He was healthier, younger, didn't have consume his energy. He got swept by Golden State because he had who on his team? Jr smith?
Five years ago, Steph, Klay and Dray were healthier and younger too. Or are we just going back in time for Bron and GS have to stay exactly as they are?

Bron isn't doing any sweeping of any kind vs. GS. Not now, not back then, not ever.

If Lebron was 5 years younger, this would be a sweep. But with that injured foot we will see.
Which is why this needs to be an AD series.

Bron has been great as another interior defender, shot creator, rebounder, and been semi decent playing off ball (he's been atrocious from 3 and that will need to change) cause of his limited movement in drives.

I want them to post him up more this series. And I'm not sure why they didn't do that vs Memphis.

You want AD posting up against the best post-defensive team in the playoffs?

It's time for AD to become the lead dog on the team, LeBron's getting old and I don't think he can hold up much longer.

Warriors in 6...

Kerr>>>Ham
Warriors are a better 3pt shooting team unlike Grizzlies.
Warriors have the better the bench and 2nd unit.
Experience and veterans in close game situations favors Warriors.
AD is a mentally weak player and if you get him into foul trouble you change the pace and flow of the game.
Curry cooks Russell and any guard they put on him.

My point is Lebron is an older player and injured. If he was younger and healthy, had a supporting role players and AD, they would win easily. But he aint. He can't carry a team in a consistent basis.

And my point is, Bron ain't winning shyt "easily" against GS. Not now, and not back whenever it is you think he would.

This isn't some deer-in-the-headlights ass squad that he ran through many a time in the Eastern conference. GS has been the thorn in his side for the better part of the last decade, beating him 3 out of 4 times in the playoffs (his only series win coming on essentially the last shot of a Game 7). I don't know what would possess you to make a dumbass statement like that in the first place.

Turning AD into a jumpshooter > giving him rim runs.

That's how they played Sabonis and it worked.

Dray is one of the best defenders on AD and he knows how to play him better than anyone. GS simply can't allow the Lakers to play downhill in the halfcourt; steering LA away from the rim is the best chance they have at controlling this series.
If rui, reeves, and dlo can hit 3s at a decent rate. This will be a series. If not warriors in 5.
