I had to turn it off, that was hard to watch even as a lakers fan.
Kinda hope the heat pulls it together because I was looking forward to this series.
If lakers win lebron is legit the GOAT, right?? This team was hopeless just a few seasons ago, the guy brings so much more to the team than being a good player.
I still don’t believe the lakers are that bad of an outside shooting team, when they run plays to set up those shots their percentages aren’t bad. KCP is a great shooter. kuzma and green are pretty good shooters. Davis is good from outside, and even lebron has his moments.
I just think they are usually focused on using their size to dominate the paint. Last night they shot great, and their post season 3pt % has actually been decent.
Yeah it’s a pretty easy thought experiment: replace Lebron with Wiggins or whoever and try to argue AD is just as good in that situation. Another aspect is AD was soft and limped out of games in Nola and Lebron would never have any of that shit. It’s sort of like AD is a chess piece Lebron never had and he’s extracting maximum value now.
I don’t really get your point. They added an all-star that can score and play defense reducing the load and attention on Lebron. Of course they aren’t as good without a second legit scoring threat because the opponent can just play a Bron Zone. That’s what happened to almost all of those Cleveland teams.
Well somebody was arguing that Lebron saved them and AD was basically a side piece. When the fact is that they were not very good with Lebron until AD got there.
Lebron unquestionably better. The only question is does AD have the potential to surpass bron? Dunno. I think it’s there but the guy doesn’t have that killer instinct like lebron does. Lebron would straight up murder someone to win a final. I don’t think AD has it in him.
