LeBron and AD both let Grant just wander down the lane, then James did some funky Olajuwon Torture Chamber move at the three-point line over Dame, instead of using his height, he faded away kicking his leg, trying to draw a foul lol. Pat Bev was supposed to be some kind of stopper, but got torched again and let us not forget LeBron's logo three attempt that airballed. If those dudes decide to convert 4 of those 3 attempts into 2 pointers and made 50%, they would've won. In fact if they would've cut those 3 point attempts in half at least and shot 50% of those as 2-pointers, they would be 3-0. Jacking up threes is actually costing them points and giving the other team more opportunities. I mean you pass up 6 or 8 points to get three while the other team scores 4 or 22 points.

5:20 LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@sasajc05]

So in a 45 minute game that takes almost 3 hours to play yall blaming Russ for the loss game based off the shot he took on the last idk 20 seconds? These are Lebron's "help" & 🤡🤡🤡 I knew if Russ going to the Lakers he'll be the scapegoat like the other players in past seasons

[@christophervelasquez2063]

Omg that graphic that Nick showed of being under 25% of 3, was like wow!

[@cyrusnicca]

Bron shooting 25.9% 😂😂😂😂 so he cut it at 25

[@ballingwithbryce5801]

Can’t blame Westbrook for Bron bad decision making and defense in the 4th qt

[@IM-st2yo]

Pelinka gamble? Why trade the picks? Any GM looking at the situation could see that those picks need to be kept. Trading Russ is obvious but to give up an additional assets is dumb.

The loss was a good L - played tough, made more 3s. But Russ taking that last shot made it 10x worse an L than it should've been. He should've gone for the dunk and pulled a foil not take that jumper.

[@troypointer3765]

Or or if the self proclaimed goat would've hit the jumper they would've went to ot. Was Russ on the floor the last 3 minutes,hmm?

[@RafaelUnplugged]

@@troypointer3765 he still has the best clutch shot % vs Kobe and Jordan tho 🤷🏽

[@troypointer3765]

@@RafaelUnplugged I'm not talking percentage or stats I'm talking about yesterday. Tell me why he didn't make the jumper with Russ off the floor?

[@onlyfacts9820]

Lol bro y'all stop with all this Russ bullying because anybody with sense knows if and when he leaves the lakers are still gonna lose, they'll just blame it on Ad, they loss over the fact that a man in his 20th season is shooting side step 3s and criticize russ, the larkers aren't that good, the media acts as if James is in his 10th season, he's not that good anymore, if I was the lakers I would package James and russ for picks and start all over, stop it with this lakers hype nonsense, there not good, and there not making the playoffs

[@mikejames2756]

The Lakers should give their GM a promotion after doing the Pacers trade.

[@jamesstinedurf9841]

if people want to be honest, Pelinka should have been fired for trading for Westbrook the previous offseason. their coach that was fired was a scapegoat for the team the front office put together.
