Russell Westbrook Fires Back at Question About Turnovers

The Los Angeles Lakers lost another game. It was a terrible loss for Frank Vogel’s team and NBA experts took a shot at the franchise. LeBron James was out due to his one-game suspension and Anthony Davis didn’t play his best basketball for obvious reasons. This leaves us with Russell Westbrook and his struggle with turnovers. Truth is, this is the only challenge Broddie has at the moment. This is definitely a weakness.

The same question was brought following the loss to the New York Knicks. Reporters kept asking questions about this, and Westbrook had to fire back.

New story: Russell Westbrook was brilliant in the second half Tuesday as LAL nearly came all the way back from a 25-point hole. The thing is, Westbrook’s play in the first half helped create that deficit to begin with https://t.co/du0t6s2ewY

Broddie didn’t want to answer this question because his team was coming off a terrible loss. The talented player had six turnovers, but he finished the night with another triple-double.

Russell Westbrook to work on his turnovers

Fans like to criticize Westbrook for the failure. Vogel got his share, too. Fans want the front office to fire the head coach.

There’s another side of the story. Westbrook pushed the Lakers into a hole. Well, he was the one who help the team cut the lead.

Many would compare Westbrook to Kobe Bryant. This means he is one of the most competitive players in the NBA. His game is passionate and Westbrook gives his best every time he makes the floor. The Lakers got him for a reason and he is here to prove doubters wrong.

NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal wouldn’t agree with this. He said Westbrook was a role player. Big Shaq wouldn’t say Westbrook is the No.3 player behind LeBron and Anthony Davis.

Davis supports Westbrook’s midgame adjustments. Talented Broddie is incredibly motivated to get his first ring. The Lakers will try to get the best of his motivation. LeBron and Davis have nothing but words of praise for Westbrook and he really plays like a leader. He has his own way of doing things and his explosiveness has helped the Lakers neutralize their opponents. It’s a long season and players have a long way to do. Let’s just wait and see what happens in the next few games.
