dearron Fox thinking with like 1:30 left down 3?! They can't win like that.
@@stefanwenk As a laker fan watching that game I was mad at the refs for screwing that up for you guys. That was horrible ...
Respect to you mate. A true Kings fan
Bruh I literally was yelling at the screen at how good the the ball movement was when they made that 3 . That’s how they need to play!!! Looked like a breath of fresh air
Skip: "I witnessed the whole game last night because my power stayed on"
When Shannon said "we're shocked" I died!!
skip got to find an excuse whenever bron win 😂😂 whenever it’s jordan it’s “oh he was just so competitive, he always wanted blood”
NBA is highest level of Basketball 🏀 Respect this win by the Lakers
This really actually frustrates me cause this proves Russ can actually either cut the turnover down or just not turn it over at all.
Westbrook didn't have any turnovers because he barely had the ball.
Not really. In order for that he needs to barely have the ball. He only had 2 assists last night.
@@danieljenkins7951 Doesnt makes sense when Russ had a 29% usage rating last night, he had the ball casual, he just played smart
@Versatile Wolf yes because Russ proved that he knows what he's doing but just doesn't care.
@@ForTheViolence we've seen Russ have 5 assist and 8 turnovers so its not like he won't turn the ball over given the chance.
That necklace Unc rocking is dope.
Russ is so stubborn, he was obviously very conscientious about his turnovers, shot selection, and overall decision making, but he threw shade on the reporter for asking an obvious question of someone who went 407 straight games with a turnover, and were it not for that single game in 2016 against the Trailblazers it would have been 586 straight - March 2013 😂
2020 no turnover in the playoffs game 5 against OKC
Shannon Sharpe needs his own show. He's amazing!!!
Not gonna lie Skip and Shannon: Undisputed has become more basketball oriented in terms of debates and discussions. Nice to see.
Brady, Cowboys and Lebron
Rinse,Wash & Repeat
@@waldolibby4391 I agree with what you said. They need to talk about other teams as well like the Warriors, Suns, Utah, Bulls, Cavs etc. But I think it comes down to how many viewers they get for that kind of content. At the end of the day for a media company it all comes down to their ratings. How many people are actually watching their channel.
They both gang up on Russ and Skip loves it.
@@manofaith75 Somehow its making them more reasonable in other areas 😅. Skip defends Lebron now thats news 😂
Dog tag chain is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Skip and Shannon are overdosing on Westbrook. It’s starting to get out of hand. If I was Russ I’m
Checking these two if I ever run into them. They don’t even tell the truth half the time. Every year it’s always a scapegoat for lebron
It’s LeBron’s fault the Lakers couldn’t win consistently when he was in street clothes??? AD and Russ blowing a 25 point lead to OKC……without LeBron in the lineup….but I see ya profile pic…..the criticism makes sense now.
Shannon with the 🔥 fit
Skip acting like 14 in the 4th quarter doesn’t count as being a closer smh
14 in ANY quarter is HUGE! Skip is so annoying man lol
2 Middle Teams. Oo what a battle
These are professionals ppl. Any win is a good win.
Some wins are bad and some are good but a win in this league is HARD.
I can respect that @Big Groovy OG.. The Lakers will take any win they can get at this point.
@@karatjuicepodcast right! Lol
It was the 0 turnovers by Westbrook and the rebounding and scoring by Howard.... we need to KEEP Howard in the paint!
I agree they need to give Howard some more time, also why they didn't use Johnson for defense, this kid is a force to be reckoned with.
he's not eligible to play sir because he's renewing his 10 day contract ..
He had 0 turnovers tonight, but I pray that he can sustain it. I think the solution is to have him focus on scoring rather than forcing assists. He needs to have the triple-double erased from his mind, which is why I would put him at Shooting Guard and have Malik at Point Guard. Of course don't ignore open passes, but if his role is simply to get buckets, do good screens, and crash boards, he will do well. Don't have him setting up plays; have the plays set up FOR him, because he's unstoppable when it comes to getting to the rim.
Im more impressed it took Russ damn near 6 years to have a turnover free game
He had one in the bubble..
Why do they watch replays and not let us see??
LeBron's is starting play like Luca...how amazing is that boys
Lol LeBron been doing this since Luke was a baby lmao
Only question with the show I love…can we see the highlights when drip and unk see them to please!!!!!!! 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
Crazy Lonzo didn’t play well his rookie year and everyone said de’aaron fox was way better. Now everyone singing lonzo’s praises. Lol time changes everything and people have short memories.
Who is saying lonzo is better than dearon fox? Lonzo is the 4th scoring option on his team. Great defender and all but any team would take fox’s over him.
@@ForTheViolence what does do better than zo besides Scoring??? Serious question ⁉️
I really wish you guys would add the video you guys are watching so we can see as well. There’s a lot of people who didn’t or couldn’t watch the game
They’re really gonna talk about the Lakers every day for the rest of the season aren’t they
Skip had almost verbatim my initial Reaction. 😁😁😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Did anyone else hear skip say “you’ve got THE all time greates…one of the all time greatest players in LeBron” man full admitted LeBron the Goat and then backed up real quick to protect his narrative 🤣
Westbrook 19 pts, 0 Turnovers + 17, He had a turnover in 407 straight games! Go Lakers ✌️✌️✌️
407 straight games with a turnover...LET THAT SINK IN FOR A SECOND!🤦🏾♂️
Imagine having a "top player" needing to stay out the way to win
Heard of “hack-a-Shaq” ?
Why do they keep talking about a bust of a team like the lakers and not a surprise underrated team like the Bulls???
