Marcus Morris, Dwight Howard great starts

Howard is dominating

Clippers are tearing it up on both ends of the floor and playing very hard.. Not sure how you beat someone like that. You need a high-energy roster to counter teams like that..

[Full Court]

Clippers favorite with no Kawhi and George.Never imagined it.

Pretty simple. Reggie Jackson > Bronie

[Nike D'Antoni]

Kennard is the Lakers killer

[Nike D'Antoni]

The clippers blew a 16 point lead, suddenly this is a game because Zubac especially missed so many open layups and dunks.

[ZionDunks]

Cmon Lakers win me a fkn bet one time

[Chuckbe]

Damn, who was that fine ass Asian chick, there's always fine bitches sitting courtside

[Nike D'Antoni]

Carmelo has loser mentality, refs just bailed him out of turnover

Carmelo is also responsible for half of the Laker's wins

[Chuckbe]

Shogun with the lob to Monk :applause:

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lebron is awful.

[Chuckbe]

Lebron is awful.

What do you mean? Did you not see that lockdown defence on Covington & Coffey?

[Nike D'Antoni]

What do you mean? Did you not see that lockdown defence on Covington & Coffey?

What? He gave them both open 3 pointers. With miserable defense. In a Very crucial game for the Lakers.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Zubac benching is good, he is reason Clippers blew 16 point lead. Missing 4 - 5 easy layups.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lebron is giving the game to Clippers.

[coin24]

LeTiny sucks.. horrible possession

[Nike D'Antoni]

You put the ball in Westbrook's hands. Not Lebron.
For this game.

[Chuckbe]

Refs :facepalm

[bladefd]

I think we are seeing LeBron at the tail end of his prime. He is playing hard but not looking good..

[Nike D'Antoni]

Why is Lue not challenging? Thats off Lebron.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers are losing close games twice now to Clippers, without George/Kawhi. Lebron, Davis, Westbrook, Melo all those names cannot come up in clutch?

[Nike D'Antoni]

Frank Vogel is an idiot, he called timeout to allow Tyronn Lue all the time to decide whether challenge or not.

[coin24]

I think we are seeing LeBron at the tail end of his prime. He is playing hard but not looking good..

Tail end of his prime? Wow you’re retarded.

He’s washed

[John_Connor]

espn crew so damn biased. most obvious shit ever. lebrons standing out of bounds and still has the ball lmao

[Indian guy]

This is pathetic. It's not conclusive enough to overturn it. Move on with the damn game. The **** are the refs doing....

[coin24]

Brutal dragged out review.. ffs

[Spurs m8]

How is this b1tch arguing a clear call?

[Proctor]

LeWeasel trying to be smart but he's not :roll:

OBVIOUS, obvious call.

[John_Connor]

This is pathetic. It's not conclusive enough to overturn it. Move on with the damn game. The **** are the refs doing....

lmao wtf. are you blind

[bison]

Not even trolling or hating but this game is probably on lebron. The lakers were playing with momentum but lebron changed the energy, held the ball too long and played passive defense.

[Proctor]

:roll: :roll: :roll:

[Nike D'Antoni]

This is too much review by refs. They ruined all momentum in world.

[Indian guy]

I think we are seeing LeBron at the tail end of his prime. He is playing hard but not looking good..

:oldlol:

His prime ended with 2018, bro. At age 33. Massive drop-off after that. Obviously, he was so good in his prime that even with a big slide, he can still be a good player. Which is what we're seeing right now.

[John_Connor]

wtf lebron ... really? "you can't get the correct call because I already got away with it!!!!!"

:lebroncry:

[coin24]

Not even trolling or hating but this game is probably on lebron. The lakers were playing with momentum but lebron changed the energy, held the ball too long and played passive defense.

Ran his stupid bran ball, pounded away the whole possession and got blocked on the layup attempt :roll:

[Spurs m8]

How fvcking stupid are the Clippers?

What the fvck.


Yo6 complete and utter braindead fvcks

[Chuckbe]

These refs are the biggest bhenchods ever.

[Proctor]

What the hell :roll:

[Nike D'Antoni]

The way Lebron played, he is choking. The Lakers need to go with Reaves for the final shot. Not Westbrook, not melo, not lebron

[Indian guy]

LeBron has been godawful in this game. I wouldn't draw this last play for him.

[John_Connor]

neither team deserves this win

[bladefd]

Melo is an idiot. Horrendous shot

[Nike D'Antoni]

As I said before Carmelo is a loser mentality.

[Chuckbe]

LeBron game winner incoming.

[nineiron]

#LeCoward

[theman93]

As I said before Carmelo is a loser mentality.

Why would Lebron give it up to a guy with a loser mentality for a game winner??!

[coin24]

Melo is an idiot. Horrendous shot

LeTiny wasted the whole clock moron

[John_Connor]

why did lebron run the clock down .. its not tied idiot

:roll:

[Proctor]

LeBrick!

