LABron James Discussion: 21st Season - Setting New Standards

Classic Lakers fan take. Lebron went off in the games we had a chance of winning, but his co-star was busy smoking 11 layups on Christmas. If, in a really tough stretch, Lebron wants to preserve himself a bit for AD's return, who cares. I mean seriously, how old is he again?

 

lol you're such a shameless troll. Here, have some pity

 

And your name is fitting.

Let's bring it back on topic.

If the Lakers are going to improve, Lebron needs to lead better starting with his defense and how he orchestrates the team's offense. He needs to let Rob do his job and support him during the trade deadline. We are in this mess the first place because Lebron wanted Westbrook badly in the summer and they ended up gutting the roster and lost flexibility.

 

Lebron’s a troll giving false hope



Running out of time to turn it around

 

The narrative continues to change in the forum, too.

It's fascinating

 

matches the eye test perfectly.

he's just fallen off a bit, and the whole organization needs to adjust, including him, imo. i'm not holding my breath because kobe never truly adjusted, either.

i think playing him at center was a cute gimmick like houston playing pj tucker at center for a few weeks until teams got to see some film.

 

Yeah great gimmick if you like allowing layup lines and third and fourth chances for your opponent to score. There’s a very REAL reason as to why Pringles ain’t got no hardware!!!!

 

happy to see the win. I tuned out some time in the 3rd quarter, so I didn't see the comeback.

But seeing Lebron with 37 min on a back to back when the next highest minutes on the team was 28 seems a little crazy. But maybe he'll get his leadership in gear and lead the charge on defense. We'll see if this continues.

 

Most of the banana boat crew reunited




Hope he's right, that's quite the declaration and added pressure. Heavy is the crown though, right?



Bron the draft expert doubling down. Waiting to hear later this season that he scouted Stan too, but the Cavs didn't listen to him and he tried to trade up to get him from the Pistons.

 

#Leadership

 

Get im Cook!!

 

Nobody within the FO has the balls to. They brought him in, knew what they were getting into, and have to suffer the consequences. Was one run of Bubble Basketball worth it? I liked the Chip, but man, everything else that comes along with it, I’m not so sure. If we are left with the cupboards bare when he leaves, there’s going to be millions of pissed off Laker fans.

 

vogel getting fired would be sad because he's a defensive minded coach who was given a roster full of 3 pt shooters to work with. in regards to westbrook, i'm pretty sure the only "film" lebron watched of him were sportscenter highlights. "he's one of the best players in the league so it'll be fine" was probably the logic behind that trade

even with russ aboard, this team would still be fine right now if they had guys capable of playing D

 

For me, it’s the focus, effort, and limiting minutes of the bad defenders. They played excellent D the other night, without their defensive anchor.

 

Too little too late... unless this is your "get well soon" card for the unemployed Vogel and his staff. You could've spoken up a hell of a lot sooner. Instead you're trying to distance yourself from the decision in the media.
