Can you imagine if Durant didn't start joining super teams? How would he still be viewed if he remained in OKC with Westbrook?

I respect Giannis more than probably any player in the NBA. He doesn't believe in playing Madden on the easiest difficulty level, even if it means he doesn't win four or five titles.

He's probably playing hurt on that foot but he's legitimately fatigued playing in this series in a way he's really never been before.

Maybe I am wrong but I would think posting up would take far less energy than running around on the perimeter. If he is struggling with fatigue now it isn't going to get any better if he has to chase GS\Kings around the court.

To me he should be doing that more rather than chucking 3's.

I’ve always said if Brooks could just look in mirror and realize what he actually is this team will finally reach its full capabilities. He’s a defender. That’s it. Not the best, but still valuable. We just need him to have a huge gut check moment on Friday and facilitate more without shooting and we can easily get a win in LA. It’s easier said than done though. Brooks will be Brooks and Jenkins obviously doesn’t care to shut it down.

agreed. He has Westbrook syndrome and if Kennard isn't hurt I bet he takes his place in the next game. They need his spacing in the worst way and I didn't understand their rotations at the end of game 4 with 4 non shooters on the court.

Did you watch yesterday's game? LeBron isn't running around on the perimeter, he's standing around on the perimeter and letting Austin Reaves and others handle the ball (which he did for large portions of game 4 as well). This is unlike anything we've ever seen from him in the NBA, which suggests it's an extreme level of fatigue he's dealing with. He's not going to be able to physically battle somebody in the post in his current state.

And yes, there's very little chance the Lakers are going to beat the Warriors even if they advance this series and a lot of that is because of how just tired and limited LeBron appears. The guy is almost 40 and playing on a bad foot. It's catching up to him.

That's hard to believe considering Jayson Tatum is playing in these playoff also. The king of the mindless step back three.

Fair enough and that is true. I just think it would be wise for him to post up more than chuck 3's. He has never been that great of jump shooter.

According to the Basketball Reference Shot Finder (“Shot Finder”), Lebron is a career 37% shooter on jump shots between 15-20 feet.

No excuses. There is nothing wring with his foot andi don't want to hear any age excuses. Retire then if you are too old. Mofos act like he is limping around like Mahomes.

Two doctors told him to have surgery on his foot and to shut his season down. Other than that, sure, he’s OK.

Do you ever stop licking his nuts though. Good ****ing lord. Not a single poster on this board does to Patrick compared to what goes on in this thread....wow

I call bullshit on that, just like when he tried to fake a broken hand after getting swept in the finals. Unless, the PED rumors are true....lol

I am tired of having this GOAT shit forced down my throat. He never has been, isn't and never will be the GOAT.

We need them around for to beat the Warriors in the Finals at this point. Not that they can be trusted in that regard after last year.
