Un****ingbelievable how bad these ***** are.

LeBron should be the Runaway MVP.


This doesn't even show the bad fouls which were biting on pump fakes, or the crucial moments Davis missed all his FT's in, or the bunnies Howard missed, some after offensive rebounds, undoing those.


I think they might have to give McGee more burn than Howard, I think at this point he has better touch around the rim than Howard.

[ArbitraryWater]

Danny Green 2/8 on mostly open 3's what a piece of shit excuse my language this guy is

[ImKobe]

Runaway MVP? Didn't the Bucks just lose to the Magic with Giannis putting up 31/17/7 with more 3s than anyone else on his team? Didn't Middleton put up 14 points on 12 shots? Where's your thread on that?

It's odd that alleged Laker fans don't even care about their squad when LeBron, the best player on the team, the key to their franchise going forward, tries to help them. I never respected the worst of Laker fans, nor did anyone else for that matter, but the forum has the absolute bottom of the barrel of them. Absolute garbage people. I'm not sure if they even know what basketball and franchise building IS ABOUT

[BigtimeNBAFan]

Lakers still win the series.

Dwight entered the lineup and slowed down Nurk by being a pest. He was very active defensively and gave good effort on the glass at both ends. McGee has done nothing in Orlando. Why would you want to give him more minutes? He needs to be kicked out of the rotation entirely.

LA couldn't make threes at a good clip. Davis scored 7 points in the second half, and KCP had 1 more point than every ISH poster combined.

All Bron though! Definitely the reason LA lost :oldlol:

Most of these "Laker fans" on ISH are reformed Kobe fans. They're not exactly good at hiding it either.

In their mind it is "inconspicuous" to blame Lebron for every loss. And in games where dude was their best player by a mile :oldlol:

Vogel didn't really use the seeding games to work on his rotations. He's got to find a combination that kcp works in. He's a different problem than McGee because the lakers need to play KCP.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Yeah subbing Kuz for KCP late in the game was a head scratcher.

Not saying they should get heavy PT or anything, but Vogel might need to give JR and Dion more minutes. Going to need all the shooting they can get.

[clutchinho]

Lebron needs more help

Bum ass AD with his 28 points, get Bron his Khris Middleton

[Roundball_Rock]

In their mind it is "inconspicuous" to blame Lebron for every loss. And in games where dude was their best player by a mile :oldlol:

I notice when they win AD=MVP but when they lose it is all on LeBron, the supposed #2? :oldlol:

[Overdrive]

Cast was good enough for a 1st seed, but not winning the first round? Kneejerk reaction much?

[theman93]

5 minutes remaining Lakers only down 2 (89-87):

Lebron: 2 points on 1/2 shooting and 0/2 from the FT line.

Yet another example of Lebron failing to close the deal in crunch time.

[Wally450]

Eh, LeBron could've shot better than 9-20 himself.

[NBAGOAT]

one game doesnt meant cast is horrible. i do think dion needs to play, he can run the offense a little. The lakers need to give in and play ad at the 5 a lot more with ad/lebron/kuz/green/kcp as the main one. the lineups with howard or mcgee and ad are only good at rebounding and they cant defend this por team well. when ad sits play howard.

[FireDavidKahn]

Lebum was a -3.

Which was by far the best in the starting line up

[NBAGOAT]

sportsvu shooting numbers.

Wide open threes:

Blazers: 3 for 6
Lakers 3 for 16

Open threes:

Blazers: 5 for 15
Lakers: 3 for 11

So lakers actually defended portland decently well in terms of limiting 3 attempts.

[n00bie]

I don't know if you guys watched Danny Green during the Raptors playoffs but he was HORRIBLE.

I got to watch 2 of the playoff games live, and everytime the guy was on the sidelines getting ready to sub in, the whole HOME crowd was screaming at him to sit his ass back down. I'm so glad he left Toronto.

[coin24]

Libron needs moar help it's not fair!!

[PP34Deuce]

Everytime it's Lebron, people jump to extreme conclusions. This Portland team is not Golden State....

