I'm a huge fan of LeBron but I've said before this season, when they acquired Westbrook that they'll have 0% chance of winning a ring, probably wouldn't get past the first round, which in a way I am right 😂 blame LeBron all you want but Westbrick and street clothes AD have the biggest load to carry in terms of blame.

[@ActivBowser9177]

As a fellow non-delusional LeBron fan, I can absolutely relate to that. (primarily regarding to knowing that getting Westbrook will hurt the Lakers)

[@MR.__G]

So lebron playing the most minutes & playing the least defense, handicapping his team had nothing to do with the lakers defense absolutely garbage ? Not only does he show no pride, leadership, effort on defense, but he dominates the ball for almost the entire game & is playing to pass a scoring record. Talk about a way to kill the team moral. You lebron Stan are jokes. Blaming everyone but him. Sure there’s others to blame but lebron is at the top of the list. Btw the 2 players you’re blaming are there because of lebron.

[@andrewbledsoe131]

Act like it's all Westbrooks fault 🙄 he's partially to blame just like GM Lebron is partially to blame. They all played a role in missing the playoffs. Westbrook led the team in almost every category.
