Keep going back to JJJ: he really caused problems with his rim protection (Memphis has good defenders all over but he was special in terms of...
No more JJJ to protect the rim! Yeah he got schooled like when Hakeem did Robinson dirty by AD but this will be a big relief for the Lakers....
This is a tough matchup maybe more than any other series the Lakers may get. That being said this team is way better than the Kings and GS needed...
Suns offense is so bad. It's all a bunch of iso's to get Booker or Durant mid range shots. Paul seems kind of useless as an off ball guy TBH as well

That looked like a very well-coached team with players who are willing to do the dirty work on that possession. Schroeder was great navigating all...
Well he needs to and the Lakers also: James clearly doesn't have the same burst after the foot injury but if can play off the ball, he about as...
Nice thing about Rui is he can score and be a threat even if the 3 isn't falling. The pull up Ft line shot and spin move dunk makes the defense...
Memphis if they just shut their mouths would be a fun team to root for - Bane/Morant is one of hell of a young backcourt with JJJ as their big....
Very solid game: did what he was supposed to do. Play defense, rebound, and finish junk inside. If he can spell AD for 12 minutes a game: just a...
Was careless on some passes on the halfcourt and missed open looks but he's still awesome. Crazy how good he's become. He's like guys like...
AD was amazing tonight but I thought Lebron was better on defense tonight and he was really good on offense. The interesting thing is if DLo is...
When he's on the Lakers backcourt is basically unguardable: two 3 level scorers who can dribble and pass. Just so hard to defend.
Was this what it was like watching Bill Russell play? That was one of the greatest defensive games I've ever seen by an NBA player
Completely agree on game 5: you just knew it was going to happen - JJJ ready to go and AD goes off. Even if you don't want to play Gabriel just...
I think Ham has significantly improved as the season went on. Moving Reaves into the starting lineup Getting the most out of Rui and Schroeder The...
ham comes from the Bucks where they played a floor spacing 5 at C spot. Considering the Lakers past success with AD at the 4: it's odd that the...
I know it's not happening but I would have loved to see what AD could do back at the 4 with a Turner at 5. Having another rim protector who can...
The problem, if he ain't going to shoot it, is that he's not moving either Looney or Green in the post. So you're left with him as the screener...
