AD is having basically the exact same season as his career stats. This is just what he is. The problem is the media crowned him the next king way too early. He doesn't have the demeanor or the body to carry a team
@@DreamBtw That was with Bron at full time point guard force feeding him like a baby. AD is great with an above average point guard. He has zero handles and can’t bring the ball up. He has to have someone set him up. That’s why he has struggled since leaving the bubble. Dennis Schroeder also couldn’t give him the ball in what he calls his spots. That’s why he has looked bad. AD was the best player on a bad team. He was absolutely crowned too soon.
Rondo, Monk, Bazemore, Ellington and Jordan. That was the lineup to start the 4th quarter of a tie game against Milwaukee. That’s ridiculous! Playing Westbrook and Rondo at the same time for extended periods of time. Mind boggling
Might be a bad lineup but with that many new faces you have you to try things to see what will work together. It’s a marathon when you have that many new pieces to try and fit together. He’s already condensed the rotation to an extent
@@edisjd that’s a good point, however, now you have 2 PG’s that can’t shoot or play defense in at the same time. They both need the ball to be effective so when one has the ball, the other is useless
My All-Star analyst(s) to sit at the desk: Nick Wright Emmanuel Acho Michelle Beatle The WORST: Micheal Vick Stephen A Smith Tony Kornheiser But I partially agree with you.. These four on one show is by the best today.
Anthony Davis is good but it started when the media ranked him number 2 in the league. AD should be good enough to win games with just Westbrook if he's that good. B
I dont even know if AD is Top 10 right now. KD, Steph, Giannis, Lebron, Luka, Jokic, Embiid the last 2 years have easily been better. So at best he's 8th. And this year Derozan and Lavine have been better, and even guys like Trae and PG13 have been better. Also Harden and Dame are in slumps right now so I wouldnt consider them better this year but last year they were clearly better as well.
nah AD in 2020 was an absolute monster bruh, last year he was tired and lethargic and lead to an injury. This year, he'll be AD one night and have a really good statement game, and then the next 3-4 games he's looking like Marc Gasol lol
@@yanissmith4982 i meant last 2 years as this year and last year my bad. 3 Years ago he was tech Top 5 but Steph and KD were Injured. If he plays like his 2020 self he could be close to Top 5 but Joker, Giannis, Steph, KD and Lebron are still better. And Kawhi if healthy would most likely still be better.
AD is soft, people made it seem like he was working so hard this off-season to be better and get his body right for the season. He just doesn’t have that motor to play at a high level constantly, that was cool when he was playing for New Orleans but when them expectations start coming up he hasn’t lived up. Frank Vogel won a championship with arguably lesser talent than the team they have now if we being real. It’s the players fault, you can’t keep blaming the coach when all these players decided that they wanted to play with each other…
He straight up isn’t top 75 and I’m a Laker fan. Pau Gasol in his prime was better than him and I’m not even joking. If he was playing this soft with Kobe, he’d be on the hot seat but Bron is his boy.
I don’t want to put all the blame on Vogel because sometimes you just have to have some defensive pride but his lineups and rotations has been questionable as best. Not to mention taking players out when they are hot. Nick is right it took him way to long for him to figure out Deandre doesn’t work in the starting lineup and I’m hoping it doesn’t take him too long to realize THT doesn’t work either.
Man this was great . I’ll take the Reeves over THT HIS DEFENSE IS AT A HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL . This team is bad an the nerve of Vogel to sit Rondo . He is a true point guard at least he would run the offense
I can blame Frank Vogel for some of the questionable situational lineups starting Deandre Jordan is a waste. BUT I don’t blame him for all the overall struggles. LeBron hasn’t been there majority of the season so far. Anthony Davis & Russell Westbrook on the same team should be enough to carry and beat a lot of these really bad teams that they’ve lost too this year. Russ is trying to fit in but AD has to be more aggressive and play to his full potential. He should easily be a top 5 player on the court every game but he plays so relaxed and unmotivated some games.
Still a joke to me that AD made the top 75. I like the Lakers and I know AD is super talented(definitely top 75 talent), but it hasn't always translated on the floor. Dude is too passive most times...probably because his body has betrayed him one too many times and he's tryna pace himself/prevent injuries. The fact that this team needs 37 year old lebron to win is rather shameful
As a Lakers fan since 1971, Frank has done a good job with the rosters he's been given. AD was dominant in the 2020 playoffs and seemed to be ready to lead the team going forward: That has not materialized. I'll wait for Ariza and Nunn to get healthy in order to see what this roster can do at full strength... (We need their D on the wing).
