He's injured, for (bleep) sake |
So why did he come back for the Pelicans game (play-in implications) but decides to sit out the last 2? |
I bet he miraculously heals good enough to play & win the scoring title!
I’m tired of his me, me, me crap. Lakers go as he goes, face it wears down late in games cause this team is bad. Too much to type, but Rob gave us all offense & no defense & somehow Frank forgot how to coach.
Blame everyone from Jeanie to trainer.
Championship or not, I never liked or wanted LBJ, Lakers gotta stop getting guys past their prime. The whole Nunn thing has me puzzled & something is wrong with that whole story. I can go on & on, but hopefully if I had my say. Either Jeanie would sell the team or Mr. Clutch woulda been here years ago & I wont even give my thoughts on the Rambis more crap.
I stopped watching them shortly after all star break when I knew you can’t change a zebras stripes. 😂🤣 That’s a joke, just like this team has been ALL YEAR!!! 😡😡😡😡

This post might hold a plate of weight if there weren't two/three years worth of posts of you being absolutely in denial anytime he or AD got injured.
I think it's unfortunate that he and AD rushed back from injuries and didn't win those games. That was a waste of energy/healing and set things back. |

Both of his returns were against the Pels, because, presumably, they were an easy target without BI (and Zion). Unfortunately, BI returned, too, and made it difficult to get the W. I thought the Nuggets game was more winnable than both of the Pels games to be honest, so it was miscalculated on Lebron's part. |

That was my whole point TDRock, LeBron shouldn’t have come back for the Pelicans game especially since it didn’t benefit us in any way |

LBJ has to play in two more games to be eligible for scoring title
100% guaranteed he plays against OKC and Den (who won’t play starters since they clinched). LBJ has not played against a 500 team since 3/21. This is not a coincidence. He is picking and choosing the games to play for a reason and it is insanely selfish reasons. How the hell do people not see this? |

| LBJ is injured and knows that season is done. He is playing for his scoring title. I don't blame him for that. |

Wrong answer!
That’s selfish not team oriented.
He kills youthful players confidence. Hey he was great, but he needs to be a 3rd wheel nowadays especially down the stretch of games!
He killed team chemistry this year & I don’t wanna hear about injuries!
There was NEVER cohesiveness from game one. Gotta GUT this team from front office decision makers to ball boy. Those who don’t realize it are delusional…
A.D. is lethargic with or without LBJ, LBJ is CRUISING to scoring title & retirement & Russ shoulda never been on this team. Rob can’t fix this in a year, he has to get or wait until Bron & Russ are off the team!!!

| I can foresee a scenario where the Lakers are eliminated and then Bron decides he wants to play the last two meaningless games to win the scoring title. No way Vogel should let that happen. Put your DNP-CD skills to work and rest Bron, AD, and Russ. Play the young-uns. |

I am viewing this as Game 7 of our season. Sure, it's a longshot that we even get in the play-in, but a win tonight keeps hope alive.
I wouldn't bet money on it, but I'm hopeful that we can pull off a miracle. |

I was going to reply to something and I deleted it because it was rant-y and rants are pointless.
I'm just gonna try my best to enjoy what I can for the rest of the Laker season for however long it lasts and root my team on until they aren't in the equation anymore.

| Sucks to be eliminated in a Phoenix home game. You can be sure their fans are going to have a blast today. With that said, I'm glad that loser franchise doesn't have a championship, and will look forward to seeing their stacked team choke again this year when it matters most. |

It is 100% what he going to do. And he is going to be GUNNING the entire game and once he hits his mark. Say bye bye for rest of game. Vogel is getting fired anyways, have the guts to stick it to LBJ because he screwed you this year. |

The players thank you for still caring about what they're doing. A lot of fans are just too ho hum about the outcome of the games anymore. *looks at myself |

And LeBron's not playing. As expected. AD is going to.
AD still cares about fighting for the play-in despite being on one leg, LeBron cares about the scoring title.

I'm right there with you bro I hate any team that's not the Lakers winning to be as honest and as salty as possible 
This Suns franchise in particular the Entire Red State of Arizona has a deep hate for the Lakers.
With all that said it's still better if the Suns win it this season rather than watching Milwaukee go back to back and definitely at all cost denying the celtics and the clippers from getting a championship.
I'd love a Suns vs Heat finals but the East looks soo damn unbalanced again.
I'm kinda coming around to the Denver Nuggets looking pretty damn awesome as well. Nikola MVP with Boogie backing him up. Shooters all around that can get scorching hot at any minute, including them getting lucky drafting Bones Highland. AN then you factor Jamal Murray possibly coming back.  |

LBJ was balling out while AD was out.
This season has been frustrating enough without unfounded morality plays about who did/thinks/cares about what. |
