    I hate SAS almost as much as i hate Skip and Barkley. Clowns place is in a circus, not making millions on national TV :(

    Yeah, he only has 2 groins, and they are hanging on by worn out connective tissue. He’s close to toast. 1 more year for the going away party is my guess. He knows he can’t bring it every day like he wants to any longer.

    That 3 is something he always does... it does not make any sense. But I can't be hard on him. He had an excellent game overall, was our best defensive player at the age of 40.... I can't criticize the man. He looked so down (or maybe just too tired) in the post game interview, I felt sorry for him.

    He played 85+ minutes of very good ball in 3 days and his team went 0-2 .

    This is the 1st time I ever feel sorry for him

    agree. i tire of the "lebron needs more help" and "look at what he's doing at his age" stuff because i think it excuses some poor play and ignores his very large salary. but in this case, he did everything he could to win those games. yes, he had some flubs--as has luka--but those guys needed their teammates to play better in this series. pure and simple.

    and with how evenly matched the western conference is (i'm still not buying okc's dominance), it feels like a big missed opportunity.

    So cruel to play that well over the weekend and lose both games. Nothing but devastating losses since 2020.

    0 points in the 4th Q last night

    2-11 in the last 13 playoff games

    I'll give him props for his defensive play late in the game last night and playing almost the entire game. Last 2 games he's been good.

    This is just a culmination of building a team around Lebron, its not going to translate into wins.

    I have nothing but respect for the man. He set the tone early, was all over tha place, moved his feet, helped on D... he's 40 for crying out loud. I play rec ball for 45mins. and then im dying for a week. He's not human, we won't ever see anything like that ever again (at least not in my lifetime).

    The Championship team was built around Lebron. Perhaps Rob hasn't built a decent enough squad around Lebron since then?

    At some point the question becomes...are Austin, Rui, Vando, and now DFS...a championship caliber supporting cast? We had AD, now we have Luka. Similarly results in our last 3 playoffs series though.

    Why do we continue to have him inbound the ball at the end of games? He’s generally awful and careless at it, he cost us the Bulls game doing that.

    If we had won that Bulls game, we'd still be in same exact position, as we are now.

    Yeah he is a natural receiver so better for him to catch a tough inbound probably

    " One possession can change a whole playoffs series" Lebron on his podcast :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Lakers played like they had ZERO playoffs experience in Game 3 and 4
