    Yes, whats up with stupid long 3s and bricks at the line? honestly.

    He is getting paid to help us close these games. Last few years we always said well we are right there, we need a star to close games.

    LeBron's epic choke job has cost us already. He really needs to look in the mirror and be ashamed of himself. Every game the Lakers do EVERYTHING humanly possible to lose.

    Most of the times they have. The last few games they were just lucky.

    Nearly costed us another game like the Spurs game when they played us at Staples with the missed free throws.

    I'm glad he's owning it. But be better ASAP

    LOL @ like anything you continue to say on this topic. I'm sorry but your Luke/Bron hate is ridiculously Puke Out Loud worthy...my goodness, there goes mom's spaghetti....and I loved that sweater too.

    I'm happy he owned up to it too, but talk is cheap Bron. I know it's charity, but handle your business bruh.

    Since Bron owned to "FT garbage", how about owning to "flat-footed 3 point shot misses garbage", "no defense garbage" and "lousy ISO, while not being able to beat 41 year old Carter garbage".

    It amazes me how anyone can watch a game like yesterday and come up with excuses for Bron.

    But, you do you. That's OK. I'll wait. We'll resume this discussion next year. And I have a very long memory.

    That clutch free throw chart is frightfully bad. All I heard this summer was Lebron was over his choking. That obviously isn’t true.

    Overall, LeBron is still a very good and effective player. I'm glad we have him. But I think it's time people stopped referring to him as "The best player on the planet." He's not.

    ..too many launches from deep. Did not move the ball around in the fourth causing the offense to stagnate. One possession he did it twice. At least drew the foul for a trip for two at the stripe.

    Man oh man....Lakers fans truly are worst.

    You guys are complaining about a guy that's averaging 27-7-7 on 50% fg.

    LOL.

    He does need to be better on defense, he does need to hit his FT's...and he does need to be more engaged.

    But for GOD SAKES, can we stop blaming LeBron for anything bad that happens? This is why other team's fans hate us so much!

    We were LUCKY to get LeBron over the summer after Paul George DISSED us and didn't even give us a MEETING...it was about to 5 years in a row of WHIFFS ala Jim Buss / Kupchak era. And then LeBron came to us anyways amid reports that he would only consider us if we got another star first.

    We are 7-6 right now even with this "poor" play from LeBron (whatever the hell that means). He's owning that he sucks at FT line...it's super early and we have a super imbalanced roster with guys that don't exactly fit yet here we are...blaming LeBron...13 games in....

    Let's wait until 40 games when we're clearly in the playoff picture...somewhere we haven't been in a very long time. Spoiled AF

    Bron will be fine. I am not worried about him at all. No, he is not going to start playing better D before playoffs (and even that is questionable at this point in his career), and yes, he needs to hit his free throws in the clutch; but he knows all that. When the time comes, we will all be very happy that we have him. He will help us win some big games.

    I am a little worried about our coaching situation, the rotation, some redundancy on the team and FT shooting in general. But most of those things will get better later in the season. Bron should be the least of our worries.

    ...Lantz commented "move and James will find you.' Kuzma did and does. Did have some interior passes deflected last night. Had his three ball going early on too.

    Pretty simple with Lebron. He is playing himself into game shape. Working is great but game shape takes time. Older bigger muscles take time. You only get in real game shape by playing full court competitive ball. All his issues speak to tired legs. Bad free throws, lack of explosion, settling. He will be back but what we have now isn't too bad. I still haven't got used to seeing him in that uniform though.

    yeah guys i understand lebron at times has been unimpressive (like struggling 1 on 1 against VC and missing clutch FT's) but let's not get ahead of ourselves and complain about it. he's not having some career worst year like a lot of you are making it seem like

    i mean we could always still be rolling out a starting 5 consisting of robert sacre, jordan hill, wes johnson, and jeremy lin
