How can a team with King James keep getting bounced early in the playoffs?

The Lakers have the best player in basketball, so how the hell do they keep gettiig hammered in the first round.

Bad management has my vote, with a large helping of bad coaching.

I'm tired of losing interest in the NBA playoffs due to the Lakers' fail.

Thanks for the update. I was worried there for a while.

Jokic plays for the Lakers?

It’s because Johnny Jones isn’t coaching this team and maximizing their full potential

Anthony Davis needs more help.

He’s 40 years old and is having to go through the murderers row West instead of the East with like 2 good teams. Seems pretty simple

He just needs more help. The moves he dictated to the front office have not worked out well. This is going to further get compounded when he holds them hostage to draft his son.

Weren’t they in the Western Conference Finals last year?

Shitting on Lebron the day after he’s eliminated and you’re getting hammered with downvotes.


That’s impressively pathetic

Lebron hasn't been the best player in basketball in like 6 years.

He's great but basketball is a young man's game.

It is also a team game, and Denver is special. Gettin knocked out by the champs last year isn't a failure. Denver may repeat but Boston is the favorite.

He’s still a top 10ish player in the league but he can’t carry a team anymore like he use to. Bron and AD played great for the series but the role players either didn’t give you anything or were inconsistent. When going against the actual best player in the league and defending champions you need your role players to at least get their season averages; they didn’t

They certainly shoot more free throws

Bron, Steph, and KD have won a playoff series only 2 of the last 6 (and 2 of 5 for Steph and KD). . They just aren’t the floor raisers that other guys are these days.

He can't be Batman without a Robin.

Where was the Robin? Westbrick ain't it. The baby back bitch AD ain't it.

the guy is like 66 years old. For God's sake, he needs to retire.

It is now Paolo's league.

Lebron and AD can’t play all 5 positions and the bench. Denver is far and away the better overall team

I mean LA had halftime leads in all 5 games. If they had the depth Denver has it’s a completely different series

LeBron hasn’t been a top 5 player for 6-7 years at this point. Hell he hasn’t even been a top 10 player since before Covid.
