The Lebron '20 Thread (Pt. 6)

[Dupp]

Am I one of the only ones who don't care if Davis wins the FMVP if the lakers win the title?

LeBron already has 3 FMVP which is tied for second place, so if the lakers win the title and LeBron is playing great, it's going to be huge for him to win the title with the lakers even if he doesn't win the FMVP.

There's always gonna be haters no matter what.

Couldn’t care less who wins finals mvp as long as they win a title.

For LeBron's legacy it is important for him to win. An extra MVP, all the finals MVPs he can.

However, if he wins and doesn't get the FMVP it's OK too. He's still a major contributor and the engine of the team. Magic didn't win all the FMVPs when his team won, or Bird, or Duncan.

Of course with LBJ's magnitude that is gonna be a "problem" for the casual fans. But that's just them.

It actually won't be a problem at all for casuals

Casuals have Kobe in their top 5 or even top 2-3 and he has 2 fmvps and 1 mvp

A 4th fmvp would make him the solid #2 of all time at WORST for me and many others

Nobody else will have more besides MJ

I would love for Lebron to win it, but at this point, I just want them to win it all.

A ring this year is huge, especially for Kobe. That narrative will be very big and he will gain a lot of respect and love from LAL fans

LAC +325 to win it all right now. I am taking that bet. At least if I have to watch them win it all, I want to be compensated.

I think its a toss up next round though....if they make it

Actually I think that Davis is gonna go bananas vs the Clippers. I don't see their bigs stopping him.

I think LBJ will have a lot more difficulty with PG and Kawih on him. But it's playoff LeBron... dude has been beasting. Let's see how well he can perform.

I really don’t see how the Clippers beat this team to be honest. I think LeBron is going to defend Kawhi much better than he’s been guarded throughout these playoffs, and they’re just not going to be able to stop Davis at all. The Lakers should have beaten them three straight times now, but took their foot off the gas on Christmas.

Boston is going to be a tougher challenge imo.

This isnt a roast or a callout because i kinda thouht the rockets would win too aft game 1

But its kinda funny that we all went "rip season" and then the lakers smacked them up 4 games in a row

Im a bit worried about zubac to be honest, but i think we might be able to play him off the floor.

If we had a quick or crafty scoring guard who could create off the dribble, he would be in trouble

Hopefully something we fix this summer

That's who AD thinks he is. And the good news is at 6'11 he's probably gonna be good enough at it to play Zubac off the floor. Especially considering the hard on Doc has for Harrell

Hasnt zubac played more than harrel these playoffs tho?

I’m definitely starting to get more worried about Boston and Miami than the clippers. Dunno it that is smart but it’s how I feel.

With miami and boston its just theyre both good coaching staffs with tools

Boston id assume they dont have the guys to guard ad and bron, but stevens is stevens and i just assumed rheis is a meh man defender when it seems hes pretty good

With miami bam is a great defender, and butler is probably one of the best guys at guarding bron in the league

Yeah against LeBron elite coaching with strong versatile defenders at almost every position is what worries me. Boston absolutely has that. The Clippers can be mismatch hunted to a much greater degree, and I think Vogel will easily out coach Doc.

[Heej]

I personally care about fmvp because 3 FMVPs in 3 different cities is gonna be the cornerstone of his GOAT argument

Kemba being hunted is one of the main reasons the Raptors series went 7 and Lebron has as much experience hunting small guards (including Kemba) as anyone

Celtics arent even getting past the Heat anyways. Miami is a much tougher matchup with Bam, their 3pt shooting and foul drawing. Dragic/Jimmy will be a handful too but Lakers should get it done in 6

Don't get fooled by LAC playing down to their competition

They are still the scariest opponent left that we may have to play

Lebron and AD are the 2 best guys in a Miami series for sure and probably even in a Boston series.

Tatum can have more impact on offense than AD, but he is less consistent

I think we would take Denver in 6 max. We have the guys to throw at Jokic. Combo of AC/KCP/Rondo (if he keeps playing with intensity, not bad) vs Jamal I guess. Would have been nice to have Avery here

[RCM88x]

Shooting 81.5% at the rim so far in these playoffs, career high.

Davis at 83.3% too, that is insane.

As long as the Lakers win the championship and LeBron plays well, win or lose the Finals MVP, LeBron will benefit.

If he wins, it will be his 4th and third with three different franchises. If Davis wins, it will prove that LeBron can play well while not limiting his star big man.

That long held narrative will have to be cremated.

The only bad look will be if LeBron plays poorly and the Lakers win anyway. Ground zero would be an outcome like Kyle Kuzma winning Finals MVP (in said scenario).

U guys got Miami or Boston winning this round and why?

My original bracket had Boston over the Bucks in 7.

Heat have more depth but Boston has Tatum, who should be the best guy this series.

Also may depend if Hayward comes back and if he’s useful

Haha honestly man same reasoning here and also because my heart wants a Lakers-Celtics finals. I also feel like the Celtics played the better team overall because Bud refuses to make adjustments from his core philosophies.
