Well, frontcourts used to be bigger back then than since 2015. James had to face some massive frontcourts (KG/Perkins, Duncan/Splitter, West/Hibbert) and that's simply not the case after 2013.
this may be part of it but lebron played against the same frontcourt a year later in 2014 amd seemed to have much less issues against their packed interior defense
and i dont think heat sans lebron got better offensively in 2014 by any big amount

Glad to hear that AD’s tum-tum is feeling better, and he can play.

Won't be catching Kareem. Too many injuries.

Shams reported that AD’s mommy made him a choccy milk and chicken tendies and now his tummy feels good enough for him to play.

Why can no one on the Lakers throw an entry pass to AD.

LaMelo looks to be a better player right now. Westbrook is pure garbage.

This looks like literally the worst team in the league without Bron. Unreal

Westbrook goes out and trash can Rondo comes in and gets 5 assists in a few minutes and the defense gets better even with turnstile Monk and and Ellington out there.
Kudos to the Lakers’ scouting department—Reeves looks like a rotational player. I would have love to see him with Caruso and KCP out there.

Melo's 3pt shooting has swung 4 games already this season

If Melo was an average defender he would be a sought after commodity. His numbers will come back down to earth but he's surely going to be shooting above 40% from 3 on the season.

I don't think of any the trades brought up on this forum will happen, which saddens me
Idk who would trade for him

Westbrook is -20. Rondo is +20
Lakers were up 14 in the 4th quarter and up 110-101 with 3+ minutes left and gave the Hornets three technical fouls (delay of game, Westbrook, ‘Melo).

Is it just me or are teams HUNTING Ad on the switch this year and even last? Got isod by Terry then posted up by Plumlee. I rarely remember that happening in 2020. Might not always be successful now but it seems it is a lot of times and no one is scared of him

Re: The LeBron James - 21-22 Regular Season Thread
Pelinka better be on the phone RIGHT NOW to look into Russ trades
We can't win with him, he is awful
If Lebron can win with this BUM, then his case as the GOAT is more clear to me
