Gary Payton: Westbrook thinks too much on the court 04 The Lakers are much stronger than the Lakers this season

Live Bar January 6, 2019 At the recent guest of The Draymond Green Show, Gary Payton talked about the Lakers this season.

Speaking about whether this Lakers and the Lakers in the 03-04 season have similarities, Payton said: "I don't think it's like at all, the 04 Lakers everyone knows their role, and seeing the Lakers this season, I don't think the way Westbrook is playing now is what he should play." Westbrook has always had his own way of playing, and now he has to team up with James and Thick Brow and have to give them the ball. Westbrook was very dominant when he held the ball, but now he no longer plays the way he used to. I think he thinks too much on the pitch. ”

Speaking about the Lakers' style of play this season, Payton said they were a bit too dependent on James.

"They're so dependent on James and the team relies on him to create opportunities. They're not like your way of playing (here it's talking about chasing dreams), there's a lot of empty cuts, a lot of running, and for this Lakers, the other players stand and watch the ball for too long. But I don't think this Lakers is like our team back then, many players in that team are at their peak, and now the Lakers have been full of injuries, very struggling, such a team wants to grind the composite is very difficult. ”
