LeBron James 2021-22 Regular Season Thread - Part ?

[Greatness]

No way he makes these

[falcolombardi]

lakers really needed this game to gain some momentum

rip

[yoyoboy]

There's no chance he makes all three lmao. Zero.

[trickshot]

Even when they play really well luck isn't on their side. How many bounces can go the Warriors way?

It's not all luck, Warriors play on their toes. It's going to look that way but they are always ready to pounce. A true benefit of going small unlike the Lakers who can't shoot and are lazy in their small lineups.

How is it not lucky when a tipped pass by Curry goes right into Klay's hands for a 3, or Poole shooting such an ugly shot off the backboard it careens off the backboard into another Klay 3?

First one was luck, second one wasn't all luck. When the ball eft his hand Warrior players were already attacking the boards and it put them in position to capitalise. It would have been so easy to switch off. You'd think they were the defensive team the way they put more effort than the Lakers collectively on that rebound. Did anyone even box out?

[dreamshake]

How do you not sub Dwight in when you have to get a FT rebound?

Lakers played well. At this point the season isn't about winning each game, it's about playing good basketball to prove that they can get something going in the playoffs.

LeBron and Anthony Davis look like a couple of bums who were out enjoying Super Bowl festivities in the off days. These guys have mailed it in.

This was embarrassing to watch.

It's not about the outcome, they aren't competing for a top seed.

[homecourtloss]

The loss on LeBron’s shoulders but he was bound to have a bad shooting game. 2-16 to finish and then the FT misses. This win would have been a big momentum starter but there was a some good things there.

—Russ off the ball not forcing things and playing under control. I hope the trade deadline gets him playing decently.

—LeBron played like **** in the second half but Lakers led 109-103 with 3:30 left.

—The ORebs and FTs killing them again. A few FTs and a few DRebs and they could have won this by double digits. They actually could have won both games this year vs. the Warriors.

They're the 9 seed right now, it's at least a little about winning games.

The team played hard, but LeBron and AD looked impaired. I do not think they played well at all.

Just an average game from one of them and the Lakers win that game.

That’s a good step forward for this **** team. LeBron and AD have played well and they’ve lost. Westbrook plays well and it takes a lot to lose including bad luck. Win would’ve been big but I think they can capitalize on some things. THT looks decent out there.

They aren't dropping out the play-in and they aren't making it out of it. At this point it's about showing something positive.

Lol same thing i said to myself. I was like id rather have the ball out of bounds there.. everyone knew he would miss at least 1.

Had the lakers ML too. Ugh. So close

Yeah but that's all I care about. LeBron and AD are more often on than off, the rest of the team has barely looked this good once all season.

There's a pretty big difference between being the #8 and the #9 seed.

[trickshot]

It's like the Warriors of old. They will at least win a game in every series surprising opponents with their hustle alone. Lebron said in 15 or 16 there's no simulating in practice what it feels like to defend the Warriors. They have a way of making you feel like the heavens are on their side.

[IG2]

That's the worst qtr of basketball I've ever seen LeBron play. He literally did everything wrong. 3 pts on 1-9 FG and 3 turnovers. It was disgusting to watch. GS had no business winning this game.

[zimpy27]

I'm liking THT more and more recently.

[MartinToVaught]

Anthony Davis cannot be trusted this game.

That blown uncontested rebound (leading to a Warriors three), missed ft and blown shot at the basket were costly.

I've said it before, but AD might be the softest dude LeBron's played with. He really checked out on his career after one bubble ring.
