Only thing that can save Lakers is literally a hand of god taking away his injury becsuse we need him at least at 2020 level to beat this Nuggets team.
However Biology is biology and it’s not likely. AD and Bron need to step up because Rui/Reaves have been big
honestly we would’ve had last game if he didn’t settle. I don’t think we need Lebron at his pure best to win a chip, we just need him making the right plays and hunting mismatches.
Man he looked good as ever pre-injury. That injury literally fucked up everything from his 3pt shot to driving. Fuck, if we had this LeBron we would atleast be 1-1 right now lol, he wouldn’t have missed the wide open dunk and the open layup near the end.
It’s time for LeBron to pull out his LeBron 2 shoes for ankle support.
Hilarious that people will try to tell you that LeBron been playing the same way all year. Mfs that actually watch hoops can tell that he’s compromised because of the foot.
He was doing his all to chase the scoring title. That’s why.
we know he’s injured. it’s clear as day.
but lakers can still win with a 70% lebron. he just need to defend, rebound, and make the right plays. post up, get in the paint. completely stop shooting 3s unless it’s a heat check after like 4-5 makes in a row inside the paint or something.
the team is deep enough not needing him to score 30+.
The only good thing is he’ll be back to this next yr post surgery. His “decline” right now is far more injury related than age related.
That said, through 2 games “this” lebron has been seeking the rim a lot still and is averaging like a triple double lmao. We can win the series and chip w/ this Bron
And people call him washed as if he didn’t put 30-40 pts on their head all year long.
Old age is undefeated.
He’s compromised but that doesn’t excuse settling for the 3s late in game. That’s a tell tale sign of exhaustion.
And this means what at the moment? To subvert hin chucking bad threes? If he plays, he has no excuses.
Cmon yall lebron only missed he dunk Cause it slipped out of his hands an honest mistake nothing to do with the injury lol
WhY DoEsNt He JuSt DrIvE To ThE LaNE FoR 48MiNs
Ham needs to to get some minutes from his bench to save some for their late runs. We’ve seen comebacks from 12 down come easily with Denver’s weak defense. If you can get some rest for Bron during 1-3 quarter should go a long way.
This would be anyone with a foot injury. Tired of hearing that he’s losing his athleticism due to Father Time
Nuggets can’t stop LeBron in the post… this series would be far closer if it was pre injury LeBron
This is what I been tryna say too bro. He needs that surgery this off-season. I just hope he can back to who he was next season
Fuck injuries man
Can we please stop pretending he has a foot injury and what we are seeing isn’t age? Huge Bron, fan, but damn we are delusional when it comes to him. He’s older and lost a step/his hop; it happens.
I guess he wasnt really the lebron james of foot doctors 😔
If he saw the LeBron James of feet here in the US, he better be seeing the Michael Jordan of foot surgery in Germany. I want to assume since its legal over there, he opts to receive stem cell treatment.
So this is the cope of why he misses wide open layups and shoots contested 3s? Lol
Even with compromised LeBron I feel confident that we can go for a chip. Especially if Miami advances. Gotta take care of Denver though, guys gotta make every possession count. Losing by 5&6 points in both games comes down to focus at the end of the day.
Thanks, i needed see this
“Was”
Actually would like him to stop dunking so much. Kobe was dunking on everybody again in 2013 and we know how that turned out. He can throw down but it’s extra wear and tear on a older body
Yeah.
​
Let lebron/ad get surjery, lets finish next season number 1 seed w/ home court and see how it shakes out.
​
If we lose and denver wins the title, idk. We had a good season. Not like we got blown out we could SO EASILY BE 2-0 RIGHT NOW.
​
We can come back stronger next year. Yes ad/lebron a bit older but they recover from injuries and d’angelo, austin rui arent even in their prime yet. They gonna level up.
