Wednesday 3/9 Game Thread

[The Explorer]

James is really bad on defense, doesn't even bother to fake try majority of the time. Been that way for the majority of the last 5-6 years.

[Goomba3666]

Again...Trade Lebron and AD for a better future while they have value. It's the only way out this mess. No way real players will come here and be a part of this core group.

Joker ain’t passing the ball tonight

There was some unbelievable refereeing for the first few minutes, and then Jokic was just like, NOPE, and did like 13/5/2 in about six and half minutes, a lot of it through uncalled contact.

[Ill News]

Just when you think the Lakers have hit rock bottom, they take out their drills and burrow even deeper. LeBron's body language is at an all-time low too

[JN61]

Question is why they didn't bench LeBron on 4th. They looked far better with LeBron on the bench and actual center in the game.

[Hello Brooklyn]

LeBron should just go back to Cleveland where he belongs.

This is about to get very ugly.

[Antinomy]

Lebron is 37 — Of course he can’t carry a platoon of bums anymore.

Then you have Westbrook out there damn near playing for the other team.

I don’t know how they escape this mess, especially with the elephant in the room, Street Clothes Davis.

If you can’t acknowledge LeBron is getting destroyed by Father Time you are in ledenial.

He's averaging 29, 8, and 6 on 52% from the field, coming off of a 56pt performance, and may win the scoring title. May father time be so gracious to us all

[Tracymcgoaty]

What was the point in even bringing Lebron back if he was going to look like that lol. Dude looked terrible. Might as well have let him rest up. Team will probably make the play in and we wont get the 7th seed so wtf is the point in bringing him back.

What a season. What a team. I hate 95% of the players on this roster.

Reeves
Monk
Lebron
Stanley

After that its all downhill. I'd put AD on ther but i dont count him as a player.

[TheLand13]

43pts on 15shots for Giannis. Pretty good.

but is it "finna thread" good?

Don’t you **** dare.

[The Rainmaker]

The Knicks have just taken out the brooms on the Mavericks. The Mavericks have averaged 81ppg against the Knicks this season while the Knicks have averaged 107.5ppg against the Maverickas.

[BallerTalk]

WB been great. Im not mad at him taking those shots. He is capable of making them. Lebron has been pretty awful. Two great defensive plays there. But he's been bad.

You'll learn.

Putting up good stats but hes not playing close to the player he used to be.

Awful defensively. Disengaged. Bad decision making.

I think hes checked out. Put him on a new team and he would be a top 7 player again.

About to? It's been ugly 5 games into the season. Fact is we dont have the talent to compete for a title. We just dont. Even with AD and Lebron completely healthy we'd get destroyed.

Last season with all the injuries i always said if we get fully healthy we'll get to the finals. And when we went up 2-1 aganst the Suns i was sure of it.

This season i always knew we had no chance. Just a worse team all across the board. Literally every position got worse in my opinion.

KCP
Kuz
Caruso

were vital for this team. I dont care what other people say Kuz was good for us in the role he had.

This roster looks like someone played 2K and started implementing it to real life.

[otwok]

At the end of the day it's irrelevant whether the lakers win or lose. They'll be in the play in game. It's so ridiculous you can suck all year, be a lottery team and still have a chance to make the playoffs

I hate WB. But he was not the problem. He played well except for OT. Lebron looked awful. He should not have played this game.

Well I mean ugly as in like a lot worse. Players publicly attacking each other. Someone demanding a trade.

It could get a lot worse.

With fully healthy AD and LeBron the Lakers would still be good.

But healthy AD hasn't existed in a while. Who knows when hes coming back.

[MrGoat]

Dumb of Kidd to leave Luka in that game as long as he did, he led a run in the 3rd but he was just getting no help tonight. He picked up his 14th tech of the year with about 5 minutes left, he can only get one more without a suspension in these next 16 games. I remember one of the concerns about Luka pre draft was his DeMarcus Cousins like temper and that still looks to be a bit of an issue with him
