Bron will fight to the bitter end.
Imagine being the leader of a team coming back 0-3
5 ring would be huge.
Lebron has been good to very good this series, need him to be great |

DLO buries them when you see him shooting before and after games but for some reason that muscle memory doesn't consistently carry over to the games for him.
The 0 for streak won't last forever. Eventually a team will win a series after going down 0-3. |

Imagine being the guy who led two different history making teams where one team came back from 1-3 and the other came back from 0-3.

We’re a -40 when Lebron is on the bench this series. Brutal. Lebron has played better this round than the previous 2 |

Standing in one spot and shooting doesn’t replicate game situations at all. It reminds me of Dwight claiming he made his free throws in practice. Shooting 20 in a row is way different than shooting 2, running up and down the court 10 times, then shooting 2 more. |

Lakers down 0 - 3
Celtics down 0 - 3
Two epic comebacks leading to the fight for #18.
A better script could not be written. |

Ham needs to play Bamba in this game if he's available. What do you have to lose? Try him out at the 5 with and without AD and just see what happens in preparation for next season.

I want to see a starting lineup tomorrow of:
PG - Reaves
SG - Walker
SF - LeBron
PF - AD
C - Bamba
Whomever Murray is guarding, post him up and punish his ***, and do it repeatedly. Make him work on the defensive end so he's not as explosive offensively.
It will wear on him later in the game so he's not as effective, just like you've seen with Jokic in the 4th quarters of this series. |

Sounds good |
Mods can we do this? Not sure of the procedures and standards but I’d love to honor my word.

You make a good point but I think it's more than that with DLO. He misses them early in games when he's not winded and other guys make them in the same situations. Why are the other guys making them? Are they running up and down the court and shooting a couple when they practice? Seems like a confidence thing. |

| One game at a time. Looking bleak but I think the Lakers win somehow and stave off elimination. |

That’s mine too, Dennis is small but he’s such a pest and high energy on defense.
I’d be happy with Lonnie starting too but the other 4 are a must.
Lonnie and DLO can add to the bench points if they get hot.
I was thinking today if KCP traded with DLO lakers are 3-0 and it ain’t that close. Pity DLO has been so trash.
I was also thinking Lebron and AD have taken too much heat.
I’d definitely give them both pass marks, ADs D has been terrific apart from 1st half of game 1. He also has scored nearly 30 a game.
I actually think he had a better game than Joker overall in the 3rd.
Joker just had a great 4th quarter.
Lebron has been pretty damn good apart from 3 pt shooting and a few untimely errors.
Rui + Reaves should get A+ grades they have been terrific.
Lakers have been pretty much a four man team vs 5.5 Nuggets
.5 because I actually think Gordon has been played out of this series a bit by the lakers. He was much better against the Suns and TWolves. Lakers bigs have made him look pretty average tbh.
I said before this series that KCP was better than Reaves but have been proved wrong.
KCP has done his job great but Reaves has been that much better. |
