This is why he will never be GOAT as far as I am concerned. Jordan had zero quit in him. LeBron has plenty.

Agree. MJ had heart that I've only seen in Bird,Isiah Thomas(80s player one) and Kobe.
Those guys wanted to destroy you. Lebron wants to be your friend. Lebron also sold out that young group of Ingram,Ball,Hart. Magic had a plan for him to start playing down low so he could conserve his body but Lebron nope wanted ball in his hands and he got more wear and tear and got hurt. Had he went down low he could of aged pretty gracefully and he talked those kids up and then in end stabbed them in the back

I've been saying this for a while now. Better to play them while they are hobbled a bit, trying to find a groove after hastily getting everyone back from injury rather than possible after they have had 2 solid series to get their groove back.

On the other hand, if they are hobbled a bit and trying to find a groove the suns will take them out anyway so we still don't have to face them after getting their groove back.

Even better for someone else to knock them off.

Yes but don't know how it plays out. Think of the momentum the Jazz team could get by beating a beat up Lakers team early. Nuggets,clippers,suns are all worst matchup for the jazz then this current Lakers. With those two being hurt I would make sure to stick every team mate they ha e and make those two beat your make them make mistakes and take alot of bad shots coming off Injuries. Need someone bench to match Harrell energy.


To me this answer seems like the coward way out. To be the best you have to beat the best. Slay the enemy and then get a title

Yeah I'm more along the lines of take our destiny into our own hands. Don't rely on hoping someone else doesn't crap out. If we crap out that's on us and would take us down anyway. Not good to hope 2 other teams don't crap out and let LBJ and his cronies get their groove back before meeting up with us in the WCF, where the officiating will guarantee who moves into the finals.

Stop it. This is the type of stuff that is embarrassing to read.

I mean that’s cute and all but every title team caught some luck somewhere... you want to stack the deck. Lebron may be slow playing things a little and by the playoffs he’s 100%... now you get to deal with the second best player of all time in the first round.

Raptors had a ball bounce 27 times and then fall in for a game winner... then LD got hurt... Cavs needed Draymond to but punch through the playoffs and get suspended... he’ll even the warriors needed the Rockets to miss 27 straight threes... you need luck... we won’t avoid a tough team completely but we should absolutely be looking to setup the easiest path possible... no bonus points for taking a harder road.
 
Lakers will, most likely, end up as 7th seed but they won't risk another play-in game to match with the Jazz(if we remain 1st) and if they lose and make the playoffs as 8th seed, that means they are vulnerable.
