    Point is -- he can't recognize these games (or refuses to do so). Man... focus on D instead of wasting energy holding the ball for 15 seconds each possession.

    Hard disagree. It was much more than just an off night. Cmon. 10 (or 9) TOs? Shooting had nothing to do with that.

    It's ok to criticise his awful games. There are not that many, but if you pay attention, most of them are of this variety.

    Well he couldn't take a backseat that much with Austin out and after Luka hurting again

    He had to try to create and the Floppers did a god job on him

    I don't dispute the reasons, just note the outcome.

    Trying to get 50K at the risk of losing the game was the thing I didn't like

    The old man didn't have it last night. Agree with the sentiment that we finally have a team that can handle injuries and our big guns not playing their best games.

    Yeah seriously … what have you done for us the last “quarter” type picky. He’s the effing player of the month for Feb and averaging virtually 29 a game on 55% and 43% from deep plus stepped up defense and always the rebounds and assists.

    Talking heads in the press ALWAYS criticize James for wanting good players as teammates... Hypocrites. Most of them were on or had the same situation or on plain abject losers wishing they did. Like Jordan once said "let's see Magic with Granville Waiters!"

    Lebron having a down game is fine. However he doesn't have to make low reward passes. That's just stubborn decision making. His unforced turnovers got the Clippers in the game if those positions were just basic, the Lakers score here and there at least and they could have ended the game faster.

    JJ maybe needs to just call a timeout and let Lebeon simmer down a little. That's all we are asking, don't risk if you don't have it at least.

    My wife (who likes the Lakers but is still learning the game) tonight: Why does LeBron keep throwing the ball to the other team?

    I actually think what LeBron is doing right now is pretty amazing and think he should legitimately be in the running for MVP.

    Not his best night last night but I'm not down on him at all.

    I don't get it either. Dude has been playing out of his mind for a month straight and one bad game and people want to throw him under the bus.
