Good win by the Lakers. They did what they were supposed to do...Lebron/AD showed up, especially in the 4th quarter....Reaves was fantastic filling in for Walker.......Russ shot the ball poorly but he hit 2 huge buzzer-beaters that gave LA some breathing room...Nice contribution from Bryant off the bench.......If the Lakers had a decent shooter instead of Beverley they'd have 3-4 more wins easily.

Another double double animal style with 3 blocks on the side for AD
Before the holidays. Cold world.
Every year since like 2015 people @CantStop and can't help themselves from making "Ledecline" threads. I've heard how the man is washed more times than I can count.
Yeah he's not the same player he was in his prime but he isn't dropping off a cliff like Kobe. His injuries have been nagging, not catastrophic, and as a result he's coming to a slow drop-off.
There may be a dramatic decline like his haters have been dreaming about. But its in the future, it hasn't come yet.
This. The drop off is that he's not Wolverine anymore and can't twist an ankle then put up 40 like once could. Now it's starting make him mortal. But a relatively healthy Bron can give you 30/8/8 on great efficiency still
LeBron going in on the media...

"why haven't yall asked me about jerry" -lebrahammad ali rumble young man rumble!!!!!!
Why are his numbers down? Why has the coach reduced his role over the past 3 years? You can’t provide any facts to refute anything that I said as false
He’s never shot more than 3.6 3PA because he’s not a high volume shooter that’s a fact
He’s not a post scoring deterrent and he gets absolutely bodied down low that’s a fact
He can’t defend the perimeter because he doesn’t have the foot speed that’s a fact
10rpg means nothing as he was their only big that season getting steady minutes he was able to clean up he’d never average 10 rpg next to AD just like his rebounds plummeted when Capela came .. his career rebounding percentage is 15% which is mediocre at best that same number is what AD has been posting the past few years in LA and people complain about him not hitting the boards hard enough ..elite rebounders like Drummond average somewhere in the mid 20% range.. his 12.4 rebound percentage this season is lower than Kyle Kuzma and I’ve never heard anyone claim Kuzma as some sort of rebounding wizard
He’s just another one of these empty stats guys that mesmerizes casuals because of a few highlight dunks a year and some empty calorie scoring ..but it’s no coincidence that the more his role became reduced in Atlanta the better the team became ..he’d be another nikka Rob wasted a 1st on that would clog up the paint and have y’all begging to ship out in another year tbh
Trade him for Gary Harris. Bev expires while harris has an extra year. Harris is an upgrade on both ends
