They’ll call this a hot take but it’s the truth. He looks sluggish out there. Don’t know how y’all expect this man to lead la. Should’ve just waited for Kawhi
Washed, huh? The problem was Bron and had nothing to do with Lonzo and Hart?
Bron stans: Bron on 6 months rest, he about to run through the league
**game 1 Bron looks exhausted in the 3rd quarter**
Bron stans: That China shyt really messed with brehs stamina
Dude game is ugly, clunky and the Bulldozing is coming to an end. If he had skilled footwork and took the time to develop good back to the basket game the team would be deadly. can you imagine Kawhi and AD on the same squad
y’all been quiet as fukk in this thread. What’s going on?
Lonzo ain't even play. nikka said it was playoff mode then got outplayed by Ingram. How he's playing now doesn't change that.

First time I see this thread, I’m on here daily.
As a Lakers fan, I had to neg you. Also: you made the thread in October.. you casuals
So you're another one of those who just reads Coli narratives and don't even watch the games. I'm not even gonna waste more time with you than a copy-and-paste:Lonzo ain't even play. nikkas said it was okay mode them got outplayed by Ingram. How he's playing now doesn't change that.
For those who don't actually watch games or have any clue what happens in the NBA outside of Coli narratives....
When LeBron came back the Lakers had fallen to 26-26. The Lakers went 3-3 in his first six games when he was clearly playing at 60-70%, he couldn't hustle or explode like normal and was saving himself on defense. If they could finish the season on a run similar to the one they had before he got hurt then they'd make the playoffs and probably would have kept winning until they faced GSW.
But the Lakers had no Lonzo (hurt), Zubac (traded) or Chandler (washed) and were basically playing without any competent guard defense or center defense at all. Hell, most of the time they didn't even have a center on the court.
LeBron 27-7-12 on 11-17 shooting but Randle and Diallo combine for 42 points on 17-25 shooting and every single Pelicans guard goes off on whoever guards them. Lakers lose by 13.
LeBron 24-12-11 on 8-23 shooting but Valanciunus and Noah (fukking Joakim Noah!) combine for 34 points and 25 boards while Conley lights them up for 30. Lakers lose by 5.
LeBron 33-6-10 on 12-23 shooting, Randle and Diallo combine for 42 again (14-28 shooting) but the Pelicans' guards ain't hot and Lakers get their revenge.
LeBron 31-7-10 on 10-19 shooting and completely controls Giannis (just 16 ponits) but Bledsoe/Brogdon combine for 52. Bucks by 11.
LeBron 27-9-16 on 10-21 shooting but Ayton drops 26 and Booker drops 25 while the Laker guards shoot 3-17. Suns by 9.
Now Ingram goes out too.
LeBron 27-8-6 on 9-18 shooting, Lakers play the Clippers starters even but Lou/Montrezl combine for 35 off the bench. Clippers by 7.
Now Kuzma goes out too.
LeBron goes for 31-7-7 in just 31 minutes on 13-22 shooting against Denver....but the rest of the Laker starting lineup is Rondo, Hart, Bullock, and McGee. Denver starters DESTROY them.
LeBron goes for 30-10-12 in just 27 minutes on 13-23 shooting against Boston. Luke tries starting Rondo, KCP, Mo Wagner, and McGee this time. LeBron is +11 in his time on the court but KCP and McGee are somehow -17 in just 16 minutes. Boston by 13.
LeBron puts up 36-10-4 on 15-23 shooting and Lakers beat the Bulls.
LeBron outplays Kawhi (29 points on 12-23 shooting to 25 points on just 8-20 shooting) but Marc Gasol outscores everyone else in the Laker starting lineup and Toronto wins by 13.
Even if they had won all their remaining games they wouldn't make the playoffs, Luke sits LeBron, without him Lakers lose to Detroit by 14 to drop to 31-38 with Lonzo and BI both still out, and they give up on the season.
LeBron was BALLING OUT even though he was coming off that groin injury and still didn't have full confidence in his explosion at all and couldn't give 100% effort on defense. But the Lakers had no center other than McGee (who is a bad liability against half the centers in the league), all three of the "young stars" got hurt, and their guard play sucked ass.
But yeah, it was "the tough West" that made LeBron lose games.
FWIW Ingram averaged 28-7-3 and LeBron averaged 28-10-11 for the six games between LJB's comment and B.I.'s injury. And they still went just 2-4 in those games. LBJ and B.I. both played well, it was the coaches and the rest of the roster (or lack thereof) that let them down. Claiming that B.I. outplayed even an injured LeBron is a BIG stretch, but even if you make that claim it's a stupid comment because LeBron was playing well, the team was just playing without any point guard or center or shooting and it showed.
