13 points isn't a safe lead in today's basketball. If you have 2 minutes to play and 13+.. then it's OK.

He needs to get 25-10-10 or something for the media narrative to be in his favor

Yeah I don't think he's gunning for it. I think he was being real about that not being jealous of each other comment. Plus, I think these two are close enough as players that the 85 Kareem style FMVP is always a possibility in future years.

Bron really thought Olynyk was gonna try to dunk on him? He's not jumping with you bro lmao

Kuzma is useless at times

Lebron is playing at 50% pace lol, hope he turns it up, games not done

Olynyk might lowkey be better than Bam for this matchup

Bam just has no chance imposing his interior or in between game with Las bigs

By the way - absolutely insane performance by the Heat tonight. I don't know how sustainable it would've been if they exerted more effort on defense, but they've made this a non-laugher without 2 of their 3 best players, despite AD channeling peak Kevin Durant jump shooting

Even if their D hasn't been great on a numbe ro fpossessions, being able to score nearly a 100 on a Lakers defense that has been really good overall is amazing.

AD getting destroyed defensively

Gunning takes energy

10 point game into the 4th... at least it can be competitive. Hope so, I want to see the Lakers playing difficult games in the finals.

kayess · Post #1770 » by **kayess** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 2:59 am

Also - AD is getting COOKED on the perimeter. It's close-ish so he has a chance to catch up in the 4th, especially since his defense has been slightly more impactful so far

Dupp · Post #1771 » by **Dupp** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 2:59 am

This game is so close it should be like 30 points. 10 point lead is embarrassing. Lakers d is awful

yoyoboy · Post #1772 » by **yoyoboy** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 3:00 am

LeBron is playing bad defense too. Neither he or AD are giving much effort.

Joao Saraiva · Post #1773 » by **Joao Saraiva** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 3:00 am

23 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 64.3 FG%, 0 TOs and a block after 3 quarters.

If somebody told me this was not the stat line ot the best player on the court I'd say that can't be true.

Also big bird and me owe ronda the biggest apology in history of mankind

Heej · Post #1775 » by **Heej** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 3:00 am

I feel like Game 3 LeBron has been more of a meme in the playoffs he's probably saving his best punches for last as is his wont

I do as well

But our hate was justified

He was AWFUL in the regular season, different guy on both ends

I still would like to add a consistent shooter though

MisterHibachi · Post #1777 » by **MisterHibachi** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 3:04 am

Kieff has been awful this game.

yoyoboy · Post #1778 » by **yoyoboy** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 3:05 am

What a disaster it would be is they lose this game considering how well LeBron and AD are playing and how shorthanded Miami is. You have to play some semblance of defense.

dcstanley · Post #1779 » by **dcstanley** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 3:06 am

Defense is terrible and Vogel isn't helping with these rotations.

thebigbird · Post #1780 » by **thebigbird** » Sat Oct 3, 2020 3:07 am

Why the hell is JR Smith playing? Vogel has some real dumb rotations sometimes.
