1/28 Lakers @ Pistons

[Nike D'Antoni]

No Anthony Davis.

Lakers down 8 in 3rd quarter

[Nike D'Antoni]

Rose huge

[Nike D'Antoni]

I think the Lakers might trade Harell. Not championship material.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers down 5 with a Detroit FT pending after timeout

5:20 left

And Lebron needs some rest time.

[SATAN]

Kuz :oldlol:

:facepalm

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers are done. They haven't scored for 5 minutes, and Pistons up 11 with 4 mins to go.

His attitude stinks sometimes

[aj1987]

LeBron was utter dog shit in the 2nd half. Arguably worse than the '11 Finals.

[Doranku]

Jesus. Just one of those games we were never gonna win.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers havent scored for 6 minutes

[Indian guy]

LeBron has so many 2nd half no shows this season. Gets tired and there's no fall back option once that jumper stops falling. He missed close to 10 shots around the rim in this game (he can't jump). This is why I :oldlol: @ MVP talks. At 36, he's simply not good enough for it.

[aj1987]

Jesus. Just one of those games we were never gonna win.

Would've been an easy win. They were doubling Blake at the 3 for some reason and leaving 3pt shooters open. LeBron decided to go to playmaking mode like a complete retard, when his shot was falling, and KCP/Schroder/Gasol were worse than D-League players.

[Doranku]

I know this is the 2nd night of a b2b, but wow what a gutless performance from the whole team.

Schroder and Kuzma ain't it.

[Lebron23]

Damn

[k 96]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :roll:

Schroder and Kuzma are the definition of inconsistency. If you're banking on them helping you in the PO's, you're gonna lose all your hair. :oldlol:

Kuzma sucks lol

I have no hope for Kuzma in the playoffs. Schroder is gonna need to figure it out though. He needs to be better. He's obviously not going to average the numbers he put up in OKC but the extreme drop in efficiency is inexcusable. Really didn't think he fit with this team when we made the signing and nothing has changed my mind through over a quarter of the season.

LeBron's isn't wired to be a volume jump shot taker. Especially if the game is competitive. He's a slash first, second and third sort of guy and when that's not available, he'll simply become passive.

I know and he stopped doing that as well. The Pistons and shit team and a shit defensive team. The whole team played like shit, but LeBron being LeBron deserves a ton of blame for them losing.

Yeah, his passiveness didn't really make any sense given the whole team was struggling. And the game was there for the taking for the most of the 4th qtr too. Loss definitely falls on his shoulders first.

I'm hoping he starts showing something physically by March ala last season. Nobody remembers now but things looked pretty grim for him last year too. As of right now he has no driving game in the half-court:

Free throw rate is 2nd lowest of his career (2020 was lowest)
% of FGA at-rim lowest since 2011 (when he was slow as ****)
At-rim finishing % lowest since 2008 (when his volume was crazy high).

And the current era is so much more offense friendly than pre-2019. Let's see if he improves or is just an old guy now.

[PP34Deuce]

The Philly game was a tough one as you can tell they wanted to really win and beat them
Detroit seemed like an effort game.

Lebron always does this. He's essentially every season before all star break goes through a period where he's aggressive scoring and then he goes completely passive. None of us are in his mind, but it feels like he magnifies holes in his teams by being passive to show front office and coaching what is needed.

Kuzma took a friendly lou williams type contract that makes him easier to move. Schroeder isn't a huge problem as he does play defense and can get hot in scoring spurts.

AD is just trying to stay healthy for a stretch run and you can tell. At times he looks dominant.

TBF, LeBron hasn't really been getting as many calls as he should.

How is AD carrying these bums?

Lepassive, Schroeder sucks, gasol is washed, kuzma spends more time at the hairdresser trying to look like a 40 year old lesbian than working on his game:facepalm

Lakers without AD (this season and last) - 7-4 (52 win pace)

Lakers without LeBron - 2-2 (42 win pace)

:roll: :roll:

Kuz actually played pretty well last night. Had a couple of good passes and rebounded hard. Gasol was dog shit. Schroder was dog shit. LeBron was a straight up bitch.

[Dagoods]

LeBron cannot win without a BIG-3 FACT!

LeBron + WADE + BOSH + Allen
LeBron + Kyrie + Love
LeBron + AD + Playoff RONDO

And now that Playoff RONDO is gone is, he needs that third star!