Love watching the Lakers...where one player has all the power and none of the impact :oldlol:

[bison]

LeCHOKE.

But fvck Vogel too. Does this scrub coach have ANY plays to run for the last shot? Is the plan always going to be put it in Lebrons hands and have him run out the clock before deferring to someone who is not prepared to take the last shot?

[theman93]

LeBrick :lol

Last game Davis choked, this time Lebron. CLippers winning close games on Lakers without Kawhi/George, you cannot make this shit up literally lol.

[bladefd]

why did lebron run the clock down .. its not tied idiot

:roll:

For the last shot. That's a fine strategy too. Lakers had no timeout either so it's fine to try to end it there. Melo just took a horrendous rushed shot. If you are trying to get the last shot then be sure it's actually a buzzer-beater or at least as close to it as possible.

But how the hell lebron gonna run down the clock when he clearly had no plan to get the ball to the rim or to the open man. He just hot potatoed it to Melo

[Spurs m8]

LeClutch is the gift that keeps on giving.

And every gift he gives us, is a huge fat L to his stans.

No wonder they're literally getting their mental health destroyed by this guy now hahahahha

That's what you get for living through a LOSER

[Spurs m8]

This is all he ever does.

Never looks for the smart play...always hot potato's

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers are so bad, you have gotta feel the torture for their fans this season.

[bladefd]

Yeah, I don't know why he passed it to Melo. Should have driven in to try to draw a foul or just get a high-percentage shot by the paint.

[RogueBorg]

LOL Lebron is scared to death of that free throw line in that situation. It's like it beat him up as a kid or something.

I saw prime LeBron in 2020. He was still top 5 that season. Since then, it's been brutal except for flashes here and there.

[John_Connor]

you're a ****ing moron. if you're down 1 or 2 you go early to extend the game. especially with no timeouts cause then you don't have time to get the ball up the Court if you have to intentionally foul after a miss. Lakers got lucky with a baseball pass full court tip out of bounds but most of the time that's a steal.

horrible strategy. you wind the clock down for a walk off if you're tied. not down. Jesus you're slow

[Spurs m8]

Lakers are so bad, you have gotta feel the torture for their fans this season.

Its terrible for the real fans


And then there's the fake fans, that still cheer empty stats like they're a victory.

There are 2 options:
1) Take a quick shot and play the foul game. You will probably end up in the same situation again, but you will have to run full court without a timeout and less time on the clock. You are banking on LAC missing a FT.
2) Get the final shot for the win with no foul game. You only get one chance though with this. (what Lakers did)

Both strategies are viable. The mistake LeBron made was not trying to either drive in or actively trying to develop a play. Then of course gives Melo the ball in a horrendous situation, and Melo takes that bad shot with 2 opponents around him. Lebron should have driven into the paint or at least try to create a high-percentage shot for someone else. There was nobody moving around from the Lakers side either. Everyone was standing still and watching rather than moving around without the ball like the Warriors or Spurs typically do.

you only take time off the clock if you run a play to get a better opportunity. if you just stand with the ball letting seconds come off the clock you're taking the same look as if you were taking a quick shot (which Melo ended up taking) .. you can get that shot right away. if the Lakers had a gameplan to run a specific play to get a good look at the basket then ok fine. but that's not what happened..

dumb play

you're dumb

There is no reasoning with you.

thats the first smart thing you've said

[PP34Deuce]

Bad loss to have lebron is to blame for this one.

The bench played hard and focused. Young guys did their thing. DWIGHT was engaged. Westbrook was in control.

I can see LA fans forcing him out. Every star has a weakness but when they are Declining the weakness is more apparent.

He hot potatoed that ball to melo. No play plan. Froze and has no confidence making free throws end of games.

Lebron has masked his decline since 2019 pretty well. Slowly its not as masked.

Top 5 all time great. Not conducive to winning ball games now like before. Lakers won't blow it up but it's clear he plans to stay to play and do his Hollywood business.

[Full Court]

I only watched the first half of the game. But now I'm looking at the box score....

Bronie shot 6-18, with SIX TURNOVERS?!?! :roll:

Lakers lose, and Bronie didn't even get his precious statz??? :lol

Where you at, Bronies? How are you going blame this one on Westbrook?

I see that the Bronie Bunch is conspicuously absent from this thread. Hmmmmmmmm.

They're probably still melting down trying to think of threads they can make about how Pippen was the best player on the Bulls. :oldlol:

[nineiron]

Missed the game, what happened?

[Full Court]

Missed the game, what happened?

Lakers lost. Again.

Bronie slacked off on defense the whole game. Again.

Bronie disappeared in the 4th quarter. Again.

Bronie couldn't come through in the clutch. Again.

But a storm is a-comin'.

Why do people keep saying LeBron is scared of the free throw line when in reality he barely even gets calls anymore?