Lebron doesn't need to go for 40. He needs to put the pressure on at certain points and remain engaged offensively
AD needs to be more aggressive.
Laker's perimeter guys need to stop falling for pumpfakes with CJ. CJ is banged up, he's not trying to drive to the paint if he doesn't have to.
Live with Dame lighting you up.

To combat two bigs out the paint, they need to play Howard and AD more. Move Lebron to 4 with Kuzma able to slash through the paint.

[PP34Deuce]

I agree. Dwight is huge for this team against Whiteside for battling in the paint.

Vogel has a tough decision because all of his guards are similar. Streaky shooters who play decent defense. Ultimately I think Danny Green is given one more half to make his open shots before they insert JR Smith in.

KCP should be benched for waiters case closed..

It will be nowhere because LeBron stans aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. LeBron had 2 points in the final 7 minutes of play, had a big turnover, and missed 2 big free throws all in the 4th quarter, but will share absolutely no blame in the loss.

[PP34Deuce]

KCP can hound CJ or Dame defensively. Unless Waiters is willing to play defense, KCP isn't leaving the rotation since he's quick enough to defend both guys.

Ultimately I see Danny Green losing playing time to JR if he's still bad for another half.

[ArbitraryWater]

Vogel didn't really use the seeding games to work on his rotations. He's got to find a combination that kcp works in. He's a different problem than McGee because the lakers need to play KCP.

Why?

[ronniec]

Lebum was a -3.

This ^^^

He is -3 on the court

[red1]

they need to look very hard at all of the minutes they give to kcp and green


I know coaches always trust their veteran defenders but man... these guys are going to be liabilities all playoffs long. I'd honestly roll the dice on starting caruso on lillard.

[Dbrog]

You guys are ridiculously reactionary. This thread should be bumped when Danny Green goes for 24 off 3 pointers or has a game winning block, or when Kuzma has a hot game and outscores Bron and Davis, or when Brow puts up a 40/20 game. Bron has a cast good enough to win a championship this year which is why Lakers and Clippers are favored to be in the Finals. Just hilarious the lengths some of you will go to boost Bron.

[ArbitraryWater]

This ^^^

Do you understand how those numbers work? LeBron played with the starters, which all had far worse on‘s... in fact, before they hoisted up bad shots at the end, he was a plus.


How are you THIS dumb?

here we go with the bron stans making excuses already.

maybe if your boyfriend could make a free throw they'd have a chance.

this is why LeChoke is focused on passing. this way he can't take any blame. "i passed the ball and they missed the shot".

half of his "assists" are BS. makes a routine pass to Kuzma and Kuzma hits a 3 with a hand in his face. LeBum gets an "assist".

[red1]

we're defintely reactionary but its based in fact. I honestly think danny declined a bit - I've watched him play quite a bit the last couple of years. he is still streaky and still lights out when he gets hot, but man. he has been struggling HARD this year.


kcp is a good defender but same issue. IMO he is too streaky to make up for the lack of playmaking - playmaking that caruso brings.


I think the lakers should play AD lebron kuzma caruso and one of kcp/green as their best lineup against the blazers.



that will blitz their bigs off the floor and expose whiteside and nurkic because neither can stick with an athletic guard like caruso. then lebron and AD can shit on the rest of their smalls.

the two bricked freethrows were ugly - definitely a lebrick moment - but that doesnt change the fact that his playmaking and AD's freethrows were the only reason you were in the game.

They did that yesterday and got shellacked on the defensive end. Didn't help they hit a dry spell, and couldn't hit the side of a barn.

LA should roll w/ that group for a bit in Game 2, but if that isn't working, mix it up with either Jr or Dion. LA needs more shooting.

[Dbrog]

Danny definitely streaky. Been watching him closely since his Spurs days but damn...he was the catalyst why Toronto won some of those games last year. I see him still having games like this for the Lakers. I just don't know why people are so shook. It's not like the Lakers need that much help if Bron is more aggressive (I think he will be) and Brow is more Brow-like (I think he will be). Like you said, if they modify their lineup to go a bit smaller and more flexible, I think they can stomp the blazers. This isn't even including people like Dwight having throwback games where he comes in off the bench for like...15/15/3. I really just don't see their vet players being consistently awful.

yeah they played like shit overall. I think they should stick with that lineup because it puts pressure on the bigs AND the smalls - caruso and one of kcp/green can hold the fort against dame and cj but more importantly it will get their bigs off the court. whiteside and nurkic are bothering the lakers in different ways and they can be abused by the lakers if they play it this way.

