there's gonna be an awkward silence from Laker haters during that moment our team goes up by 20 against the Staples Center Squatters
That's what I kept thinking to myself when Slippers got dumb and dumber. Paul,JJ,Griffin&Jordan was a legit team that never made it to the WCF&the West wasn't nearly as strong as it is now IMO. The 2014-15 Slippers team was low key stacked. Other notable players on that roster besides the main guys I listed above: Jamal Crawford,Austin Rivers,Reggie Bullock,Turkoglu,Matt Barnes,Big Baby,Farmar,Chris Douglas-Roberts,Nate Robinson.
I’m not afraid of Beverly, and I highly doubt AB is in the least. I just thought it was really funny that Dudley was talking trash on AB’s behalf, Dudley already cracks me up. As far as a Beverly and AB matchup though? Please, bring it on, Beverly is %90 mouth and hustle, the rest is actual skill. This isn’t rookie Zo he’s going to face and intimidate with that schtick, Bradley has been in playoff battles before with the C Bags.
talking smack is fun and might even be effective until you face superior competition, then you just look foolish Might be fun to see some of the Clips be real quiet when we play them next year.
Gosh imagine if we signed Beverley&had to back him up. Dude squirts out too much unnecessary sauce for his skill level but as we all know without that extra sauce he's still playing in my old hood, Athens Greece.
Soooo.. green on PG and LeBron on the slower Leonard right? PS- anyone know career stats on those matchups(or vise versa say IF LeBron has better %'s VS PG instead).
I like that we have 2 trees in the post behind them that play decent defense as well, and the offensive capabilities of the Clipper front court.... is well, offensive. I think there is a matchup issue in our favor at this time.
If we get the Clippers...really thats where AD has to earn his money. Zubac is slow-footed and has been exposed in the past regularly by faster Cs like Aldridge, AD etc...With the Clippers having the best perimeter defense in the NBA by a big margin, we have to do our damage inside. AD with his speed and Boogie with strength and brutality. We often chose to play Williams against these faster Cs because Zubac would be producing and1s like every trip down the road. That has to be our key to beating the Clippers. Although I think LeBron will get his 20-30 in usually efficient manner, regardless of who defends him. I'm also of belief that AD and James complement each other better than George and Kawhi. They duplicate a lot of what they do...can't have enough of them (I know) but it remains to be seen how their chemistry develops and who is more on and who is more off the ball.
I'm starting to think we should consider certain block lineups. Starters: Bradley/Green/LeBron/Davis/Cousins Pick and roll: Cook/Daniels/LeBron/Kuzma/Davis "New Orleans": Rondo/Pope/Dudley/Davis/Cousins Offense: Cook/Green/LeBron/Kuzma/Davis Defense: Bradley/Green/LeBron/Davis/McGee Victory: Caruso/Horton-Tucker/Daniels/Dudley/McGee
I mean, they are so awesome. They control the medi..... I mean even reporters are always speaking so positively about them. Even for the Lakers or with Golden State winning multiple titles, I've never been around such a great organization. All they have to do now in win so I don't look senile.
Pat Riley pulled the same horse**** after the Heat won the title in 2006. He said this was the most satisfying title. Which was total b*******. He coached the Lakers team in 1985 that finally beat the C Bags in the Finals AND did it in Boston.
bron has been torched by Kawhi since his san Antonio days on offense and Kawhi always had the clamps on lbj
We'll see. Kawhi with his load management now to have the health for playoffs and Lakers muscle beating up on him and his his calcifying quad muscle. Dude's older now too. Big
LeBron averaged 27 10 and 6 against him in the Playoffs,while Kwahi averaged 16 9 and 1. Kwahi does have a 7-5 record against him though. Not really sure anyone can put the clamps on him.
