Other than the TO's, Westbrook has been the most dependable starter out there. |
AD's floor is higher than Russ' ceiling. |

AD was never the same ever since they asked him to shoot more threes and brought in DS.
We stopped running our offense thru him. That was Pelicans AD. Now, we want him to stretch the floor for Westbrook. lol. No wonder he has gone soft. |

These are the games that young players like THT can make a name for themselves. Especially on national tv.
I hope he realizes how much he failed himself and the team tonight |

Not true, Westbrook actually got him a ton of easy baskets as long as he go to the rim, but AD is lazy sometimes with those jumpers |

| AD has the mind of a 28 year old, but the body of a 38 year old. |

This is why I was kind of unmoved by the Detroit win. I mean it's nice that we managed to not look completely inept in the second half but as many have said here you know running out of things to say at this point |
This is why I said a win against Detroit means nothing. We lose against Playoff contending teams. |

| We need Matt Foley to come and give these guys a pep talk. Let them know that if they don't get it together, they will end up living in a van down by the river!! |

| Oh well, at least they didn't get blown out playing against a good team. Baby steps, I guess. |

Russ going 3 for 6 is pure luck. A statistical anomaly. He's a historically bad shooter. This "hot hand" crap is how you lose games, although we have plenty of other ways to lose games. |

| Memo to Vogel, if melo/monk /Ellington are cold, you sit them quick, especially monk and Ellington. |

Imagine if Bron was playing rather than THT. This would have been a W.
We keep seeing this type of Westbrook, and keep Bron on the Court, we have a chance to turn this season around. |

Worst game I’ve seen THT have as a pro. Maybe his mind is on his big 21st Birthday Party on Thursday.
Came back from 25 down, but come on, we could have won this game. |

He might be. Or, he may be taking the Kuz route...slow and frustrating. |

Bron played against DET and we were still down big. So, lets stop this *IF bron plays, this is a win* propaganda |

Hot hand is how you win games. Jordan Poole is a shooting 29% from the 3, and he took 11 3s and made 8 against the raptors. Hot hand matters |

Does LeBron have to smack a opposing player to get this squad fired up all the time?
This team's lack of focus is so weird for a vet squad.. |

Just saying, the AD hate has taken on new levels if someone thinks AD's "underperformance" has been less impactful than Russ. |

If Vogel went with rondo or monk running the point to start the 4th, we might’ve won this game |

| man tht didn't play well, we needed him to step up. He started out hot and has been looking worse each game since. At least he has hit his floor now and will have a big game next. Book it! |

| Monk is to inconsistent for my liking, he’s the guy you try to package with THT to bring in a better scorer. |
