Y’all have got to be kidding me using LeBron as the scapegoat

Ok he's shooting 16%
Lebron is shooting historically bad from 3. If AD did anything historically bad from the zone he's expected to score from he would be crucified.
DLO is a 5th option this series btw. He has 27 FG attempts, Rui, Bron AD, Reeves all have more FGA this series. What option is Lebron in our offense? you're comparing the performance of a 4/5th option to Lebron? Once again I know you're looking for a scapegoat, thats' what yall do best. It's not gonna work with laker fans. I will repeat and reiterate us losing this series is on Lebron.
Once again. How are you comparing a bad series of a 4th 5th option on our team to Lebron?
Game one Lebron James 3pt made 0-4
Game two Lebron James 3pt made 0-6
D-Lo was the 3rd option in the regular season (2nd when LeBron was out) and has attempted more shots in the playoffs than Reaves or Rui. He's just been so horrible this series that his minutes/shots have limited.
1. AD is the best player on the team.Can you at least explain to me why Lebron is shooting 16% from the three point line? Also explain to me why you're holding a 5th option to the same standard as Lebron James
If Lebron the supposed best player shoots what he normally averages from Three game one is a tie, game 2 is a win and game 3 is still a loss. These points aren't being addressed. You're just using Dlo as a strawman.
B-b-b but what about DLO.
It's always the same with you dudes
DLO is having a bad series, Lebron's shytty shooting stems back to the the Grizzlies series as well. A roleplayer having a one bad series is not the equivalent to the supposed best player on the team
since Dlo and lebron should be held to the same standard Lebron is more responsible for our struggles as a team. @Rhakim
2. The Lakers won two series with LeBron shooting like sh*t so obviously it's possible for them to be successful under those circumstances.
3. Blaming one player for a team loss is dumb. Everybody needs to play better.
4. Lebron has shot the 3 poorly, he's been good just about everywhere else including on defense. D'Angelo is shooting like sh*t, committing dumb turnovers and getting ran through on the defensive side of the ball. He's hurting the team more than any other player on the roster at this point.

What would need to happen for LeBron to share a portion of the blame for the Lakers struggles?
I don't think anybody is arguing otherwise.
Does the Bron Era end tonight? 
Between trying to expose Sccit in TLR and defending Bron, Rhakim has been on a 3 day bender on this forum. Literally posting all day and all night fighting the good fight over the weekend now spilling into today
Because he's hurt, old, and being forced to play 40 minutes/game cause his teammates suck without him?
But like I pointed out, the difference between him shooting 16% and him shooting 32% is literally THREE SHOTS. So it also just be random variance. There's been several hundred posts over the last three days, including entire threads, focused on a stat that's 3 shots away from being fine.
Also explain to me why you're holding a 5th option to the same standard as Lebron James
No one is holding D-Lo to the same standard as LeBron. He was bad in most games even before this series started, and it was mostly ignored because the other players took up the slack. But he has been HISTORICALLY bad in this series.
Are you suggesting that the third option can never be the reason you lose the series?
How can you claim it hasn't been addressed when I pointed that out before you did?
Bron has been significantly better than D-Lo in every series, dumbass. If you think D-Lo has only had one bad series, what the fukk were you watching?
At times I can't even imagine how y'all enjoy basketball, as little as you're able to understand what's going on.
This is literally 2011 all over again all the way down to the delusion
It’s interesting how a lot of us more experienced Laker fans are dealing with this. Not on no stan war shyt but y’all Bron Supporters should take heed from us. We saw Kobe go out rough after thinking he’d always be great.
Hell, this loss isn’t even as bad because at least it’s a lowly 7th seed vs the best team in the conference. Kobe had the weight of a threepeat and legit Jordan convo on his shoulders with a bum knee. Shiiit, he prolly woulda been aight with with a bum foot instead.

Pretty much. It was a good run.

"Trying to"? I barely even had to post to expose Sccit. I didn't start either thread and only made about 9-10 comments total in those two threads combined. The rest of the drama was just everyone else reacting to the receipts.
Not surprising to see you coming to his defense yet again for that bullshyt, just like he can't stop pulling up for that anti-black pedophile rapist @Swagnicent. The three of you make a great team.

If Bron wasnt historically bad from 3 the Lakers would be up 2-1 right now.
If DLO wasnt the 13th best player on the floor the Lakers are up 2-1 right now.
Everybody happy now? Now lets move on.
We just witnessed Kevin Durant shoot 22% from 3 vs the Nuggets as well. Bron's lack of 3 point shooting is surprising not shocking. DLO being a complete non factor after dealing with tougher defenses in GS and Memphis is though.
Still not enough from a lot of guys this series.

Look who you're dealing with - do you expect anything less?
Like I pointed out, Bron is literally 1 shot a game away from averaging 27-9-10 on 54/32/73 splits with elite defense. That's how fickle they are. If 3 out of 54 shots is enough to change the entire narrative from "Bron is playing like a GOAT at age 38 and has led the Lakers to a 2-1 lead!" to "Bron is the WOAT and needs to retire, he's the only reason they're losing!", then it's probably a really stupid narrative.
This is why I don’t understand the whole “well if DLO did this or if Ham did that….” arguments. We’re losing to a better team in every facet. I saw it with my own eyes in 2011, there’s no shame in that. It only sucks because this was our only real opportunity to win. We saw what happened after 2011, we saw the window was closing. The only upside right now is that we have Reaves, Rui, hopefully Christie can show something and the 17th pick moving forward. But the guys who have been here since the start like you said don’t have the grand delusions of what this team can or could have done.It’s interesting how a lot of us more experienced Laker fans are dealing with this.

Imagine if these guys found out that 97/98 Jordan was even worse from 3pt range than Bron is right now. Not the sort of thing you expect them to remember through their rose-colored glasses.
MJ was 5-42 from three-point through the first three rounds in 1997.....and that was on the short line.
If you believe that, why'd you spend the entire last page co-signing a guy who said that LeBron was the sole reason the Lakers were losing "and no one else"?
I don't think anybody is arguing otherwise.
Posters are just repeating the same fukking lines over and over again and demanding that I affirm something I already said, days before they did. It's like some sort of religious ceremony, I'm pretty sure by tomorrow they're going to start handing out lashes so every Bron fan can whip their backs in penance.
