LeBron is the problem of why the Lakers are not a championship team. LeBron is 2-12 in his last 14 playoff games. Goodbye LeBron your only playing for stats and not Championships.

Folks are obsessed with LBJ. Blaming him for all of their problems. LBJ Austin and Luka can’t guard anyone. Ayton isn’t a sufficient big man. And Rui is inconsistent. Most of the team miss wide off shots, so people just stack the paint. This TEAM is poorly constructed!!! GM Problem
