Lebron should be #1 , it’s his own fault that he is not

Players from the past played a tougher game , more demanding, more physical

The game today, How do you judge them?
He is

Hornets on a 20-1 run

Lead LA by 6 early 4th

All triggered by a terrible missed call that resulted in 2 quick techs for AR and another missed call the next Lakers possession. Those two calls alone resulted in an 8 pt swing with the resulting two Hornets possessions. Seemed awfully quick trigger on those two techs, the second while AR was walking away.

Ugly game overall, lots of turnovers and poor shooting until the Hornets got hot in the second half.

That seems pretty on par for his season numbers. Don't know what was expected of him, but this is what they signed up for.

He didn't put up stats, but at least he wasn't a complete pylon like he was in his first game. He had some tipped rebounds and held his position defensively better this time around.

In his defense Mark Williams is stiff competition, maybe they should have traded for that guy.

Didn't exactly outperform Hayes by much (if at all). 10 pts on 3-7 and 9 rebounds in 29 minutes (-5) vs Hayes' 8 pts on 4-5 and 4 boards and 2 steals in 18 minutes (+12). Lakers still keeping small ball a decent portion of their rotation.

Hornets centers were 3-10 on the game. Lakers centers weren't the issue last night. Len was somehow a +8 and Hayes a +12. Maybe they should back off the small ball lineups.
