Btw, LeBron is about to shock people with how quickly he is gonna recover and be back in the starting line-up. It’s very clear he has been Rejuvenated with Luka coming in 1) he realize that all the sudden his team is a serious contender to win it all, and at this age LeBron mainly cares about winning titles, or having a chance too.
2) through Luka coming in and taking over the reigns of running the offense, something LeBron has been wanting for years now. It has allowed LeBron to use his experience and basketball IQ too become what is essentially the best Swiss Army knife player in the NBA. Lastly, with LeBron not expending as much energy on offense, all the sudden he is back to being one of the most versatile as welll as one of the best overall defenders in the NBA. Man is making chase down blocks on dudes that are half his age look fucking easy.
P.S. So crazy how badly Bron was robbed of DPOY in the 2012-2013 season. Guy who won it didn’t even make the all-nba 1st team defense LOL. Leaving the DPOY trophy as the only award he never one. Honestly, he deserved to win it 3 different time in his career and was robbed. 2012-2013 was just the worst robbery lol.
This the thing Lakers lost cause no Hayes or Rui then also Luka, Lebron,AR none of them are fully healthy an they need chemistry also Celtics have been this team for a minute also you may say they are missing Kristaps but they won the chip with him barely their was also alot of fouls from Boston I agree I said this allows Luka to go off then the team when everyone is back will be amazing
Lakers need this Luka to be like at the start of his career athletic but scoring alot more an we need the rest of the Lakers to lock in an help an this show JJ Redick after going against this team will get better also we almost made a comeback
Over summer Lebron needs to workout with Luka an get him back to his athletic prime then Hayes needs to put on some weight also try an get Cam Johnson who is a good shooter an one of the centers Evan Mobley, Jalen Duren, Bam Adebayo, Nicolas Claxton, Mitchell Robinson, Myles Turner
I think if Luka plays with a : – strong guy like Rui (or Trey Jemison or Vando), – a lob threat and defense presence like Hayes (or Koloko) and has – Austin(or Gabe Vincent or Goodwin) and – DFS (or Knecht or Cam Reddish) in the starting five… he is good enough to take almost any team apart. Of course Lebron can come in anytime and terrorize the best teams at any point.
Luca is just back from an injury; it's not the time for heroics. Don't you remember when Kobe put his entire team on his back… it resulted in a shredded Achilles. Luca needs to make his team better, not score 45 points per game. Luca needs to share the ball with Reaves, letting Reaves be a playmaker too, and continue to involve other players. Not dominate… be a leader. Make others around him better. Not exhaust himself to point of injury.
Its nice to praise Luka, but his shooting is bad this year, he is is shooting 41 and 32 percentage from 3 and i dont think it will be better without Lebron in the lineup and there is also a danger of getting seriously injured. I don't believe they can beat Milwaukee. We'll see if they can even beat the Nets. I think you're underestimating the things LeBron does for this team.
He creates so many open shots and easy shots/dunks close to the rim, they have really felt the time when Rui and Hayes are out or AR had a bad shooting night. Unfortunately, the Lakers have pushed themselves very hard and got a lot of injuries. Luka opens up the game when he has great centers and shooters.
Overall, this will be a great test and a good time to test rotations. Hopefully, Luka and AR goes off and Lebron can rest up properly, and the freight train will come back with full energy for the playoffs. I'm not sure how important it would be for them to stay top 4, but the Lakers have to be careful they don't strain their players before the playoffs. They have a lot of things to test and several players that need to build chemistry and get into form, so they have several interesting and difficult choices to make.

For Luka to dominate without LeBron? Easy work he doing that with LeBronze
ofc lebron is a negative net rating. He doesnt play any defense and doesn't box out lol
It is a great opportunity for him & his mates.

It's time to shine, Luka.
I think if Luka plays with a :
– strong guy like Rui (or Trey Jemison or Vando),
– a lob threat and defense presence like Hayes (or Koloko) and has
– Austin(or Gabe Vincent or Goodwin) and
– DFS (or Knecht or Cam Reddish) in the starting five…
he is good enough to take almost any team apart. Of course Lebron can come in anytime and terrorize the best teams at any point.
If he's got enough motivation it could be possible

If you watch the games Luka it's definitely a To machine
Lebron and his fake injury 😂

Luka’s numbers are insane, but can he really carry the Lakers without LeBron? Or will the team struggle without LeBron’s leadership and experience?
Get a genuine rim protecting lob threat for him and youre away

Show em Luka
luka is injury prone
The problem here is he's also hurt his back. No matter how small, it will affect his game.
This was my first time seeing vando get worked 😅 happens to the best of them 🤷♂️
