Fan tells Russell Westbrook that he sucks, Westbrook says to ‘say that to my face,’ fan says that to his face
Andrew D. Bernstein
The Los Angeles Lakers are 0-2. This means that they’ve played two games and lost two games. That’s ... not good.
Somehow everything surrounding the games is even worse.
The team has negative 3-point shooting, Anthony Davis is already banged up and Russell Westbrook has a better chance of having a fan yell at him than making a bucket.
It seems like fans have ganged up on Russell Westbrook as if the team isn’t giving meaningful minutes to a 2K create-a-player like Matt Ryan No. 2. This isn’t a defense of Westbrook as he’s been putrid in his time so far. Still, the Lakers are certainly not putting him in a good situation.
It’s never a good sign when you’re told that “you f***ing suck” by your own fan after 96 minutes of game time, but hey, at least there’s nowhere to go but up. Hopefully.
