Yeah I think it's funny people seem to be elevating his first Finals MVP as well. That was the same as the Iggy one: sort of held Lebron in check...
There is no question that Kawhi is their best player: hell he's got the claim of best player in the league after last year's run even with Giannis...
Lebron's been load managing in season since he left Miami. That last year in Cleveland was infuriating to a lot of fans as he would be a statue...

Collison and Iggy to replace those two and it basically fixes all the Lakers holes. One can dream
Why is this infuriating: it's not just the eye test but also the +/-. Rondo is the only Laker with a negative +/- with AD/Lebron: that is...
Yeah: that's the most obvious finishing lineup we have. 3 shooters around AD/Lebron, all solid defenders except Kuzma whose been improving, good...
No way lou is important as Harrell. Harrell is their only capable big: he plays excellent positional defense and the combination of his...
It will be funny if the guy they don't load manage (Harrell) gets hurt. He's the f***ing key to that team. Everyone else even Kawhi they can...
With those long arms, him always going away from the basket on his post moves is frustrating. It should be a counter move as if he's going to the...
He's trying to play the game the "right way" as Lebron says. He's trying on hard on defense, making the hockey pass, etc. Would really help him...
Just want to turn the game off when he comes in. Dumb passes, dumb layup attempts, hold the ball way toooooo long. Uggh
They definitely should be playing Kuzma with Lebron/AD more, even if it just to see how it wrks
In terms of the 4 wanting to stay the 4, Duncan did the same thing his entire career and he was bigger than AD. So did KG. The big difference is...
Way too much angst over this loss: Lakers were due for a blowout and it was definitely one of those games where all the bounces and iffy calls...
Cook and Daniels ain't going to be able to defend guys like Brown/Tatum/Leonard/George/Siakam etc. Real issue is can Kuzma play with Lebron...
Bradley and Rondo worry me: against good defenses their lack of shooting just makes it so hard to score. Bradley while he has the defensive rep,...
Look if you are not going to be able to play him AD at the 5 and Lebron then he needs to be traded for someone who can. He's shown glimpses of...
That's going to happen till the Lakers can get an upgrade over Rondo: don't blame Vogel for that. But a real head-scratcher not going with Kuzma...
He seemed well .... like he was very rusty from no practice and no games
