As for the LeBron getting fouled and getting to the line. Some advice for the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron. 

The San Antonio Spurs were not going to challenge the Los Angeles Lakers and everyone in the building knew it. But the fouls that were not called will become an issue down the line especially in the playoffs. Frank Vogel stated that the team will notify the league.

Okay. So?

Here’s what LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are going to have to do. Send a message.

LeBron James: 

You are 6’8 260 pounds with about what 2% body fat? 1.5% maybe? The next time the officials ignore an obvious foul call, here’s what needs to be done. Sacrifice an offensive foul and run over the next player that tries to take a charge. Don’t worry about the foul, but send a message. Get in the post. We all know you can do this.

But hand out a few old school Karl Malone elbows and trust, the fouls will cease. The Spurs looked scared of you, the Clippers roster is full of players that are not.

By the way, if LeBron James is going to complain about not getting to the free throw line, he could have the common decency to hit them when he gets there. 3-of-8 from the line? Counterproductive don’t you think?

Los Angeles Lakers: 

Find a player on the roster that doesn’t mind laying the wood to someone to let them know not to harm the superstar on the team. I mean you realize this is why AD doesn’t want to play center, right? Dwight Howard has no issues putting someone on the floor with a hard foul. Jared Dudley already talked about not worrying about fines to protect his teammates.

Now in the politically correct climate, the NBA is in now, Lake Show Life is not in the business of trying to get players injured. This is a tactic used to protect the star players from being hurt. If LeBron and the team take this advice, the NBA and the referees will notice.

The Los Angeles Lakers go to Anthony Davis’ old stomping grounds on Wednesday. Lake Show Life will have the most in-depth coverage.