The Lakers’ Main Problems are: Transition Defense, Injuries, 3pt Shooting, 12 New Players, and LeBron missing 12 games! They are 8 /5 with LeBron ! Go Lakers 🙏🙏🙏
Im starting to think AD will never be the same as he was in new Orleans...I'm talking about them games of 40 and 20....35 and 17...he was throwing up video game numbers...I just don't see that same passion
Well, earlier this season he had a 35p/17r/4a/4b, and a 32p/12r/4a/3s/5b stat line that has been achieved before by Hakeem and nobody else... He's just not consistent, that's the issue. Even against Boston, he played just half of the game basically, he had like 20p in the second half and 4 in the first or something.
@@12gark Oh no doubt..he can still produce those type of games..but like you said..he doesn't do them consistently..I mean I understand when your playing with Bron and Westbrook..it's going to be hard .but there were a bunch of games..where Bron didn't play..and Westbrook kinda played .where he should have had those games and didn't...I think ad is in a good place. He got married..got his ring and his money...I don't think it matters to him about legacy and stuff...and that's fine..this is just who he is now
@@TAHJ1987 I honestly hope that he's just trying to figure out how to stay healthy and play well and possibly find where is jumpshot has gone. Maybe he will find his confidence back and be ok, but could also be that he's not motivated to go play his hearth out every night. Hopefully he will do it at least in the playoff, last year the Lakers looked dangerous with Lebron clearly at 50% and a healthy AD.
I agree with Wiles. With all the media noise these days, what you don't say is just as important as what you say. LeBron not coming to the support (vocally) of Vogel can be easily interpreted as him being unhappy with Vogel, even if he's not. But then again LeBron is not known for being supportive or respectful of his coaches, even when Ty Lue was brought in because of him.
For as long as Lebron is playing the Lakers are fine .. AD and Russ are the 2 major support that will keep the Lakers stable for as long as they play on their average not their worst .. imagine them Lebron (25) +AD(24)+Westbrook(21) producing for an average of 70 points on average and sprinkle it with good defense is formidable.. the apparent issue of AD is an exaggeration and he is smart to preserve his body for the long haul .. he does not need to over-extend himself .. just play in sync with Lebron and Russ and its more than enough to win games moving forward.
Charles Barkley said the same thing and I agree, Vogel is a good coach and I didn't want him to sign with Lakers because bronsexuals will throw him under the bus
I’m so tired of Broussard taking up for Lebrons teams. A team with Russ, AD, Monk, Mello, DJ, THT, Rondo etc should not be .500. Even without Lebron for the entire season so far.
AD does not care. He grimaces and limps and rubs bruises more than he goes to the line. Last night, was the first game this season he had four offensive rebounds. He jogs up and down the court. Grant Williams blocks his shot. AD gets posterized 2x on back door lobs. Does AD want to play hard?
They talk about Ty Lue like he's pop or something. 😂 Vogel is a 2 way coach who can at least win with team with less talent. Ty Lue can draw up a defensive scheme to save his life and only got by with stacked teams.
I tune in to this show for Nick Wright's regular sarcasm and I LOVE that they have Chris Broussard on the show. I resort to skipping the parts where Wilds talks. I don't get his role on the show. Jenna is the host and is one of the best in the business. Show would easily be my favorite Sports show besides Undisputed but Wilds is there to make sure that is not the case.
the lakers had played the 4th easiest schedule so far and 13-12 that is a problem because when that becomes harder they will get crushed remember they lost twice to the thunder frank Vogel is not to blame they are Old and not great defensive team no matter who coach them those problems wasn't going to change.
i Think AD has been playing good considering his jum shots arent falling down as they used to but still after all that hes still averaging 24 10 with such bad shooting
7 10+ point blown leads! We could be 19-6 instead of 13-12 if LeBron Hield Russell Curry and Anthony Thompson didnt show up most nights. When LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony David show up, we have high odds. They’ve been settling too much. When they don’t like last night, those 10+ point leads turn into 15+ and 20+ and a W. If they play to their strengths and cut all the BS out from the perimeter, THEN any additional roster moves help, until then it’s nothing because the team will go as the 3 go.
