I almost wish they gave him a pick me up and added Melo just to see what the hell happens, can’t get any worse

Read on Twitter


This is simply unacceptable from someone making the type of $$$ that LeBron does.

Pure laziness/carelessness. Something I expect out of someone like Hart or KCP, not LeBron.

Didn´t Magic say that if we strike out this summer he will step down?

His plan to get the Lakers back on top was to lure two max free agents to L.A in 2018 and 2019. If he fails this summer, he has to follow his word.

Magic was fooled by double agent rondo

Rondo is working for the Celtics franchise
Stop being so disrespectful.

Sad game all around. The staff was not happy with either Bron or Ingram last night.

I was about 6 rows behind the Laker Bench and was watching the time out and bench interactions all night. Shaw and Walton were urging Ingram to look to pass in the first half..... and yelling it in the second. They were trying to tell him that Ayton was out on LeBron and Kuzma and McGee were being guarded by much smaller guys. At one point Shaw was drawing something on the clipboard and Ingram just walked away.

The game live was tougher to watch than on TV.... There is a group of guys that are talking on the court and sitting on the bench. Kuz, Hart, McGee and KCP seem to be a close knit group. Ingram doesn't talk or interact with anyone and Bron looks frustrated beyond words 90% of the time.

The results were as bad in person as the comments here. I would say that some of the ire should be pointed at Ingram however. Sure he scored but he was basically a black hole all night. Many times he had guys wide open cutting and under the basket and still went head down to the hoop. That basically took 3 or 4 guys off the court offensively and we became very predictable (Ingram or Bron iso again). What I did notice that this is more of what Bron wants to happen and less of what Walton and the staff want. They kept yelling to "swing" the ball late in the game when Ingram had it right in front of the bench and he just blew them off.

In looking at the last several games we've seen a lot more scoring by Ingram and less by Kuzma. That's only a good thing if you're a fan of Ingram IMHO. The overall offense has become so predictable and with our second leading scorer only getting 10 shots and being out of the offensive flow all night you get what we had last night. A 2 on 5 game. Also putting Kuzma on the opposing 5's is not a great thing either. He did a decent job staying in front of Giannis but Ayton is a physical big and he was overmatched all night.

Defensively there were tired legs all over the place. Rondo and Bron needed to be run shorter stretches.

My biggest takeaway.... Luke's lost the team.

On the flip side.... I was 8 rows behind the Laker bench and I got me, my wife and my oldest daughter in the game with food for about $350. I was sitting in a group of Laker fans as well. One of them told me that you can drive to Phoenix, stay in a nice place downtown, have dinner at a good place and see the game from the lower level for less than a nose bleed seat in Staples. The group I was with went nuts when Luke put the crap bench lineups in the game. He could hear them and even looked our way when they were telling him to put Kuz or Ingram in.

Tough loss but a good night with the family.

Just sit Lebron and the useless vets (Rondo, Mcgee, etc) and play all the young players at this point, including Bonga and Mo. Might as well bring Jonathan Williams and Travis Wear into the mix too.

Look, I get you’re probably just a troll and I know the Lakers/Lebron have been absolutely terrible lately, but come on bud

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2018/06/09/steve-kerr-michael-jordan-lebron-james-two-best-players/687325002/

Steve Kerr calls lebron the 2nd GOAT.

Brett Brown, Brad Stevens, Stan Van gundy, and pretty much every other coach all call lebron an all time great and one of the GOATs.

But yup, you definitely know more about basketball than they do am I rite?

You claim LeBron isnt even top 10 all time, but nba coaches and players disagree. I guess nba coaches are stupid then.
