    Breen and Van Gundy were absolute idiots for calling out LeBron for not shooting enough early on as he led the team facilitating. They were down by 11 and then went up by 13 as LeBron picked apart the Dubbs defense.
    They should apologize to him and us fans.

    It was a blowout win but I didn't like some of the passes early when he was attacking the rim .

    They have no rim protection and we're a poor 3pts shooting team .

    I thought he already quit by not taking a shot in the 1st q. On second though, i think the game plan was to make DAngelo the scorer in the 1st. Russell usually takes control of the ball during 3rd quarters. This time they let him do it early in the game.

    Lebron had 11 shot attempts and we won by 30 pts. Leave that man alone.

    GSW was very focused on him, he confused them in the 2nd quarter. He confused them in game 1 even Draymond mentioned him playing off the ball was weird.

    I'm loving the blowouts and early exit wins they play limited minutes. Should be as fresh as possible Monday.

    when someone is that talented and can affect the game with scoring, passing, rebounding, and defense, AND you don't know what their focus will be the following game, it can make it tough to game plan for them.

    Gave him s*** for looking out of it in the first quarter and start to the second. Then he took over offensively and showed great effort defensively the rest of the game until it became a blow out and he got some rest in the 4th.

    HIs patience threw the Warriors off. Hopefully he remains efficient in game 4.

    I see Bron being more aggressive to start this game and AD starting a little slower. He needs to get on that block and punish the defense cause they don't have anyone that is strong enough to handle him down there.

    Very ugly at times.. 9 threes... But props for showing mental toughness and for knocking down 4 straight clutch free-throws. You can tell he wanted this game badly.

    He's got no lift.since the foot injury.
    But credit GS they are a f***ing tough defensive team when they go with Green Wiggins and GP2.

    The 3s weren't there but he was masterful running the offense when the chips were down. Big one for LBJ.

    Incredibly stupid threes. But extremely clutch free throws. Not his best game, but he'll bounce back, be more efficient next time and finish this 4-1.

    Some of the 3's were really stupid tonight: no reason you need to shoot early in the shot clock.

    Need to get in the post more going forward. The Lakers were doing well with those in the 1st half and they just went away from it.

    TBH DLo not having it really hurts Lebron: he can't play off ball if the Lakers lead guard is over-dribbling and putting up dumb shots and passes. D Lo just needs to calm down a bit and let the game come to him and Lebron can be off ball more

    Yes, especially seeing that he was off from 3. He wanted the knock out punch. I can live with that three more than the off the dribble BS however

    Yeah I'll give him credit though for organizing the offense to attack Curry and letting Lonnie cook.

    Do we play him and AD in game 5 or "save" them for game 6 in LA?
    The bad 3pt chucking must be related to his foot. At least i hope it is.
