LeBron James Discussion: Not Returning To The Lakers

Under the weather and nursing a sore foot. Sounds like he's in need of a couple of games off to me. That being said, Cleveland is the next game up, he'll probably get up 25-30 shot attempts Sunday. We'll just have to ride with it I guess. Darvin needs to at least get in his ear, about making sure AD is getting more touches while he's going through this spell. Lebron was totally on board with "running the offense through AD" during the off-season. Let's put that into practice a little more moving forward please sir.

 

That should have been a monster game for Anthony. We just got caught up into Utah 's preferred style of play last night. They were knocking down everything for stretches of that game though. Hats off to them.

 

Ham was not happy after that Utah game and rightfully so. Utah was shooting really well and we did nothing to cool them off. He also wasn't accepting excuses in saying if you lace them up be ready to play. I think we might see some of these things you have been talking about put into action soon. Hoping anyway. I'm just going to leave my Lebron frustration at that so I don't end up repeating the same thing in every thread...lol.

 

Where's the jumper gone?

 

Father Time took it in the commercials.

 

Lebron is playing very poorly and I’m disappointed. But yeah, he has legitimately been officiated very poorly.

The silver lining to his struggles is that a big factor in that has been his shooting woes. And over the past few years, Lebron has won me over and made me a believer in his abilities as a shooter. Obviously he’s not an elite three point sniper that you should rely on to be your highest volume shooter, but he’s much better then he’s been so far this year. Not just the three point shot, but the midrange shot as well. And the way he typically gets his jump shots, I don’t really see it as something that you can attribute to athletic decline.

So I have to think he’ll find his rhythm with his jump shot again, hopefully sooner rather than later. And I think that will open a lot more of the rest of his game. When defenders can’t sag off him from the perimeter and have to play him up close, he should get some better driving opportunities.

 

cry me a river



has there ever been a more unlikeable star? And he's my favorite player.

 

Trade him for Kyrie. At this point, it really doesn’t matter. This version of the Lakers is broken.

 

I wonder if Ham has quickly changed his stance on AD hoisting up the most threes he’s ever shot in a season?
So far, it doesn’t look like he’s going to get there.

 

3 of the starters would be end of bench guys on a good team, the bench is full of gleaguers (not counting brick)....great reciepe for success Rob!

 

Its what happens when you wear a Laker jersey

 

The refs judge Lebron and the Lakers hard cause they don’t want to appear biased for them. So many people cry and assume we get all the calls that the league cant even afford to give us 50/50 calls.

 

For a guy of his caliber, he never gets the calls he deserves IMO. You can't breathe on some of these guys, while Lebron gets hacked repeatedly without a call..a lot.

 

Maybe he should stop crying every single time a call doesn’t go his way?
He should have learned by now that the refs don’t like that behavior.

 

he's been doing that his entire career

luka is 10x worse though
