    Not sure why so many complaints about the isos.

    That third quarter was almost all exclusively Lebron post ups. The game turned on him either off the Dirk fadeaway or passes to Matthews off the double in the post. His decision making was poor and he blew a bunny when his legs were gone but he didn't have legs because the Lakers needed him be early Cleveland Lebron. He had a really terrific game IMO before the last 2 minutes

    Not really a complaint. He's the best player in the world so I would never question the intent of what he is doing. I just don't like when he plays ISO with that many players who can also contribute offensively. You can't ask for more playmakers on the team and then run ISO for three straight plays.

    I believe you answered your own question. Too many isos and bad decisions at the end when he didn’t have the legs. As mentioned I was not a fan of dribbling the clock down and then launching a logo three when we were only up by one and another possession available to the Bulls. No need for that.

    I guess my point is that there was actually very few typical LeIso possessions. I agree when we ran them it was ugly but it was more tired legs not quantity or over-reliance per se (of course, maybe the Lakers go to that too much at the end of the games but that is a criticism across the NBA right now. Only the Warriors dynasty seemed to not fall into that trap)

    RIDICULOUS DIME

    Terrible 3 point shooting night for him. But he played with playoff energy. Rest of him game was strong, especially in the 2nd Q.

    Ridiculous pass perfect timing from immediate launch left handed right on the money. The guy does amazing things on the court.

    These passes, man, I think one is even missing, also to KCP for another layup unless I’m remembering wrong, even better than the 2nd one here

    I'm not seeing anything different so I usually don't trust these stats. It could be manipulated since LeBron usually sags off and focuses on defending lesser players but apparently LeBron is #1 in terms of the person he is defending having the lowest FG% when LeBron is guarding them. Next up is Drummond, AD, Wiggins, and Levert. Wiggins and Levert aren't very good defenders so this stat is very misleading but it would be insane if voters decide to give LeBron DPOY if he ends up #1 in this statistic by the end of the season. I already have LeBron as my MVP right now but Curry is a close 2nd. Would be amazing if LeBron could win DPOY, MVP, and Finals MVP this season. Would 100% put him as GOAT for me.

    That was cold!



    Came out shooting much better than the last game, which is why he had the confidence to pull off the face-the- bench-3.

    Looks like we have Schoder to thank for the pose

    That chemistry he has with all his teammates is why LeBron is the best player! Schroder is new on the team and it looks like he's been on the team for years.

    He's the MVP right now... Lakers 2021 NBA Champions, 2021 NBA MVP LeBron James, 2021 DPOY Anthony Davis, 2021 COTY Frank Vogel... Lakers will rule the league once again.
