    its always gona go back to kobe/james comparison....I'm not a fan of James but can't use peak kobe to justify the hate on an aging Bron. Kobe in his mid 30's wasn't a good teammate IMO, yea he did everything in his power to win, including taking 30+ shots if you gave him the chance.

    Mind you, we were competitive and beat playoff teams multiple times last year, without Lebron. I know Lebron can be that dude, but I believe he is doing too much at the moment. Our team as constructed can carry him so as to preserve him for the playoffs.

    BTW, I’m not a full on hater, lol. I give credit where credit is due and criticism where criticism is due. Do I hate the guy, not at all, not even close. Do I hate his fans, ehh only the radicals. Do I hate Lebronmania. Yes exclusively. Why? Because he gets every excuse in the book. As Laker fans, we criticize our own. That’s what we do, if you guys can’t handle that, than I’m sorry, but you guys being here is not gonna change the pattern we have done for all of our players for years. Lebron is our player now so he is not exempt from criticism.

    These are my thoughts 100%. You also have to get to know me better because for me anyway, I can’t speak for others, but most of my harsh or extreme words towards Lebron (like trade him or why is he here, he’s a bum, etc.) are in jest, but doesn’t mean I blindly remit his faults and mistakes and cover it up with stats and numbers.

    The good sooooo far outweighs any negative its basically pointless to bring it up. Like pointing out an asymmetrical freckle on a naked centerfold. Really?! Seriously what’s the point?

    You actually saw a freckle on a centerfold? I have a hard time getting past the other things!

    I think the new guy is Roobonker. I have zero proof. Just my gut.

    I’ve been known to be wrong before, but wanted to call it first.

    Anyone else think that he was shooting his free throws with more arc in the second half?

    Fantastic game by LeBron.

    This is what I wanted and expected at least a little more of in the first 13 games.
