LeBron will guard zaza /McGee at times to rest on defense

[G-Zeus]

and Love??? who will love guard?? if lebron takes Zaza... it leaves love with durant/green

the strange thing is.. cleveland's best defense just might come when the death line up is in..
then you can take out love and insert shump

 

[smitty22]

He's not going to attack KD

He's gonna do his best to get on Steph as much as possible from the PnR like he did last series and against IT.

Thats smart though .. Thats like me driving to the store instead of walking 10 miles to get there

Another petty thing for people to hate on.

It really is. Like Steph/KD don't do the exact same thing and have the luxury to gamble on blocks n steals. At least LeBron earned his stripes as a more than capable defender in his younger days (a tad overrated tho). Ask about what happened in 2011. LeBron is better roaming nowadays

Don't Dame/CJ and Wall/Beal routinely have good games against GS because they can't hide Curry? Wasn't KD just getting cooked by Simmons 1-on-1 Games 1-3 to the point Draymond had to guard him starting off in Game 4?

Y'all gotta apply these arguments to other players as well

I didn't say it wasn't. To me he always looks for the easiest way out and thats what doing that is.

He wants to avoid everybody on the floor except Steph

Its not about him though, its a team game. Making Steph work on defense takes away from Steph offense. Why it worked last year. Bron gets teams best defender every time on the floor for the most part and still dominates.

It's gonna be interesting to see how many reps he does get on Durant. I don't see it being a high amount with him needing to conserve energy and most importantly - staying out of foul trouble.

I'm glad you've finally came out as a GSW nut-hugger after putting up that impartial front last year that nobody believed...Continue hating the Kang...Will just make that ether much sweeter when those cupcakes lose and KD cries in his mamma arms again

The fukk? What team doesn't look to create and attack mismatches or weaknesses?

You think Curry or Durant didn't try to get Love involved in as many pick and rolls as possible?

How is trying to win and attack the opponent's weakest link consistently the "easy way"? Do nikkas think Jordan wouldn't "post up" IT or Curry every single second they tried to check him on the floor even if it was the easiest way out?

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Tristan will cover Durant when that happens.


Anybody else see this happening?

Tristian going to get baked

You act like I'm disputing it


Its the same shyt to where Steph will switch on a fukkin big guy and put him on skates. It's GS's job to figure out how to minimize that.

Bron does that and he's going to get baked.. Curry ain't IT lmaooo

You Bron stans stay defensive


I literally JUST said what he was going to do which is what he been doing all year. I didn't say it was bad or it wasn't smart. It's a part of the game

I think Curry being healthy will make it tougher to get in the PnR situations they put him in last year but I see Lebron trying to do the most of just trying to pick on Steph

GS will try to hide him but they will have to figure out how to minimize Curry defending Lebron because thats going to be his go to move

durant will avg 60 if TT is guarding him. I'll lose all respect for lebron if he let's tristian guard him.

People get caught up in the one stop against Chef and forget RJ pretty much took Loves minutes the entire finals. Dude has no role to play against GS, hasn't since he got there.

GS can do the same with Kyrie
