Lakers @ Pelicans

[Nike D'Antoni]

Who wins?

[Keno]

lebron with 50 + W.

[Keno]

lebron really is the greatest player to ever touch a basketball, my god

[bison]

Roid.

[bison]

Roid has certain took his viagra before the game.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers started 12-0, and now its just 3 point game. Pelicans weathered the storm

[Keno]

uh oh lebron : (

[SpaceJammeR]

typical westbrook. how many of his turnovers led to fastbreak points. and he does it over and over. smh

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lebron is heading for 50

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Bron going HAM on these deep treys. Putting on a show :applause:

[Keno]

ive seen enough, lebron is the best shooter in the history

[Keno]

let legoat get his 30 before blowing these bums out

[bison]

Ain’t NOBODY beating a healthy lakers team in 7 games!

[Shogon]

This asian lady that can toss 3 or 4 bowls from her foot onto her head and have them all land upright on top of her head in a stack while riding an unreasonably tall unicycle always blows my ****ing mind. That is an insane amount of practice, mental discipline and skill that I will never know.

Even just ONE is mind blowing. After that it's like.. how the ****.

[Im Still Ballin]

35!

[Axe]

Damn that defense is so awful.

[Manny98]

Weren't the Lakers up by 30?

What happened :(

[Indian guy]

Lakers somehow trailing despite shooting 57% from the field and almost 50% from 3 on a lot of makes. Boggles the mind....

[Indian guy]

THT playing crunch time minutes :oldlol:. Vogel will always be a moron.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Lebron in playoff mode.

Still the best.

Shame the lakers franchise is the worst in sports. Wasted greatness

[Spurs m8]

Do you put the clown makeup on, when you post?

[Spurs m8]

As usual for LeBarry..the viagra wears off when it matters

[Indian guy]

Lakers would be so much better if they had even 1 serviceable center on the roster. Dwight's done and nobody else on the roster is taller than 6'9. They get murdered inside every night.

[Manny98]

LeBron always deferring like a bitch in these moments

Imagine KD kicking out to Bruce Brown for 3 in a clutch moment like LeBron just did with Melo:facepalm

[bladefd]

Lakers make me sick.. Such a great opportunity blown.. Bums. To hell with these scrubs :facepalm

[Spurs m8]

LeBron always deferring like a bitch in these moments

That's our LeBarry

Bruh, they have LeCentre.

His stans tell me he's a GOAT centre...ask Johnny32

[Manny98]

I actually want the Lakers to make the playoffs for entertainment purposes

[bison]

Vogel might be purposely sabotaging the team.

[Keno]

that was a pretty shitty loss, considering lebron had like 30 points half time and this is playoff seeding

[SouBeachTalents]

That's the kind of loss that can end your season.

[tontoz]

Lakers scored only 14 in the 4th of a critical game. Ugh

[Indian guy]

Lakers season is done if LeBron's bad ankle turn is an issue in the upcoming games. He was relegated to being a jump shooter the last 3 qtrs of this game.

[Manny98]

btw the Spurs have won their last 3 and our creeping up for that 10th seed

Lakers may not even make the play in tournament at this rate

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Lakers are an absolute shitshow :lol

I turned it off after the half... The fukk happened?

[Indian guy]

\
I turned it off after the half... The fukk happened?

They are one of the worst defensive teams in the league. They can't really afford to go cold offensively for even 1 qtr.

[bison]

Malik monk deserves better

[k 96]

Brandon InGOAT just destroyed the Lakers, proving the doubters wrong once again.

[k 96]

:banana::banana:le ESPNHYPE james :banana::banana:

[ClipperRevival]

Lakers are an absolute shitshow :lol

You turned it off when the Lakers were up 20 at half? :biggums:

[Manny98]

LeGOAT went 2-8 in the 4th :facepalm

[ClipperRevival]

Malik monk deserves better

He's the only one who showed up, especially in the 4th. Lakers would've lost by 15 if it wasn't for him.

[bison]

Russell Westbrook deserves better

[3ba11]

I bet the opponent just happened to "get hot" again and the Lakers "just need to play better defense"

lol

Every team has a ball-dominator, but Lebron's ball-dominance is abnormal for a frontcourt player, so Lebron's teams are the most ball-dominant in the league.. This matters because ball-dominance lets a defense rest, so they have more capacity to go off offensively - the story is always how opponents "get hot" on Lebron's teams - see the 09' ECF, 11' FInals, 14' Finals, 17' Finals, 18' Finals, or 21' 1st Round.. Ultimately, Lebron's teams have the highest defensive requirements because they're always facing fresh offenses that aren't worn down by a good brand of ball.

A tenet of all competition is that the best defense is a good offense - unfortunately, Lebron-ball (aka "big man ball-dominance") applies less pressure and wears down opponents less than the ball movement it faces - it loses the attrition battle inherent in any competition.. The inferior brand of ball yields perennial Finals underdogs regardless of cast and barely meets the underdog expectation (4/10 including 2 teammate bailouts)..

It also underachieves the expectation - Lebron's teams were the preseason favorite from 2011-2016 but fell to Finals underdog or loser every year (6 straight years), aside from the Ray Allen miracle.. The Ray Allen miracle is the only thing that stopped Lebron's preseason favorite from falling to Finals underdog or loser for 6 straight years.

[ClipperRevival]

LeGOAT went 2-8 in the 4th :facepalm

Deferred like a role player when it mattered most. Shades of 2011......

[bison]

Bronball definitely killed us during crunch time. Also Vogel not playing Gabriel and reaves was a big wtf. How THT gets big minutes is beyond me. And throwing Melo in at the last minute was lolz. Vogel is retarded. DJ Augustine deserves better.

