All the players can do better, that's a given. But to only focus on lebron seems against the notion of letting the younglings develop.

Lance a better closer than Bron so far.
Decade is irrelevant, what is he doing now? Every game was winnable and he's yet to close one. Lance got 2.Based on what? Two weeks or a decade worth of evidence?

Man, how about Javale McGee! This dude has been everything... I’m pretty nervous about relying on his production so much.

He played 35 minutes last night (!!) and led the team in +/-
We rely on him heavily on offense and defense.

The focus is on Lebron because in multiple one possession games this season he has held the ball for the entire shot clock doing nothing with it which then forces him or whatever Laker he dumps it off to into taking a bad shot. Also seems like he's had at least one bad turnover in at least half the games late too where he dribbles off his foot or just loses the handle. He's got to stop wasting possessions like that. Like I said during the game, I want the ball in his hand but not this shyt where he dribbles out on the perimeter chewing up clock and then taking a bad shot. What he was doing early in the game was perfect. Where he backed down a Mav in the post or forced the Mavs to run a double which was creating openings for good shots. I think in the end it comes down to trust.
Why the fukk is LeBron's closing ability being questioned
Based on what? Two weeks or a decade worth of evidence?
He literally said to make Lonzo the closer.
No way those are Laker fans. They're just Kobestans whose brains have become diseased with hate.
At this point if McGee goes out they'd basically be better off forgetting about wins/losses and just playing practice games for the rest of the season.
Regardless of what it "seems", by NBA stats last night was literally the first time that LeBron had a turnover in clutch time all season. Against 20 points and 6 assists.
He is holding the ball too long and not making the right play some of the time, but that goes to being less than 10 games in with a new team and new coach and the lineups keep changing. It will take time for the team to gel and make good plays together.
edit: clutch stats so far this year (last 5 minutes game within 5), obviously minuscule sample size but that's why the whole argument is dumb
Lebron 7-16 shooting, 5-8 from line, 20 points, 6 assists, 1 turnover
Kuzma 5-7 shooting, 1-2 from line, 11 points, 0 assists, 1 turnover
Hart 2-8 shooting, 4-5 from line, 9 points, 0 assists, 0 turnovers
Lonzo 2-3 shooting, 0-0 from line, 6 points, 2 assists, 0 turnovers
Williams 2-2 shooting, 0-0 from line, 4 points, 0 assists, 0 turnovers
Lance 1-3 shooting, 1-2 from line, 3 points, 2 assists, 0 turnovers
Ingram 0-1 shooting, 1-2 from line 1 point, 0 assists, 1 turnover
worth noting that nearly all of Kuzma's shots were layins/dunks off of passes.
