tired of hearing this narrative that if the team struggles when lebron goes to the bench, that's an indication of his greatness. no, it's not. It's more of an indication of poor roster construction. If the team around lebron was truly a great team, lebron should be able to go to the bench and the offense should still operate at a high level without him on the floor.
Was chilling with my guy on the phone after a long Christmas night. Really dope to see my Guy Jason with the real hoops. Man I love it here
Serious question. Does ham use analytics in creating his lineups? Bc that 5 guard lineup was just cringe
Another Christmas classic. That Lebron defense coming in clutch for me.
You’re knowledge of the game is amazing bro
stop dreaming men unless Lakers add one more top 10 player no role players with 38 old leader can work in 6 month nba marathon. Davis isnt even clear will comeback any time soon. Lakers Gm would be idiot sacrifising even more picks in this useless lakers roster
WHEN LABRICK PLAY ON THE FLOOR THEY LOSE. WHEN LABRICK IS NOT IN THE GAME AND AD IS PLAYING WITH RUSS STARTING THE WIN .. THIS FAKE COMMENTATOR MUST BE BE GETTING PAID TO LIE FOR LAKERS .
To put it in perspective, somehow this game the Lakers got scored by 30 POINTS in 1 qtr and Lebron still had a plus/minus of +2. Westbrook, on the other hand, played a game with 0 turnovers and had a plus/minus of -30. That’s insane. So when Jason says that Westbrook doesn’t consistently contribute to winning, THATS EXACTlY what he means. If the Lakers have ANY wings with size in their G League system, they need to bring them up. If nothing else to help on the defensive side. Ham is criminal with these 3 and 4 guard lineups lol
The lakers roster sucks they even played 5 gaurds on the court at once and they arent even 5 shooting gaurds they couldnt finish possessions either and the amount of second chance points dallas got made the game completely pointless Lakers had no chance..
Say what you want they trade all their peices for AD made your bed now lay in it…. 29 other team in the nba more than enough needs help but HAAAAAA let's just focus on the Lakers. This is exactly why no teams wants to help them and can't blame them. DEAL WITH IT
When can we all just acknowledge Russ is a liability
I feel so bad for LeBron 🙁 LeBron getting AD was supposed to be him passing the torch. I think we can all agree as ridiculous as it is LeBron at 38 is still a top 10 player in the NBA but he can't be the best player on the planet playing this many minutes like he as for so long at this advanced age. If AD could god damn stay healthy this Lakers team would be a top 10 team easily. This is obviously because we know what AD is but if LeBron could only play 25-28 mins a night for 64 games out of the year to load manage a bit because of his age this team would be very scary come playoffs but instead AD can't stay healthy and they're probably not even going to make the play in 💀
Ironically the lakers are the most talked about irrelevant team in terms of competing
This guy actually telling lies 😆 🤣. Tf. Lakers have a better wr% with out lebron. Lebron is playing terrible. His season plus minus is not positive. Top 5? Then ad must be god. Walker, russ, ad, reeves, shrodder, bryant, brown jr. All good players. Put lbj on dallas he still "doesnt" have help
Lebron is the 18th most effecient player in the NBA. That's very good, but he used to be #1. However, will Lebron even be in the top 25 next year at playoff time? Probably not. So yeah….trade, but making a meaningful trade is much easier said than done.
Listen the lakers is just a terrible team. No better way to put it. I watched this match… a very bad shooting night for the Mavs and still lakers come out with an L? I have said it and will still say it. Disband the entire team already and just keep lebron.
LeBron James is this generation’s Wilt Chamberlain. More remembered for his incredible feats versus him being an dominating champion.
I don't care what anyone says Lebron is still a better player than Luka. Just doesn't have anything around him. Put him on a contender he'd be in the MVP conversation. Unbelievable how great he still is
Mavs role players suck if you actually watch their games. They are famous for their inconsistency.
Lebron's defense was essential in another Lakers win – Hail Lebron
lebron is amazing, lebron is great.. sure great stapadder, have you seen him D? all his energy were reserve in offense chasing kareem… and he should carry the team during the clutch and stop being passive as always… mj and kobe would love that time of the game, lecoward doesnt have killer instinct…
Man now save LeBron and trade him somewhere🙈🤣
Man if the Lakers organization sat down and watched all these sports shows and read the comments, we’d have a deal done this afternoon. Rob Pelinka needs to be fired for what he’s obviously intentionally doing to Lebron. Did you see his stat line last night ??? And still lost
LeBron wasn't amazing, he's literally became a walking offensive foul pushing players to get passed them and the refs never call it
AAAH😎….!!, YEAH…….!!, YO……………………!!, ℹ️ THINK💭………!!, JASON TIMPT😎 IS 💯% PERCENT CORRECT WITH HIS🙋🏻♀️ ANALYSIS 🧐 OF NBA🏀BASKETBALL🏀 GAMES PEOPLE 😎🇺🇸
Omg nobody cares about the lakers they suck
..so,if la loses its everybodys fault,if they win its lebrons game?smh..
The way you protect lebron is hilarious. The Mavs got open shots because of the Lakers playing small having to double team. The only guy on the court that has three size and speed to defend Luka straight up. Hides guarding reggie Bullock
Don't always agree with ya, but I appreciate the hell outta the hustle!
5+ is not "killing".
Those corner 3’s off the wood And Doncic PNR was just a killer reeves and Schroeder chased and just weren’t big enough on the court to effect any shots. Why Ham didn’t play Jones even with his struggles is beyond me, he could have alleviated some of the PNR problems in the second half
Either Russ is playing ok or he is a complete disaster but they won’t trade him
RUSS AINT THE REASON THEY SUCK
Maxi had a torn hamstring I think. He’s just had a good surgery but will be out for the next four months 🙁
What, why? Is Harden not welcome in Pilly strip clubs anymore?
