Dylan_ Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Inspiring performance by Lebron. He tried so hard to get his teammates involved in the third qtr but AD and Schroder couldn't even buy a basket. AD showed up the last couple minutes of game but too little too late. You cant expect to win when a 38 year old is carrying your team. Props to Jokic and Denver. They are fun to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with everything you said. AD needed to step up more 3 games ago. Bummer, but good for Joker & co. Hopefully the finals will be great….anything should be better than these conference finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 How many years are left on his Lakers deal? 1 or 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He most likely will play one more season with the Lakers and then opt-out and play a farewell season with his son. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah theres no chance he will retire without a farewell season like Kobe had. And i cant see him asking for a trade either since his son committed to USC so he probably wants to stay close to home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see him leaving the Lakers this season & absolutely couldn’t imagine him leaving without a farewell either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 So one more Finals attempt with LA and then a pat on the back season somewhere? Is dumb Kyrie Irving really going to take them over the edge next year though? He’s cancerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heater Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Sounds right. & At that point it’ll be 22 years worth of great basketball moments we’ve all gotten to enjoy…. the dude deserves the biggest pat on the back, as far as I’m concerned.

Dylan_ Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 The thing is the Lakers dont really have many assets to trade. D'Lo isnt going to get you much after that conference finals performance and I don't see them dealing AD either. I think they will build around AD, Reaves and Rui and trade D'Lo for some core role players. The Nuggets proved how important it is to have role players who can perform each night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played the entire 48, I don’t imagine he had much left at that point… What more could he really have done? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like it. 48 minutes is 48 minutes. 38, 42, 48, 54. what difference does it really make, in an elimination game of the playoffs, once per year, when he saves himself all year for? I just can't see Jordan or whatever other great getting locked up by someone like Jamal Murray on an essential drive, or bricking it off the backboard on a fadeaway shot prior. Then walking around giving up per usual, waiting to shake hands with the opponents and hit the beach with D Wade before getting mad about losing. Lebron always has an escape for his fanbase. Not saying he's not an all time great, his talent and resume speaks for itself. He's just not "it" like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 I agree AD and the rest of the Lakers were way bigger letdowns, I'm just saying, freeing Lebron from any criticism every time is just a constant joke. It's not like he makes it easy for other players to operate with his blackhole needing the ball for the offense to run smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heater Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 I mean…I’ve never played basketball at a high level for 20 years…but I did grow babies 6 years apart & I FELT that 6years. Daily. My body was built for this, but age absolutely played a factor in how I felt & what I felt capable of doing… 48 minutes is a lot at that age, at that level, especially being the #1… I’m not even a Bron fan, just a basketball fan. Dude did everything he could, IMO. Bron is still getting plenty of hate, just not from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 The dude has been criticized to a freakish degree his entire career. No other player has had to put up with anything even close to what has come his way. Where is this free pass? If anything, he should have just said fuck his teammates and started ball hogging in the second half. Their best chance at winning that game was a 38 year old rough housing, pretty sad on the rest of the players parts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Bron never had even a baby and still couldn't make it 48 minutes. Not top 10 confirmed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
