Ball bros luck

Welp. Glad I watched a good number of Thunder games already this season in which SGA played since I don’t think we’ll be seeing much of him on the court until next season.

 

[sohi 23]

Bron probably misses out on an all nba team now.

 

[pmatic]

How many games will Lebron possibly miss?

Probably 8-10 games minimum.

Lakers could use a guy like Rust to fill that absence

 

[antidope]

Wow. Lakers are done. That’s a shame

 

[keko jones]

8 ppg tell me all I need to know. I've watched games of all the legends of the past. HE WASN'T ON THE LIST.

Funny you are using this argument but refuse to accept 6 rings are better than 4 or PPG vices total points.

Lmao .. another fraud!

 

[ill steelo]

The Pels have really lost 19 of their last 26

Most of those were without both BI & Zion so you’d expect that but still they’re 3-9 since BI has been back.

They were basically .500 after the CJ trade last year so that’s the bar, but it doesn’t help that the league is unusually deep this year Only the bottom 2 teams in the East & West are terrible. So the Pels are in a dogfight most nights. Current 4 game skid - Raps, Knicks, Magic, new-look Lakers. None of those are bad losses.

Lakers have AD, not Randle and RJ. They'll be fine. No excuses.

 

[JD617]

Bron needs to go back to these when he comes back. These things are indestructible.

Hopefully lebron can come back healthy next season. No use risking it for this season. Load up in the off season and make a final run

At them. Everyone wants him to feel better. We also want the AD lead lakers held accountable

 

[rolaholic]

 

[storm2006]

Top 75 player all time. Rich said he could do what Giannis did. Why should we not hold him accountable?

Oh, he should definitely be held accountable. I am just not sure why folks ACTUALLY have high hopes he will come through. I don't really like to speculate but if it is 2+ weeks and 8-10 games minimum then it's a wrap at this point IMO with the tight standings.

Bron carried a significantly worse roster to .500 when AD had to miss a month, so you’re not wrong

Minny & Portland will definitely keep losing, probably the Pelicans too, & possibly Utah.

 

[WASHED KING]

If the Lakers can find a way to somehow win today that would be huge.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Probably 8-10 games minimum.

Not the worst-case scenario for the Lakers, but it ain't pretty/ideal.

AD needs to carry the team. I don't think it'll happen. The Lakers miss the play-in.

 

[keko jones]

Oh my god who opened the Lebron hate thread.

No one and I mean, absolutely no one mentioned Jordan or Lebron but somehow you equated Cooper and JJ to downing Lebron.

Stop it you weirdo!

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

If you ask me...Lebron's title in 2020 means more than any of his other titles.

i wholeheartedly agree

Yes tf he was.

he was a journeyman ppl acting like he was michael redd
