It's so annoying, particularly since the price is just too high for a tool that you might use once or twice a month for 10-minutes.

I remember when LeBron only went to LA to make movies.

I have to admit though, I was pretty worried last May that we wouldn’t get to see LeBron dominating like this in the playoffs again. So glad they were able to ship out the kids for AD.

Your better then this.


You kept going on about how you were going to laugh at everyone when the Blazers won the series or made it tough. You flexed very hard pre-series, so now you're the one being laughed. Just take in on the chin and try to be less confrontational next time maybe... we all get it wrong some (many!) times but most of us don't publicize how much we're going to laugh at others potentially being wrong...

I only said that because you were laughing at what I said. Turns out for good reason.

You got this one.

In terms of being less confrontational...
That will never happen. I will be respectful but conflict is what I do.


Yeah thats what I do fam

Can we maybe take a step back on comparing Dame to Steph or Nash for a bit?


Tbf when i was comparing them I was saying offense only

I think that one of the big things is lillard really cant hand hard hedges. Although a big issue here is nurkic and whiteside arent really reliable off the pick and roll in the way youd want against that, if he had a draymond like option to give it too off the short roll that can playmake in those 4v3 situations itd change things. I def think curry is better overall though, on ball I think lillard a better scorer personally, I think hes better driving in and driving in off of screens or going downhill, or when the defender doesnt hedge correctly and makes tougher finishes with his athleticism although curry makes smarter ones. Curry prolly better at breaking someone down despite the athleticism gap, and id say currys a better passer though, and doesnt make bad decisions lillard sometimes does when he tries to force things when he cant get a rhythm

The rockets or okc series will be interesting, although obv the rockets require us to play in a different way, although I think if we pull it off wed have a pretty easy time with them

97 TS% for the game, which might be the best true shooting game of his entire career. Too bad bkref put the search tools behind a paywall.

25.2 ppg, 10 boards, 10.3 assists on 66.5 TS% in just 32.5 minutes per game (and 5 TOs) for the playoffs. I'm wondering if he can average a triple double for the entire playoff run, it's not outside the realm of possibility considering he's going to be playing a lot more minutes in later rounds. Doing that in a championship run would be some legendary ****.

That 10 point game is gonna haunt his averages this year lol. Just like that one rigged game back in 2014
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

First round averages don't matter anyway. Tonight looked like he was back in the East playing some scrub team in round 1.

"Conflict is what I do", are you some edgy teen/pre-teen trying to stir **** up? Would explain why you can't understand why you are getting dunked on the way you are after you flexed on everyone the way you did. Just straight up complete lack of self-awareness from this clown

Also: drza really said, based on differential with Nurkic in vs the Lakers' overall differential, that this would be close. LMAOOO

Lakers with AD last three games:

ORtg, 131.7
DRtg, 86.6
+45.2

With AD off court: -29.6

ON-OFF: +74.8

Weird hiccup like that game against Boston in 2017 where he was supposedly sick.

Remember how much crap lebron got at last years trade deadline for trying to trade everyone for AD? One of the most absurd things ever. Why wouldn’t you try and make that trade?

Really wish they kept Hart though. Can you imagine another rotation-level 3&D guy on this team (I guess Bradley was it but... yeah)

If LeBron is feeling himself enough to pull up from the logo, its time for Gary Trent time to go home and cry into a soft pillow.

He has one game like that in almost every playoffs run(also game 1 in Boston in 2018),but at least this is never at the worst possible time!
