I’m sure they will alternate different looks.

Westbrook with LBJ/AD off ball
LBJ PnR with AD
Just better have two shooters at the 2 and 3 or else there will be no space for our trio to punish the paint packing

None of this works in the closing lineup if Lebron/AD don’t play 4/5

The free throw shooting is concerning between Bron and Russ.

9 assists is a below average outcome for the league’s leading assist man, who averaged 11.7 this past season. Best passer in the league. Ask KD.

I've read some writings on manifestation and visualizing .. I would love to hear how he trapped his mind and made it do what he wanted it to.. what he commanded it to.. NO DOUBTS or Blinks in focus the whole game.. The Grim Reaper would have gotten dunked on that game if he came for Giannis

Sort of makes me remember Adesanya vs Gastelum 4 rounds of beast mode from both of them.. Gastelum kept getting back up and doing some damage on Izzy.. start of the 5th Izzy said he was willing to die to win that round..

^^sry off topic .. just study of mindsets states of mind

LeBron James is still the best player in the NBA (Giannis a close 2nd) if everyone is healthy. At least for this year.

People forget how good he really is.

The play will be run through Lebron and he'll find the open man. Game on the line, I doubt anyone else really has a say.

Defense will be a huge problem especially in they playoff. I am hoping THT can take a leap in that end.
