The irony behind a poster called SPACE IS FAKE dapping this.I said my peace. If you want to die on the hill that JJ was correct to play 5 guys 24 straight minutes on the road in a game where he had a 10 point lead you're welcome to find someone else to debate with.
You did say your piece, but as proven again in Game 5 it didn't matter. Which is what I made abundantly clear to you in my argument. It didn't matter what changes to the lineups were made, it still came back to the fact their roster was the issue. They stole minutes for their main lineup in the 2nd half of Game 5 and they still couldn't generate offense in the 4th when they checked back in. The same reason why if they did the same in Game 4, it wouldn't have mattered either.
The accumulation of having to battle against a much bigger and more athletic team wore them down in every game, where any amount of rest during a game wouldn't have sufficed. The main guys still needed to play big minutes and they were still inevitably going to get less effective as the game went on due to fatigue. Nothing was going to change that, certainly nothing a 2-3 minute break would've done.
The series was a crash course on what happens when a team with a deep frontcourt comes up against a team with a non-existent one.
This is how disingenious you are.One thing that gets lost from that game is that LeBron actually played 38 straight minutes.
Claiming he played 38 straight when those minutes were split up by an extensive halftime is nasty work.
Exactly.
That's why it was a pick your poison situation.
Damned if you do play the bench because they're giving you nothing and damned if you don't, because it means you'd be running one lineup into the ground.
65 minutes between Gabe and Vando over the last two games and all they could come up with is 2 points between them. Yet somehow you're still stuck on this stupid ass record of believing that a couple more minutes rest for the main lineup would've made any difference in this series.
We can see now that no matter what strategy the Lakers implemented, they were always going to lose. Their lack of depth was just far too much to overcome.
Jordan also never made the playoffs in his 40s

You have no idea what would've happened and bringing up the game after which was an entirely different situation is silly.The irony behind a poster called SPACE IS FAKE dapping this.

Disingenious?
I'm quite certain everyone reading this thread understands that if you play 38 straight minutes of organized basketall that includes halftime.
The audience not dumb. Shape the stories how you want. Hey Gil they're not slow.

BTW Gabe and Vando didn't... and the Lakers still won their minutes
Selectively editing my quote to leave out the part where I demonstrated that the Lakers got positive bench minutes is ACTUALLY disengious.
You're spiraling.
Harden 47 minutes tonight.
Usual suspects in this thread will ignore the Clips couldn't steal any minutes for him.
p.s. they won the game.

this shyt STILL smokin' me
He didn't even make the first round after the age of 38, these stans would erase it from history if they were ministers in North Korea
I don't even know why we have to cap when what he did was impressive enough to be called the goat
Because he played in the shytty expansion era on a team capable of winning 60 games replacing him with a scrub from ItalyWho cares the man won 6 rings in 6 straight full seasons
Second best player on MJ's team when he was 40 was Jerry Stackhouse.
Last year he had AD, who is considered one of the best in the game and after the Luka trade, a top 10 player.
He had a consensus top 5 player next to him in Luka, that finished 3rd in MVP voting last year and led his team to the finals.
The year before MJ turned 40 Shaq finished 3rd in MVP voting, you think the Wiz make the playoffs of Shaq was on the team?
Lakers traded for Luka midseason on a makeshift roster without a center.
Wizards MJ wasn't even better than Stackhouse
He averaged 20 PPG on an awful 49 TS% (compared to Stackhouse's 21.5 on 53 TS%). MJ was one of the least efficient guards in the league. Replace Stackhouse with Shaq and the Wizards aren't doing shyt with MJ as the second option. Maybe they win a round because the East was horrendous but that's the extent of their success.
