Shalom LeBron: Official Warriors vs. Lakers On Christmas Day Game Thread

[Flywin Lannister]

Like I said when LeBron announced he was coming out West:

2018-2019: Playoffs
2019-2020: WCF (at least)
2020-2021: Lakers NBA Champions

Doesn't sound so insane right now... Without LeBron in the 4th Quarter, the Lakers got back their 15-point lead that the Warriors got down back to 2 after LeBron left the game.. with Curry, KD, Klay and Green playing.

Rondo's a monster, Zubac is a monster (breh is 21...) AND we got Zo, Hart, Kuz and Ingram. And KCP.

Merry Christmas y'all!!

crazy how he just gets to hide out on this team and avoid criticism when he's playing shytty.

and has his once in a blue moon good game and gets put over guys that are relied on every night

And that’s why he’s never leaving lol

Lavar was right

He usually is.

Klay and Dray need to find their shots again (which I have confidence they will) and Boogie will be a game changer for their defense. The troubling part to me is their lack of energy and chemistry this season when Curry's off the floor. They'll need to make some personnel moves to change that IMO

Its not lack of chemistry. Them nikkas just trash. KD and Curry are averaging 30pts a piece. Thats 60 points for 2 players. Dray is regressing every season. Klay is inconsistent as ever. The bench cant hit shyt.

We still winning the ship though

A few thoughts

Of course Rondo played great tonight but he always shows off for nat'l tv games...he has to play well (esp defensively) in reg games.

Hate Luke's rotations. He played Rondo for 16 straight mins. That will lose us a game or multiple games bc he always does that. Give Lonzo fourth quarter run. Lonzo made life hard for Curry tonight & his reward is warming the bench.

Start Zubac when Javale returns. Javale is better as an energy guy anyway.

Start Hart w/ LBJ out. We will be the fastest team in the league w/ Lonzo, Hart, BI & Kuz.

Kill yaself

No.

If you think this ruthless Lakers FO wouldn't trade Lonzo you are mistaken. To be fair, it is only Lonzo's second year so he still has time to develop but LeGM is not very patient.

Warriors fans got froggy as hell when Bron went out where's that same energy

FOH, never have celebrated when an opposing player got hurt. Yet whenever a warriors player gets hurt people on here celebrating like all their Christmas's came at once. Say one thing about bron getting hurt and everyone is like "can't say that about our king"

Zu and Rondo did the heavy lifting tho

That's what I'm saying...I mean the young guys had a few points here and there but nothing that make them untouchable in a trade.

This was rather "Woodshed-ish"

Only problem for the Lakers.....this really didn't get any confidence for BI or Zo.

Gonna need those guys to play much better against the Warriors in the playoffs. However, they need experience and didn't get as much imo.


To be fair they played great defense today. Just saying it would have been nice to see them get more work on offense. Especially without LeBron.

Lonzo did great on Curry, and Ingram’s length is important for our defense as well. Both are tall, lanky, and athletic defenders. Warriors couldn’t get their offensive rhythm because of the Lakers length. This is why teams like the Bucks bother them as well.
