LeBron James cautions Lakers still ‘suck right now’ if focus on details doesn’t improve π
LeBron you guys needed a win in the worst way how did you get it done tonight uh defense one of the best scoring teams in the league only give up 103 points on our home floor uh that was a key to success you spent some time on
Kawhai tonight he had been shooting the lights out for the last a month and change 60% in December what did you guys do to keep him contained he was about six or 17 tonight I mean against any great player you just try to make him work and uh contest their shots without
Fouling I thought we did a great job of uh not allowing him to get to the free throw line um and um you know guys are going to make shots they’re going to miss shots but um you just live with the results got a big Lift Off the Bench tonight uh
Vander buil wood a couple of other players what did they do with just some of those bigger constructions of lineups to limit the Clippers well I mean uh that we need that um you know our consistency Off the Bench is what’s going to help us win ball games and
Become more consistent on the floor so I thought Bando and uh C was uh there you go right there his minutes was huge and then again DLo back was huge as well dowlo hit some big time timely shots um you know especially in that second half
And we needed it to beat a team that had been playing as well as the Clippers uh what can you take out of the game and what worked well as you try to you know continue to sack up wins now I would think just how um you know we still
Slipped to some detailed things but we got to be better with our details and uh if we can continue to get better with our details um we could be a really good team but if if not then we suck right now is what I said after last game uh so
Um you know tonight was a good step in the right direction we want to try to continue that Trend going into next game appreciate it LeBron I appreciate [Applause] [Applause] you

Great interview with the King. Defense wins championships.
For all you haters that say "Lebron doesn't play defense". Watch this game. Better yet watch every game you casuals. Yeah he may not run back at times but who does all the time? He's still a solid 1-on-1 defender and co-anchor to the defense. Literally calls out the opposing team's sets. Imagine having someone on the floor telling you where you need to be or what's going to happen next. π
Ty Lue using up that timeout with about 2:47 minutes left was crazy. Looked like he just wanted to bench Kawhi for wasting the other timeout with the failed challenge.
LeWe Still Gotta Keep Getting Better
Yβall really take one good game on D and call LBJ a two way player when theyβre 3-8 in last 11 π€¦ββοΈ
Bro adopting that Kobe attitude lol
Lebron's hair transplant is the real MVP
Still one game under .500 Goat. π
wood and dlo off the bench were great this game π
For the 10th yr in a row….Lebron youre just better off retiring
LeBron knows it, shame ESPN doesn't!
Obviously the refs favored the Lakers . . But watch the Next few games π₯΄
We suck right now til u get me more help like i need every year im gonna need one of those 16 player trades at the deadline again to make the 8th seed – lebron james
Witnessing a true legend showing this kids how itβs done. But those players around him are trash
Live your own life guys, donβt live through someone else.
Seriously so impressive that he keeps improving
Legoat
LEBRON THE GOAT
Kudos LBJ
Wood and Dlo off the bench is big for us and rui will be back
What a monster dunk LeBron is the goat
As a laker fan, Lebron literally was locking up Kawhi the whole game and put him in hell, heβs my G.O.A.T and you canβt change my mind
Nuggets will still sweep the Lakers. Jokic better than Lebron all time.
Greatest player of all time! He will easily play into his 40's if he chooses to do so still averaging 20 points a game.
GOAT James ππ
Donβt care about those who sayβs different π―
Letβs go Lakers ππ
Lebron deserves better than this. Smh, lakers really ainβt it
The king
Dont doubt the king
Beon completely locked down Kawhi, held him to 15p on 35%Fg
All you FAIRWEATHER FANS THROW YOUR TV'S AWAY UNTIL THE PLAYOFFS! YEAH ITS COACH DARVIN HAMS FAULT ON THIS WIN TOO RIGHT! NO BASKETBALL PLAYIN PPL!!!! BOTTOM DWELLERS PERIOD! LBJ ONE OF THE GOATS OF ANY GENERATION YOU WANT TO PUT HIM IN….PERIOD!!!! PERIOD!!!!πππ½π―π₯π₯±
LeBron was Awesome in this game. The other guys did well also. Great Team Effort. Let's keep it going Lakers. Let's Go Lakers. We Can Do It.

LeBron might be the first real alien hybrid because lik dammm π π π
He put kiwi in hell
Atleast he honest not having the big head after this one win.. he acknowledged they still need work yall hating cause they actually beat the team that is in LA with them clippers balling right now and still have no win against the lakers
I see they have that windle dude now from G league..
They suck because Laflop is on the team. The dude has been overhyped from the very beginning of his career. Thanks mainstream media sports channels for ruining the nba for 20 years.. this dude couldnβt beat Dominique Wilkins on his best day !! Hope Leterd retires so basketball can rebuild again after 20 years of drama queen !
King James was just doing kingly things per usual.π€΄πΎπͺπ½
Fire ham trade reeves
LeBron uses his post game interview to subtly hint that he βneeds more help.β Same song every year for the βGoat.β πππ
Le Beard
The clippers choked tonight
lets go bron
