Fact of the matter is no new coach deserved what JJ got and it was straight degenerate sht to kick a rookie coach when he was at his lowest. 'Let's scapegoat the new coach to show how much the old coach was scapegoated'. Same thing they did with Bronny and it was straight classless. 19 year old rookie. Rules of decency go out the window when Lebron is involved. Was actually at one point convinced Bronny wasn't a g-league basketballer because one made the mistake of giving the talking heads the benefit of the doubt and assuming they weren't clueless and had actually covered his game extensively. Keeping him over Olivari was straight up the right decision.

All the scumbags in the media have been dead silent for months since Bronny has been hooping in the G League too. Is he a future superstar, no, but you’d have thought LeBron committed war crimes with the way they reacted to the Lakers picking him late in the second round.

45% on deep three(27 foot or more) for LeBron this year,the best in the league with at least 100 attempts

Luka just Hardened Harden.

The luxury of having a star who creates offense as comfortably as Luka is such a welcome change from AD.

2nd Seed Lakers, even as a die hard homer didn't think this record pace was possible with final year Anthony Davis.

Still a lot to clean up as a team but VERY happy to see a good shooting night from Luka.

16-3 in their last 19 games and there’s still a lot of room for improvement. LeBron and Luka have really only had a couple games where they both played well.

Domination from Luka this game. Fantastic to see.

Milestone/close to record Lebron = Worst version of Lebron.

Surely we can all agree Ham cost LeBron at minimum one ring now right? Good god.

No, neither 2023 nor 2024 teams were good enough

Zero fluidity in the half court so far between the two

A chinchilla would look like a great coach compared to Ham.

I mean, D'angelo Russell was their starting point guard. Even with good coaching it's hard to overcome that.

That dude started a line up of Taurean Prince, Cam Redish, Vanderbilt with LeBron and AD while sitting Reaves, Russell, Rui and Christie. I think he’d have invented ways to **** up if given a long enough leash.

Dalton is nowhere as bad as his numbers and if you look close always plays closer to form when elevated to 3rd/4th option. Still a worse defender, but if you pull up the spreadsheets his shooting ceiling potential gives way more value for a guy making what he makes. You get 3 years to cheat the system and convert anyone else not named Reaves to real 2 way starter or a star in their role type big.

Hindsight: Would you trade Luka back to Dallas for Anthony Davis?
