Dwight has been really impressive in this quarter. His activity on the offensive glass keeping these possessions alive has been awesome.

Re: The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 5)
Is AD even trying. Dude legit plays like a 6' SG sometimes it drives me nuts.

Re: The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 5)
Davis has been tragic in this game and Vogel needs to do away with these mid 4th quarter LeBron rests. Sit him the first two minutes of the 4th (taking advantage of the end of quarter break) then have him close the game.
These breaks will cost the Lakers (at some point) in the post season.

AD has been Awful all year long when Lebron has sat
I would try Dion with AD
Mcgee needs to lose most of his minutes. Start the game for like 4-5 min and a few min in 2nd half, thats it

I did not want to address it, but he looks like he is dogging it (to me).
I don’t know what is going on there.

Haven't been able to watch til now but AD's numbers are rather pedestrian. I hope he just isn't exerting too much energy tonight.

Well at least he leads the game in stumbles and fall downs. He has to be in double digits for this game. It’s the only thing he has been good at.
He even threw in a game losing, late game, late close out (for good measure).

TJ warren is that mythical practice superstar that some of us talked about. He is playing over his head in this bubble, but I doubt this holds up once the lights get bright again and fans are back in the stands.
Good for him, none the less.

Re: The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 5)
Can't do much when the best closer in the history of the game is on the other team.
Dwight looked good though, and LeBron looked the best he has so far. Vogel needs to figure out these AD doubles though, he's usually making the right reads, but they're not good reads because the rest of the team isn't moving during those post ups. But ultimately AD is a scorer, he's not going to make the right read every time and then he presses when he does see daylight. Maybe just have him run pick and rolls, inverted or regular, instead of iso post ups. He's great when he's on the move.

Hes been seeing alot more traps/doubles with the Raptors game. I think Utah is the only game since where he didnt face as much and he went off and destroyed Gobert

LeBron: +13 on, -18 off, +31 net
Davis: -20 on, +15 off, -35 net
Not often you see two starters with such a large difference in a lineup stat where they are sharing minutes together.

It might be time to switch Davis to center and have him isolate on centers up top. The time has come to remove McGee from the lineup:
Caruso/ Cook
KCP/ Waiters
James/ Green
Kuzma/ Morris
Davis/ Howard

Re: The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 5)
AD is obviously more suited to centre so they better run that in the playoffs.
Also what’s the deal with Morris?

Re: The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 5)
Only two games left? ADs probably just trying not to get injured
