Might be a tough narrative to try and blame both because it looks like he is just breaking down.

Which excuse will LeBron or his camp get out postgame?

Update: Already teased in the media not that long ago:

Luka being sick game three was a series changer.

They will be fine. Grab two rim running lob threats and the Lakers will be in the Western conference finals next year.

lol doesn’t matter the excuse you want to use. Playing iSO ball the whole time, no inside presence and 1 legit star. Nobody can win that way

LeBron needs to retire, dude is ruining his legacy. He was a non-factor when needed most

Blame JJ Reddick for not playing their center and letting Gobert go off for 27 pts and 24 rebs.

99% of his buckets were uncontested or spot ups. Anytime he tried a take he had to kick the ball and was blocked at the rim by little guys multiple times. If he was smart he’d play in the post more, rebound and save energy but he’s never learned how to play, he can only do what he’s always done and he isn’t like that anymore.

Oh I'm sure it'll be JJ's fault

Just like it was Darvin Ham's fault

And Frank Vogel's fault


Etc...

Without a player over 6’8….. Gobert feasted with 27 points and 24 rebounds last night. No way they expected to win with Finney Smith playing Center.

ESPN made a big point to say that Luca got hurt driving to the goal.

And of course its JJ Reddick's fault.

Lee Bron will get another coach fired. He is running out of options.

The Lakers cannot guard on the perimeter. Gobert was not posting up and getting jump hooks. He was getting offensive rebounds and lobs off of penetration. LeBron, Reeves, Luka can’t guard anyone
