That would be Lebron James homie. Led them Lakers to a worse record this year than last and people still say he is the best player in the world

Gotta rewatch the game I guess but I thought DWhite was terrible, both offensively and defensively. Some really stupid fouls on Kyrie and he looked definitely a step slow on defense and rushing on offense....but Kyrie put up some pretty terrible numbers so maybe I'm wrong.

I really hope these idiots don't the bed against Charlotte.

timvp LJ, would you agree that Aldridge had a vintage Timmy Duncan game?

48/13 is baaaaaaaaaad man worthy.

Man, Boston sure is a show. No more chants of Brad Stevens best coach in the NBA anymore

DDR isn't exactly a problem player. Put him on a team where he is the decided number 2 and that has strong leadership and he will be a great player to have on the roster. The problem is he doesn't have it in him to shoulder the load if a team mentally and he isn't good enough to be the #1 on a contender. Put him on a team with strong leadership and he will look good, especially if he has a number 1 scorer for other teams to concentrate on say Kemba or Curry or Davis. Contracts are structured though to make it really hard to have an almost top level player.

he is the #2 option on the Spurs

Great grades...dead-on!

Man, I just remembered watching this game and remembering how underappreciated the little things Timmy did was...

In this game alone, the Spurs probably left about 6 points on the table on missed outlet passes. Timmy was probably one of the all-time greats in that regard...

Aldridge tried a two handed outlet pass that barely made it past half court

He should be, but to close out games it sure looks like hebis the prefered or go to option over LMA. It shouldn't be that way in my opinion, but then again in my opinion LMA shouldn't look for a 12' stepback jumper from the elbow as his prefered shot. It seems like in the final 3 minutes of close games this year the dominant offensive plan has been give DDR the ball and let him make something happen. I don't know what to call that if not number 1 option.

your big man will never by your go to option in crunch time, cause it's to easy to double him in the post. It will always be the perimeter player cause he can create his shot 1-on-1. Shaq was clearly the #1 option on the Lakers but Kobe was the closer. Same thing. Your big man won't take the last shot, unless it's Tim Duncan cause he's one of the 5 best players to ever play the game of basketball.
