No Lou Williams on that list? I really like chicken wings...buffalo sauce, lemon pepper or honey BBQ.
I honestly don't care who we get although I'm kind of pulling for the Heat just because you know C Bags and everything. I like our chances either way.
Maaan some of those names... If you read these names and can picture what they look like, how they played... this ones for you
damn, feels like so much longer than 10 years since the last time they were in the finals all those losing seasons last decade didn't help the time pass too fast. love seeing it, but they've still got some games to win first
All of it just adds to how special of a run this is. this team has answered the call on every level. Even during games just when I’m back ready to ship Green, KCP, Kuz, etc etc out of town they step up with a big play at just the right moment. There was a long stretch where I didn’t even want to watch hoops after Kobe passed. Watching this team come together, quiet critics, and give us all something to cheer for again after the tragedy has truly been something to see. Now we just gotta finish the job
I’m excited more that we made it and the Clippers didn’t. I always knew we’d be here, I just didn’t know how we would get here. It’s not a surprise for me. I haven’t been on here that much this season and after Kobe; man it was hard for me to even think about basketball. For me, it doesn’t matter who we play because I believe we’re winning #17. For the organization; for the fans; and for Kobe and GiGi. Let’s bring it back home where it belongs.
And I remember every last one of the players we’ve had this past decade since I didn’t miss any games. Dark time y’all, lol, dark, dark times. I really hope we never have to go through that again. We’ve never really built through the draft, but I hope as the years go by we never allow ourselves to ever have players like Robert Sacre, Marshon Brooks, and Dwight Buycks on our roster. I know this is for another thread, but I just wanted to say that.
I will gladly eat some serious crow.. I never wanted LeBron, Rondo or Howard on this Team. We're not back in The Finals without them. Job's not finished. Let's get this..!!
Boston worries me more than the Heat. This is even though the Heat have been the best team in the bubble and Bam is way better then any Boston big man but outside of that I don't think the Heat physically challenge the Lakers. They have guys and the experience now after playing Lillard/Harden/CJ/Murray of chasing/defending quick guards who can PnR or go 1v1 and then play the drive and kick game. AD seems to relish going against Bam and with Dwight back there Bam doesn't case a mismatch. Boston on the other hand has been the type of team that has caused the Lakers problems multiple 6'8 guys who can defend Lebron and also make him work on the defensive end seems a recipe for Lebron to wear down which has been an issue in the bubble. The Heat are the better team but I don't see as many mismatches that the C Bags can create.
Lakers fans are funny. "We've suffered so much in 10 years, not going to the finals every other year in our exists, winning half the titles in the NBA, oh LORT, bless us for all the suffering!" Kings fans standing over here with Nuggets fans...."MAN (BLEEP) YOU!"
C Bags best Bron defender is... Smart. I would loveto kick their butts in the Finals, but i rather not risk it and hope Miami gets there instead.
I'm ok with this: he wanted to have his own team. He already ran on the cocktails of Duncan/Manu/Parker and with that title in Toronto, Kawhii can do what Kawhii wants. George wanting to stay with OKC instead of joining Lebron: now that was stupid. Maybe he thought Lebron was getting old but he had to know giving the Lakers cap situation and the trade assets that they had the Lakers with Lebron/George would have quickly been able to add a 3rd guy
I don't agree with this and this is why Boston scares me a bit tbh. They can throw Hayward, Tatum, Smart, and Brown at Lebron and three of those guys are big wing with good athleticism. Brown in particular has a nice combo of strength and athleticism. AD is going to have to punish Boston is because Lebron is going to have to go thru a wall of multiple good defenders
