Commentary: Lakers' latest loss another frustrating low point for team
Russell Westbrook hasn’t been happy much of late while playing inconsistently. Yet if he ever gets happy, will that make the Lakers a better team?
Vogel said he still believed in Westbrook as a closing member in the Lakers’ most important lineups, but there’s room to choose otherwise whether it’s the right thing to do. “I shouldn’t have to hit any benchmark, to be honest. I’ve put in a lot of work and I’ve got a lot of respect in this game. I don’t got to hit a benchmark or I shouldn’t have to,” he said. “I’ve earned a right to be in closing lineups. Numbers will tell you, I don’t have to explain that. But like I said, once again that ain’t my decision. That’s his decision that he and the staff think is best for the game.
It would be a cruel ending to Westbrook’s time with the Lakers, the guard getting booed in the team’s last two home games. Tuesday, he smiled when he was asked about that and said that he viewed it as a “sign of respect.”
