For a player considered a superstar, this level of inconsistency is definitely concerning, especially in back-to-back games. Scoring single digits and having to rely on 38 year old LeBron to carry the team is just unacceptable

Its annoying as fuck, but its how it goes with him. He has a hip issue right now or something, idk. Maybe its an excuse maybe its truly bothering him on B2Bs. You can work with it because even without scoring he can still be a force on defense. And when he plays at his peak he is a top-5 player.

I've been saying this for years with this Lakers roster (AD and Bron plus role players) that the regular season just doesn't really matter. Last year tested that theory but they turned it on late after dealing with the Westbrook situation. If AD has to take games off (even when playing) and it means he will be able to function later in the season, I'll take some extra losses. The consequence is the player doesn't get his DPOY or MVP votes and people on reddit say he isn't top-10. Great, thats fair and fine but show me what he gives in the playoffs and I will judge that extremely critically.