[ClipperRevival]

Terrible loss for Lakers. They were up at 23 at one point and up 20 at half.

LeBron went MIA in the 4th.

4pts on 2/8.

Monk really could've used some help in the 4th.

[Spurs m8]

LeBarry doing LeBarry things

[hangintheair]

Empty stats

[k 96]

How about that, Brandon inGOAT with 26 points in 26 minutes, on 10 out of 17 shooting.

[theman93]

Lebron's scoring doesn't equate to winning. Empty stats, empty player.

[Full Court]

:roll:

[bladefd]

The Horrendous Tucker played too many minutes in the 4th. Scrub doesn't deserve the contract he got. Can't play defense, can't play offense. I don't know why he gets playing time. Damn Vogel...

[bladefd]

I don't understand why he benched Gabriel/Reaves in place of THT in 4th.. Horrendous.

Closing 5 should have been LeBron, Gabriel, Reaves, Monk, and Westbrook. I would have been okay with Augustin or Dwight playing a few minutes instead of Reaves or Westbrook in 4th. NO THT OR MELO.

[Keno]

Lebron's scoring doesn't equate to winning. Empty stats, empty player.

he sprained his ankle in the second quarter and more sore in the second half. box score watchers in full effect.

[TheGoatest]

Games like this is where you really see why the Lakers are Gabriel's and Johnson's 9th team in the past 5 seasons, and why the Lakers picked them up from the landfill. Those dudes play decent and hard when their 10 day contracts are on the line, but when they're an established part of the team and need to play well, they suck even by d-league standards. :oldlol:
Sprinkle that with a 0 point game from Reaves, a 3 point game from BUMelo, and above all Vogel's idiocy and this is what you get.
LeBron scoring about 30 AFTER he sprained his ankle and while already having a nagging knee injury is IN-sane. At the age of 37. In his 19th season. :eek:

[hold this L]

Lebron this season and Westbrick during his MVP season are the most embarrassing examples of stat padding over results that I can remember. Maybe Kobe towards the end of his career as well.

Go and re-watch Curry desperately chuck up empty meaningless points in the closing minutes of the game 4 of the 2018 NBA finals after the game/series was effectively over, in a blatantly desperate attempt to fix his averages and win Finals MVP after his choking 3-16, 11 point performance of game 3. :oldlol:

I agree that he was going for the FMVP then, doesn't change what I said about Lebron this season. Dude is playing like a loser.

Nah, you ain't getting off on that vague statement. All star players are "going for the FMVP" when the series starts. Curry was desperately trying to win it after the series was effectively over and he didn't deserve to win it because he choked in game 3.

[RogueBorg]

But, but, but Lebron's the center.

I agree that he did go for it more than KD did for sure in 2018. That still doesn't change that it's a topic about the Lakers and Lebron has been playing like a loser chasing stats over wins this season.

[StrongLurk]

I love how people rag on Bron's bad 4th quarter while ignoring his amazing start and badly rolled ankle that he played through. Let's say hypothetically that Bron did have a good 4th quarter, which means the haters legit expect him to score at least 45 points per game (instead of the 39 he got) to give the Lakers a chance at winning lol.

Those expectations actually make him seem more like the GOAT than not which is ironic.

There is always a good time to statpad and make it seem like he did it all when looking at just the totals.

Once again, your vague statement about him "going for Finals MVP" won't save you. He didn't "go for it", as in try to win it organically as the series went along. Every star does that. What Curry did was he tried to BLATANTLY STATPAD his way to the Finals MVP after a choking 3-16, 11 point performance in game 3. He chucked away shots when game 4 (and the series) was effectively over. There were 4 minutes left in the game with the Warriors being up 25, and this dude was chucking up shots in hope that it would cover the stench of his choking 3-16, 11 point performance from game 3 and even out his averages to be Finals MVP worthy. :oldlol:

You were talking about "most embarrassing examples of stat padding", and Curry in the 2018 finals takes the cake. Well, to be fair he is tied with this known padder:

Funny how this maggot thinks that jordan is a fraud and thus should have been moving on about him already but instead, he manages to bring him up again in a thread that even has nothing to do with him. How preposterous. This, folks, is one of the reasons why kong's team haven't been winning a lot of games lately. :oldlol:

[SATAN]

That still doesn't change that it's a topic about the Lakers and Lebron has been playing like a loser chasing stats over wins this season.

Translation = I don't want LeBron to put up numbers.

What the hell is he supposed to do? Just kick back and watch his teammates and coach throw game after game away? Has letting Russ and someone like THT do their thing been beneficial at all this season? Maybe you want Reaves and Monk taking over games? :lol

How many LA games have you watched this season? They have shot like shit in so many games. LeBron isn't going to be the concentrated playmaker again if it doesn't work anyway. It should have been clear to anyone that the season was over for them long ago. Any time something good happened something equally bad or worse happened. Not saying he isn't to blame for anything at all btw but c'mon.

So he doesn't get any blame for blowing a 20-point 2nd half lead? Is he not part of the problem on the defensive end?

You're an idiot. Lebron is putting numbers over trying to win. Steph won that series in 4. Nice try though babyboi, keep the tears running about your hero having one of the most embarrassing stat padding seasons ever for a player. His buddy Westbrick is proud.

He's not playing any semblance of defense, not even trying. That's the issue and why so many times he has the worst +/- on the court. His impact metrics show this. If he was playing D like previous seasons and getting these numbers, at that point nothing wrong with it.
