LeBron James on social media: Sometimes you just have to cut that s*** out
LeBron James emerged and began getting dressed at his locker stall that’s adjacent to Davis’. He overheard Davis’ remarks and chimed in. “Sometimes you just have to cut that s–t out,” James told B/R in reference to social media. “Who do we need to listen to? Who? Exactly. Nobody.”

When LeBron James first started saying he wanted to play long enough for his oldest son, Bronny James, to join him in the NBA, it was more of a goal than a prophecy. Now it’s starting to look like father and son might actually speak it into existence. espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 11:00 AM

If there was a bright side to the Lakers getting thumped in Game 2, it was LeBron and AD playing fewer minutes than normal in a blowout. You could feel their increased energy in Game 3. Which could end up a factor again in Game 4 with LeBron/AD playing less than 35 minutes. AK – 11:28 PM

It’s best-case scenario for the Lakers here with the huge lead, to be able to rest LeBron and AD – especially LeBron – in the 4th Q, with Game 4 coming on Monday.
LeBron played 32 minutes, and Davis 33, with now 7 minutes to play and LAL up 105-77.
Curry played 32, Klay 33. – 11:03 PM

LeBron passed Kareem again. Tonight, he moved past him on the all-time playoff rebounding list. He’ll likely catch Shaq later in this series. (Tim Duncan would take LeBron couple more seasons, at least. And he’ll never get to Russell and Chamberlain, not on this list anyway.) – 10:53 PM

LeBron is at a place in his career where he’s gotta conserve his defensive energy, and sometimes that means picking his spots selectively, esp. in games where the Lakers aren’t playing well. But when the Lakers are rolling, he can still crank things up to bury an opponent. AK – 10:48 PM

LeBron James takes his first shot of the game with 8:04 to play before halftime.
BTW: That shot-less first quarter was the first time LeBron hasn’t attempted a field goal in a quarter since January 2021. – 9:25 PM

Darvin Ham goes with an early timeout with 8:47 left in first half. Warriors up 34-26.
LeBron with 4 rebounds and 4 assists… but his next free throw or field goal attempt will be his first.
No other Laker besides D’Lo and AD have multiple made FGs, and both are resting. – 9:22 PM

This arena’s WiFi remains terrible
Golden State led 30-23 at the end of 1.
Klay Thompson had 11. The Warriors are on pace for 20 3s.

As far as I can tell, that’s the first quarter all season, including the playoffs, that LeBron James has finished without a field goal attempt. – 9:12 PM

LeBron James didn’t take a shot in the first quarter.
I get that he’s hurt. I get that he’s old. The Lakers cannot win without him scoring 20+ – 9:12 PM

You think LeBron has played in some tough atmospheres? Just wait until Bronny gets to Assembly Hall for a 9 pm Tuesday game in January in front of 9,000 students that skipped all of their afternoon classes to get hammered before tip-off. Welcome to the Big 10 – 8:00 PM

Five minutes before a BIG game 3 between the Knicks & HEAT and we’re still talking Lakers-Warriors.
This argument between who’s better Curry or LeBron could have been saved to discuss at 8pm today!

An @ESPNStatsInfo gem: Devin Booker has scored at least 45 points on 70% shooting twice this postseason.
LeBron James is the only other player in NBA history with two such playoff performances in his career. – 1:36 PM

More on this storyline
With Los Angeles seemingly on a seesaw — losing by 27 on Thursday only to win by 30 two days later — LeBron James is urging his teammates to ignore the outside noise that comes in the aftermath of every game result. “For the young guys that haven’t been a part of the postseason or haven’t had much experience in the postseason, just stay off the TV and stay off social media,” James advised after putting up 21 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. “You win a game, everybody is the greatest player in the world; you lose a game, they’re throwing dirt on you. It’s literally that simple. It’s all about training your mind for the next challenge. And, ‘What’s the next challenge? This game is over with, we played well. OK, cool. But we got another on Monday.'” -via ESPN / May 7, 2023
LeBron James on Bronny: “To my knowledge, this is the first one of out the James gang to go to college. Obviously, his dad didn’t go to school. His mom didn’t go to college. I think my mom stepped on campus for a bit, maybe community college or something.” pic.twitter.com/GEsZk1z50S -via Twitter @hoopshype / May 7, 2023
