Jimmy is personalizing this at this point on both ends of the court!

Shout out to Crowder for an impressive 1st half.

Didn't want this to be the case but it seems this whole FMVP thing is causing dissent between Bron and AD. It's going to be awkward on that podium when the winner is announced.
Just saw that incident from game 2 again, definitely blew the whole thing out of proportion.

WeissVonner:


Doing a great job of pestering the ball handler and denying the entry pass. When the pass does go in, they get very physical and when theres dribble penetration they collapse. They've been very solid defensively. If they had shown this intensity in the first two games, maybe we'd be telling a different story now.

On the contrary, I think the Lakers have had an easy run from the top as evidenced by Rondo's display throughout this series. Infact, the only reprieve that has sort of put a stop to it is Butler moving to the top to guard the ball handler bringing the ball up which has forced some turnovers.

Which they haven't done much of until this game. And its not just Butler its whoever gets switched on to the ball handler in most cases.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:13am On Oct 05, 2020
The Lakers defense has been lackluster and the offense is just putrid! They look like old men playing a pick up game.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:20am On Oct 05, 2020
I need Bron on Butler in the fourth. He's just having his way whenever he has someone not named LeBron or AD on him.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:23am On Oct 05, 2020
The Lakers have no answer for Butler. He has been ultra aggressive, demanding the ball and controlling the pace of this game!

Do you see what I mean with Butler defending the point? He picked up Rondo there and when it was switched, Iggy was waiting for him.

AD my goodness!!!

A fade away, steal and a follow up dunk in one sequence!!!!

Completely agree!!!
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:38am On Oct 05, 2020
AD finally coming to life, the Lakers need him and Bron to put this thing to bed in the fourth.

One word: J. Butler..
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:02am On Oct 05, 2020
My respect levels for Jimmy Butler just went through the roof. Too much liver! Just willing his team to that W. Not an A-level talent but A-level heart
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:03am On Oct 05, 2020
Bron has been awful in the fourth, AD has not even showed up. These refs giving Butler James harden type calls. Credit to him, he's put his team on his back.

Agreed.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:04am On Oct 05, 2020
Now they get Bam and maybe Dragic back for game 4 and if the Lakers look as awful as they do today, we have ourselves a series.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:05am On Oct 05, 2020
Rondo trying to cheat there instead of moving his feet
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:06am On Oct 05, 2020
Lol

It was Lillard, Westbrook, Murray and now Herro. They never learn.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:07am On Oct 05, 2020
You wanna talk about reeling your team? Well..Butler says hello!!!!
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:08am On Oct 05, 2020

How is Butler still standing? This man is a hardworker!!
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:10am On Oct 05, 2020
If you know, you know cheesy

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:10am On Oct 05, 2020
When I questioned AD's heart it wasn't out of beef. E get why

I can't believe in a game like this AD didn't show up for the ball. No plays were run for him in the last 8 mins. Unbelievable

At this stage you have to want it especially if the other guy is giving you the business on the other end
Re: The NBA Begins by WolvyX5: 3:11am On Oct 05, 2020
I really hate Lakers rotation in this game. Play full strength and put dis fucking series to rest abeg. So annoying. Wats wiv d stupid experiment

I hope you will stay to watch him lift the trophy after game 5?
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:14am On Oct 05, 2020
The Lakers like to give teams hope. I'm taking this game in isolation.

Lakers in 5
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:15am On Oct 05, 2020
I'm pretty sure Olynyk will not get 17 quality points like this but if they do then we will have problems.

The Lakers should still win but if you're the Heat you just go there and ball with no pressure. All the pressure is now on the Lakers
