Why don’t you guys complain about LeBron sitting out his 13th game of the season?

Is that AD’s fault too?

I wouldn't want Lebron to play if he's got soreness in the Knee. Wouldn't want him to play against the Hornets if it's still sore.

all of ADs jumpers last season and this season were short, which suggested injury/conditioning. ditto with his free throws. so I knew it'd come back eventually

what I don't understand is where his 3 went. he's completely airballing those after hitting gamewinners in the playoffs

he's a career 33ish% shooter from 3

Just saying, LeBron has only played in 7 more games than AD this season.

But AD is labeled mr. Glass.

LeBron escapes all criticism for this.

I mean honestly we make 2 more threes, 30%, it's a tied game. make or miss league

we run nothing on offense though, and Melo is getting cooked on defense

Man as long as he gets back to being butter from midrange and hitting freethrows im more than happy. He looks great.

There's no other player on the Lakers with Davis' offensive repertoire and capabilities. He's shot like 8 midrange shots in a half, 2 of which were extremely high difficulty. Tomorrow he's not going to do any of that, life is going to be sucked out of him again.

Criticisms for what? Being injury prone?? Watched plenty of people saying Lebron is getting injured a lot lately. Seen plenty of people on this forum say the same thing.

AD is labeled MR.Glass because 5-10 times a game he looks like he's either shattered his leg or arm.

What? Why wouldn't he keep up this play?

If Lebron plays, Davis isnt the focus on offense. You think he'd be taking 13 shots had Lebron been playing tonight?