I don’t see what’s wrong with the post. They are easily good enough to win a championship. Ad is gonna have to play better and Lebron is gonna have to be more aggressive on offense

Dude, you're melting down after one loss. They played well all season, chances are they'll find a way to win this series. If not shit happens.

Of course some players shrink in the playoffs, but 1 game is too early to tell.

[Doranku]

AD needs to be fined every time he takes a 3. I'm sick of him standing at the 3 point line for 80% of the game. Like are you kidding me? Nurkic is a turnstile on defense yet AD wants to bail him out by playing 30 feet away from the basket. Ridiculous. I miss Pau.

[Spurs m8]

The meltdowns are unreal lol

LeGM has given you all tears

[SamuraiSWISH]

Here comes the pathetic excuses from the Three 6 Mafia

[Gohan]

The problem was ad was forcing shots hoping that he would get the call everytime

[FourthTenor]

The problem is Lebron’s success has always been EARNED, but his teammates are used to having it given. They dont understand what it’s like to Strive For Greatness.

The reality is, Lebron aint got no worries because his legacy stays on point no matter what happens here. He remains GOAT/BITW. That shit doesnt change.

It’s his teammates who need a look in the mirror.

[Gohan]

^^ and you called me a troll

[tpols]

It really takes me back in time fellas...

People used to lament on pau gasol and lamar odom back in the day, a decade ago. Too much help! Frontcourt too stacked! Now we see a prime MVP candidate Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, and Javale McGee... and it's just not enough. AD totally shits on Pau as a player. You're comparing a 30 ppg player to a 18 ppg player with the former also being better on defense. Difference between a top 5 guy and a top 15. And it still aint enough lol. I swear to god... LBJ needs literal olympic teams to be a favorite. The wild wild west has him on the ropes in the FIRST round. :lol

[Charlie Sheen]

Why?

Stop saying wild stuff
How is what I said wild?
The Lakers don't need to play Mcgee. There's a reason he was at the end of the warriors bench. They are going to need to play KCP if they want to make a deep run into the playoffs. His ability to guard points, 2's and some 3's is invaluable to a championship contender. He still contributes when his shot isn't falling.

[34-24 Footwork]

Dude, you're melting down after one loss. They played well all season, chances are they'll find a way to win this series. If not shit happens.

Of course some players shrink in the playoffs, but 1 game is too early to tell.

It has more to do with the reality that Lebron is playing his FIRST Western Conference Playoff Series after missing the playoffs last year. The intensity, talent, coaching, and skill level is different than what they're used to.

His fans SHOULD be nervous.

Nah, the team outside LeBron/AD is trash. Kuzma is extremely inconsistent. KCP is.. well, he's KCP. Green has been bad the entire season and shooting 25% from deep in the bubble.

[jlip]

I haven't read through the thread, but something I've been saying for years, even since his Heat days, is that Lebron's teams are better when he is aggressive. His natural position is point forward not point guard. He's an elite point guard, but he's a legendary point forward. From my observation, over his career, especially in the playoffs, it appears that his teams fair better when he's a 30/8/8 player than a 24/8/11 player. If memory serves me correctly, I vaguely remember seeing a stat earlier in the season where the Lakers win percentage was much higher when Lebron led the team in scoring than when he didn't.

I don't disagree, but ironically LeBron won the title in 2 of his lowest scoring playoff runs ('13 & '16) and didn't win when he averaged 33-35 ppg ('09, '17 & '18)

[E_Stamkos]

His teammates are trash.

Needs more help.

Year in and year out the same regurgitated narrative seeps into NBA playoff ether.

Devout player fans like OP are as sorry as they come. Especially this f*ucking cry baby... Absolute weirdo who probably goes about his days with a butt plug lodged into his anus that is carved into the likeness of Lebrons face.

I think they might have to give McGee more burn than Howard, I think at this point he has better touch around the rim than Howard.

He just doesn't have enough HELP!

