I think we gotta stop and give Murray his flowers
The man is a legitimate star and has a tremendous bag on the offensive end
He's just overshadowed playing with an future hall of fame like Jokic
He can score, but he would be in the lottery without Joker.

AD probably does…..I promise bron doesn’t :francis:

AR only 33 minutes (+13)….walker only 13 minutes. There’a at least 3-4 minutes there

This is not the 2018 Rodney Hood and Jeff geeen cavs. Unfortunately, I don’t think Bron (or Ham) realize this.

If you ever wanna know how much fukkery Bron is on watch how often he takes thr ball up court. At age 38 with Dennis and d lo and reaves there is NO REASON for him to exert energy bringing the ball up….but when he on that shyt he cuttin in front of nggas and overriding PG duties :snoop:
I mean Bron needs to be on the floor for his rebounding and additional rim protection. We have AD then Bron, and that's it. Bron is BY FAR our 2nd best defensive player and it's not close

The reason we are the defensive team that we are, is because AD and Bron are playing elite ball on that end. Dennis and Reaves aren't playmakers, and DLO has just not proven himself to be good enough on that end either. Reaves is good at finding lanes then getting his own shot, same with DS, and DLO is just.... honestly I'm not sure what DLO does well on a consistent basis

After some thought even with AD and Lebron playing bad, Lakers still had a chance to win this game if D'lo was not so bad. Dude got cooked on defense and was non-existent on offense. Nuggets literally are given free points with D'lo on the court.

Claiming that Bron right now is 2015 Kobe status is the sort of wild dumb take you're famous for. You can't even fake objectivity. :russ:
Well according to the EPM and DRG, he’s actually right there with Jimmy Butler. :deadrose:

Watch the Heat games and tell me again how Bron would lead them like Jimmy is doing

But that requires watching games without a TI-84 calculator.

Actually do me a favor and post those charts of the conference finals. I’m tryna see something

Reppin
the ether
AD 41 minutes -10
LeBron 40 minutes +4

That's kind of crazy considering how bad LeBron was. 3 smoked layups/dunks and 4 horrible 3pt shots.

Reaves was a game high +13 and played 3 more minutes than D'Angelo -16 (team worst). :scust: Ham is going to have to bench him going forward.
This is an exageration. Only 3 Lakers had a positive +/- tonight and LeBron was one of them. Through everything the Lakers were better with him on the floor tonight. Which as much of an indictment of AD as anything else because I think LeBron presses when he sees AD doesn't have it.


Nah breh. Clearly Bron is washed and is contributing nothing. The fact that they were winning in the 40 minutes Bron was on the floor but were a -9 in just 8 minutes with him on the bench means nothing.

Through 2 games:

Russell: -41
AD: -18
Bron: -2


Bron has not played "perfectly". He's not hitting his threes, and at 38yo it's literally impossible for him to play 40 minutes leading the offense while playing stellar defense AND magically being able to slash on every play just because fans want him to. He's launching shots instead of driving because he's wiped. He should stop shooting those....but then go through AD instead? Y'all saw how that work.

If Ham had just benched D-Lo like I said before Game 1 AND before Game 2, Lakers would be 2-0 right now.

Him being on the floor is not the same as him being on the floor and jackin for beats

So his +/- is misleading. If Bron is on court and staying off ball and cutting and scoring in transition and posting when Murray is on him, and letting them young bulls go….LA is elite. They got two 10 point leads like this

But when Bron plays bronball it’s a disaster

LA has now played 14 playoff games: AR has 5 20 point games. Rui has 4 wtf games . D Lo has a 30 ball and 3,4 19/20 games….the walker game….that’s damn near every game bruh. It’s not a fluke this supporting cast is really good. AD’s inconsistency and when Bron plays ego ball has held them back

Tough to win with Jamal Murray being the 2nd or 3rd best player this series. Gotta change that shyt at home.

Although this is giving Devin Booker not to be denied vibes.

Just take care of business at home and get it back to Denver 2-2.

The narrative for a large part of this playoff run is that Bron only has had ONE 30 point game?... People were making comments that Bron wasn't being aggressive enough for the past 2 series. Even in Game 1 they were questioning why he wasn't playing more aggressive looking to score.
