Marquese Chriss (illness, non-Covid), Tim Hardaway Jr. (left foot surgery) and Maxi Kleber (right ankle soreness) will all miss tonight’s game against the Trail Blazers. – 5:18 PM Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
LeBron missed 1/3 of the season.
AD missed 1/2 of the season.
Westbrook only missed 1 game until LA was eliminated.
That game: LeBron & AD both played and lost to the tanking Blazers.
Russ put up 18.5/7.4/7.1 on the season.
Yet Westbrook is getting all the blame. Come on. – 5:16 PM Jamie Hudson @JamieHudson_
