Lakers vs Clippers: Playoff Implications: NBA TV 9:30 EST: Brandon Ingram Out Tonight

[Mars]

People keep pointing out the win/Lose record without Lebron/Ball without factoring in the SOS and the loss of Zubac.... Also, Hart,Lance,and Muscala have all been in and out of the lineup over the last 12 games(No bench depth)

The Lakers are a flawed team that needed all of their pieces to be successful. Lebron and Ball were both huge losses. I said it when Ball got hurt, LA would sorely miss his defense. Comparing the win percentages of Lebron vs Ball is useless without including the other factors(No Zubac.Lebron being rusty/not in condition, Tougher schedule)...The two worst LA losses were the home losses to NY/Chi.

Never thought he was more than a backup big at best in the league.

If he ever has a big night though @smitty22 is getting 5-10 mentions while shytting on that scrub Jared Sullinger. :smugbeilein:

Im sure he’ll have a big night playing for the San Diego Mud Pens next year :confirmedscUMgay:.

The reality is that Bron's injury was the turning point of the season everybody's ignoring that I mean the Lakers were 4th in the west during Christmas, like do any of you really believe if Bron didn't get injured they'd still be in 10th place right now regardless?

Hell no that's the funny thing about Laker/LeBron haters they seem to ignore the obvious and point out nonsense as the downfall of the season, even with the trade talks if LeBron never got hurt the Lakers would be in playoff picture probably around 4th/5th (6th at worse) place right now.

As far as Beverly's comments, yeah he's right the Clippers are the better team in LA THIS SEASON but historically as a franchise... Hell no don't get besides yourself Patrick win some championships first.

More like the past 8 years but okay

I been telling you bummy ass Laker fans that this would be the result since July. I’m one of the only people that was totally unfazed by Lebron going to LA cause I [understandably] knew that decision was based on his kids going to school in LA, and all the off court things he wanted to do. It was only confirmed when he said he wanted to join a team with “cerebral players that could diagnose a play before it happens” (clearly that would’ve been Chris Paul and James Harden) and turned around and signed with LA and brought in Javale McGee, Lance Stephenson, Michael Beasley, re-signed KCP, and Rondo (the only cerebral player in this case but still a hothead and previously a quitter). Those guys were signed because they had name value of the Lakers have been desperate for name value and stars since Dwight didn’t re-sign and Kobe retired. This fanbase deserves Lebron using them as a personal urinal.

Nick Wright going to have a melt down he can’t huge Lebrons nuts now that his playoff chances are non Existent

Yeah Lebron has a an injury that hurt the lakers but the pacers have lost their best player for the season and still competing at a high level. Matter of fact that same pacers teams without their best player beat up on Lebron and lakers to a historical defeat. Y’all can’t keep using that injury as an excuse in this context when they keep losing to the worst teams in the league

2 games separated the 4th and 10th seeds at the time. It's a tired talking point, especially when the AD stuff didnt happen yet, and the vets regressed. Lebron came back when they were still above .500. Theyve been 4-8 since losing to the suns, hawks, grizzlies, and pelicans

thats the thing none of these talking heads will say they were 2 games out of like 10th place, just like they were 2 games out of the playoffs when he came back.

 

[THE 101]

Bingo!

A coli poster with brains.

I’m not worried about the haters enjoying their 1 minute thirst hate on Lebron.

I know the NBA is about to have one of the best summers in a while and the LOS ANGELES LAKERS will feast



Like I said 1 ring with the 4 year contract and I’m sticking to it.

I’m a prideful n*gga.

What the fukk is wrong with you LeBron stans?

What the fukk is wrong with you LeBron stans?

These dumbasses think they’re gonna win a ring in Lebron’s declining state where he’s focused on movies and family life while it’s highly plausible they don’t even get any impactful FAs. Idiots are gonna learn the hard why when all the premier guys either re-sign with their current teams or go somewhere else, and the Lakers get stuck maxing Goran Dragic and Enes Kanter, and giving KCP even more money. Lebron’s ebtire contract will be a waste.
