@@Drogas3653 People are so tunnel visioned about offense when it comes to discussing the NBA. Kyrie is unquestionably one of the best offensive talents in the NBA. He is so good in fact that people are willing to risk all his bullshit at the gamble he can be an adult for just one season. Kyrie record outside of lebron's shadow has not just been unstoppable offense...he is pretty unstoppable at ruining a locker room, getting offended, behaving selfishly, souring a Fan base, and then running to the next one.
LBJ is famous for his basketball intelligence. Plenty of proof from previous interviews and even stories shared by teammates. So it shouldn't be surprising that he's able to describe plays and player attributes.
If anyone has had serve ankle injuries knows how long it takes to fully heal, years , this is from my experience, they take forever to have no pain, it's toughest injury imo bc u have to walk everywhere and when u have pain in ankle it feels much much harder, and his very demotovational, so this also explains lebrons mental toughness
Calm down guys it was one game they have to least win five in a row. Love what I saw last night. Guys wasn't just standing around to see what LeBron is going to do they were actually taking that own shots whether they were making them or not, ex Mamba. However consistency is the password
I have never been a fan of how Rob constructs the roster around Lebron but I gotta give him credit here. The Lakers came out of the trade deadline better than I ever could've expected. I think DLo gives us a lot of what Kyrie would've given us, but with 99% less baggage. And we picked up solid shooters, defenders and size. It may be too late for a playoff run but at least the rest of the season will be fun to watch. And we are well positioned for the offseason. A lot more flexibility.
They def came out of the deadline better i was happy to see and I'm going to say this now I think lakers have potential win conference and championship
The 38 yo man should not be carrying the team and averaging 30ppg. The heavy burden now may be lifted, but he is still required to win it all. Hopefully one more championship before the retirement.
@@Bigdre954 i started watching Kobe in 09. That was the last year he still threw down ridiculous dunks for no reason frequently. No one asked but just thought id share 😂
The Lakers may not make the playoffs (or play-in). Other teams ahead of them are going to have to start losing. I think the Lakers will jump over Utah and Portland because of their schedules. But the Pelicans, Thunder, Warriors, Mavericks, and/or Timberwolves are going to have to lose a few games in a row while the Lakers win a few, and there is no guarantee of that. The Lakers team is better, but because of their place in the standings, it may not matter...
@DaHokage AD was playing and Portland is not a good team. So that's a game they should've won, with or without LeBron. Giving up games like that is the reason they're in 13th place...
he does, just in spurts lol he can’t do it every possession anymore he’s too old for allat. During the playoffs tho he definitely locks in defensively..
Defense is hard ! It takes lots and lots of stamina ! At 38 there's not too much defense stamina left in the tank . Bron gotta rest up a bit and reload. Don't want 38 Getting injured
@@73calebk4 next year bro, its too late this year, they need 2 more elite wing defense + shooter. This team is setup like Bucks but Holdiay and Middleton is stronger than Dlo and AD.

I don’t get what was the difference because remember when Russ came off the bench and we beat Denver the whole world was hyped?? Now it was Russ fault and they win one or two games and now it’s a difference😂😂 can’t make this up
The only thing I will say is that lebron has class but you can't tell me that this man didn't change the perception of russ (yes russ played bad as well) and the value of russ because before russ came to the lakers he was helping teams make the playoffs AD sorry soft ass is also to blame for this due his inability to be available I would have never signed AD to that contract
I'm really interested to see what route they go with D Lo. Do they give him the extension soon which allows them to continue to acquire quality depth or do they get Kyrie and fill out the roster with vet minimum players.
I think they should extend him sooner rather then later and build more around this group. When AD is healthy he’s great and in addition with D lo this team could be great. Just need some more vets with playoff experience who can still contribute. Like Jae Crowder, Pj Tucker, players like that.
Saluting the guys that were moved out before addressing the new guys was a class move, can't say I'm surprised.

We need Obama as assistant coach tbh

They could still upgrade for Kyrie in the summer. If Kyrie wants to sign i think they won't offer Dlo.
