Reggie looks so much better after taking that rest, glad to see.

Clippers have a roster filled with gamers. Powell, Convington, Jackson, Mann, etc. Pretty ridiculous.

Lmao LeBron stat padding like crazy. Hilarious how much he took to heart that the Clippers were the only team he didn’t score 40 against. He’s shooting every time down. 24 shots already with 10 minutes left in the game.

Thomas Bryant's defense honestly makes him unplayable.

That's well known, which is why I don't get why Clips don't just iso Zu on him

Ummm what exactly do you want him to do? Lakers are losing and LeBron's by far their best option on offense.

He's 13-24. Would you rather him not shoot and have someone unreliable do it instead?

Scoring efficiently is stat padding? Why are people like this?

Every time I bet the under on LeBron he kills me. I've finally learned to the lesson to stop betting against greatness.

Because they aren't watching the games?

He’s taken 12 threes. He’s likely going to attempt a career high. The point was, obviously that small legacy thing meant a lot to him. He’s not simply playing within the game like usual.

I mean the game is not out of reach, and outside of Thomas Bryant, nobody else is making a big impact. Should Lebron just wave the white flag? I don't understand how scoring buckets at high efficiency can be perceived bad.

He's literally the only one that can score right now.

Let me make it clear. He’s the best player there by a mile. He’s not doing something “bad”. It’s just funny how much 40 meant to him today. I guess when your resume is that big, all you have left are small things.
