LeBron In A LeSlump...

"In his last five games, LeBron is averaging 16.6 points a game (down from his 22 for the season) on 39.6% shooting overall and 7.7% from 3 — he has missed his last 19 shots from beyond the arc. That was capped off Monday by a 4-of-16 shooting night (0-of-4 from 3), scoring 10 points with six turnovers on the second night of a brutal back-to-back in Minnesota (having played in Utah Sunday). LeBron James has shot under 45% in each of his last six games, something he has not done since his rookie season"



You know it's bad when Redick is now talking load management....

I hate Lebron almost as much as I hate Woodrow. Actually not Tony Homo but I will leave emotion out of it. Something is not right. This is not normal half ass. This is Jay Cutler half ass.

The opening odds start here
Keep airballing those long baseline threes. Perhaps he will join his boy in the CBA. Oh wait, nevermind.

The guy has a handful of bad games and the haters can't hide their joy, acting like pigs in shit

Watch the video, kane. If not altered, defend it.
I don't even know where to start, but here goes, first off the man he's guarding is going from one baseline to the other, there's no need for Lebron to run after him, he knows where he is on the baseline, if you watch an NBA game you'll see defenders do that all the time. Next, his team gets the ball and immediately heads down court on a fast break, of course the video clip doesn't show the result of the break, but you can see how quick the Suns came back down on the offensive end, so we can safely assume the Lakers took a quick shot on offense, so LeBron didn't feel the need to run down on offense, only to turn around and run back on defense, to not waste energy, he stayed back on defense, this is something that players do many, many times during a game, I mean you can't watch an NBA game and not see a player not run down on offense when his team is on a break, it literally happens all the time. Next, yeah he watches Durant drive to the rim, first off Durant isn't his man, if he was guarding him and did that, that's a problem, but he wasn't guarding Durant, the man he was guarding was off to his right near the baseline, if he leaves him man and moves toward Durant, then Durant can stop and pass it the open man in the corner, the man LeBron should have been guarding. I can 100% promise you that whoever the guy is on Twitter who posted it is another hater. Next, the entire clip stays focused on LeBron, why not show the entire sequence from a wide angle, the reason is, if it was shown on a wide angle, you would be able to see everything I posted, you would see why he didn't run with his man baseline to baseline, why he stayed back on defense, and why he didn't pick up Durant, but that wouldn't make him look bad, so of course the guy shows an isolated LeBron, without seeing the full play, it's easy to take the sequence out of context. Unlike the other haters who won't take the time to read this and realize what I'm saying, I think you will, you at least always try to be fair

LeBron didn't do anything wrong during the entire sequence, everything he did was correctly played, he guarded his man along the baseline the way it's supposed to be done, he stayed back on defense due to his team running a fast break, and he stayed close to his man on the baseline so as not to leave him wide open for a three, Durant wasn't his man, and whoever was guarding him got beat, but that's where a big comes into play, whatever Laker was under the basket protecting the rim would have been responsible for picking up Durant, it wasn't LeBron's responsibility, LeBron did absolutely nothing wrong in the entire sequence that was intentionally taken way out of context but only focusing on him and not showing the entire floor, you guys are pathetic

I don't know about all that. I will do something I rarely do with NBA and watch next Fakers game on TV.

I do know about all that, and LeBron did nothing wrong during the entire sequence. The man he was guarding went from one corner of the floor to the other, along the baseline, there was no need for LeBron to run after him, he knew where he was going, had the ball swung to that side of the floor, you would have seen LeBron move closer to him to be in a position to defend him, once his team got possession, you can see a Laker player head down court on a fast break, we don't know what happened, but it was a quick possession, either they turned it over or got off a shot, either way by the time you see the Suns coming back down of offense the entire Laker possession only took 6 seconds, when the Laker player grabs the ball you can see the shot clock reset to 24, it clicks down to 18 when it resets again, so the possession took 6 seconds, more than likely they got off a quick shot off the fast break, there was no reason for LeBron to run down on offense in that scenario, then as the Suns come down on offense, you can see LeBron's man standing in the corner, once KD beats his man, it's not LeBron responsibility to pick him up, if he does he's leaving a three point shooter wide open in the corner, once KD starts his drive to the basket, it's the responsibility of whichever Laker is protecting the rim to pick up KD and defend the rim, LeBron defended the play the way he was supposed to. I don't care what the ignorant haters think, it makes no difference to them that the entire clip is taken out of context by only isolating LeBron, they don't care that LeBron did nothing wrong during the sequence, they'll just jump on any opportunity to throw hate his way, makes no difference to them how wrong they are

The laziest player to ever play. His first few years there was a lot of hustle and great defense. Then he cut it down to a couple of series each game.

Lebron's lack of effort to put it nicely is why the NBA is struggling with ratings. Started with All Star game and now regular season. kane's defense is yes but so is everybody else. You don't have to go 1980's but stop embarrassing the league. Unless that video is edited so much it's fake, no defense. Pun and literally intended.

1980's when the Fakers, Celtics were still the top 2 teams and Pistons, Bulls were rising was the be best era. Missed the 76ers, though. They were done early 80's. This era is pathetic and it will never be great again. 😔

Brick is definitely pouting over something, probably concerning his son.

Lakers +/- with him on the court is -132 for the season. Last 4 games:

  • December 4, 2024 -21 against Miami
  • December 2, 2024 -28 against Minnesota
  • December 1, 2024: 0 against Utah
  • November 29, 2024 -12 against Oklahoma City

His ass isn't being kissed enough and/or by the right people to induce him into making an effort.

It's not playing bad, it's the not giving a shit that is so pathetic to watch.

Even mentioning this lazy fuck's name with killer studs like Jordan, Magic and Bird should get a person exiled from the country.

There are two teams worst than the Lakers L10, NOLA and WASH. When is Jeannie going to wake up
and realize it's not the coach?

Take the Fakers. They will come out firing max effort. Temporary. Once people have forgotten about Miami game, back to half assing. They went too far.

Trae Young makes three point jump shot (De'Andre Hunter assists)

I see 132-31 Fakers and 134-132 Hawk Tuahs. Has to be Hawk Tuahs based on play by play.
