    The King planned this weekend well so that Bucks and Clippers, particularly Giannis and Kawhi marinate with these losses for weeks, and how they were defended, blown by and overpowered by LeBron.

    We've watched LeBron overpower Zion, Giannis and Kawhi. Beast. MVP.

    When LeBron is aggressive...he is the most intimidating force in the NBA.

    Giannis, Zion and Kawhi cannot compare to the speed/bulk combination. Unfortunately he is starting to show a little bit of age but is still at the top, probably just not every night.

    He was great against the Clippers. He wanted Kawhi when it mattered and he went to the rim with conviction. If he does that, it doesn't really matter who he plays against. Its going to be successful.

    That blocking foul in the crucial spot near the end of the game and reviewed and upheld was a load of steaming cow poop and they ought to be fined big time. He got there in time and both heels clearly in front of the restricted area. Just like the taunting call against us while Morris and especially Beverly did far worse.

    This "review system" is just a load of BS. Scrap the idea because it gets embarrassing.

    Monster. And yeah -- he wins this season with us -- he is the GOAT. Probably undisputed, even amongst Lakers fan like myself.

    Best in the game today.

    His in season and in game load management has been brilliant. Teams should take notes. He has managing his body down to a science. To be able to this at age 35, year 17, 2 zillion miles on the legs from playoffs and Olympics factored in... it's incredible. Post season Bron is a different animal and make no mistake, that's what we saw this weekend. He took it to the Finals MVP and front runner for this year's MVP and came out the victor in both games.

    To reiterate what I said after the Bucks game, if he plays D like this and attacks the rim like this then no player or team will stand between him and the trophy.

    I don't know if he can do that for potentially 14 games against the Clipps and Bucks combined. Need to get a couple sweeps to start the playoffs, get him as much rest leading up to those matchups as possible.

    Damn impressive given his struggles at the line and the rate he was attacking the rim in both games

    ...don't forget George. There was one play in the first half where James took him to the rack. George tried to stop him but ending up flying two, three feet the other way arms flailing. Then whining to the refs afterwards.

    Bron's strategy for crunch time: analyze the situation in real time, call out bad defenders, make them pay. Sounds simple, but it's actually really fun to see in slo-mo. I like how our perimeter players always understand what he is trying to do and they execute it well.

    LeBron James, who is listed as questionable, said he’ll play tonight.
