Bryant wanted more mpg.....not getting them.

Wait a minute…

I actually did not say Ja was better.

I said the opposite.

Ja is more exciting to watch.

That is the only reason I had him as a bubble superstar.

Yeah, talking shit is more exciting than 71.

Was it efficient to foul out with 7 TOs? He played OK.

More turnovers than assists

Never said i was talking about people on here. Was a general statement that is true.

Say what you want but the lakers struggles last yr was blamed on russ and pelinka. Russ became the punching bag for lakers fans since he arrived

lol

The old "it's people on other sites" excuse.

Try something more original.

RW feeding PG and Leonard though.

Russ was a bad fit which everyone knew and Russ was his own worst enemy while he was with the Lakers for the reasons @wildturkey stated.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Russ is so much happier here

Look at him on the bench compared to how he was on the bench with the Lakers.

This tells me they just never truly made him feel welcomed with the Lakers.....it was always blame Russ

Well.....he didn't exactly fit in.

Snapping at coach, etc....Ham did every possible thing to try and make him work on the Lakers.

 

[trojanfan12]

I also didn't care to respond because @wildturkey is like wiggy with the length of his post then @Shaqdaddy11 was on anti laker bs when i almost never say anything negative about them

lol

"The length of his post".

His post was barely a paragraph.

Yep.

 

[shopson67]

His stats are up other than boards. Of course, that includes fouls and turnovers. More usage thus far.

Hyland got some decent minutes last night, Clips likely need to balance the two.

And it was 1 am

No, but the TOs were high in that crazy first game. He's got 18/9 ast/to in his 2 games.

And that's on him and bron.

Russ is russ. When the ball is always in your hand then there is a good possibility your turnovers will be at 3-5

Plus, it's still the honeymoon period with Russ. Give him time...his Lakers' career started with 4 straight double-doubles in games 2-5 including a triple double.

He makes careless passes....we saw it first hand.

 

[trojanfan12]

Clippers using him correctly so far but they still need to figure out the end of game rotation.

And that's the problem, even with the Lakers, he was generally fine in quarters 1-3. But in the 4th quarter, he cost them games because he has a low basketball IQ.

7 is about double 3-5. He also fouled out, or he could've added a few more.

His +/- was -12 last night.