[Doranku]

Ironically the two players who shit on peak Bran in the playoffs with his #1 seeded Cavs teams (Dwight and Rondo) are part of this supporting cast. :lol

[red1]

kcp was amazing. he already played great defense in game 1 - his threes were everything this game. huge momentum shots.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

LeRondo with 10/7/6 and 6 turnovers on 4/11 shooting and we still won by 30 outside of garbage time minutes

Thankfully we recoupled and retooled after his failure to bring us to the playoffs last year

If only Green followed this path as well :(

:roll:

Talk about a thread backfire.

Rest of Lakers: 101 points
Bron: 10 points

YIKES

[Overdrive]

Cast was good enough for a 1st seed, but not winning the first round? Kneejerk reaction much?


Have you heard about players looking better in the RS and not being cut out for the playoffs?

So much stupid on ISH

Shoulda gone RGM with this lol

Where would they be without LeBron‘s 22 on 9 shots and his playmaking?

LeBron has single handedly created more than 30 points this half.

Oh thats right, we know: lottery.

These are all players no team wanted except AD, Green, KCP.

You‘re exposing yourself again.

Sure. You were melting down out of fear Lebron might lose in the 1st round. That's it. Did I say Lebron sucks or is to blame itt? No. I said the cast was good enough to win the first round and you called me dumb for that.

Honestly you're still a child unable to admit mistake. Grow up.

Do you even understand how much of this is LeBron?

The cast is not good enough for anyone other than LeBron to win the title with.

The point is more so that the cast is inadequate. Many better players at positions on all the other contenders. Many.

Well, this team was built around Lebron's skillset, as has every other team for the majority of the last 10 seasons with the exception of last year's.. Also, this team has a shot because of their defense, you could replace Lebron with Kawhi and they'd improve on the defensive end and they'd still have a decent offense. The cast is not "inadequate", when his 2nd best player is top 5 in the league with a bunch of guys who are really good on the defensive end. How can his cast be inadequate, when his team blew out the Blazers with him putting up just 10 points on 4/11 shooting w/ 6 TOs? How is his team inadequate, when they won the next game by 30 despite Davis sitting out the 2nd half?

Lakers in 4 games have held the #3 offense (113.7 ORTG) to a 103.1 ORTG in the series..

Since LeBron's night is likely done, a quick glance at his line:

60 offensive possessions
30 points
93% true shooting
10 assists (24 assist points)
6 rebounds
1 block
+17

He's been 2018 Lebron great in 2/4 games in this series, he's done his job, nothing bad to say about him. Bron and Davis have been 1a/1b in this series overall, though I think I'd lean slightly towards Davis because they built the huge leads with him and Lebron played more garbage time in the last 2 games. Overall, the supporting cast has done their job in this series, they had one aberration with historically bad shooting in Game 1 (Lebron and Davis choked in the 4th as well), but defensively they've lived up to what they did in the RS. Y'all trashed KCP all year and said the Lakers would be missing Bradley in this series, well I don't think AB could have played any better than KCP has in these last 3 games.

First time I've seen you post something rational in my life. This lakers supporting cast is the best team Lebron's had in a long time.

Proof that LeBron has had horrid casts for most of his career


Chances of winning a ring based on TEAMMATES WS/48 in PLAYOFFS.
(Based on 16 great players and 207 total POs):

.161 and over = 100% (6/6)
.147-.161 = 86% (12/14)
.128-.147 = 50% (14/28)
.115-.128 = 48% (14/29)
.099-.115 = 29% (11/38)
Under .090 = 0% (0/64)

I dont understand that graph.

It doesnt give a league wide rank for supporting casts which would actually be helpful.

It's comparing the WS/48 of the teammates vs. the odds that they won the championship. Better supporting cast = higher chance to win a ring. Look at the stats which are only including the most elite in NBA history vs. the outcome on whether or not they won the Finals.

Under .090 = 0% (0/64)

For example, in 2018 his teammates produced a combined 0.059 WS/48 (0/64 supporting casts won the finals producing less then 0.090 WS/48...Never the fact he went up against Curry, Klay, Draymond and Durant) and yet he still made the Finals. The best his teammates produced in any playoff run was 0.142 WS/48.

This was one of his best options during his Cleveland days.