For the last time Kevin Love is the one that wanted David Blatt gone from Cleveland when Blatt was the coach Kevin Love was not allowed to play in the fourth quarter because blatt thought that he was hurting the team as soon as Tyron Lue became coach Kevin Love started playing fourth quarters don’t believe it look it up for yourself the stats in the minutes are there the media tried to spin it like it was LeBron though
Yeah, sometimes Wildes' metaphors are misapplied. Now I'm wondering what his wife would say. I'm assuming she knows as much about sports as he does.😁😁😁
A.D. needs to get in shape, how do you enter this season out of shape and your play alongside one of if not the best players in the world in LeBron James, Davis should be ready to play. ball? Sad to see Davis play this way. If Davis don’t get his act together, I see Jeanie Bus trading A.D. soon so, unfortunate . A.D. can be great but he’s lazy, don’t want to put in the work
AD has to wait on Lebron and Russ to dribble dribble decision instead of running the offense through him why because neither can spot up nor play off the ball so that's the real problem not AD
I think the Lakers just gave up way too much for AD. While he was far more dominant in New Orleans (dropping 30 pts in 20 minutes) his last year, he wasn't worth giving up all of those assets. I would've at least kept Lonzo instead of having Westbrook and therefore could've kept KCP and Caruso, along with getting some more 3&D players. Brandon Ingram wasn't a good fit and he doesn't impact winning, so getting rid of him wasn't a huge loss tbh. I'm sure they could've offered more draft picks or traded Kuzma instead of Zo. But the Lakers always make dumb moves that cost them. These are obvious moves that the front office should know if they're trying to win a ring
The Lonzo trade is only a mistake when you look at it now, they had Lonzo for a while and Kuzma was head over heels the better player and the better fit with Bron and AD since he could shoot so well. Kuzma made bonehead plays but he still contributed pretty well in that championship run
The Lonzo trade was the only reason they were able to assemble the championship team: without his salary, the AD trade couldn't be completed above the cap, and so no money would be available to get Danny Green, KCP and so on. The AD trade was working only that way.
Vogel is not the problem - agreed. The problem is Rob Pelinka. They failed to retain Caruso and KCP who were scrappy defensive players to bring in an outlier. The entire team needs to play scrappy and hungry rather than a group of entitled over paid aging players. That being said Vogel could be doing a better job of experimenting with different rotations. Vogel is not calibrating quickly enough. Maybe the team needs a new coach to radically change their process.
AD leads the league in 20pt 10reb games top 3 in blocks and leads the league in points in the paint so stop the nonsense of course he can be better I guess but he isnt "the problem" that narrative that AD has to be the best player for the Lakers to win was never valid and still isnt but the inconsistency from the players outside of the big 3 and Malik Monk is the Lakers problem and team defense but the thing is Frankie V's strength is defense so yes they should be better but I personally dont think he should be fired because the media has to understand he is literally workin with a whole new team besides 3 players so we know the emphasis has been trying to find the offensive system including rotations they will get back to playing good defense they are still capable so stop with the overreactions
Vogel has ran some terrible lineups and has very few offensive plays. Makes very few changes whenever he calls a timeout. I don't think he's a terrible coach but he's much better on the defensive side than the offensive side. The Lakers don't have nearly as much defensive talent to work with than offensive talent. Vogel is also easy to replace. As long as you don't replace him with an awful coach, there's no real harm in replacing him. He might not be the biggest problem but he is contributing to the problem.
As good as Westbrook as been playing recently Anthony Davis should be like the second Star for lakers to win games and give lebron James rest if needed not relying on him to close even games.
AD is really the best player on the team, since he got there, so they go as he goes. He won his ring, and has become complacent. He is getting exposed as not being a leader, doesn't want to win multiple rings He doesn't have that fire. LeBron is too old to carry him to a title. It's up to AD to carry LeBron now And its not gonna happen. Let's be real. He's not that dude. Wasn't that dude in New Orleans. Isn't that dude now.
