Firing the coach will definitely address the Lakers' problems. And yet here we are.

I don't think this is a coach problem. It's a Russell Westbrook problem. I've held back. But this project or experiment is a failure. You were better off with KCP and Kuzma

Can we talk about Caris LeVert? If you’ve watched him over the years. This ain’t something new. He’s streaky. But once it turns on. It won’t stop. I remember when he drop 51 vs Boston a few years ago. Similar thing. Basically a ****ty game. Then the second half he’s a completely different player.

Watch his all possessions clips below. He gets that and1 on Melo (melo gets a t for throwing the ball) and boom takeover is ON.

Covid crushed teams in the first few months, now it’s the Injury Bug’s turn to start running thru teams until the spring.

Los Angeles Lakers star Russell Westbrook benched late in loss; coach Frank Vogel had green light, sources say

LOS ANGELES -- Long before Russell Westbrook was benched down the stretch of Wednesday's 111-104 loss to the Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Lakers coach Frank Vogel was given assurances that the organization would support him in taking a hard line while coaching the star, sources told ESPN.

Oh wow, Bucks finally closed out a game.

Bucks record when big three are playing 17-3

Bucks current record- 28-19

Conclusion- Bucks bench needs tons of improvement

It's crazy that Joel just had maybe the best game of his career and Joker just went full on "hold my beer" and had one of the best games you'll ever find. Joker is just special, but both those guys are playing like All-Time greats right now. Those two, Bron, KD, Giannis, how much greatness can you get out of a single month or two stretch of games, it's just crazy. Love to see it.

Another fun Westbrook stat... Westbrook ON in 4th quarters -34 in 342 minutes, Westbrook OFF in 4th quarters +50 in 198 minutes. Reports now circulating that the Lakers have wanted to pull him from late game situations for awhile now but didn't want to damage his "psyche".. No idea how true that is but the whole situation is a mess. Benching him didn't even matter, not like what they replace him with is any better, and the game before that the Lakers hung on to win with a LeBron-Stanley Johnson two man game.. Such a flawed team at this point, again AD and Nunn could make a big swing given how shallow everyone else's games are.

Also rumors circulating that Kurt Rambis is trying to call shots for Frank.. Just wild stuff for the Lakers lol.

I think the Bucks bench will be fine when it's allowed to be the bench and not trying to fill the void of starters. Got to remember they'll be adding Portis or Lopez to than 2nd unit at some point as well. They are assuming he'll return this year right?

Hope Murray and MPJ can come back healthy, would love to see Nuggets fully healthy

This feels like another wide open year.

Brook is just starting to practice.

They have been tight lipped about it up to this point and no timelines.

When your team isn't performing it sucks. But when you got a squad that's good and then the injury bug starts creeping up. It's maddening. Because you can't control it.

I would assume they'll be players in the buyout market as well. Say Eric Gordon or someone gets a buyout he might be a solid pick up in place of Wes.

Do you see them exploring trade though? I like all of Pat, Donte, and Allen, but they are missing that longer wing player.. It's not Hood lol. When you have those 3, plus Jrue who can play the 2 next to Hill if needed, it seems like the upgrade for them could be a 3/4 type.

Also do you think they would even remotely consider adding Brook's contract to a trade?
