Lebrick!😅
The stars get the majority of the touches and possessions, so they deserve the credit for wins and the blame for losses. So, it's LeBron and AD who share the blame for the loss, as they wasted many possessions with all those misses. If the guy makes 3 or 4 more shots, they win the game, as they take those possessions away from the Nuggets.
Lebron to blame im sorry
All these excuses for the lebron is crazy
Tbh Jamal Murray was to blame for the Lakers loss. Yeah davis didn't show up and LeBron ran out of gas, darvin ham didn't make adjustments. But Murray straight cooked them in the 2nd half. Jokic is going to get his numbers no matter what. The Lakers have to stop Jamal Murray to win
They need to go big and have somebody to bang with Joker. They don't have Javale and Dwight Howard. But they do have Tristan Thomson that has experience in big games like this and have a big body. A championship pedigree. Darvin Ham needs to play him. Joker doesn't move fast and he doesn't jump.
Basketball IQ . Jocker tried three times for 3 , missed and stopped trying .
I'm the biggest LeBron fan but out of 20 3's, I'm sure to drain more than 1. 1/20 bro. Anyone playing in the comment section can sink at least 2 LeBron. 🙌🏾
Yesssss!!!!! Plz stop shooting
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂…Lakers are 💩 💩 💩 💩
I blame Jokic and the Denver Nuggets for the Lakers loss… because the Nuggets ARE the BETTER TEAM. The Lakers got outplayed twice… about to get outplayed two mo.
LeBron cost them both games. Lakers failed to realize AR is hot in clutch, they should have made plays for him.
Denver is gonna sweep the Lakers
Is the windhorst just ate the other two guys right here
Perk, in order to impose your will, you need energy and power. The Lakers ran out of energy in the fourth quarter (especially Bron) to impose their will on a younger, stronger, and more talented Nuggets team.
If it's not falling in, one would think to pause and rethink what's a better move. Lebron must play into his strength (bully ball) as opposed to just shooting 3s. Lebron's as great as he is makes too many mistakes and turnovers. He was all alone and missed a layoff, and missed another…then shoot those ridiculous 3s. Oh my goodness. Austin was hot and the ball should be given to him a little more as opposed to Lebron's 3s. Give it to the guy with a hot hand.
Let's be honest guys, Nuggets are the better team.
Time To Change The Game And The Roster:
Tristan Thompson Center
Anthony Davis PF (Needs Help Against The Joker)
Vanderbilt SF
Lebron James SG
D'Lo PG
*Simple
I still got the lakers winning this series 🤣
Lebron has run the league for 20 years … everybody unloading on him in the comments is because he sent their favorite player home year after year… y’all been waiting on his downfall … father time is beating Lebron . Not the nuggets . 2018-20 Lebron would be steam rolling this nuggets team.
Lebron should stop shooting 3s and instead drive to the basket.
Leave it to a fat person to argue with nba players about fatigue 😂😂
I’m a lebron fan. But he had me pissed off. Why shoot the 3 when he like 8for 1000(lol) in the playoffs.
Jwills take is because he thinks lebron is one of the greatest of all time he should keep shooting ? That's the most idiotic take I've heard in awhile. And he played the game. Are you kidding me bro. I played sports all my life and you know when you're having an off night. I remember when jordan was having an off night he would create points by going to the hole getting fouled
I swear j will will do anything not to blame lebron
Yeah no their analysis is dead wrong. This loss was definitely on lebron. Terrible decision making down the stretch
