LeBron Handles Hawks Loss With Odd Cryptic Tweet | THE ODD COUPLE
Uh Lebron James Rob we talked about him yesterday but then the Lakers went out and laid another egg and got hammered by the Houston rockers who are nobody’s Juggernaut Rockets the 11th seed in the Eastern or the Western Conference I’m sorry and LeBron James as you might imagine now they didn’t have Anthony
Davis all right still they got hammered by the 11 seated Houston Rockets and LeBron James was none too pleased here’s what he said Brian you guys are are C staying on the road for the next couple games big match up against Boston big match up against the Knicks what would your
Message be to your teammate and what can you do yourself you know to get that get pick back on the winning side of things I don’t have any message for my teammates just go out and do your job I mean I’m not yeah appreciate it you way
To cut me off cuz I was about to go about to go all right who was that the the pr person I if I was stand in there I’d say LeBron can you finish your sentence can you finish your thought okay oh oh okay thanks everybody okay
Get lost these people drive me crazy to PR people can you let LeBron talk no he wanted him to cut him off he he had he had talked for four minutes no he said thanks I was just about to go no I know but I’m just saying he had talked
For four minutes and they said last question before that question was but he didn’t answer it is what I was saying I’m not saying that he has to stand there for 10 minutes and then he kind of joked about yeah thanks for like that was kind of a throwaway line whatever
The case that’s not what we here to talk about in fact this is what LeBron should do with his teammates instead of sending the cryptic tweets Rob G tell us the Tweet Rob LeBron said well he wasn’t the only one first to sent off a cryptic tweet things have been escalating in the
Lakers locker room now for about a month all started the athletic did that article where they had six sources around the team and there was a growing disconnect between darham and the Lakers darham you know in since then has done several postgame press conferences where
He talks about we got to man up these guys you know uh the rotations are what they are uh there’s no popularity contest and it’s almost pitting him against the team so yesterday before the game Anthony Davis was supposed to be starting as usual he was ruled out due
To hip and groin issues and so you would think Christian Wood the backup center would get the start he doesn’t third Stringer Jackson Hayes gets the start he puts out LOL before the game he tried to backtrack it after the game it was a big gold deal what have you well after that
Kind of died down about an hour later LeBron James fresh off his own media availability where he you know s supposedly saved himself from saying something stupid decided he’s going to put out an emoji of an hourglass no context no comment just good old passive aggressive LeBron James striking
Again all right first Christian Wood um I mean Christian Wood can shoot he scores better than Jackson Hayes but maybe they wanted a little more of a presence defensively and I’m not saying Jackson Hayes is Joel embiid on the defensive end but I think he gives a
Little more effort on that end than Christian Wood that that’s been Christian Wood’s problem throughout his career defense and that’s why despite being a scorer he’s a legit scorer he hasn’t stuck anywhere this dude averaged 20 points game or close to it I think he
Did average 24 a few years but he keeps getting moved all over the place 21 points one year because he doesn’t give effort on the defensive end and can’t defend so that might be why Darvin ham made that move and I don’t know if maybe
Chris I’m not gonna say he’s a liar but maybe that was his issue I think with LeBron LeBron James is better than a cryptic tweet and Emoji I LeBron James is the most respected player in the league LeBron James is one of the two best players ever LeBron James if any player
Has the authority to say to the front office or to say to the coaching staff or to say to their his teammates we got to get it together this is bothering me what are we doing to to fix this it’s LeBron enough with the Sherlock Holmes
Stuff a I mean come how do the team how do you think your teammates feel walking into the locker room walk into practice and they got this crypto they don’t know how their their Superstar leader feels it was that directed at us was that directed at coach was that directed at you
Know his his own time here with the Lakers because it was an hourglass it was an hourglass emoji that that was pouring out so was that LeBron saying times running out on ham times running out on some of my teammates who might get dealt hopefully times running
Out on my time with the lers I we don’t know none of them are good though so I’m just saying LeBron is better than this he’s been a great a good leader I know he’s always done some of these little cryptic tweets and I never I don’t really care for him I’m
