Reaves and Rui played well

LeBron was ok

AD was pretty bad. DLo was very bad

Good synopsis

How can you say LeBron was OK? He didn't hit one outside shot. He's no threat to the defense on the outside and they lag off and are able to help. He lost the ball by trying for a one handed dunk. He doesn't get back on defense and the Nuggets run getting easy buckets. He made a nice steal and then blew the layup.

Cuz he played well defensively , attacked the rim effectively (though wish he did it more), distributed and rebounded well. Poor outside shooting and some mishaps make it equal an OK game IMO overall

LeBron was +4 tonight

AD was -10

Dlo was -16. He was also -25 when next closest player was -8 in Game 1. Just atrocious

Plus/minus isn’t everything obviously but god damn DLo might need to play less

Played well defensively in a half court game but you can't discount him not getting back on defense allowing the Nuggets to run.

He definitely was lazy getting back a few times, I’ll give you that

That has been something that frustrates me at times, even though I’m a huge LeBron fan. That and his free throw shooting

The guy is 38. He obviously no longer has the energy to play both sides even when locked in....

Lakers should take game 3. Game 4 will decide if this is long or short series. I went in thinking winner of game 2 will end up winner of the series.

38 with 20 seasons + so many playoff runs

He clearly has to “pick his spots” to some level, especially with every other night and heavy minutes.

But he will forever be judged like he is 2013 LeBron

Can’t blame anyone else but LeBron?

LeBron shot like shit and could’ve played better, but he was good relative to AD tonight on both ends

People love to move the goal posts. Not long ago Lakers were gonna be the worst team in the NBA

. Then they wouldn’t make the play in. Then they wouldn’t beat the Grizzlies. Then they wouldn’t beat the Warrioes

LeBron has been down 2-0 in the conference finals twice. Won both series. Still a long way to go

Didn't watch game but do notice what ky1212 says is true when I do watch... LeBron does have lapses on getting involved on Defensive end... I'll need to look at his playing time but pretty sure if he plays 30 plus minutes his game or anyones at his age shows later... Jovic is best player in game today. Period!

Can’t think of any superstar that complains and whines more than LeBron….
So true

If he isn't complaining about other players, refs & calls or no-calla, then he's complaining/crying about fans in the arena

And then off the court in real life he's always complaining about stuff too, with much of it made up in his head

Lebron is by far the most disliked athlete all-time, and for good reason

Little flop talk... Tell Lebron to hit Vegas lots of Flops their... It's odd that EMT's aren't called to ✔️ him out and 10 seconds later he has a steal and goes the length of the court in 3 steps?

New Rule... If anyone appears to have a possible medical injury.... A 2 minute mandatory rest for medical observation is to be ruled.. We can call it the Lebron Rule! Not Lebron Rules...
