When Lebron and AD don't run back on defense, the other guys don't as well
When Lebron and AD is whining to the refs constantly, the other guys are as well.

Yup.

Trash ass roster . Where is the pride ? If we had a real nikka on this roster who called shots how they’re supposed to Pelinka’s bytch ass would be on the phones right now with other GMs .

 

[Guile]

AD got outplayed.

 

[McPiff]

he stay doing that shyt. nothing new. gotta live with it.

This and the good ol fake injury when he gets clamped are old staples in the bron's playbook

 

[In The Zone '98]

Can we talk about how Lebron is really hurting the team on defense? I get he is old but there was numerous times where he did not run back on defense after not getting a foul call at the other end. Bro spends more time complaining at the refs than actually running back on defense.

The whole team does it but Lebron does it the most and it's annoying.

Bron hasn't played defense since the chip

Can't expect a 40 yr old to be elite on offense and defense for 75 gms....Lebron plays defense when it really matters (The playoffs).......The issue isn't Lebron/AD...it's the rest of the roster.

It's not about being elite. It's about showing effort. Don't expect lockdown/all defensive team Bron, but at least try.

Talking about what? What team is trading for Russell? Rui? Reaves, Knecht are probably untouchable. Everyone else isn't someone that can get a difference maker for this team.

Team isn’t a contender who wil get a guaranteed playoff spot lol

So yes defense in the regular season matters. Especially with how poor they are this season. Luka doesn’t even get a pass for lack of effort & he’s coming off an actual finals

Except he's getting paid 50 million so you can't do much with the rest of the roster. So pretty much they'll be a play-in squad again

Bron being 40 is not a plus. His peers recover faster . Yes this roster is deficient and needs to be constructed to highlight brons weaknesses .

Absolutely. Who are you trading Gabe Vincent, Jared Vanderbilt, and DLo, etc. for that's getting you something to help Bron? Team has boxed themselves into a corner with this roster construction.

"But Bron is 40. We need someone that can play elite perimeter D, shoot the 3 and playmake a bit to get the Kang a breather. Our trash should be more then enough to get that kinda player"

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Honestly just box score watching

Why does Towns seem to have success vs Jokic

Dennis giving Wardell and the Warriors problems so far.
