    Keyed the third quarter jumpstart with 7 straight points. Played steady.

    Not a great game, another heavy TO game. Considering his average against GS, thought he might push the scoring a bit more.

    But he was great coming out of halftime. 12 points in the first couple minutes of the quarter. Big time in dictating the tempo in a quarter we've been struggling with lately.

    He's just pushing his all time records out of reach permanently.

    same mannerisms and style of play

    A lot of folks in Ohio still feel he would have been the best football prospect out of Ohio ever if he had stuck with football lol

    Anyone have any idea as to why his handle has been so erratic lately?
    Arthritis?

    he's the galaxy's leader in career turnovers. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by lately.

    You say that quite often, but it’s mainly down to him almost holding the all time games played while being the main playmaker for 22 years. Turnovers happen and if you have a look at the top 20 charts it’s a who’s who of MVPs and high usage All Stars.

    Yes, but I love pointing it out. His handle has been weak though, and the content on X has been gold.

    Needs to get his 3 pointer back - lakers just don't have enough shooters for Lebron not to get back to the 40% he was last year before he got hurt

    So is LeBron allowed to state the obvious without being labeled a hater? Just wondering. I do genuinely wonder sometimes why he didn’t just opt out and go play for like MLE money somewhere to compete for a title though. He was part of that issue tonight as well, he looked stiff, a step slow, and tired, how you’d expect someone his age to look more often than he has.

    not sure what the first part's about as exactly zero people have said the lakers are on okc's level this year, but agree with the second part--don't act like you're not part of a group that can't sustain 48 minutes of energy, bro. we have the tape.

    Yeah, but LeBron is part of the problem he’s part of the reason we can’t sustain the energy and he’ll never admit that.

    Lol..I wouldn't expect the oldest player in the league, to be leading the team in sustainable energy. That's frankly unrealistic.expectations

    you wouldn't expect the oldest player in the league to be among the very highest paid, either. but reality persists.

    No one said leading the team, but you can’t be calling the team out when you’re part of the problem with sustaining energy.
