Expose them for the terrible defenders they are :). Those are fighting words! Klay's not a bad defender, actually pretty good or has been. But true than he's tired out on the other end so needs to pick and choose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many positive assets you'll have to attach to him to offload him will be the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expose them for the terrible defenders they are :). Play EXCELLENT defense on Steph & we’re in trouble if everyone else isn’t shooting great. It’s really that simple. Playing excellent defense on Steph typically means EVERYONE has to play excellent defense though too, because he doesn’t stop moving… Lakers finally have a killer defensive squad. It’s hurtful.

More Jan You Know Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Sixers are so confusing to watch. They aren't flashy or exciting to watch. They do the same thing every time around and it just seems so unorganized. Yet they put up like 120 points and manage to play good defense with Harden in their lineup? Half their offense is just Embiid just taking ugly fall away jumpers and it works? I don't know how they manage to make the Celtics looks so bang average, but they do. I think it's forsure over for the Celtics. Nuggets are super deep, I think they go all the way. No one seems super "explosive" though, they are all just like very solid teams that manage to sloppily win but play together. Phoenix can get explosive with Durant and Booker but not consistently enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD missing key part of the game and leaving in wheelchair because he hurt his little noggin is another story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like an old school LA squad and I’m loving it this is super late but when I originally read this post, I felt my Jordan-boner rising and I wanted to edgelord back. BUT...it's true, all of it. IF Lebron drags this team to a ring that's 5 rings to Jordan's 6 (Lebron's rosters for at least 2 of the championships would look like JV squads compared to the Bulls), scoring title, top 5 assists, and this year would make 11 finals appearances. IMO that's an actual argument and I wouldn't be mad who you pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Jan You Know Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 I think the whole Jordan Lebron thing, (or Jordan vs anyone for that matter) all comes down to preference. Do you care about the 'competitive' side of things? Does legacy matter? Overall impact on the game of basketball? Iconic moments? Big shots. etc If those matter, Jordan his hands down the GOAT, and it isn't debatable. His career and legacy, all those things, are near perfect. If it just comes down to player ability, court impact, statistics/accolades, then it's up for debate. Lebron. KAJ. Wilt. Russell. Lebron is just as complete of a player (what he lacks in offensive bag, he makes up for in size, athleticism, court IQ, passing, etc). He's not the same iconic competitor. Does that matter? Up to you. Did you see Wilt? KAJ? Russell? If not, you're not going to pick them. Kobe, no, just because he's a slightly lesser MJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
