[@eksentrysyti]

Never seen a guy commit the same two types of turnovers on a nightly basis that other players might do just a couple times in their careers: - drive and fling over the backboard because he loses the ball while going up - drive, jump, and then flings the ball to a teammate that isn't there He surely misses the days when he had Steven Adams to dump off to for an easy assist

I think I figured it out. Russ is a deep cover agent, commissioned back in his Thunder days with KD and Harden. They conceived a decade long operation to overcome Lebron James and win a championship together and they are on the final leg of their mission, KD and Harden met up in Brooklyn and now Russ has to infiltrate the Lakers and destroy them from the inside out but they betrayed him and now he's forced to go down with the ship. This is likely what's going on.

[@wizardking4919]

[@MarioCindric]

He's not betrayed, they also plotted and deceived the whole world with COVID, because they knew Kyrie is flatearther and antivaxer, now they are gonna trade Kyrie for Westbrook, they will say this guy doesn't want to sacrifice himself for team and play, at least this guy plays hard every night, bring him it's all we need. At end of trade dead line, Russ comes to the Nets and LBJ is stucked again with Kyrie who is even worst than first time. And they all evilly laugh in Nets, buahahahah, buahahahah, buahahahah.

It's not that he doesn't care, it's that he cares about the wrong things imo. He cares about the counting stats and hustles for them like nobody's business but completely ignores the context around how he gets those numbers. What has shocked me about him this year is his absolute lack of accountability. I don't think I've ever seen him act like he could do no wrong for the team. And honestly it's a damn shame because Westbrook was at one point praised by MJ himself for his competitive mentality.

I actually think Kobe and Westbrook would have had better chemistry. Westbrook and Bron have a similar game. Bron just plays a lot smarter and he is the better athlete so he will always get what he wants in the game. With Kobe Russ wouldn't have to share point guard duties. Kobe would also rip him a new one whenever he gets a stupid turnover. And I believe he'd also show Russ the spots he'd be the most effective on the floor. Finally Kobe would get Russ to play a little more defense. Kobe was known as a selfish player. But his ball IQ was incredibly high. They'd still struggle for sure cause it seems Russ doesn't know how to slow down but it wouldn't be this bad. It's hard to adjust when you are an poorly skilled point guard with declining athletism.

the problem with russ is that he plays in such a reckless foolish way that makes life infinitely harder for his own team, and when he gets called out for it he takes it as a personal offense and gets defensive instead of actually taking accountability for his fuckups, egregious ones too at that. it’s the same mentality that’s caused his game to stagnate as he becomes less explosive, and it’s the same mentality that’s seen him come up short when it matters year after year after year. atp russ has to go, he offers more harm than good to this team and i’m tired of him making things more difficult for us due to his suspect decision making

I like this show but if you’ve watched all the lakers games and feed into this bs they pushing you brain dead, every player who handles the ball a lot has high turnovers(Bron,Harden,Luka,Trae etc).

This a perfect example of why Russ probably act like he do to the media, folks be out here trying to slander ppl creating spin

[@tshepo1799]

Shannon has been mentioning in almost all Laker segments that AD has never been the same since the bubble. Russ is running away with the total turnovers. His turnovers are just comically bad. Bron is also a turnover machine, but not as bad as Russ and he has those turnovers because he tries passes that very few attempt.

@@cw1229 i can't believe you deadass tryin to defend Russ after what he's done to his team, obviously he's not the only problem on the team but i think he's the easiest problem to see. also every player you mentioned makes up for their turnovers by doin other things on the floor, scoring, passing etc. james harden isnt far from russ on the TOs but hes way more reliable to score. the media keeps talkin about russ specifically because nothing has changed since the beginning of the season, the lakers still suck and russ isn't making them any better