Like St talk to the people let’s solve this if we got to argue fine like me and Rob sometimes we argue fine let’s settle it like men and that’s what I think LeBron should do if he got some issu he’s not GNA change who he is he’s done this forever
This is this is who he is he’s done it before no shocker that LeBron won’t confront it or take any responsibility as what’s going on um it’s always about somebody else it’s always somebody else is to blame let’s blame uh Walton Les blame who else who came uh well V was
Vogle was at was vogle was vogle after wal or was it somebody else wton vogle and now it’s ham and now the players aren’t good enough they won the they won the off season they went they only this team only went to the Western Conference
Finals a year ago this team only won the End season tournament that he would had his chest stuck out they they shot around sprayed more cheap champagne than I’ve seen since I went to Jonas’s wedding I mean like that’s all that was going on and now all of a sudden none of
It matters and none of it is good enough and everybody else is to blame ad and him are playing most nights and they’re at 500 I mean look in the mirror stop it you just can’t keep doing this I agree it’s and I Rob you know
What the only answer now if they want to get rid of darving ham look this the same guy like you said led him to the Conference Finals let him to the in season tournament all of a sudden he don’t know how to coach but if you get rid of him and you
Know or you make a trade trade some of your role players for some other role players is it what’s going to change the only thing that’s going to really help them is if LeBron and AD take care of this and and look I don’t think LeBron’s
Capable at this stage no shame in that he’s 39 years old but he got Anthony Davis playing some of the best ball of his career playing arguably the best stretch he’s played with the Lakers arguably this this first half of the season and they can’t be 500
So it’s just I agree LeBron has to look in the mirror that doesn’t mean his teammates aren’t you know are doing everything they need to do either but he’s a part of it as well he’s a part of it and I know LeBron’s smart enough to know his numbers just because they’re
The same as the rest of his career doesn’t mean he’s playing close to that level and so they they there’s really no answer for him they need to look in the mirror and I think LeBron and AD need to lead them to however high they can go
The role players if if LeBron and AD take the bull by the horns and lead them I think the role players will follow meaning they’ll do the best they can and this it’s not a championship team because you can just see that how do you like the way LeBron handled last night’s
Loss with the cryptic tweet uh any issues with that and do you have a solution for these struggling Lakers Ken in California you’re on the eye couple Fox Sports Radio what’s up Ken it’s Tim Tim all right Ken Tim how are you a couple what’s up guys we’re good
Man how are you man we’re doing good man this is this is just the same old same old LeBron that nobody’s holding him accountable isn’t it just annoying like he does this he did the same thing when Denver swept him when he has a bad performance it’s everybody else oh I’m
Going to retire you know you’re not going to retire that was another one yeah was the other one right oh it’s the coach no the team is bad because you can’t play defense on the other side of the on the court and your numbers are empty your numbers are empty this is the
Lakers need to cut bait is isn’t it a shame that this is the Lakers brand now it’s the drama of the LeBron show it’s the drama of hey is bronnie now gonna play It’s the drama ads always put up good numbers and never had an impact on
The game now it’s LeBron’s turn for that and all we do is just go into it go into the same show the same repeat episod rob you you love TV how how is it when you see the same exact script every single episode don’t you get annoyed by it I
Wonder if the Lakers are really gonna feel that way the only difference is uh in in when I’m watching the sitcoms over and over I’m actually laughing and in sports you shouldn’t be laughing at a team you know like that’s the only difference you’re right about Rob let me
Throw this trade at you would you do it the question is well I guess either team I think think the Warriors would do it Klay Thompson and Jonathan kaminga and I guess picks for LeBron if I’m the Warriors I defin I mean you have no
Space I mean uh kaminga right is at odds with uh Steve Kerr right Klay Thompson is a shell of himself I guess the Lakers would just be using he’s only got one year left so he he’ll you know he’ll expire after this season right I’m just saying if you’re using SL slot or
Whatever and kaminga is a talent young talent and you could get some picks Rob G you like that trade I love it I’d love to see that no way really if you’re who the Lakers for the Lakers of course not why not because Klay Thompson is kind of
