He missed a kickout 3 when Lebron passed up a layup. That's not his fault.

Haven’t seen you all game until now. LeBron is at 40 minutes after dragging this team all game. There is no surprise he’s tired


LeBron had the last game off and the Lakers had a long period of days off in between. No excuses.


Actually being 37 and playing 41 minutes is a good excuse

Russ hasn't been the problem today, THT has. Along with Vogel's dumb rotations.

Don’t think THT played bad, but we played way too many players, no rhythm


Ya I agree. The rotation needs to be cut.

Melo, THT, Gabriel, and Stanley all cant play major minutes


There's a reason the Lakers rotation looked and felt better when they weren't trying to work THT into it. He's simply not ready and a liability to our momentum right now.


He didn’t come in until the 2nd quarter.

We won that quarter by 12. So he wasn’t a liability then.

The 20 point lead was completely lost in the 3rd. He didn’t play that quarter at all.

Was he a liability in the 3rd because his forehead was too big on the bench?

Like watch the games.

Not exactly true. THT offered length to defend BI and CJ. He was +6. Only took 4 shots. He was not the problem.

This team blowing a 20 point lead is enough for me to give up on the season. LeBron could have gone completely cold in the second half and we still won this game. Goes to show, if he’s not scoring, are we? All it was, was LeBron and Monk. That’s it

How was he the problem?

He played the whole second quarter in which we built the 20 point lead. So he wasn’t a negative then.

The 20 point lead was completely lost in the 3rd. He didn’t come in until the 4th.

LOL y’all don’t even watch the games


Russ played a lot of the 2nd quarter too. Heck, they were up by 23 at one point and 20 at the half, so everyone looked good in that quarter.

Clown organization. Clown coach. Clown everything really. This team does not deserve to be in the playoffs. Even if we made it we'd get eviscerated lol. All Pels did was cover Lebron and dared others to beat them. And aside from Monk we had jack (bleep) to counter with lol.

NOT A GOOD TEAM.

What (bleep) excuses? Dude has 39 pts creating open looks for teammates and you're blaming him?

Pathetic man get a grip.


I wouldn't blame him for the loss, but I am disappointed he couldn't/didn't go Superstar and just get us the win. We needed this one.

LeBron "Takes the best care of his body than anyone in NBA History" James, had the last game off, he rested then. The Lakers then had several days off where he also got rest. So again, no excuses. The Pelicans couldn't defend him, but when it got in the trenches, he had no aggression, and passed up layups to dish or took bad threes.

That's NOT what we need, and this is a constant we've seen from LeBron the past two seasons when things aren't going his way. When Rondo was here he called LeBron out on it and he straightened himself out, when Rondo isn't here, he does it whenever and nobody challenges him.

Okay. But you’re saying THT was the problem.

He wasn’t a problem enough because we took a big lead with him in.

The next time he came in was the 4th and the 20 point lead was already cut to 4.

So unless you’re saying he cause issues watching from the bench..idk how you can say he was the problem this game.

This whole +/- thing is getting out of hand. LeBron was a -9. Does that mean he was more of an issue than THT?

.

he was getting blitzed/doubled, played 41 mins, and tweaked his ankle. The defense was a bigger concern.
Again, when the Lakers are up big and momentum was our way, LeBron was taking over the game and they supposedly couldn't defend him. The game gets close and in the 4th Quarter against that same team that can't defend him, he's a non factor and has no aggression.

Follow the leader.
When the leader's being a frontrunner, the team follows suit.

But ultimately, I don't think the loss is on any one person

I don't even understand how bad our defense is as a collective.

Somebody get a damn rebound and play some defense and get some stops.

Ridiculous.

I know you've got a hard on for criticizing Lebron every chance you get. Lebron. created open looks. Created a open corner 3 for Melo who bricked it.

Lets blame Lebron for people missing open looks.

Lebron-Russ and Monk were really good today. .

This was an on brand performance for the team. Can’t even be mad. It is what they’ve shown since preseason. To expect something different is the crazy part.

For someone who expends so much energy defending AD from bad takes, you sure enjoy dishing them out when the target is Lebron.

What is it about this team in the 3rd quarter? Do they lose concentration, get tired legs, take their foot off the gas. WHAT??