He was that dude in NO lol why do you think LA moved half a roster for him? I agree with the complacent point you made but AD is still that dude, only when he wants to be once a week lol
THEY NEED DEFENSE!!!!!! EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT THE NEXT GUY TO STOP THE BALL. THESE YOUNGER DUDES ON THE TEAM HAVE TO BE WAY MORE AGGRESSIVE.........OR GO CALL IMAN SHUMPERT...😁
Never hear such cracked Commentaries. Wilde's right. LeB is the de facto decision maker and de facto coach. Vogel stays because his coaching allows LeB to play the way he wants. Period. Whether that will lead to a NBA title win is another matter. The primary thing is LeB endorses Vogel because Vogel's coaching allows LeB to play the way he wants and control the basketball narrative. Lakers, Buss and Pelinka and Vogel are not about player development or basketball club development - they are about facilitating LeB on what LeB wants. And that is a form of "player calling the shots".
The only reason Kenton win with the lakers is because it was the bubble… so to disappoint nick but his days are numbered and definitely not ever going to win another championship
If Steve Kerr and the entire golden state roster where lakers.. Steve would have been fired while Klay was out. There is no patience amongst lakers. Look at you Mike Brown 4 games in
I dont think the coach is the problem. Nowadays its just a different era. Players have more power. Many players (like Kyrie Irving) openly say they dont need coaches. I disagree. Poppavich is legendary
LeBron is also a big part of the problem. He got hurt, but worst, he signed off on the Westbrook trade. That did it. Westbrook is a human highlight machine, but he can't win when it counted.
Frank has given everyone the opportunity to play an show he can't go out there an play defense nor score just put them in place an there is no patience in LALA LAND they are to talented to be struggling like this this is not on westbrick nor AD. Its LBJ period he the only person not there constantly enough to get a rhythm he is not hurt at all he is old an tired
Why people acting like this is nothing new with Vogel ? His rotations been rubbish since the first season, he always make questionable subs, he always take out plasters when they’re on fire, he always would play rubbish Kuzma more minutes than players that’s okaying better than him and now he’s doing yeh same with THT. THT is rubbish and he keep putting him the starting line and he loves his no spacing lineup when he know teams just pack the paint against Lakers
😀AD's physical build is awkward, obviously. His body is not that of basketball players. He's got height, strength, and ability, The problem is the attachments to his body are not symmetrical, which makes him injury-prone if he pushes it. The same could apply to your Zion Williamson. He's got all of the skills and talents but his body doesn't fit an NBA professional basketball player. An NBA player must be proportionally arranged in the areas which enhance those things an NBA player must do for over 82 games a year. The more elite you are the more grinding will be expected of you.
Look here the Lakers are done they're old and slow let's stop making excuses for them LeBron James is not the LeBron James of oldl he can't carry a team he can't really carry himself it's over just face it everything comes to an end ain't nothing for certain but death and taxes

For the last time Kevin Love is the one that wanted David Blatt gone from Cleveland when Blatt was the coach Kevin Love was not allowed to play in the fourth quarter because blatt thought that he was hurting the team as soon as Tyron Lue became coach Kevin Love started playing fourth quarters don’t believe it look it up for yourself the stats in the minutes are there the media tried to spin it like it was LeBron though
Yeah, sometimes Wildes' metaphors are misapplied. Now I'm wondering what his wife would say. I'm assuming she knows as much about sports as he does.😁😁😁
A.D. needs to get in shape, how do you enter this season out of shape and your play alongside one of if not the best players in the world in LeBron James, Davis should be ready to play. ball? Sad to see Davis play this way. If Davis don’t get his act together, I see Jeanie Bus trading A.D. soon so, unfortunate . A.D. can be great but he’s lazy, don’t want to put in the work
AD must got a guard as his 2K player
AD has to wait on Lebron and Russ to dribble dribble decision instead of running the offense through him why because neither can spot up nor play off the ball so that's the real problem not AD
I think the Lakers just gave up way too much for AD. While he was far more dominant in New Orleans (dropping 30 pts in 20 minutes) his last year, he wasn't worth giving up all of those assets. I would've at least kept Lonzo instead of having Westbrook and therefore could've kept KCP and Caruso, along with getting some more 3&D players. Brandon Ingram wasn't a good fit and he doesn't impact winning, so getting rid of him wasn't a huge loss tbh. I'm sure they could've offered more draft picks or traded Kuzma instead of Zo. But the Lakers always make dumb moves that cost them. These are obvious moves that the front office should know if they're trying to win a ring
The Lonzo trade is only a mistake when you look at it now, they had Lonzo for a while and Kuzma was head over heels the better player and the better fit with Bron and AD since he could shoot so well. Kuzma made bonehead plays but he still contributed pretty well in that championship run
The Lonzo trade was the only reason they were able to assemble the championship team: without his salary, the AD trade couldn't be completed above the cap, and so no money would be available to get Danny Green, KCP and so on. The AD trade was working only that way.