Washed he is not kind of being nice Jonathan kaminga up until like two weeks ago was barely you know uh getting meaningful minutes he was getting one night he get 25 then he get 18 so I’m I’m not going to trade LeBron James are you going somewhere this year
I I would much rather write it out with a player like that then I’m going to take a washed up I mean I like Klay Thompson but I’m not going to take a busted down Klay Thompson and a guy who up until two weeks ago was barely
Getting me I mean that’s my thought I don’t think the Lakers will do it but right no not I’d propose it if I people would people would be up and arm the LeBron people like like they’ bead no no no but I’m just saying like the people who are Laker fans who are
LeBron fans would be mad that they got it would be a good trade for the lake I mean again you you get kaminga like you just look right now Pascal cakam just got three first round picks and Bruce Brown Jr and and that was considered a salary dump and you don’t think that
LeBron could even get that right I mean LeBron’s difficult he makes so much money um you got to match up the salaries what is it million change a lot when you bring in Lebron right um the D damic of your team and you know you’re risking will he stay there long term I
Think he was stay golden state let’s fly let’s slip in Fred real quick before we go to our update uh Fred in Maryland you’re on The Odd Couple Fox Sports Radio what’s up Fred fellas thank you thank you for taking my call love y’all thank you thank you it’s ironic that
This is happening again around groundhog G because it happens every year like true the guy repeatedly it’s always like year before the team was great the team was just we went to conference champ now we day went the conference Championship now all of a sudden we need to get this
Guy more help off season it was great and I think it’s it’s tnis in his legacy about being up there as far as like go situation about he needs all of this help you have a great team my thing was I know this not gonna happen I think
Chris L to a minute ago that when he when he comes in he changes the system because he technically is the system he’s learn to play with the for you to be Bal well yeah and this it’s it’s it’s hard at this stage of his career he’s actually gotten a little
Better of it but better at it this year and the last year but I agree like I think that’s been a weakness of LeBron’s throughout his prime because it just makes it tough to fit around him and like I said Luca Rob I said yesterday Luca’s starting to do the same thing not
Starting I don’t know if it’s even their fault I know in Cleveland when LeBron got there they were so bad they put it in his hands right you can win to a certain level now not at this stage of his career but I’m just saying for LCA
Like like like you know what I mean like will you be able to win playing that way Chris I don’t think so right and that’s the problem think so

Imagine sitting 15 feet or closer to teammates yet you go on social media to talk about ppl you were just in front of. Soft and corny
Kawhi an Ad on this same lakers team would be a force defensively. Lebron have one of the worse plus minus amongst the top players in the west
The Lakers are not trading Lebron.
Don't worry guys, LeBron's gonna activate playoff mode anyone now
Edit: LeBron been putting it cryptic tweets his whole career, tf you mean he's better than this
Lebron 🎉 planning for family vacation, he doesn't give a S$#!, he needs do his job and be a man!
Time is getting short so he can avoid a ped scandal
“Chaos follows him wherever he goes”
Chris Broussard let's get real, LeScapegoat is definitely not top 2 you cover the league for a long time put some respect on the guys that came before you and LeScapegoat. Do you watch the games? LeScapegoat plays no defense. LeScapegoat is the issue, Anthony Davis needs to get out of clutch sport and demand LeScapegoat get trade or trade him.
@4:02 In what reality are you living? Most respected player in the league? Respected by who? Respected by the millions of fans who have tuned out the NBA? By all the people who booed him at the Super Bowl? By the growing number of YouTube channels calling him out and exposing him for the fraud he is? By opposing players now constantly pulling his punk card? By the growing number of true Laker fans tired of the same old scripted drama year after year? The only people out there ‘respecting’ LeBron right now is the Klutch Sports influenced mainstream media cheerleading squad, his brainwashed cult following, and apparently YOU 🫵🏾. How can you respect a guy who throws teammates under the bus? Puts himself over others? Tweets like an entitled chump? Throws tantrums? Flops all the time? Creates a toxic fear-ridden team climate? Constantly crying for help instead of taking charge and building up his team? Goes against every principle of what it means to be a credible leader? Willing to use his own family as a stage prop to pad his image? Fake reads Malcolm X? You really have respect for that? You really think that’s a solid argument for why he deserves the number 2 spot?
