Yeah that is according to many NBA experts who have Portland in 9-10 in the west. |

Yes because 18 mins of basketball is just enough to question the reminding 81.75 remaining games |
It is actually from preseason predictions from NBA "experts" |

I forgot he even existed in the 2nd half.
This is the part I have hated Lebron for YEARS. Can get any bucket he wants and instead can disappear, turn the ball over constantly and lose the game.
This is not how you prove to be the GOAT. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

Lol putting the blame on LeBron for tonight’s game
He was the reason we had so many open looks on 3’s. There’s a thread about 3-point shooting woes. -> _________________ |

Looked old but still a great player...we must have some secret guarantee with KD or AD if we really think we're going to win a championship with a max'd out wrong side of 30 LeBron. |

He was pretty sloppy today, that behind the back pass was horrific. |

He runs the floor and dunks it like he's 25. What are you watching? He had horrible passes though. Hope the idea of Magic and Showtime isn't getting to him. Just be Lebron, and we'll be fine. |

He was thinking someone was going to cut to the basket. _________________ |

26/12/6 on 56% shooting and 89% from the stripe. Good debut!
News Alert: we lost because we missed so many open 3 pointers and couldn’t contain Staukus. _________________

I watched the whole game and not the first 2 minutes. He's still a great player but he looks old. We're supposed to be punting this year but this year will be the best version of LeBron that we'll have. I'm not exactly sure what the FO's plan is but maybe they got a guarantee from a certain player. |

LeBron should have had a triple-double. That dude is |

Lebron played the Julius Randle role tonight. Set a bunch of screens and Was mostly just a finisher.
It seems the Lakers want to change the way Lebron plays.
Hopefully the FO realizes at some point surrounding him with Rondo and Stephenson won’t work. |

A Lakers team making a role player look good has been a theme for many years, it will not change for a long time, the medicore players love to get up for Laker games... |

This loss is on Lebron!!!
He's never won a debut game with a new team. And that streak will never be broken! |

Can't believe his team didn't beat the Knicks in 2014. |

Well Lebron has started off 0-1 in a lot of things.
0-1 in the regular season, 0-1 in the rounds of the playoffs, 0-1 in his first Finals series...
Just keeping up tradition with Lebron I guess.
But hopefully Lebron doesn’t go 0-1 in his first home game here. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

Btw, can we talk about how those first two dunks galvanized the entire building? That was like the Moda Center on a game winner in the playoffs loud. The league is so happy to have him on the Lakers. He doesn't elicit a reaction like that on the Cavs. |

He was letting the young guys play in the 4th quarter, maybe looking how they respond? Also, that last behind the back pass was so bad. I'm not sure if he tried to get that to the corner shooter but it wasn't close. |
