Terrible loss again. Shouldn’t teams be tired after playing back to back games not to mention losing the night before and then winning against the Lakers. Golden State lost tonight. We could have been in first place lol.

He WILL cost the Nuggets at a crucial time.
Like, that's GOING TO HAPPEN.
He's not a reliable star of a team like Jokic or Murray, and he's not a consistent 'Get in line and play your role' role player like Porter, Brown, or Gordon.
"Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

It’s possible Joker threatens to take his home from him and it makes him shape up.

'Afraid of other people' is definitely something I would use to describe Russell Westbrook.

Was watching USC UCLA last night...
Tuned in this morning and turned it off mid 3 qtr.
Dah well. No expectations

A lot of nasty clips like these floating around on the timeline today…
Guess the stars weren’t really trying to compete last night either.

This was the most infuriating play for me. Although Bron lagging behind was a close second.

Sometimes the coach does things that put the players in a good position to win.
Sometimes that results in a win.
Sometimes the players simply don't play as well in some games as they do in other games.
Sometimes that results in a loss.
**** ain't that complex.

Clippers won, but the T'Wolves, Mavs and Kings lost. Good day for the Lakers.

When is the first day these bums under contract can be traded?

Hayes Vando wood Gabe JHS Dlo Rui all gotta go
Never seen this much mediocrity supporting two top 10 players

If the team is as bad as some think. And everybody (not Bron and AD obviously) including AR and DK are not on the block then no trade with assets is truly worth it.
You're not getting a better 3rd scorer for a DLo package (This year's shooting struggles aside)
You're not getting a significant forward upgrade for Rui or Vando
A backup center could be had with Max honestly.
But the other two, if you're looking for outright better players at Guard or Forward, as opposed to finding a guy who threads the needle of weakness between AR/DLo and Bron/Rui or Vando, it doesn't happen unless they seriously consider or move AR as well. And since they refuse to even consider it, it's gotta be threading the needle of the top 6/7 to raise the level of 7/8-11/12 in the rotation

Team doesn't really need a 3rd scorer, or to necessarily get the better individual player in any DLo/Rui trade... what they do need to get is players who are a better fit around Lebron and AD.
I've been saying this forever, those guys don't play winning basketball... the sooner the Lakers move on the better.

Ah yes, aberration… because if there’s one thing this roster is known for it’s playing hard for 48 minutes/86-87 games a year (see what EYE did there?)
