    LeBron is an absolute beast and force of nature whenever he turns the switch on and decides to turn it up. He’s an unstoppable force of nature.

    More screener/PnR ballhandler Bron led to more success for the Lakers offense. It’s a heavier load on Bron’s legs but that’s putting the Lakers in the best position to succeed. Just have to manage the minutes intelligently, but no way was 29 minutes ever going to hold up. We say it shouldn’t be this way in Bron’s 21st season and the Lakers shouldn’t be this reliant upon him, but it is truly a testament to how great he remains more than anything.

    Great players like Bron are ceiling raisers. They’re pretty important, to put it mildly, to the success of any team.

      To be fair bron does take up a third of the team’s cap space, we can’t say he shouldn’t be relied on when a bulk of the team’s resources are spent on him

    Bias suns fan here… Lebron having to carry the load against the suns and they didn’t have Booker or Beal. YIKES especially since 8 of the players who played tonight weren’t on the same team last year!

    Durant was far better the whole game

    Not in the 4th quarter he wasn’t.

    I normally watch highlights after a win but I feel like I’ll be sick watching anything from the first three quarters lol

    LeBron’s layup is near unguardable. The man is 38 built like a tank driving down towards anyone’s chest.

      That’s why Skip always goes off because Bron doesn’t do it enough at the end of games

        I keep thinking that Lebron should just rest until the 4th quarter then just power through with nonstops layups lmao. Like who’s stopping that? Defenders would be afraid to foul late in the game, they’ll be gassed, and Lebron just waltz in with full stamina.

      And can finish w both hands. He’s a natural lefty.

      Unlike Simmons he’s worked on his shot and uses it as an advantage at the rim

      Still, someone should take the charge, it was getting so predictable and yet they wouldn’t wall up. Teams wall up for Giannis but you gotta do it for LeBron too

    Lebron looks so much better than play off. Hopefully he can stay healthy this season 🙏
