Because he's checked out this season. I know Lebron fans dont wanna hear this but he's a large part of why the Lakers are 1-5. His numbers have been masking his awful energy and defense this season.

LeBron refuses to help out at the rim on defense.

Russ ruined it

Then pathetic play by others

Why does Ryen play? Guy just jacks up shots


That LeBron unit was brutal for 4 or 5 minutes without AD out there.

Ryan plays to space the floor. If he doesn’t take open jumpers he serves no purpose. He came into this game hitting over 50% from 3…let ‘em fly man. Let me fly. Lakers need it to happen.

No he didn't. We played shite for 12 minutes straight that quarter. Not that it got better when he subbed back in. Regular 3Q woes continue.
He's literally sleep walking out there and only trying in like 2 second bursts on offense. Regularly not getting back on D and looking lethargic as hell.. is he sick? He's the guy who's supposed to inspire his team through tough stretches.

To be fair on both sides, he needed a fresh start.

Really rough 4th quarter for LeBron. Got abused on the defensive end, so bad they had to switch him off to put Gabriel on Zion. Then on the other end, just cant drive consistently in the half court anymore. Settling for some really bad long jumpers.

Not liking Lebrons energy at all. Defensively just being slow rotating and ball watching. I understand Zion being too strong and getting buckets on you, when that balls moving elsewhere and you’re just watching it happen, it looks bad. Offensively just iso-ing for a last second pass/shot.
