Lakers are looking closer and closer to March version with each game. So encouraging.

Low key always has been. As far as the third cog goes. He's the only 2 way guy that can attack a closeout and finish at the cup. AC kinda can but he's never in closeout situations cuz he's a Freemason. KCP can shoot and when he gets run off the line he's one of the most athletic 2s in the league and he'll get to the rim or make a play. That kind of role player that can reliably keep churning the defense is one of the most valuable archetypes in the league.

If kcp played defense like in those piston days itd be great

AD lowkey activated playoff mode on defense and its amazing lol. Brons d has been wild too. This is a very good portland team on offense too and half their points are off of putbacks (off of ad contests lmao)

Incredible post split read by LeBron there. He had Melo top locked on the backscreen for Kuzma so the secondary cut was open. That happens a lot where the first cut clears the helper and the second cut can come running in. That kind of route concept happens a lot in football too

MisterHibachi · Post #1586 » by **MisterHibachi** » Tue Aug 25, 2020 1:52 am

They don't run that play often. Post up AD, LeBron sets a screen for Kuz then cuts to the basket. A pet play for the Warriors, and always used to work so well for them.

I’ll never get tired of LeBron’s chasedowns

Luka doesn't have the corner lasers that Lebron does. He's got like arrows lol LeBron throws ****ing heat cross court. Kinda annoying when people act like Lukas completely surpassed LeBron passing.

Did Trent not just handcheck LeBron all the way on that drive?

He's moving so much better these last 2 games than the rest of the games in the bubble. Don't know where it came from.

The High Cyde · Post #1592 » by **The High Cyde** » Tue Aug 25, 2020 2:07 am

Yeah he’s back boys

When the lakers hit the 3 points at a good rate,they are almost impossible too beat!

That was a nice finish.

MisterHibachi · Post #1595 » by **MisterHibachi** » Tue Aug 25, 2020 2:07 am

Bron looks GOOD

He's got his conditioning back. And y'all said he was out of his prime :roll:

Dare I say Pelinka airlifted in some of that vibranium! I kid, I kid.

This might be a contender for best half of the season. Team firing on all cylinders.

AC continuing to never hit a 3 lmao

Been about a month since the first scrimmages, he was going to get back into shape eventually - I expect he'll look better round-by-round, with the occasional night where he looks 85.
