Those "fans" really need some basketball education lol. Why expecting too much for some of the players in the pre-season? Pre-season games are designed to test the waters especially for the team that composed of new players so that when official season starts, somehow there's already a build up chemistry.
No need to force to win every pre-season games as everyone's target must remained healthy once season starts.
Those fans are probably trolling, lol. I'm sure that they know that pre-season has no bearing whatsoever, sort of just shaking the cobwebs of every player and bad games doesn't mean that it will go on til the start of the NBA season. So I'm not surprised about those criticising both James and Hayward pre-season performance.
Obviously trolling or they are just expecting too much from those players. But of course superstars should not play their A game in a pre-season match to avoid an unnecessary injuries.
I think they are just starting to heat things up since it is just the Pre Season. Pre Season will not be counted until the Regular Season starts next next week on October 16, 2018.
I don't know why people are making a big stuff or predictions about the Pre Season but it is just the pre season. It don't count, instead of being disappointed in the results of the first games, we shuold be really hyped in the start of the regular season.
Lebron is better in Regular season because he knows how important a single win for the Lakers in order for them to qualify in the playoffs.
