I don’t think we’re constructed to play like that even if we wanted to
From what I’ve noticed , there has been times when LeBron looked like he wants to go into LeBron-ball iso and bully his way to the rim , but is unable to due to lack of spacing as defenses are sagging off our guys more than hes been accustomed to with his previous teams.
Obviously it has still worked at times, other times its looked like he just couldn’t do it.

Anyone who thought otherwise hasn't watched LeBron play.
Both Chris Bosh and Kevin Love had their games ruined because of LeBron. I remember back when Dan Gilbert asked LeBron if he wanted Amari Stoudemire or Antawn Jamison; LeBron chose Jamison.
They call this dude a king and constantly portray him as a savior. He ain't changing man... The entire roster is going to be overhauled for LeBron. I think Ingram just gave Magic the excuse he needed to make a move earlier than the fans would have originally accepted and possibly for a player the fans do not approve of.
I feel something really stupid coming...
Overreaction much?
Lebron has let it be known over and over again he likes BI and Kuzma. We would of had Kawhi already if that wasn’t the case.
The only other player I could see LeGM and magic trading BI and Kuz for is Anthony Davis and that won’t happen anytime soon.
Between me & you
I kinda wish he didn’t like BI & Kuzma so much

And I don’t blame you, did you see Kawhi destroy the Celtics the other night?!? .
But fwiw back to our current situation I’m happy we still got BI and Kuzma and still rather keep them and just flat out steal Kawhi next summer from Canada.

Oh yeah,Kawhi definitely changes the entire outlook of a game.
You are right tho that is the logical approach .. just getting a little bit antsy over here 😂 Been a long 5 years

And yes those players combined have 4 titles playing with LeBron. Don't really care these players think he might be 'ruining' their game as long as they're winning chips, and neither do I.
Really man?
Chris Bosh developed a heart issue and Kevin Love battled depression playing with LeBron... I don't think it's coincidence at all.
Getting the blame for everything negative that happens and none of the praise for the good things is par for the course when playing with LeBron. Have you ever worked in a toxic environment?

How many times has Lebron traveled in the first two games. At times I find myself laughing they are so blatant.

Glad I’m not the only one whos noticed 😂
Last night on that step thru move under the rim , he literally picks up his dribble, establishes what should’vd been a pivot foot, takes a step forward and another step with said pivot 😂😂

I ain't gonna lie... I am somewhat unnerved by it because (even when we had Kobe) never got away with it this blatantly. I am expecting it to be called; but the play goes on and I am left confused. _________________ “There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

I feel like Kobe’s foot would maybe slip a little bit where they could technically call a travel but often times refs just let it go.
There would be times Kobe traveled but his footwork was so good he kind of did it in a smooth way it’s hard to explain
Now with LeBron it’s usually painfully obvious and happens pretty often but again at least he’s on our team lol
It would be hard to win games this year if this continues. Not expecting him to be a defensive stopper but at least don’t blatantly screw up rotations _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season

He didn't screw up the rotation there, Kuzma did. Capela was wide open under the basket. Though LBJ gets some blame for being too lazy to close out on Tucker after the fact, that rotation isn't on him.

Ok, I am hoping you are joking. If you are serious in any way, that comment has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read in my life.

Lebron was supposed to tag Capela then rotate/sprint back to tucker to contest that shot. Tucker was his responsibility on that play. _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season

Highly disappointed with the King. Not because of the stats or points but for the passion and interest. He seemed to me like he is exploring other guys possibilities and giving them the ball. Come on. You are the Alpha. You need to take the ball and score.
With Kobe on 33 on his back this would be a win for the Lakers with Kobe scoring 45 point. Simple as that. He wouldn't allowed Harden to beat him.
Oh my, the legend of Kobe gets bigger and bigger.
Kobe wouldn’t let Harden beat him? But the last 4 meetings, Harden won all 4 of those games while averaging 31.5 points against Kobe. Harden even dropped 40 on one of those wins against him. In fact the last 10 meetings between Kobe and Harden, the Lakers lost 8 of those 10 meetings.
You guys make it sound like Kobe carried us to every comeback and made every game winner and stopped everyone, when Kobe himself let Gilbert Hibachi Arenas score 60 on him and beat him too at home. But seriously always have to bring up Kobe. It’s fine to criticize LeBron, but always feeling the need to turn into a Kobe debate is futile.
The Mods have already said to stop making this thread Kobe and LeBron, the Mods have already decreed it so just FYI.
Kobe wasn't even guarding Gilbert on the majority of those shots.. So "Kobe himself let Gilbert Hibachi Arenas score 60 on him" isn't accurate at all.
Ahh, the old 'Kobe wasn't guarding him' argument. Well, why not? Haven't people stated on here several times he guards the opposing teams best player when it matters? I guess when your opponent is gunning for 60, you let a scrub guard him instead.
Does your response have anything at all to do with my response to the prior post?? It was asserted that Kobe had 60 dropped on him, which I stated was an exaggeration and simply not true. What you're saying has no relevance in regards to my response.

I mean, you can think it's absurd; that's fine.
However... Why don't players want to play with LeBron then? Must be something to it.

Lebron has been very efficient when you look at his stats, however his true impact on the game is lacking, im sorry but houston had tucker playing PF the other night and guarding lebron, especially in the 4th, instead of going to work bron just went through the motions. Going to br a long year, we have no go to scorer

I've seen Lebron start slow before and used to be optimistic when I was pulling against him "OKay, this is the year he slows down. This is the year he becomes inefficient and drops below 50%." He always end the year with career numbers and insanely efficient FG%. Now that I'm pulling FOR him, I fear he might actually age. LOL!
