    Getting offensive weapons this off season was so important and we did exactly that. Our offense last season relied on Lebron so much.

    36 years old, and here are some projections

    passpoints.png

    he's averaging about 23 so far this year, but at a pace of 20 PPG, he's 198 games away from passing Kareem for the All Time scoring Record. If he stays healthy, my favorite player of all time just might pull it off.

    Strong 3rd and an overall good game, but WTF was that shot? That was the definition of a pre season shot.

    I think he ran out of gas. He's old and i'ts a back to back.
    He was amazing in the 3rd but then you could see he started bricking even layups

    Carried the big load and got the W, but yeah, that logo three was not a good decision down the stretch, LOL.

    I wonder if we’ve considered adding the virtual fan board like the Warriors have and like they had in the bubble

    Bron either makes the best, highest IQ play available or the absolute worst - AKA "the random Logo 3".

    Fortunately, it's 95% great plays, whether is scoring or passing, but that makes those horrible decision even more puzzling.

    AD is the one in his prime and 27. Lebron plays like he is still trying to win enough games to make the playoffs. He has changed since he came to LA. I wonder if Kobe or someone over there told him, if you want LA to embrace you, you can't pull that load management horse**** here.

    Very true. Honestly, though I think he was just out of gas at that point, karacha. I mean, has he made those before? Of course. But he had no legs for it at that moment. It was so off. Luckily we still won the game, but it was a head scratching play for sure.

    I would really like if LeBron took playing off-ball more seriously. Him standing around not doing anything when he doesn't have the ball is not helping his teammates. I don't like how Schroder+Kuzma are there and LeBron just holds onto the ball for 18 seconds and then passes it to them expecting a miracle. He's gotta get the ball out sooner than that. Not a fan of his ISO games... I think the Lakers have too many options for him to rely on ISO at times. Montrezl has been getting wide open for bounce passes but LeBron would look him off. I get that he's the best player in the world but he wanted more teammates who can carry the scoring load so he's gotta give them a chance as well.

    The isos are frustrating given how deep the team is and how many options we have out there. I agree with you.

    Have not seen the Warriors LED walls. Are they like in the Bubble with whole one side of of court and both end zones?

    I just know from being around them at shows that it's labor intensive putting them up, testing and calibrating, and running from truck and striking ..... plus expensive as hell. And with multi-staging events that process repeated frequently probably way too expensive with no live gate revenue.

    I actually like the look the Lakers have created, all things considered, with the big graphics imbued blackout seat coverings and the colored spots moving on the perimeter at times. Beautiful treatment compared to some arenas.
