    And yet he still drove and got to the hoop many times down the stretch. Amazing stuff from Lebron. I won't throw dirt on him just yet.

    Not trying to throw dirt, he’s just up there, he’s injured and playing through it, he should not have to be asked to carry this much. We have a 30 year old superstar that’s supposed to be carrying the load and isn’t.

    Tell you what though:

    1. he rarely offensive-fouls on his drives
    2. he gets no calls

    So... if he was getting Ja calls, he'd be much better

    Definitely not saying you are Weezy. Just saying I won't. Some other cats on GT were and I found it annoying, but you weren't.

    Agree. One of the many narratives about him is that he gets all the calls. It’s completely inaccurate. That and he isn’t clutch (also BS).

    Have to give it to him, that was a hell of an effort. Dude's a billionaire, has all the accolades but has more desire than guys half his age.. it's pretty impressive his will to win.

    I agree w some posters above me. Taking into acct his fatigue which seemed clear the last two games… he doesn’t have a quick first step, nor quick drives, and can’t jump as high anymore. He really cannot blow by anyone 1 on 1, nor does he really have “handles”.

    He’ll totally rise up higher than normal once in a while, but not as much as he used to.

    Despite this, he was awesome in crunch and I’m very glad he accepted to come to our Lakers when nobody wanted to for the longest time. I will always appreciate him for bringing us back to relevance, bringing AD here, and the 2020 title.

    There is still so much excitement from our fans and the league really, when he plays.

    I was very happy to see him finally take a “last shot” versus deferring and getting ahead early to start OT. Thank you LBJ!!!!

    Worth pointing out: only one turnover in 45 minutes.

    That's while being the focus of the defense. It's not like Roddy (aka Fat Brooks) having zero turnovers because everyone looks away when he has the ball because he's that irrelevant.

    :LLLLLebronlaughing:

    I just had to LOL at Roddy as Fat Brooks - I can't say I wasn't thinking the same thing this whole series. He's a chunk.

    Ham played LeBron the last 20 minutes of the game straight...without a rest. (3Q 3:09 on)

    Dude is gonna run him into the ground. No wonder he looks tired late. GET THIS MAN A BREAK IN THE 4TH.

    No AR like everyone else kept serving up JJJ like they were waiters.

    Team needs to figure out how to get AD the ball when JJJ rotates off of him. This was the big change Memphis made wa put Tillman on Lebron and let JJJ leave AD to protect the rim.Reaves, Rui, DS all got rocked by this switch.

    It was only Lebron who ploughed thru it or got JJJ on his hip. Ham needs to put AD in the dunker spot so the team can find him when JJJ rotates

    If DLo hit a few more 3s or didn't foul out but the team looked lost without Lebron with the way Memphis switched their D up. They got ina roll to begin with when Lebron sat in The second
