LeBron has been through slumps like this before. He’ll be back, don’t worry

  2. I agree. He’s still getting into the lane, getting his shots off, he’s just been missing. This is usually how he looks to start the season, and then 15 games in he’s in rhythm. Whelk have a 15-20 game stretch of 27-9-9 on 63% TS or something 

  3. His 2p numbers have been alright and should be the biggest measure of what he has left in the tank. Obviously his 3p shooting is bringing the percentages down

  6. It’s just a shooting slump—nothing to be concerned about. LeBron is still putting up **40.6 points of offense per game**, leading the Lakers by far. He’ll be fine.

    But what about AD? His production over the last 6 games has actually declined more than LeBron’s:

    * **LeBron:** 40.6 points (-13.8%)
    * **AD:** 30.5 points (-20.37%)

    AD is also shooting just **19/64 (29.69%) outside the restricted area** in that span.

    I’m more confident in LeBron’s shooting bouncing back than in AD, who might just stop shooting threes altogether again.

  7. Sure hope so

    We all know the issue is Rob not making improvements in 2 years, but we are seeing the result of that and we have been for years.

    It’s not just Lebron. AD has had an insane workload for years, he constantly picks up injuries because of it. Usually Lebron fills the gap when AD is hobbled but he’s gassed. All the way down to AR, this year AR has had an insane workload.

    So classic, coach overworks his 3 best players because we have a paper thin roster Rob has ruined

  8. He’s gonna be fine—Lakers have 11 days off soon Dec 8-19, Adam Silver planned it for LeBron’s scheduled “mystery treatment” in Miami

  9. And it’s important to remember he has played 5 games in 7 nights. For a guy with the most mileage of ALL-TIME, that’s a big deal.

  10. We can actually get Ingram and DFS both.

    We have the assets..it’s on Rob to do the work now.

    Ingram can be paired with AD post Bron as well.

    Ingram, AD, Knecht and Reaves is a good core post Bron.

    And I’m sure if Rob gets us Ingram and DFS..Bron will take a paycut next year and we can get another piece.

    But I’m keeping my expectations low I don’t trust Rob.

    This maybe the worst FO in American Sports right now.

  13. Whether he gets out of it or not it doesn’t really matter if the roster stays the same, LeBron definitely won’t be improving on defense and to hide him we need good defensive players around him which right now we only have one, AD.

  17. He has never played this bad before. It’s more likely he’s washed and that’s okay it happens to everyone. It’s not our time.

  18. LeBron is declining (he’s been for a while, dude is old) but players don’t forget how to play basketball overnight

  19. I think he’s playing hurt. A couple times when he’s been on the ground it looks like his core is sore.
