What a block :lebronamazed:

What a block :lebronamazed:

with the Mutombo finger wag!

Lakers needing this much from LeBron against this pathetic Magic team, who's 5-22, is horrible.

I was thinking the same thing. Even without AD, this should be a cake walk.

yeah he's playing way too many mins.

[Full Court]

So far this year, the Lakers are the most underachieving team I can ever remember seeing.

Agreed. I want to give them time to gel, but this looks pretty bad for mid-December.

Why is AD out?

Sore knees. Day to day.

You haven't been watching basketball very long then. The 2011 Heat started 9-8, they had way higher expectations than this Lakers team, but they got it together.

2013 Lakers didn't even reach 50 wins despite having a so called super team.

[LBJ]

An excellent stretch. LeGod James is the whole difference maker.

[Nike D'Antoni]

The Lakers look WAY better without Anthony Davis on the floor

[SATAN]

Bron is getting his legs back :rockon:

Dude is locked in

I thought you wanted them to lose anyway.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers with 26-4 quarter, with DeAndre JORDAN Coming in

[Johnny32]

lebron is still ridiculously great.

Right, so in the end, they got it together. These Lakers haven't been able to put a consistent stretch together, yet - hopefully. If they barely make the playoffs and get bounced in the first with a healthy team, they will go down as one of the all time underachievers. A lot of "if's" there, I know.

[Nike D'Antoni]

That was Chris Paul lob from Malik Monk to DeAndre Jordan.

[Johnny32]

from down 1 to up 22.

[Thenameless]

It looks like Vogel is making a more concerted effort to really stagger Lebron and Westbrook now.

[TheCorporation]

End of the 3rd Quarter

25/8/6 on 66%

This guy Carmelo can really shoot.

And 3 MONSTER chase-down blocks.
What a performance by the truly GOATest player of all time.

Thank god for that :lol

How will they fit Anthony Davis in? They look WAY better without Anthony Davis on the floor

It's ridiculous to say they are "better without him", but I hope the Lakers 3-0 record without him at least gets that soft fool to look in the mirror, stop talking about how they need to play better, more intense, etc. after they lose and instead actually do something about it when he's on the court.

[Thenameless]

Seems like Lebron's been getting a lot of blocks lately. Isn't that AD's job?

[Thenameless]

Hear, hear!

It's funny how our one-time "Almost FMVP" has become "soft fool". The man in his prime had better get his act together. Eventually, Father Time will claim Lebron, and he'll have to shoulder more of the load.

I agree, we definitely need AD if we want to be successful, but he needs to get his head out of his ass when he comes back.

[PP34Deuce]

Vogel has been staggering bron and westbrook so each guy can be playmaker with their units. The good news is they pass to each other in transition.

Lebron is very calculating. The chase down blocks and the energy tonight to me is him calling AD out. AD will be fine but I do think bron and team want him to be more co sisters in effort.

[Cyrus334]

The Lakers aren't better without AD but they sure do play much faster and are more active on defense.

[Johnny32]

if only tht could shoot. i like the defense, though he makes some dumb fouls, i like his ability to finish at the rim...but his shooting is even worse than last yr it seems like.

[SATAN]

Boom

Great point. Get it together young man, or I'll have to trade you in for Giannis.

[jmcwilliams]

I actually think they look better without AD. He seems to slow things down somehow. Why does he keep shooting threes? Shouldnt he be dunking like shaq?

Lebron putting everyone on notice tonight that thought he was washed. He still has to duck his head to keep from banging it on the rim when blocking.
Also, is Lebron embracing his baldness? He looks very bald tonight.

[TheGoatest]

Russell Westbrook is still a-trocious. Hope they're making some sort of a deal including Myles Turner for him as we speak.

I'm down with that.

[Johnny32]

30+ in 6 of his last 8 games.

[imdaman99]

Fk outa here, Westbrook is home. They better not do him dirty and trade him away. Scumbag move if it happens.

[TheGoatest]

LeBron is registred for 6 turnovers, but I swear at least half of those should be accredited to his stupid teammates who aren't capable of catching the ball when a great pass is thrown to them. They are playing with one of the best passers to ever play the game yet these bums still can't understand to be ready to catch the ball at any moment when LeBron has the ball.

at least 2 of them were good passes they fumbled out of bounds. the dwight one just recently is debatable.

[Thenameless]

I agree it would be a bit of a scumbag move, but I really didn't want him in the first place. His skillset is so friggin' redundant with Lebron's, and his turnover ratio is just awful. Then, there's those very un-clutch end-of-game plays he makes that have already cost us more than once this season.

[SATAN]

lmao that air ball. What was the point of shooting with 15 seconds left?

[Johnny32]

lakers need russ. lebron can't be the only playmaker...he's not 27 anymore...he'll wear down before the playoffs.

[Thenameless]

Good game boys.

[LBJ]

The goal is to win a ring and compete for it. For that, Westbrook has to go.

[bison]

Lebron with the lame league assisted triple double. But Roid was awesome tonight. Can’t lie. This dude is groining up for LA

[bison]

Good game boys.

Let’s f*cking go!! Lake show slowly crawling back on these h0m0s

Bron posts a 30-pt Triple Double. Bison. Cries.

Says who? Is every other team in the league in business to help Lebron or the Lakers win a ring? :biggums:

[Axe]

He really did some triple double against a lottery team lol

:lol

Earlier tonight:

-Nets up 114-100 and have the ball with 1:30 remaining in the game.
-The Pistons have scored 5 points in the previous 3 minutes.
-Durant is still in the game, takes and makes the shot to blatantly stat-pad across the 50 point mark.
*crickets*

Later that night:
-LeBron gets a triple-double late in the game on a team that has blown a shitload of seemingly insurmountable leads throughout the season.

They won't trade Westbrook until the summer.

[PP34Deuce]

What I've seen watchin the lakers Is lebron trying to be more patient but being aggressive on spots where tht or westbrook struggle getting the offense going.
