paul george nowhere to be found at crunchtime lol

pero kung hindi dahil kay PG at first 3q tambak sila sa lakers. di danny green na nagbantay sa kanya at si AD..

[vinci]

Nanalo pa OKC sa Boston.  Iba rin puso nitong team na ito.

Noticed this as well. The synergy between George and Leonard isn't there yet. Leonard took over the 4th rendering George as a spectator while James did his thing while keeping Davis productive as well.  Big difference when the league's assist leader is in charge of the offense

[oznola]

the team (Clippers) looked disjointed kanina. hope there's no major internal issues.

[synchro_01]

Danny Green continues to be a disappointment this season. His defense is still there but his offense is literally absent. At USD $15M this season (third highest salary sa Lakers) more is expected. Had it not been for Bradley's shooting they could have lost this game big time.

He was a disappointment for me since his Spurs days. Very inconsistent.

Markieff Morris had a more decent performance kanina against his twin brother Marcus.  Kahit 4 pts lang sya, mga crucial yun baskets nya and provided some stops.   Buti na lang sya kinuha ng Lakers at hindi si Marcus na humingi pa ng trade ( Kuzma and Green )

[oznola]

ayaw matapos nitong laban ng Hornets at Hawks. 2nd OT na.

[oznola]

finally. Hawks took the W

Saka meron nagtataka kung bakit wala daw gusto maging kakampi si Tatang LBJ, yung kakambal gusto pala kumampi. Eto meron na naman bago kakampi si Waiters, si JR Smith hoping pa din maging kakampi ulit si Tatang LBJ

I think the Lakers pursued Marcus during the trading period.  Nga lang, gusto ng Knicks ka trade si Kuzma and Green, to which LA said no. And they went for Markieff who cleared his waiver.  Turned out to be a good decision after all.  Markieff's pretty decent in his games.  Kuzma is back to his natural one-on-one slasher role.  Si Green naman, I think the Lakers are expecting he steps up come playoffs.  Laking bagay if he does hit his stride. 

Si Tatang LBJ, kelangan ng impact players that he is comfortable with and I guess Dion Waiters will be a plus factor.  Eto sabi ni Dion - https://heatnation.com/media/dion-waiters-not-worried-about-fitting-in-with-lakers-says-hes-always-had-bond-with-lebron-james/

Same case with JR Smith sans his brain fart in the finals lol . Gusto rin sya ni LBJ kakampi as he fits James' style.

Problema ni Waiters yun attitude nya.  But I am not concerned.  Dwight Howard came back to LA with more baggage than Waiters and Smith. May history si Howard ng pasaway but look at him now as a role player. 

So everything seems okay in LA.  Buti naman, after 7 years diyoskopo!

[v1n5anity]

Lakas ng Raps beating a good Jazz team on the road on a back-to-back without VanVleet, Gasol and losing the Player of the Week in Norman Powell in the 1st qtr.

[JeromeA]

Tigil na lakers kay smith kasi meron ng waiters. Overpaid talaga tong si green.unang offer palang sa kanya nagulat na ko bakit ganun kalaki.pero so far kahit wala masyado sa offense malaking bagay sa defensive stop si green.

Sa clips naman kahit kelan iisa lang talaga lagi pwede mag step up every quarter between PG and Kawhi kasi both players scorer lang. Unlike LBJ every quarter pwede sya mag dominate at the same time isasama nya ang kakampi nya.

Yung marcus puro parin satsat gaya nung boston days nya.bully masyado pati si beverly.my comment pa si bev after game di daw mahirap bantayan si Lebron.excited na ko magtapat sila sa playoff pag healthy si bron sigurado magagaya to ky jason terry kaka bully bumulagta.

[synchro_01]

That’s the skill of James that neither Kawhi nor PG13 possesses...the skill of passing. When James drives to the hoop and gets doubled you are most likely burned by him passing to an open man. If PG or Kawhi forces the issue and gets doubled it results to a challenged and lower percentage shot. It is also noteworthy that if James gets covered one on one the likely results will be an “and one” or a FT at least. 

The 4th quarter Clippers game is the example on how James can dictate the offense.  The only caveat there is when his team mates fail to deliver when they are open.

The AD and LBJ PNR might be the most feared weapon that they can utilize again and again in the playoffs if they need to produce critical points.  Very difficult to cover since both are big, agile, can drive to the hoop with contact and most importantly both have a good outside shot

Bakit di ko na napapansin si Deandre Jordan? Di na naglalaro?

Green missed an open 3 kanina which could have tied the game vs Nets.  Yun mga ganun shots dapat na dedeliver nya. 
Anyway, si LBJ nag mintis ng finger roll din naman.  Lol

Napanuod  ko sya kanina ( FB Live Streaming ).  Babad naman.  Deandre played for 27 Minutes.  8 pts 12 rebounds. And 2 crucial missed free throws down the stretch. Buti na lang nanalo Nets. 

[thebat]

Yan ang example bakit Lebron seldoms take the last crucial shot lalo na kung behind sila. Sumasablay kse sya, and this time around a point blank, no contest, kiss the ring-lay up. Kaya nung nakuha pa nila last shot talagang pinasa na lang nya para di na sya masisisi.

For me, given na yung di ganon kalakas yung cluth gene ni LBJ tulad ng iba, But yung last 2 plays nya kanina di lang talaga inukol ng basketball gods.  yung point blank shot is coming from a contact. di naman libre talaga. yung last play sobrang libre ni AD dahil sa drive ni LBJ.  di lang na convert.

Contested naman.  Let's give credit to the Net's defense.  Mali lang yun pektus and niluwa nung ring.  But yeah, it's a shot that he would normally make.  As for the ensuing play, I expected LBJ to look for a shooter, which he did being a pass first type of player.  Binigay kay AD cos AD was on fire.  Mintis nga lang.  Sana matalo ulit Bucks hahaha.  Para may pagasa sa homecourt adv lakers.

Lebron is a playmaker much like in the mold of Magic or Jason Kidd or Chris Paul.  Yan ang DNA nya.  He would opt to look for open shots by teammates. His scoring is more of a necessity talaga.   Unlike the Black Mamba whose MO is to score, at all cost.  Or Jordan perhaps.

Aren't Magic, Kidd and Paul proven and considered clutch players in general?

Yes they are.  And so is Lebron. Isn't he?   I was actually comparing Lebron's style to them for being a pass first player who normally won't take game winning shots in the context of the discussion.   But he's done it alright.  Statiscally, Lebron's clutch.

Not for me. He's had two finals appearances wherein he averaged 2ppg in the final 6 minutes of finals games.

Against Dallas ba and Spurs?  Oh my.  Oo nga noh 

Anyway, I guess may redemption na yun with his playoff games vs Pacers, Magic and Finals vs. GSW ( down 3-1 ) among others. He has buzzer beaters in crucial games to back that up.  Sabi ng ESPN "he has the most game-tying/go-ahead field goals in the postseason's final 24 seconds of fourth quarter and overtime" since he came into the league in 2003.  I think by the general definition of clutch, he's pretty clutch alright.

Dallas and the GSW, the one if I remember it correctly where he averaged a triple double in the finals but scored only 2ppg when under 6 minutes in the game.  Yun sa Dallas nga 2ppg in the entire fourth quarter.

Well it's good ESPN has the stats. My opinion is through eye test only.
