Miami is only 3 hours away... LeBron knew what he had to do 8-)

Rondo probably muled in the super soldier serum.

Oh I know, just having some fun after how bad he looked until the last game and a half.


I think everyone is excited to see him play like Lebron again.

Just making sure to point out that 2018 Lebron playoff run (up till where he messed up his hand) was absolutely **** ridiculous. The NBA actually played defense back then lol.

Why is Dion not playing over JR?

Do we want the ball to be more in Caruso, Kuzma, and AD's hands instead? He do something bad?

If JR is gona be out there chucking, why not just have Cook

He doesn't defend.

Lakers are winning this by being air tight on Dame and CJ.

JR while he looks pretty **** has always been really good at chasing over screens. Look at Klay and Kyle Korver numbers vs. Cavs in the playoffs every time they've played. His weakness is his size one on one, he got bodied by Derozan a lot.

Don’t get your hopes up too much guys. 2018 brim looked like this nightly in the playoffs.


But something remotely close will be enough.

I belly flopped on Portland’s competitiveness potential. I was that guy.

It’s not over yet, but they look pretty dead. It sucks to be wrong, but I feel good about this one.

I mean in the 5 out lineups with ADs he's been ballin lol. Feel like with more shooting he'd be looking like a better passing worse scoring version
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

That was worse because they were the number 1 seed. And they got butchered.
