"How can you ask me that .... I don't know ..... ask Kawhi"

 

I read yesterday his "groan" was sore again (some level?) and Kuz has some level of sore ankle from a turn.

Too early for "and so it begins"?


Yes LT .... STFU

LT you have to put images like this in spoiler tags. We want people to be able to go on LB at work.

Hope it wasn't her fault!!??!!
I will like her better as an owner of a sports team when she gets really old. I just have to figure over the last few years that more than one player has wanted to sleep with her. It will be better when that is not a concept. LOL

 

It is clickbait.
Covers listed like half roster injured,including Caruso.

 

.... come on now .... like her just fine

Probably. Hope so. Was on "injury report" graphic I saw on LG.

 

OH heck, I love her as the owner, just making a joke. However, when she was posing for Playboy, I liked her just a few inches more!!

 

LeBron came through at the end.

 

He needs to figure out what to do in the midrange as he gets older. When he was younger, he was so fast and explosive off 2 steps you couldn't drop fast enough to keep him from the rim. Now he seems to get lost if the big drops below the FT line leaving him open. Part of the issue he is playing more like a PG now and he wants to find open shooters when he can't get to the rim. Overall though he needs to use the mini hook which he's actually pretty good at or improve on that pull up of his.

Overall his defense was way more impressive than his offense tonight: just not many guys who can cover basically 1-4 like James can apparently still do. Kawhii is a freakin big dude.

 

Agree...there are limitations there.

However, I don't think if the Lakers played with only 1 big on the floor and 3 shooters, the game would be much easier for him.

Specifically, Houston and the Clips needs to get a healthy dose of AD at the 5...

 

Very true: this is what happened against Dallas in the Finals and then Miami/Cleveland went with shooters across the board to solve that riddle. You pull the rim protector away with the opposing big at the 3 point line so that Lebron has only one guy to beat to get to the rim off the PnR. Still, it's not something he's good at. His midrange jumper is solid if he's starting from the FT line in or if he's posting up but he just never looks super solid at the pull-up midrange game. A bit strange as he's clearly gotten better at pulling up from 3.

-Also, the Clips won't admit but they are far more solid on defense without Lou and Harell. Williams is a terrible defender and Harell's lack of height/length make it easy to attack the rim.
-Lebron didn't really try to post up tonight and the defensive stats say that's surprisingly one area Leonard despite his size and length isn't particularly good at.

 

Agree.

The option to post-up is there, too (as you noted). I wouldn't mind him starting from the elbow or free throw line extended down.

 

Lebron clamped down when it mattered and wow was that impressive. All that time off must have been great on that body.

 

Bron will play bully ball when it matters , he showed it in March .

The break wasn't a good thing for him as he has to regain confidence and trust in his J