Jenna looking like Professor McGongall
the way nick talks about frank vogel u would think he is the worst coach of all time.
As is good but needs to inprove
Vogel is not the problem - agreed. The problem is Rob Pelinka. They failed to retain Caruso and KCP who were scrappy defensive players to bring in an outlier. The entire team needs to play scrappy and hungry rather than a group of entitled over paid aging players. That being said Vogel could be doing a better job of experimenting with different rotations. Vogel is not calibrating quickly enough. Maybe the team needs a new coach to radically change their process.
AD kept getting his lunch money stolen like he was 6’2. Wish we could trade him and THT for Ball and Caruso
AD leads the league in 20pt 10reb games top 3 in blocks and leads the league in points in the paint so stop the nonsense of course he can be better I guess but he isnt "the problem" that narrative that AD has to be the best player for the Lakers to win was never valid and still isnt but the inconsistency from the players outside of the big 3 and Malik Monk is the Lakers problem and team defense but the thing is Frankie V's strength is defense so yes they should be better but I personally dont think he should be fired because the media has to understand he is literally workin with a whole new team besides 3 players so we know the emphasis has been trying to find the offensive system including rotations they will get back to playing good defense they are still capable so stop with the overreactions
Watch Anthony davis. If he passes immediately he go to the 3 point line
pop is the best coach...based on coaches..not journalists!!
Vogel has ran some terrible lineups and has very few offensive plays. Makes very few changes whenever he calls a timeout. I don't think he's a terrible coach but he's much better on the defensive side than the offensive side. The Lakers don't have nearly as much defensive talent to work with than offensive talent. Vogel is also easy to replace. As long as you don't replace him with an awful coach, there's no real harm in replacing him. He might not be the biggest problem but he is contributing to the problem.
Stop blaming westbrick and the coach its anthony davis the problem!!!
Who's fault is it this week?
It's Rob Pelinka"s fault, because Rob put all of these "old geesers" together.
They should get rid of Jenna and let Broussard or Wildes read the questions. She is so cringy
Wilds b whillin🤣
As good as Westbrook as been playing recently Anthony Davis should be like the second Star for lakers to win games and give lebron James rest if needed not relying on him to close even games.
U act like Russ wasn't an MVP SMH 😂😂😂
There's no reason to panic...in our worse form we are 5th seed in the west.We have bron, we have everything
Vogel isn't the best coach but he has nothing to do with their struggles.
AD is really the best player on the team, since he got there, so they go as he goes.
He won his ring, and has become complacent. He is getting exposed as not being a leader, doesn't want to win multiple rings
He doesn't have that fire. LeBron is too old to carry him to a title. It's up to AD to carry LeBron now
And its not gonna happen. Let's be real. He's not that dude. Wasn't that dude in New Orleans. Isn't that dude now.
He was that dude in NO lol why do you think LA moved half a roster for him? I agree with the complacent point you made but AD is still that dude, only when he wants to be once a week lol
@@yanissmith4982 Yeah, he was so good there they won how many playoff games? Oh.....
Lost me at “Carry Lebron.” LBJ was LITERALLY just a top 3 mvp candidate 6 months ago. 😳
Most people outside LA don’t think that ring meant much lol. It was a glorified AAU tournament in an empty gym.
AD lost some of his fire after he won his ring.
It always seems like AD is Trying his best not to injure himself, rather than trying his best to secure wins.
agree, but maybe that's good. He doesn't fall down as much if he plays under control. Maybe he is saving for May.
@@contributor2024 Good point that actually makes perfect sense.
THEY NEED DEFENSE!!!!!! EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT THE NEXT GUY TO STOP THE BALL. THESE YOUNGER DUDES ON THE TEAM HAVE TO BE WAY MORE AGGRESSIVE.........OR GO CALL IMAN SHUMPERT...😁
AD has his chance to take over when LeBron was down but he shriveled up
Never hear such cracked Commentaries. Wilde's right. LeB is the de facto decision maker and de facto coach. Vogel stays because his coaching allows LeB to play the way he wants. Period. Whether that will lead to a NBA title win is another matter. The primary thing is LeB endorses Vogel because Vogel's coaching allows LeB to play the way he wants and control the basketball narrative. Lakers, Buss and Pelinka and Vogel are not about player development or basketball club development - they are about facilitating LeB on what LeB wants. And that is a form of "player calling the shots".
