LeBron looking sharp as ever going into year 20 🤦🏽♂️ He’s worked so hard but also smart to make it to this point. We are seeing something never before done everytime he steps on the floor nowadays because the ability is so elite at such a deep stage in a career.

only 32 teams in 442 playoff series in NBA history have ever comeback from being down 2-0 before. Lebron has done it 3 times:
1. 2007 Pistons down 0-2. His generational series when he ran off 25 straight.
2.2016 finals against a 73-9 team.
3. 2018 Celtics were 40-0 when up 2-0
Cole Swider on Max Christie having another growth spurt this past year: “I’m not lying… he’s tall as FUCK now.”
The 20 yr old Christie arrived in LA at only 6’5. Now he's rumored to be 6’9
Pick and roll with Bron and AD what every fan says they want (AD to get the ball). But its broken up by Nurkic sagging off russ. AD not open on the roll. Bron kicks to russ and he misses the 3.
"The Lakers ain't gonna make no run. Kawhi Leonard ran 'em out of the building last night... Kawhi sent them a message last night. He's the king of LA."

Russ can't share the floor with LeBron. It's clear as day.
That's the issue. So maximize his minutes with LeBron off the floor and playing with one of the two superstars.
@pickuphoop
I'm only sharing this to verify the everybody brings the ball up philosophy thing. This is from from preseason game 2, October 6th. Make of this what you will:
Anthony Davis said that Frank Vogel wants him bringing the ball up the floor and pushing the pace more off of rebounds, when appropriate, as we saw at times today. AD said that the general rule is that any player other than Dwight/DJ can bring the ball up.
Most FTA in a game this season:
1. Suns (vs Warriors) - 52
.
.
.
2. Cavs (vs Warriors) - 43
3. Magic (vs Pacers) - 42
4. 76ers (vs Pistons) - 41
5. 76ers (vs Blazers) - 40
Suns’ 52 are the most attempts in a game by ANY team this decade.
"I was told that lebron was severely struggling with that foot injury he has its something that's been nagging him for a few weeks already but it gets to points where it just gets unbearable and he plays through it and he was really struggling with that foot ... sometimes it
schroder was a non-factor offensively and murray was just in a zone on O and cooked mostly everyone. dlo was a non-factor. vando didnt have anyone to guard and no offense. it was only 4 guys that really held up in this series : Lebron AD Rui and Reaves
“Nobody on the Lakers can guard Ja Morant”
Never forget when LeBron lock down Kawhi and PG in one possession to secure the Lakers win. 🤣
Stop the 🧢 Grizzlies fans.
1. Vogel is gone bc he couldn't coexist with russ.
2. Udoka is gone because of his own misgivings.
3. Nurse was hinting about his exit half-way through the season that was mutual.
4. Budenholzer is gone bc he got outcoached
5. Monty bc new owner syndrome+b2b blowouts/no shows
2019 NBA Finals: Warriors (Kerr) vs. Raptors (Nurse)
2020 NBA Finals: Lakers (Vogel) vs. Heat (Spoelstra)
2021 NBA Finals: Suns (Williams) vs. Bucks (Budenholzer)
2022 NBA Finals: Warriors (Kerr) vs. Celtics (Udoka)
5 of those 8 coaches are gone. 3 of the 4 winners are gone.
Not necessarily a knock on Lebron but the quote is that he’s tired of losing
While the numbers he’s put up are great, this offense is counterproductive to winning. No player movement and ball movement is being enforced. Just iso
Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts
Thomas Bryant demanded a trade and he hasn't even been getting real tick on the nuggets. the grass isn't always greenier. regardless he'll probably get paid and has a chance to compete for a chip which is good

The Lakers went 57-0 when they had the lead at the start of the fourth 💪
They're the first team to not lose a game all season after starting the fourth quarter with the lead in the shot clock era (1954-55).
@hmfaigen
"he had more power than Kobe ever had", now he's suddenly "not operating from a position of strength", the different narratives surrounding lebron change from week to week man.
@TomerAzarly
@JJMaples55_MST
Lakers have no real backline help besides Lebron. Teams used to hunt AD when bron was out, draw him away from the basket with no help there
Stanley johnson, THT's, reaves jumpers I want to see improve the most. they have the most defensive upside so getting those to more respectable numbers would be great
