I see the Lebron-AD dynamic the same way I do Curry-Durant.. you have to let the big guy beat you with post-up 2's. Don't let the ballhandler beat you with PNR.

AD does play with rondo a whole lot and kuzma when Lebron ends the 1st so that doesnt help this stat but AD needs to be much better honestly.
Scariest part for the Lakers is that, with Morris, the Clippers have the personnel to beat them with small ball just like Houston just did - and we can still put Zubac in whenever we need rim protection.
Ain’t denying that. Them clips gunna be a en problem .
Why tf is Kyle Lowry on the all star team. He’s so bad compared to the snubbed guys like Booker, Beal and even DeMar
Problem is playing with LeBron doesn’t make others better. They become dependent on his bull passes and stand around the rest of the time at the 3 point line. LeBron on your team means the whole offense has to go through him every time and not flow like a normal good team
We all know Houston is gonna choke when it matters so tonight's result only hammers down the fact the Lakers will be reamed by the Clippers come playoff time. Rest of the West is mostly irrelevant.
Lakers are just a horribly built team.
Why do they have Davis, Howard AND McGee? 3 Cs?
Why do they have 3 3&D guys who all essentially play the same style in Danny, Bradley and KCP? Why is their only playmaking guard the corpse of Rondo?
You accepted kawhis gonna win another chip? He'll likely win more championships than the spurs
Lakers better pray we get decent players in the buyout market as sad as it sounds if
not we’re ed
He'll prolly get one or two more but that'll be it. I don't think his body is gonna hold up and the Dubs will be back with a vengeance starting next year. Milwaukee also looms this year in the Finals.
Shouts to the POS pundits who called AD the best teammate Lebron ever had lol.
Also glad to see the true alpha of the Rockets take over.

Beverley
George
Leonard
Morris
Zubac
Williams, Harrell, Shamet off the bench
Early lines for tonight, i like Memphis covering 6 against Philly who is struggling. Miami i feel like should win by 8-10 against Sactown and they are only favored by 1.5, tbh...
2nd round exit
Better chance of winning the West than the Lakers, though.
after one game ? Didn’t we beat them in Houston without AD ? I guess lakers standards different huh
How you figure? What has a Dantoni team done in the playoffs led you to this conclusion?
Lakers may not ring, but they won't get knocked out the playoffs by the Rockets.
That's his Purple and Gold hate
Rockets getting their asses handed to them by the Suns.
Lakers are just not bringing the same defensive intensity they had in the first few months of the season. They just seem content with trading buckets nowadays.
This team is gonna look different when they bring back that elite defense and the refs stop calling every ticky tack bull come playoff time.
I love how Houston has been load-managing Westbrook all season and Media says nothing about it, just because they're all huge Morey fanboys who think the Rockets can do no wrong.
plus lebron is so obviously coasting after getting the team off to a good start, now just trying to create opportunities for his teammates to score and boost their confidence (and get kuzma to find some way to actually be worth a crap)
when the game slows down in the playoffs as it always does, thats going to make AD's post game so much more useful
and when lebron turns into playoff lebron, its gonna be pretty much impossible to stop the LBJ/AD pick and roll. you can see in the few minutes here and there that lebron actually tries to be a scoring threat, that their PnR is the most unstoppable play in the NBA
