They have a couple of seasoned vets in Crowder and Iggy. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold.

Not to mention we can go Morris, McGee, Kuzma on him also.
I agree, much like what happened to the Joker, we will be coming at him in waves.
Ya, putting Kuzma on Bam is a shortcut to disaster. I like Morris's physicality. But he's not equipped to deal with him either. Put Howard and AD on him.
McGee can defend him well enough. But rebounding would be a worry. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

I think in terms of power, Dwight is the only one that can match Bam. I'd like to see Kieff give it a go, but Kuzma would get eaten alive.
I'm not worried about AD and Howard not dominating the paint, I'm worried that they have a lot of perimeter guys to throw at LeBron. If it's close and AD is having a bad game, and LeBron has to go like he did in g5 WCF, they have at least 3 guys who can make him work for his shots, Iggy, Crowder, Butler. And unlike 2 superstars crosstown, Iggy and Butler will not choke in close games.
But at the end of the day, if AD does what's he's supposed to do, games should not be close and should not come down to 2 or 3 possessions at the end. _________________ “Properly read, the bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.”

KD/Kyrie will get sensitive to the adversity and I think it’s been well proven now that PG13 is simply not a guy you can count on in the playoffs.
How good is Paul George? Top 10? 11-20?
Top 20 in the regular season. Top 100 in postseason.
But being a 3rd option in Brooklyn might be a good thing for him. But he needs to be a clampdown defender like Ron Artest or Shane Battier type. Not sure if he wants to play that role though.

Why was he able to average 28.6 PPG in the playoffs for OKC?
Do you think we could have won a ring last year with him, LeBron, Ingram, and Ball? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