Yes Men do whatever the higher ups tell them, Darvin Ham does whatever Prince James wants. Pelinka gave it up to get and keep James. The Buss family doesnt know a lick about basketball except to have sex with the help
Always drama with LJ.
21 years in and it’s still excuses and “times running out” threats to a franchise he has hijacked.
The Lakers could just let him go and be done with it.
He’s not worth it. His empty calorie stats are meaningless.
The LeBron hate is unreal 🤦♂️
If LeBron was as good as other all-time greats in year 21, he would've already been retired. That means that he's already in a league of his own and still going.
At least LeBron is actively trying to win. MJ quit 3 times, and without Pippen and Jackson, he never tasted the Finals again.
If you hate LeBron, just admit it to yourself in the mirror and move on. MJ at age 39 was only in year 14 compared to LeBron at year 21. 7 years less than LeBron and going nowhere without Pippen or Jackson. LeBron has been to the Finals with multiple teams, teammates, and coaches; against 4 different dynasties (Lakers, Spurs, Celtics, Warriors).
I doubt he is the most respected olayer in the world
LeBron haters will use any chance they get to pleasure themselves by insulting LeBron 🤦♂️
Don't even try to compare LeBron at age 39 to MJ at age 39. LeBron is in year 21 compared to MJ's year 14. MJ at year 14 was on his last leg and LeBron at year 14 was in his prime against the Warrior's dynasty.
If you're a LeBron hater, ask yourself how many dynasties he had to compete with. MJ had a good 6 years with Pippen and Jackson and could never touch the Finals again without them. LeBron did it 4 separate times. You still call MJ the GOAT? 😂
Oh no, LeBum whinging again, what a shocker.
Let's hope LeBum finds another super team to carry choke ass.
My thing is didn't the Lakers win the In Season Tournament with this crew? Everyone including Lebron said the win was legitimate and the team was good! Now fast forward and Lebron is mad they are not winning and y'all want to trade everybody to them to help Lebron when the fact is they have 2 top 10 if not Top 5 players in the league? Am I the only one who is confused about what they want? Oh a team of All Stars got it!😂
Should’ve traded lebron two years ago and not all your young pieces.
And this softboy wonders why he doesn't get his damn respect…
He gotta retire. 40 and still holding the team hostage
Lifelong Bay Area resident and warriors fan here. I would stop watching if they traded for Lebronze. Dude is a cancer and destroys every team from within with his passive aggressive b ass.
I agree, that narrative that Lebron is one of the best 2 players ever is getting old
Trade lebron. He flops way too much and he a liability in defense
Here is the thing with NBA, Everyone is Shooting 3 Points shots with No Defense, So Even Trashy teams will be able to beat you, Even Davis and the Fake Goat is doing great or the rest of the team, it is not the Coach Fault
Most respected in the league? What????!! By who? Lol
Lebron James is one.of the 2 best players ever….blasphemous
Kobe Bean Bryant
Let's don't forget Lebald got gang reipet 1-12 in 3 finals
lebron isn't even top 5 alltime
He cries for trades every year. He's the M.O.A.T! MOST OVERRATED OF ALL TIME
Most respected player in the league? Are you kidding me? Stephen Curry is that!!!
Lebron is such a loser and the nba is a trash, unwatchable product
Many don't respect LeBron A flopper and diva is not respected😂
I love how every other superstar gets to complain and criticize their teammates & coaches but if Lebron does it it's so awful…remember when Kobe through the entire organization under the bus because he wanted changes on the Lakers. The same Lakers who supported him during his rape trial and the public embarrassment he brought on the team and himself!
