If that was LeBron it would've been an offensive foul

The defense without Russ and Bron out there is miles better.

No chance with Embiid and Giannis getting 10-15 free throws per game.

Davis and LeBron just never seem to have any interest at all in getting back on defense in transition. Not a good strategy against a team with Giannis.

Nunn, Monk, THT, LeBron, Davis would be an ok starting 5..

I think Westbrook needs to become a 6th man energy guy. He's pretty much built for that type of role. Come in, energize the team and lead the bench unit.

Bradley, Westbrook, Reaves, Melo, Howard

Is he “so much better” than LeBron or is he just playing 5 out at all times with a bunch of smart defenders and passers while the other guy is playing out of position in 28th percentile spacing with 2-3 lineup anchors at a time all game?

I don't think he is so much better tbh, if he is even better

Much much better team

The rosters aren't even on the same planet

The Bucks struggled vs the Nets but injuries bailed them out

Russ, on this moment:

I told them I wished I could help them. But I wasn't in the game to help them out... But that's not my call.

Read on Twitter
?s=21

When asked if he knows the benchmarks he has to hit to make the Lakers’ closing lineup, Russell Westbrook said:

“I shouldn’t have to hit any benchmarks, to be honest. I put a lot of work in. I got a lot of respect in this game. … I earned the right to be in closing lineups.”

Offensively maybe, defensively Giannis on a different planet

Nah I don't see it. Replace Giannis with Bron on that team and they are favourites.

Disagree. Their rim protection, transition D and rebounding would be way worse

Would be a disgustingly bad team with Lebron and Portis as the only bigs.

You think a Portis/Lebron/Connaughton big man rotation could be better than laughably bad on D in 2022? I know this is the weird Lebron fans enclave somehow squatting on the PC board but be a bit realistic.

You said the Bucks would be a disgustingly bad team with LeBron.. That would get you an eye roll anywhere on this site.

I think you realise it was indefensible as you then made it seem like I was questioning some different proposition.
