![r/lakers - [Buha] LeBron James practiced today and will be listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game, per Frank Vogel. “There’s a chance that he plays if things go well,” Vogel said.](https://a.thumbs.redditmedia.com/XwbeReH2F0c98dETL67e0bJvPU26BIpYHihg_YOS0t8.jpg)
He's not a Laker
Bingo. Does anyone remember AD just annihilating the Warriors last postseason? When has Gobert ever done anything similar? He’d get played off the court vs the Warriors.
I'm just messing with you because of your psychosis about Lakers either being respected too much (opponents play their best against them) or disrespected (this post). Make up your mind(s).
Easy. The Lakers respected in people’s minds, but they won’t admit it. It’s the ultimate gas light.
Nobody thinks Rudy Gobert is a better defender than AD, but they don’t want to say it out loud because they hate him and the Lakers.
I don't think anyone hates AD, and the Lakers, other than the bubble-chip, haven't really been on any serious NBA fans mind since the rapist retired.
Remember when this sub a week ago was saying Gobert was worth the 4! first rounders?
He’s trash but he’s going to look great against Charlotte, Toronto, Detroit, and Washington next year and will get his record breaking 5th award.
I thought he was never going to win another after the Clippers played him off the floor, but...
We gonna pretend anthony davis can guard jokic? Did everyone just forget how badly Gobert humiliated the suns in the first round? Or how bad everybody on the nuggets except jokic looks when they attack him.
Gobert is trash in the playoffs EVERY SINGLE YEAR
You don't know what you're watching if you think gobert hasn't played amazing defense this playoffs, or last playoffs. Or basically any playoffs, but I won't blame you for getting tricked into thinking the demise of the Jazz was his fault
How’s the Nuggets emotional let down going
We saw that in games one and two. Unfortunately the national media began writing them off too and it relit the fire.
Rudy caused the covid outbreaks in Sports so Bill will always be pissed at that Lakers title in the bubble
Because he plays better defense than anthony davis
Hmm. You wouldn’t be able to tell that by watching them play basketball
If you're not a moron you can tell. Not saying ad is bad. He's just not gobert.
