LeBron might have suffered a non-contact injury

Hopefully nothing serious - Limping pretty heavily before taking that FT

Ham starting a replacement level player. The season is close to over

Lakers destroyed that zone out of that timeout with AD catching a body.

Yeah, he seems fine (and quite spry) now

P.S. Keyonte’s playmaking looks great for your Jazz. He will be a very solid player once the scoring follows suit

I don’t think this team’s bad. They have talent.

But how on earth are you this sloppy on the glass? What on earth do you want to be your identity and value proposition?

Sometimes, trying to build a ’Versatile’ roster leaves you with holes and some gaps.. and some of those are clearly being put the light right now. Deplorable to be 0-3 and down 8 at the half on this road trip.

Coaching matters. You can't have someone making genuinely insane decisions at the helm.

It’s **** disappointing. This is coming from one of the posters in this thread most willing to defend AD

AD’s such a bum. He’s been an utter disappointment since they won the title in 2020. LeBron’s a month away from 39 and still easily the best player on the Lakers. AD should be embarrassed but he’ll probably just go home and hop on Xbox.

Christian Wood is a really good scorer and Ham barely uses him. Just mindboggling incompetence.

The Lakers win comes down to Keita Bates Diop shooting like Cam Reddish while Cam Reddish shot like not Cam Reddish
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord
