It must be feeling sad for Hornets as they are going to be deprived of Kelly Jr. Oubre in this game against Lakers. His last performance was just insanely good. They demolished Pacers by scoring 158 points which was really absurd I mean. And Oubre was really impressive by 39 points. But they still have LaMelo Ball. He is a talented player and quite capable also. If Lakers also are deprived of their stars, then Hornets can win another game. They are doing really good by fighting for the playoffs and they are safe for now.
It came down to the last shot by Westbrook. He made 2x 3’s and 2x layups before taking that last shot for the win. A shame it didn’t go down. Westbrook had the most points by a Laker in a half at Staples Center (Crypto.com Arena) since Kobe Bryant in his final game. Pretty impressive. Of course Dwight Howard didn’t get any minutes because why would Frank Vogel play his best big man since AD was out… I think the Lakers are just letting Vogel keep his job until the All Star break. It’s obvious he needs to go.
Vogel isn't fit for the current roster its pretty obvious so the problem lies either him or with the roster and base on what we are seeing, I think he is the problem so letting him go is a stepping stone for the team to perform better maybe after the all star break.
I thought that the Hornets will blowout their huge lead and loss after but they are lucky that the last shot of Westbrook didn't went in in the final seconds. Its a 2 point lead only but he chooses to shot a three pointer where he has a low percentage. Maybe shooting a perimeter shot where he averages high would be better and put it into overtime than risking a three. Anyway, I just hope that Vogel give more minutes to Howard. I think Howard is more efficient than Jordan but I still don't know why he isn't letting Howard to play. Hmmmmm.
