Fucken A. He's transitioning to being a bonafide superstar. Always been a star but now he's looking like and elite.
Can't believe he's been labelled a locker room cancer by Chicago and Minny, and he was underappreciated in Philly. Snowflakes the lot of them

Yeah nah. He was toxic. But I’d say Pat Riley and Spoelstra know how to manage someone like that better than most in the league.

When the others didn't feel the same way as him he wouldn't back down and escalated. Him, especially Riley and Spo are the perfect union

He’s probably reached a point in his career that this is his chance too.
Today’s game had a very Warrior-esque feel to it. Duncan moving and shooting like Klay. Ball movement and defensive pressure. Iggy earning his pay cheque as an assistant coach 😎

I dont think you can argue against TGF. They were on pace for a 70 win season, his offensive numbers were amazing and he was DPOY.
Its funny who gives a shit about it though - or who doesn't. TGF, Harden, Westbrook on one side, Lebron, Kawhi, Curry on the other...

LBJs Lakers brutalising Denver in game 1. Jokic was in foul trouble early and never recovered after having to battle AD, McGee and Howard. Murray also in foul trouble early as well. LA got good contributions from many, including Rondo with 7 points 9 assists. The series is far from over, LA show how they plan to win out

They got a Chuck "GAH-RAN-TEE" of a sweep on TNT. I'm inclined to agree 🧹 Lakers just too good and everything coming together at once. I think having older guys helps, they can deal with the bubble better.

I wouldn't be surprised, but the Nuggets are very talented. I think they will grind Jokic down, he can't handle AD, Dwight and McGee. Dwight looked like a guy who's been waiting for his moment for a long time

My theory on the bubble is that its making team chemistry even more important. The teams that actually like each other, rather than just show up for work each day, are thriving. So we see the young, fun teams like Miami, Celts, Denver and even Dallas though they lost KP then the series, all thrive, and teams like Houston and the Clips who are more business like and don't really want to be there, all fail.
Lakers the obvs ones who don't fit the age criteria, but i think Lebron has done an awesome job of bringing them all together, and they genuinely seem to like each other. Taco Toooooosdaaaay!!!!
Anyone with me??!! 😀

I think this is spot on, sort of what I was getting at with the bubble impact but you expanded on it much better than me. You are so right the Clippers and Rockets they are just colleagues not friends!

@barbarian Almost threw the remote at the TV after seeing Plumlee’s D on that last play. Great shot for AD, but he had made one from that spot earlier in the game, so should’ve stayed at home for that inbounds pass.

AD's buzzer beater was awesome today, though it will overshadow the Lakers completely shitting the bed in the last three minutes and giving up a nine point lead.
The Nuggets will probably lose this series, but man they have some ticker.
LeBron made two turnovers, but that Nuggets team are so explosive and Jokic thought he'd stolen it. AD came up big late in the 4th and the last second dagger took that win away from Denver

Have a watch of this
