Thought if you had lebron it was an automatic trip to finals.hmmm it’s almost like he only made it all those times because he was in the east

Lakers are hopeful for 7th seed because that’ll put them against Denver Nuggets who Lebron and team mates would be able to handle with considerable ease in the playoffs.

How can it be a disappointment? Lebron fans have such zero standards that they call him GOAT for losing in the Finals 6 times. That’s right- Lebron’s PARTICIPATION MEDALS make his fans orgasm.

How is it already disappointment? The man led a huge bag of skittles to the 4th Seed!

Most disappointing this is Max is still talking basketball. No, the season isn’t a disappoint yet only because Bron has missed like a quarter of the season but losing in the first round to the Warriors is ok? Not only that but losing in 5 or 6 games to the Warriors makes the season a success? FOH. No one in the league has people making *THAT* kind of excuse of them. Get off his balls Max.

“But Magic Johnson got LeBron!” Yes, Magic got the biggest star that no other star wants to orbit ? around. And these stars who don’t want the media to orbit ? around them.

I’m with Will on this. A game 6 against the Warriors is an amazing accomplishment? Get off his nuts Max. Stick to boxing you were already terribly wrong with the NFL don’t try with the NBA.

It would’ve been a disappointment if the patriots lost super bowl 51

There could be a western conference finals match up against the warriors the lakers will have to face the nuggets and beat them in 6 and the rockets beat them in 7 games in the second round and maybe get swept in the western conference finals

you heard it here, I believe Bron has hit a turning point of “slowing down” .

I believe Kobe dragged a kwame brown filled team to the playoff I believe 8th seed, so then it’s no fucking excuse to bring this laker team who actually has legit to the playoffs Lebron it’s no way

How is this Lebron’s fault? they were ranked #4 in the WC before his injury and then the LA Cavs go 6-12 and they still expect him to pick up the pieces?

One thing I’ve learnt is to never place my bets against LeBron until the NBA finals. He has always found a way and whether or not he does this year, I wouldn’t bet against him. He was injured and I still think the Lakers are going to keep advancing in the playoffs until they meet the Warriors.

Whether you love or hate LeBron, if he plays this Lakers squad into the playoffs… you gotta appreciate him. If he gets them past the first round… marvel at him. And dammit, if they face the Warriors in the Conference Finals… you gotta respect him. Then again, if they don’t make the playoffs….

I wouldn’t call it a dissapointment, he got Injured, he can’t help that. When he was healthy they were the 4th seed. You can’t put that on him
