Mobley is already a better defender than Ad. He might be a top 5 defender in the league

Reaves needs to start over DJ

Game goes into the toilet whenever LeBron/WB are sharing court.

LeBron forcing jumpers this entire 2nd half. I think a lot of it has to do with his lack of faith in refs blowing the whistle.

Very cool that the refs haven't called LeBron blatantly getting hacked at the rim once this year. Why do I still watch this league

Well LeBron has destroyed his 3pt% in this one

Lebron on the night; horrible shooting, good game management.

AD has no sense of occasion or history. Playing his first game against the modern day Kevin Garnett and he floats for half the game. Bron doesn't do this **** against Zion or Luka.

Predictably, team goes on a run after WB sits. Just like it went on a run when LeBron sat at the end of 3rd while WB stayed in.

lol it was never remotely sustainable. A shooter he's not.

I never understood why people wanted Bradley to be washed so bad. You know what the role in roleplayer means. Even with compromised defense any team with a role that spares him having to pass, handle or make decisions will have him looking serviceable.

Russ being benched in crunch time? Tell me more...

Never mind, he's back. :lol:

Alright, Bron turned on maestro mode in this fourth and got good shots every time down. Good process, team can still do it in crunch time

Yeah I know, just unfortunate to undo the hot start in one night

Carmelo is on HOF mode at Staples this year, and Rockets Melo mode on the road.

Post #417 » by **Fadeaway_J** » Sat Oct 30, 2021 4:48 am

Melo is such a lethal spot-up shooter.

LeBron looked explosive when guarded by Jarret Allen. These things are relative.

Lebron went 9-12 within the arc and I don't remember him shooting any fades or midrangers. He was getting to the paint in the half-court pretty easily in the fourth quarter.

MisterHibachi · Post #420 » by **MisterHibachi** » Sat Oct 30, 2021 5:00 am

Non-LeBron Lakers shot 11-17 from 3 tonight. Even counting LeBron, Lakers shot 44% from 3.

Past two years Lakers shooting that well from 3 basically meant an automatic win. Don't feel as confident in that now, but feels really good to see the Lakers being able to make 3s like a modern NBA team.

The fourth quarter was pretty good defensively, held the Cavs to 16 points overall and 10 points before the Cavs threw in the towel. Also the first game of the season where they gave up less than 115 points lol. Definitely something to build on.
