Yahoo Sports NBA Twitter reacts to Clippers beating Lakers: ‘The Lakers might never win again’
The Los Angeles Lakers suffered their second season loss (0-2) against the Los Angeles Clippers 103-97, and Lakers fans have already seen enough from their team.
Russell Westbrook had a poor night, finishing with two points (0-11 FG), and as expected, he was the main focal point of Twitter reactions.
Russ tonight:
— 0-11 FG
— 0-6 3P

Reggie Miller just chastised Laker fans for "gasping" as Westbrook tried a corner three. Reggie: "I don't know how he can function in an environment like this." Reggie, he CREATED this environment.

Russell Westbrook missed all 11 of his field goal attempts tonight, the fourth time he's failed to make a field goal in his career and first since going 0-for-3 in 2016 against Dallas (was ejected in the second quarter). pic.twitter.com/TeF8n9coXS

Everyone but Russell Westbrook realizes why he's being left open for jumpers. Sad to watch.

Give Russ credit, he’s battling his ass off on defense, but he’s just totally and irrevocably broken on offense.

This team and system is NOT for Russ ! Get him out of there right now … 0-11 ? That’s terrible … & When has Russ only took 11 shots ? 🤦🏾♂️ Yea naw this ain’t it !
— Famouslos32 (@famouslos32) October 21, 2022
17 seconds left on the shot clock when Russ launches this brick. No urgency getting into a set. Not even a pick-and-roll with AD. Terrible offense. https://t.co/ca2O5hgZIa pic.twitter.com/my0Uytw0xN

Man, this Lakers crowd is not with Russell Westbrook. He took two straight triples and you could hear the crowd saying "noooo"

Anyone surprised Lakers dropped first 2 games?

Woj said this week not to expect a Lakers trade involving Russell Westbrook until after Thanksgiving.
Here is their schedule until then with 16 total games.
What do you think LA’s record will be at that point? pic.twitter.com/JzHb8H4cKO

The lakers trade Russel Westbrook and automatically become a great team with all due respect it’s as simple as that.

Its peak Russ to have a genuinely elite defensive game while simultaneously having his worst offensive game of his career.

I feel bad for Russ.
— Big Cat (@BarstoolBigCat) October 21, 2022
If Russ hasn’t figured out after 15 years that a walk up, pull up, above the break three is a really, really bad shot for him, then I really don’t know what to say.