AD bro your the typical 3rd wheel.... see Chris bosh, Kevin love.....not going to end well...all the wins = lbj, all the losses AD....
That's the Coach problem he don't know what he is doing I would set Anthony Davis if he don't do any better
How tf is ty lue one of the top 5 coaches. What r u smoking lol
AD is not even in the top 10 right now
Lmfao look at nicks head!! 🤣
The only reason Kenton win with the lakers is because it was the bubble… so to disappoint nick but his days are numbered and definitely not ever going to win another championship
If Steve Kerr and the entire golden state roster where lakers.. Steve would have been fired while Klay was out. There is no patience amongst lakers. Look at you Mike Brown 4 games in
I dont think the coach is the problem. Nowadays its just a different era. Players have more power. Many players (like Kyrie Irving) openly say they dont need coaches. I disagree. Poppavich is legendary
Lol kyrie the clown
Not a good take bro
@@demetriusdouglas-davis3552 lets hear yours
LeBron is also a big part of the problem. He got hurt, but worst, he signed off on the Westbrook trade. That did it. Westbrook is a human highlight machine, but he can't win when it counted.
LeBron created this mess not the coach
Frank has given everyone the opportunity to play an show he can't go out there an play defense nor score just put them in place an there is no patience in LALA LAND they are to talented to be struggling like this this is not on westbrick nor AD. Its LBJ period he the only person not there constantly enough to get a rhythm he is not hurt at all he is old an tired
3:42 I hope Kevin Wildes isn’t married to his mother
Imagine how bad we gona be when LeBron retires and it's just AD? He soft AF
Broussard talking about being patient when all media overreact off 1 game..two sided f..this is media is soo trash
AD is not a leader that is not his role
Why people acting like this is nothing new with Vogel ? His rotations been rubbish since the first season, he always make questionable subs, he always take out plasters when they’re on fire, he always would play rubbish Kuzma more minutes than players that’s okaying better than him and now he’s doing yeh same with THT. THT is rubbish and he keep putting him the starting line and he loves his no spacing lineup when he know teams just pack the paint against Lakers
😀AD's physical build is awkward, obviously. His body is not that of basketball players. He's got height, strength, and ability, The problem is the attachments to his body are not symmetrical, which makes him injury-prone if he pushes it. The same could apply to your Zion Williamson. He's got all of the skills and talents but his body doesn't fit an NBA professional basketball player. An NBA player must be proportionally arranged in the areas which enhance those things an NBA player must do for over 82 games a year. The more elite you are the more grinding will be expected of you.
Vogel is a terrible coach. Stop the BS.
Lose. Him. ..
AD is a bust.
The Lakers are stupid. Obviously it doesn’t matter what Lebron wants because T. Lue would’ve been the coach if they did what he wanted.
Look here the Lakers are done they're old and slow let's stop making excuses for them LeBron James is not the LeBron James of oldl he can't carry a team he can't really carry himself it's over just face it everything comes to an end ain't nothing for certain but death and taxes
Antony Davis is one of the 75 of all time with a bubble ring.. smh..😂
you people only call it a “bubble ring” and try to discredit it because the Lakers won lmao had your favorite team won the chip you wouldn’t be calling it that
@@AllBackends if any ring is to have an asterisk next to it, it’d be the 2020 Mickey Mouse bubble ring.
@@tubewatcher1979 or every lockout season where all 82 games were played lmao
@@demetriusdouglas-davis3552 nah lockout seasons at least had real playoffs with teams traveling to different cities and dealing with hostile environments and no lockout season had a 4 month gap between regular season and playoffs completely killing momentum. All this in the middle of a pandemic where people ain’t in the right mindset and out of their element. No Lockout season comes close to comparing to the Bubble.
@@tubewatcher1979 however many lock out seasons didn’t even play 72 games lmao, that is time off for veterans to rest and heal their bodies. Understand their 4 month break however everyone has that time off and what they did with their bodies during that time was on them no one else
Lebron hasn’t missed half the season. /
Coach not the problem theirs no chemistry lebron taking to ma y days off and injurys and their old guys play no D
