THE HERD | Colin reacts to LeBron exits early as Lakers surrender 19-point lead and fall to Kings

Gracious up 19 in the first quarter against I watched it early and I thought uh I was driving driving home I listened to the first quarter I was listening to John Ireland and they were crushing him I was blow out okay so uh Lebron left the game in the fourth quarter listen

I’m I’m not saying there’s no ankle injury I watched LeBron closely Colin fourth quarter he was so pissed at his team he didn’t get in the Huddle sat at the end of the bench everybody’s huddling I didn’t see anybody WR about this I’m watching it in the arena I’m

Like I got it on my phone I’m watching LeBron just sitting on the end of the bench that’s not happy mad with his teammates or Darin ham I think it’s Darvin ham and the coach tried to sub LeBron out in the second half when they’re like down 17 LeBron’s like no

I’m not coming out and he had to switch the sub to ruie LeBron just didn’t he was like we’re not losing to these guys Anthony Davis was okay anyways here’s Lebron after the game about his injury was just my ankle it’s just what I’ve been what I deal with before the break

After the Break um just managing as best way I can you know played the whole third sat a little bit to start the fourth and uh you know when I got back in it kind of just you know whatever it’s just some been dealing with some games is better than others I didn’t

Feel it at all versus OKC um and I didn’t feel it at all into the fourth quarter tonight so it just each game each day is different POS quite possibly the craziest stat I’ve seen this NBA season Anthony Davis head-to-head against deas sabonis is 0 and9 what I

I it was stat Muse and all these people put it out there he is getting bodied sabonis had a triple double in the third quarter last night Anthony Davis in foul trouble complaining this was a really crummy sabonis really isn’t an offensive player he’s a rebounder and a Defender

All around and the Lakers could not stay in front of fox and Malik monk Malik monk looked like Michael Jordan last night no monk has those weird games Fox volcanic yeah well Daren Fox’s a great player he’s one of the 12 15 best players in the league so I had said said

For a long time I I wouldn’t trade Austin Reeves for Trey young or Donovan Mitchell or anything um I love Austin Reeves he got abused by dear Fox I mean it was bad like Fox he’s a lefty you know he’s going left and he’s got like

Three Lefty layups in a row dear Fox is an elite top 15 player Austin Reeves is the fourth most talented Lakers I say third but I digress I love that you go to the game and got a reality check on Austin Reeves dearon Fox what did he

Finish with 44 or something like that I think career high 44 I mean and Malik monk got whatever he wanted well Malik monk has those knives he’s a very by the way D’Angelo Russell next time you want to call him the third best Laker watch him closely for five minutes so what

You’re telling me last night is Reeves stunk ad stunk and DLo stun LeBron LeBron got hurt well no wonder they lost well no no no LeBron was amazing I think he had I don’t know the numberb he was unbelievable passing everything and this was one of those performan from the

Lakers you’re like how did they just smoke OKC and now they get destroyed by the king they better not face the kings in the playoffs that’s all I’ll say it’s a bad match up well the Kings have a nice starting five I mean Barnes Murray sabonis dearon Fox they

Have good players Barnes and red velvet were so bad in the first quarter they played like sparingly and it was like the Malik monk show man he I don’t know Kings look good this one game I don’t want to overreact but ad bro bad J mck with

I think Luca is far more James Harden than Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan he’s far more mellow than a championship player um like LeBron James or Steph Curry so now the Mavericks are playing very poorly they’ve lost five of seven there was a headline in the athletic today the Mavericks should be better

Than this they’re running out of time no they should not be better than this this is what they are they are awful defensively because when you’re too most gifted players Kyrie and Luca have no real e defense of effort they they don’t have any interest being great Defenders they just don’t it creates

Resentment most great teams best players D wayer LeBron and Miami MJ Scotty Pippen in Chicago Isaiah in Detroit even Larry Bird not a great defender male was male was long great rebounder Robert Parish bird was a willing Defender Kobe Bryant a willing defend Tim Duncan a great defender find me the

Championship teams where your top two players have no interest in playing defense the other problem is all their offense is is LCA and threes they get no points in the paint like near the bottom of the league in points in the paint there’s also no proof that Kyrie winning

Really matters to him I mean he had a very promising situation in Boston blew it up had a great team in Cleveland blew it up and yes Luca is a great scorer but he leads the NBA in usage rate in fact it’s the most usage in league

History MJ finally Phil Jackson came in MJ finally figured it out and MJ wasn’t a point guard but Phil basically said got to include others got to trust others and I’ve said from the beginning I think Luca is much more James Harden than Michael or Kobe Michael or Kobe

Stressed defense were not only willing defenders in their Prime Michael was the best on ball defender in the league and they wanted the ball in crunch time but Kobe and MJ paced themselves deferred to others early in the game when it was a big end of the clock situation end of

The half end of a quarter end of a clock end of the fourth overtime that was different but either Luca changes or nothing will I have never bought into this there is a line in this athletic Story by the writer here it is huge offensive performances from Luca aren’t resulting in

Wins D donic unfortunately is one of the reasons even in a scheme that attempts to hide his defensive shortcomings Luca cannot be a nonparticipant find me the championship teams where your best and often second best player have no real interest in defense you can’t be this good of an

Athlete offensively you can say what you want about joic joic is a better Defender than he gets credit for he is he’s not a great defender nobody thinks he’s Giannis nobody thinks he’s an all-time great big defensively but he’s a willing Defender he also has Gordon on

That team who’s a much better Defender and they and they grind it out go look at the Nuggets they grind it out as a top five NBA defense ESP especially late when it BS I do not I’ve been watching basketball since the 70s every great team I’ve ever watched can shut you down

When they have to you know the Warriors Steph may have not been a great defender Draymond was Clay his prime was they brought in Andre Iguodala Kevin Durant has been a long and willing Defender Mark Jackson’s teams were built on offense but Steve Kerr knew the value of

It because he coach maybe the best defensive team I’ve ever seen in Michael Jordan and Scotty pippet and Dennis Rodman’s Bulls so I Jason kid talked this week about Luca stepping up defensively does Luca need to be better defensively we all do we all do it’s you

Know when you look at leaning on Luca offensively and which we do um and he delivers um we have to be able to cover him and uh and cover not just Luca but cover Kai um and the other three that are out there have to protect each other it’s not just one-on-one

That the the players are too good in this league to just play one-on-one who’s he talking about players are too good in this league to just play one-on-one J mck
