Green and Looney can give AD fits while Sabonis would be barbecue chicken on both ends . Looney would be breaking our balls with his offensive rebounds too . Wiggins would defend Bron better than Barnes . On the minus side , Fox and Mitchell are better defensively than the Warriors backcourt . Lebron would control the tempo , I'm not too worried about that
We won in 6, how I thought it would go. Memphis are a damn good team. I’m not phased by who we play in the next round, I think it goes 6 again either way.
Same. I think we showed tonight what most of us have always believed, we’re really tough to play against if AD and LeBron are locked in. Our supporting cast played really well. Defense was great. And despite a lot of criticism and some mistakes along the way, I thought Ham was the better coach for the majority of that series. We are in good shape going forward. Just gotta hope for good health.
pina is absolute trash. the ringer has elevated him i think because he's a laker hater, first and foremost. he made a ton of jokes and definitive statements about how bad the lakers were all season and ramped them up even as it was clear we weren't bad anymore. he also wrote more than one piece pumping up the clippers, including one AFTER they lost to the suns. we need to find out if he's actually lee jenkins, scooby doo style. btw, love that his twitter feed was super active during the kings/dubs game and then just goes dark. what a clown. you're either a journalist or a fan, imo. you can't actively be both and be good at your job.
Warriors would be good for the NBA, pne last playoff battle (maybe) for Lebron and the big 3. But give me the Kings, they don’t have anyone to stop AD while Draymond and Looney have given him fits before. Our guards and Vando are gonna have a tough time chasing around Fox and Monk though
Looking forward to the Denver-Phoenix tilt with Murray and Booker going at each other. Thibs-Butler isn't lacking for potential drama either. If Hart does a semi-decent job on the latter, I like New York's chances. The Garden has been electric so far.
The queens like to push the pace and the Lakers transitional defense is bad expecting some blow out losses in suckcramento, though AD can alter shots unlike the warriors
I heard someone bring this up in a podcast... In a best of 7 series, your best player will get you 2 wins, your second best player will get you 1 win, and some combination of your role players will get you 1 win. Game 1 - Rui and Reaves Game 3 - AD Game 4 - Lebron Game 6 - AD
