This is their first loss since his return they’re like 5-1 so obviously his low scoring output hasn’t been the core issue. Im not sure what point you’re trying to get at.

But beyond that it is pretty clear that he’s not in basketball shape yet. Watch the games brother he’s raising his hand willingly asking to be subbed out every quarter I never seen him do no shyt like that in his whole career.

He’s 41 coming off sciatica and like 6 months without basketball and you want him to spring off the blocks scoring 30+ ppints anytime Reaves or Luka have an off night. :dead:

It’s like I always said this nikkas haters are secretly his biggest fans because the standards you hold him to you must really think he’s the GOAT :manny:

Lebron stans can't comprehend why we expect someone who makes 50M a year to play like someone who makes 50M a year

bu bu bu but...

you realize this would be a non issue if his salary matched his production. he's not even looking at the basket. his defense is non existent. he's giggling with opponents down 20. but I forgot you need to be in basketball shape to not do that too right? the reason we've been winning is because the team has been on the same wave competitively. now we got some dude who doesn't do shyt who comes in games and acts like a school girl with opponents down 20. im sure that went well with his teammates.

the disdain for players has always been lack of production relative to salary. why do Lebron fans want the rules to change for them when they've been the ones who subscribed to that rule the most?

The Lebron haters had to wait a LONNNG time for a bad game from the team, so we gotta let em have this one. 7 game win streak and the same posters come running out lol

Luka needs to involve the team more. Rui said as much at the end of the game. It’s 1 game, but this was always the pattern to beat the Lakers.

Athletic defenders who disrupt Luka and Reaves, and run in transition.

Luka and Reaves gotta solve that. And that coaching staff has to put a plan together to get LeBron involved more

This is false considering that Lebron was 2nd team All NBA last year and 6th in MVP voting in a 3 seed and you were saying the same thing lol

lmao @ this shameless posturing from you Kobe Stan’s. nikkas was tossing and turning in their sleep for weeks waiting for that first L with Bron on the team :laff:

I got everything bookmarked for a few months from now :mjgrin:

I was saying the same thing. Now go look at when I was saying that.

I'll give you a hint:

It happened in a 4th quarter where someone went scoreless while Anthony Edwards was giving us the belt.

btw the irony of Lebron turning into DLo isn't lost on me.

Their fav became the player they've hated for 2 years.

Disengaged, low effort, bad attitude, zero defense and hurts the team with his presence. the only diference is that DLo wasn't making 50M a year.

Lebron scored a 40 point game that series and outplayed both Luka and Austin. Also took over that 4th you’re referring to with 3 blocks and 2 steals down the stretch and was the entire Lakers defense

And yes… you were making the same tired salary argument in the regular season

Your schtick is old man. There’s issues with the team. But they are winning, and one of the best teams in the NBA. I don’t think anyone should overreact after a 7 game win streak. It happens

Rockets just lost to the Jazz

Nuggets just lost to the Mavs

This is beyond shameless. Victory lapping because LeBron played like Al Horford in a 4th quarter while getting outscored by Mike Conley. They're winning because of Luka and Reaves playing like the best duo in the league. That's where it starts and that's where it ends. The fact that you see nothing wrong with Lebron's low effort while giggling is exactly why you guys are deemed to be irrational and delusional. It's funny how you guys are saying to not overreact when YOU were the one criticizing Luka a week into his Laker tenure lmaooo

lol victory lap? Now you’re just typing words that don’t make sense. Literally stated that this team is winning despite the issues and kinks they need to work out.

I’m incredibly happy that they are winning due to the duo of Reave and Luka, they both are All Star level guys. I know that this team isn’t gonna get to where they want without LeBron tho, so working him in is important.. him getting into game shape and finding a way to balance the 3 is key

Embarrassing, this why JJ never gonna be shyt as long as Bron around. Somebody like Riley woulda slapped the toupee off his head

JJ would crash out if that was Jaxson Hayes or Rui.

Easy to be bad cop when it's the role player. JJ is a clown and enables this behavior. I still don't believe he's a great coach. He's just someone who players enjoy playing for which can be a great thing but after a while it falls on deaf ears.

First it was “Lebrons gonna come in and fukk up Reaves and Lukas flow.”

Now it’s “why is LeBron acting like a third option???” :mjlol:

Kobe stans a sick bunch :dead:
Doesn’t matter if Lebron is 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option or a DNP on the bench, Kobe stans will always find a way to blame him after a loss. This is the same demographic that was criticizing him for “not cheering hard enough” as he sat on the bench in street clothes in the season opener. Decades of stan wars has permanently fried their brains :russ::laff:
