So AD can't even beat a depleted and irrelevant Blazers team. Absolutely disgraceful.

[FultzNationRISE]

The Lakers "big man" finished the game with 7 rebounds.

Yep. You read that right.

Seven rebounds.

For one of the league's supposed "premiere big men."

In a loss to the garbage Portland Trail Blazers.


In other news, Bron showed tf out. 30/7/7 (as many rebounds as the team's all star center, go figure :facepalm)

Do your ****ing job, Rob Pelinka.

[TheGoatest]

Nurkic looked like Olajuwon against him.

[coin24]

Sounds like LeTiny came up short where it counts

It's gonna be a looooooooooong end of LeBron's career for Simon baby-boy wichita inbred. Poor guy. All he has to look forward to is stat-padding on LeFraud's part. No more rings, no more championships. No more Finals appearances. Possibly no more playoffs EVER.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE :dancin:hammertime::lebroncry::yaohappy:

Hopefully he is able to go back to highschool and get his GED without being bullied by black kids and stuffed into lockers.

He is on suicide watch

Not the first time AD has quit in the middle of the season. Ask the Pelicans.

Dude is trash.

AD is like the only player who plays defense on this team. He had 2 of the 21 turnovers that cost the Lakers the game against a terrible Portland team.

He doesn't even bother to hit his free throws. And he shot 85% in 2019-20
The bum shot 1-4 from the line. The same amount of free throw misses the Lakers needed to win the game.

Davis struggled to concentrate during his free throws due to being infuriated by Lebron accounting for half the team's turnovers and also having the worst +/- in the game because Letard refuses to play defense.

There are players who weren't in the negative. 100% Queen Lames fault they lost. Seriously... Lol @ Lebron with another all-star losing to a depleted team without Lillard, McCollum, Covington, Powell etc. Lol

It really is pathetic how he grabbed 7 rebounds in 41 minutes vs Nurkic's 12 rebounds in 33 minutes.
Dude is beyond pathetic for at least not being active on the boards when he's being that passive on offense.

[Full Court]

:roll: AD had five freaking blocks. He was the ONLY guy on the Lakers making at attempt at defense.

And you clowns want to blame him. Ok.

Him, Bron & Stanley Johnson had a 106-108 DRTG. Rest of the team? 113-122.. Also, he had a 125 ORTG which was the 2nd highest among starters next to Ariza, who only played ~20 minutes. Monk had a 58 ORTG & Bradley had a pathetic 79 as well :kobe: and they were both awful on defense.

Did Monk start? He should be the full-time starter and they should be trying to feature him - when he broke out earlier this year, he was averaging like 20 on 60% or something during that stretch and his brand of offense was better than anything Lebron has had since he's been in LA outside of AD of course.. Monk can get his shot and spot-up, which is nice to have.. Yeah his defense probably sucks but he can only follow the leader

He did start yes, and he was AWFUL with 1/4 3PT shooting & 5 TOs. He's not a consistent scorer, which is why he's on the Lakers on a minimum contract. He's had some nice games recently but he was horrible in the 1st half of the season for the most pat.

So lets abandon an obvious talent like that just because he doesn't immediately carry Lebron?

Is that what Jordan did when Pippen was wetting the bed in the 80's?

Pippen eventually reached a minimum level of consistency because he was given a leash - because the Bulls viewed him as a special player - Monk should be viewed the same way and then he would play better - this short leash crap just because everyone is impatient to help Lebron is nonsense and partly the reason why no one can play well next to Lebron over any sustained period... It's all about manufacturing his stats and resume... Even AD is cratering in his prime.. everyone else eventually cratered too like Wade, Bosh, Love, Jamison, Hughes, Mo, Kuzma, Ingram, Clarkson, Rose and more

Unfortunately, Lebron never evolved out of ball-dominant offenses that revolve around him, so he never learned to elevate teammates beyond spot-up roles.. Since he can't elevate teammates, he never learned how to win (organic chemistry) and had to team-hop (talent-based winning.. all-star team strategy)

They're giving him burn because he's been one of their best shooters overall for the season but if he keeps shooting 40+% from 3 he's probably going to be asking for more than the Lakers can pay him without going deep into the tax with 3 max guys on their roster already. This is what happens when you trade the farm for an aging Westbrook and yes, Lebron okay'd the trade.


Lebron won 4 rings doing it his way so it's not like it hasn't worked, but it certainly won't work with a past-prime Lebron who's now shooting 7-8 threes a game and not distributing the ball as much. Maybe some of the offensive woes are also a result of Jason Kidd leaving the coaching staff to coach the Mavericks because Vogel's Pacers teams were like bottom 10 offensively when they peaked.

MJ didn't just beat the Pistons - he ended their physical brand from ever being competitive again by developing a BETTER brand based on perimeter finesse and ball movement.

So organic champions like the Warriors, Spurs or 90's Bulls win by developing a better brand of ball than their peers.

Lebron never learned to develop a superior brand and had to be a talent-based winner (team-hopper.. all-star team strategy)..

Most importantly, Lebron's all-star team strategy gave him year 1 favorites in 11', 15' and 20', which is the easiest path possible and obviously much easier than building superior brand and favorite status over many years.

Ultimately, Lebron couldn't win the East with homecourt in 09/10, so he formed super-teams - the extra Finals trips that he manufactured only provided a bigger sample size to confirm that he's a loser.. he's a couple teammate bailouts away from 2/10 and turned preseason favorites into Finals underdog or loser for 6 straight years (11-16') - that's the definition of underachieving the expectation.. He yields perennial Finals underdogs with super-teams that barely meet the underdog expectation (4/10)... He essentially can't beat the West without super-teams or AD being the Jordan statistical leader.

So no, it didn't work.

In 2010, Lebron asked the league "who has the highest PER in the land aside from me?"... And he teamed up with that guy - Wade was #2 in e everything that year - it's like Kobe teaming up with Tmac or Magic with Bird, aka UNPRECEDENTED.. Furthermore, he's the only guy that had the most help possible, aka sidekicks that outplay league MVP's or FMVP's (Bosh over 11' Rose .. Kyrie over Curry.. AD over Jokic.. Wade outplayed fmvp Dirk)

It wasn't just talent in Miami though. Spo is an all-time great coach and their defense really dictated the offense during those championship years. He played more off-ball as Wade was a great playmaker in his own right and they had the shooters in '12 & '13 that made it all possible. Lebron was dominant in the post and could get his without hijacking the entire offense, which is why his raw numbers were low compared to his years post-Miami but his efficiency was close to an all-time peak in the RS in '13.

He's obviously played more for his stats in recent years as he's fine with putting up great averages and losing because the blame won't be on him and he gets to add to his career totals. Right now he's averaging 29/8/7 but he's nowhere near as good as he was in Miami or even his 2nd stint in Cleveland, even though the numbers would suggest that he's just as good. I'm sure the losers on this board will make that argument and blame everyone but him at the end of the season like they've done many times before because context doesn't matter to these guys.

hey OP, why does your hero need AD to beat the Blazers?

[bladefd]

He is very streaky. You can't rely on monk. He reminds me a bit of Lou Williams tbh.. He belongs in 6th man role rather than starting.
