    Agreed on all of that. It seanms to me though we do have other guys stepping up regularly and especially since the ASB.

    Anthony Davis has now officially won more games in a season then he ever has before (49) and still has 20 games remaining

    LBJ is a helluva of drug.

    Find someone who looks at you the way AD looks at Lebron.

    When the season began I was thrilled that we had what I considered two of the top five players in the NBA. I have reassessed the situation and I now feel that we actually have two of the top three players in the NBA. I'd put Lebron number one, Giannis number two, and Anthony number three. AD is the best 2 way player in the NBA this season. I'd put a slightly diminished Kawhi as number 4, then the offensive-only guys like Luka and Harden at 5 and 6.

    LeBron is unstoppable driving to the basket while also being the best passer and playmaker in the league. He makes everyone on our team a threat which is every bit as lethal as Kobe and Shaq.

    Why not? They're always expected to do the heavy lifting. That's the only way we're going to win the chip.

    Because it isn't enough. If Kawhi+PG also has it going, we need others to step up. This isn't a two-man team...

    I agree that we will certainly need other guys to step up, but Lebron AD doing the heavy lifting and the bulk of the scoring is to be expected. Those guys each average 25 plus points a game with Lebron adding close to 11 assists and AD a bunch of boards, blocks and steals. But sure, we want contributions from the other starters (I'm looking at you Danny Green!!! The sometimes Invisible Man), and our improved bench with Morris. Who knows, Waiters might even help?

    The question is whether you need the SAME guy to step up after the stars. The answer is no. Just somebody.

    A good coach has that feel hopefully to get the most out of his rotations in real time based on what is happening and not past stats. For all the role players.

    Save the Rondo sucks. I know. But this also isn't the playoffs.

    I think it’s good to have more consistent scoring among the secondary players. Sure guys can get hot but if a player is taking X amount of shots nightly, he should be able to be counted to score X points.

    Had a wide open shot to win the game and missed. Let's hope he doesn't miss again in the future. That's about as good of a look as you'll get...

    yeah on Christmas day it was Kuz , it was Bradley 3 days ago.

    Kuz , KCP , Green and Bradley are all capable to score the 18-20 pts needed once each in the series

    He did make the previous two in order to get us that close.
