The Lakers have a flawed roster. They also have had too many injuries. But none of those factors excuse Russell Westbrook’s awful season with the Lakers. My dispatch on why Westbrook’s shortcomings fall more on him https://t.co/GTyzp4ZTYH pic.twitter.com/PZ5yh408Et – 11:36 AM

‘We’ve discussed everything. ‘ – 1:10 AM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers

Quick @LockedOnLakers reaction video to the 132-111 loss to the Clippers. To put it kindly, the wheels fell off during the third quarter. And Reggie Jackson absolutely tortured the Lakers and Westbrook. @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods pic.twitter.com/MChE1TVrSh – 1:08 AM

Russell Westbrook on what he thinks about the Lakers getting swept by the Clippers in the regular season: “Nothing.” – 12:51 AM Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers

Reggie Jackson hitting a three after a dustup with Westbrook — then Westbrook trying to answer with a three that clangs off the rim, hits the top of the backboard, then goes in, but doesn’t count — is a perfect summary of this game. AK – 12:27 AM Eric Nehm @eric_nehm

Why is Russell Westbrook mad?

He just tried to trip Reggie Jackson after getting crossed up. – 12:21 AM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU

Reggie Jackson on triple-double alert and he is talking to Russell Westbrook. – 12:21 AM Sopan Deb @SopanDeb

the lakers have a ball dominant star with questionable defense and a big contract they’ll have to think about trading.

and they have to think about what to do with russell westbrook – 11:55 PM J. Michael Falgoust @ThisIsJMichael

Westbrook’s finishing at the rim didn’t just suddenly become bad. It always has been bad. But if all you saw was highlights of him dunking on rim attacks, you end up w/a warped perception. He just missed basically an uncontested layup…yet again 🤦🏾‍♂️#LakersClippers – 11:54 PM Jovan Buha @jovanbuha

Halftime: Clippers 66, Lakers 63

The Lakers closed the final 4:10 of the 2nd quarter on a 14-0 run to turn this from a blowout into a game. LeBron James has 18 points. Malik Monk and Russell Westbrook each have 12. The Lakers need to get something from their bench in 2nd half. – 11:17 PM Brad Turner @BA_Turner

Lakers, once down 17 in second, trail Clippers 66-63 at halftime. LeBron James has 18 points, Malik Monk and Russell Westbrook both have 12. – 11:15 PM Kyle Goon @kylegoon

Reaves-to-Russ alley-oop. Not the best defensive game for Westbrook, but he’s given some of the best highlights of the evening on the offensive end. – 11:12 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter

Clippers are now 9 for 12 from 3 after B2B makes from Luke Kennard, who’s been especially hot against LAL all season.

LAL trail 66-54 after a Monk 3, and Westbrook and-1 layup (missed FT) countered. – 11:09 PM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina

Russell Westbrook flexing on Ivica Zubac after drawing a foul and finishing. Not quite Russ’ reaction after he posterized Rudy Gobert, but a lot of Westbrook emotion afterwards. – 11:09 PM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina

Chuck the Condor was trying to annoy LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Dwight Howard before tipoff. They all ignored him. – 10:16 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
