LeBron & advertisement were terrific. << br><> < br>> This defense is simply not sustainable to win anything. << br>> 69 points at the half to Miami.<< br>> 64 at the half to Atlanta. << br><> < br>> Trying to outscore the other group every night is outright hell.

Lakers got a 39-point triple-double from LeBron and 38, 10 and 8 from advertisement and still lost. Wow.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis integrate for 77 points and both had great protective video games and they still lost

A gut punch loss for the Lakers here in Atlanta, falling 134-132 in OT, after a couple late video game miscues haunt them. LeBron’s 39 pts, 11 ast, 10 reb, 3 blk and advertisement’s 38 pts, 10 reb, 8 ast, 2 blk isn’t sufficient to stop their skid as LAL’s leaders likewise integrated for 10 turnovers.

Lebron & advertisement both went supernova tonight & it still wasn’t enough. << br><> < br>> Crazy! lol
Grant Shirley @Grant_Shirley4
I understand the Lakers have actually been ruthless recently, however it is extremely challenging to beat them when both LeBron and advertisement play like the method they did tonight << br><> < br>> Great win by the Hawks
