1. No, the franchise itself did 💥💥💥

2. Colin is a Klutch operative. The issue in LA is Bron. He needs to go. This team is obviously way better without him.

3. lebron didnt make anything work he won because he had more talent miami even the cleveland team had more talent than warriors before they got kd and la he won in the bubble come on

4. LeBron played a less talented team in the Miami Heat

5. The Lakers are currently the 3 seed and won the last 7 of 8

6. Weird timing on this given that the Lakers are now #3 in the West and rising.

7. Lukas defensive "flaws" are he gives up 38%FG in isolation defense which is considered very good btw. He also is top 15 in steals per game so I would argue he is no stretch of the imagination a bad defender the media loves to talk about. He was only ok in the finals mostly because he got literally nothing from Kyrie as a secondary playmaker and none of his shooters were hitting anything so yes he got tired.

8. I am a Boston Celtics fan, and I have learned to hate the Lakers but if you think these guys aren’t ready for the playoffs and Luca can’t carry this team to the finals, you are crazy
   Keep focusing on hating on LeBron James when you have guys like Ja Morant that are ruining this league.

9. Literally third seed in the west.

10. More collabs with Danny

11. Luka is sooo overrated.

12. Wtf did luka do? The team is better without lebron , how tf is that lukas fault, the media hates luka

13. I wouldn't say Lebron and AD worked. They did get the bubble championship, but every other season together was a disappointment, and that 1 chip was because AD was playing out of his mind that playoffs and was completely healthy by some miracle when a torrent of their opps had injuries… Lakers also had two veteran big men in Dwight and Javale that year so AD could comfortably play the 4 instead of the 5.

14. PLEASE find a new topic to talk about my goodness. It’s been almost 2 weeks of LeBron and Luka talk meanwhile it’s been an amazing NBA season and you’re ignoring talking about future stars of the game

15. You just had to throw in Luka’s name there too you little weasel Colin 😂 just say it how it is. LEBRON IS THE PROBLEM. We all know it and all see it as Lakers fans. The data is right there in our faces too. THE LAKERS ARE BETTER WITHOUT LEBRON. Don’t toss Luka into this

16. Why do you guys keep giving Rob Palinka a pass?He's been awful as the GM but nobody brings it up as if he doesn't exist.

17. THAT'S BULLSHIT COLIN THE DIFFERENCE IS :2 IN DEFENSE 😮😮😮 4:22 YOU LIAR.

18. Lebron is a good player but he needs less minutes to be at 100 percent when he is older. Also in playoff they will need Lebron, his size and athleticism is important for playoffs, but again, he can't play as many minutes on a high level anymore so he will cherry pick on offense and defense. Reddick needs to figure out minutes for Luka, Austin and Lebron where they don't play 40 min like last playoffs.

19. Let's face it, Colin does not watch the games, his producer just notices that everytime you put Luka and or Lebrons name as a topic you get clicks. These media types are such a waste of human skin. If you actually watched the games, Luka is doing just fine on defense, he actually stayed in fron of Jalen on one night and manged to stay in fron of An the next night, Teams do not even hunt him as often. He is the best rebounding guard in the NBA and it's not even close. Lebron is 41 and in his 23rd season, nobody expects him to do anythoing more than what he does. This is basically a gap year in LA and they are still almost third in the west.

20. Luka worst defence cmon LeBron is scapegoat here
