LSDAS GPA is all that really matters.

They care about the cumulative LSDAS GPA- sorry... throw an addendum at them and hope it sticks

Like others have said, cumulative GPA is the one that counts

If it makes you feel better, you will probably be looked at differently than a candidate who has the cumulative GPA but no extenuating circumstances.

LSDAS GPA = "cumulative GPA" on the LSAC report

As noted schools only care about your LSDAS cumulative GPA. No you don't need to mention that your grades dropped in the last semester. Also writing an addendum for the earlier grades is pointless unless you have a valid excuse like serious illness, death in the family, etc.
