Lakers don't look like a playoff team right now.

they desperately need some of their injured guys to come back. Melo looks washed

 

[Raw Sauce]

Lakers not even looking like a play-in team right now.

 

[InstantKlassik]

Gotta blow this team up man..

 

[Sinnerman]

Do the Lakers know which team they're supposed to pass the ball to?

10 turnovers wtf

Westbrook heading for another 10 TO night this guy is a athletic high motor bum with an ultra green light/license to do as he pleases

At this point he’s simply not an NBA level floor general he cannot run the position SAD

 

[Pimp]

Agreed. But bro there were concerns even back then about Westbrook bball iq. And even back then scouts were saying that harden was a starter. The question is why not sell high.
Same with Philly in that they shoulda traded Simmons once they realized he hadn't improved 3 seasons in.

You do realize Westbrook/KD were injured every year after they traded Harden so it didn't matter.. When they got healthy again they were up 3-1 against the 73-9 warriors..

Harden needed his own team to grow.

The 2015 season when they were all healthy
Look at the top 10 per ratings.. Nobody was taking Harden over Westbrook..

If you look at the numbers.. Russ started be less efficient when he started chasing triple doubles for a second season instead of letting them come naturally. He was trying to force assist and took bad shots.
