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

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

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

How in the fukk did you get all this nonsense from me simply saying 'its going to be interesting to see how much LeBron guards Durant'. Y'all LeBron stans sure are an insecure bunch.

 

[Ain't That Something]

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.

Why? Durant gone drop 30-35 on Bron. Bron gone turn around and drop 28-31 on Durant and the Warriors should win running away with the series

There last match up in the finals went about the same difference is Bron had the better team now Durant got the better team

I told my boy @Gil Scott-Heroin

hat Kerr lost the series with his horrible coaching

He loves Kerr though

Nah, they lost that series because Barnes shot 5-32 in the last three games on mostly open looks, and Draymond was basically their only healthy defensive lynchpin with Bogut going down injured and Iggy playing with a fukked back. Kerr wasn't perfect, but he's well down the list on reasons why they lost that series.

 

[Ain't That Something]

He should have never left Miami Dwade > Kyrie, Bosh> Love

Spoiler

low-key miss that front running nikka on the heat

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

It was bad coaching by Kerr tbh. They patched it up in game 7 and Steph didnt get in those situations. It was too late by then though

Most of that shyt couldn't be helped though: Curry was hobbled, Draymond was out for a game and couldn't aid with his help D (+ Bogut going down), and when he did come back Iggy provided little to no resistance on Bron because of his back. It basically fukked up their general function on defense.

I hear you but the 2nd time kerr saw them doing it he shouldve made an adjustment. No need for curry to be switching when at worst your giving up an open lebron jumper. Curry fouled out in game 6 in part because kerr didnt act quickly enough

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

KD won't guard Lebron they always hide him and Curry

Draymond and Iggy will guard Lebron like he did the past 2 finals and Klay and Livingston will guard Kyrie like always

So this whole thread is pointless

Lebron is 18-5 against KD why would he be scared to guard this nígga all of sudden

What kind of nonsense is this? Did you miss the matchup they had earlier in the season?

Kerr played useless ass Ezeli and varajeo and literally gave the game away

That was more to do with the horrible officiating than anything else, as he only committed one foul on a LeBron switch.


Especially the last two when he picked Kyrie's pocket clean on a dribble drive, and the other when LeBron floppin' onto him. Officials treat him like he's a scrub on both ends.

 

[93 til]

Watch the games before you post this nonsense.

Elaborate.

Since ya know, I don't want these games n all

DOMINANT DEFENSE

It really is. Like Steph/KD don't do the exact same thing and have the luxury to gamble on blocks n steas

I. Durant was arguably the best performing wing defender in the league prior to his injury; protecting the rim, guarding 1-4 and acting as a secondary help defender
II. Folk have a distorted perception of Curry's defense on this board, and tend to use the '16 Finals too much as a frame for his abilities on that end (when he was dealing with the lingering effects of a MCL sprain) by citing possessions of Kyrie scoring on him as evidence for being a bad defender. Which is funny because Kyrie makes a fool out of every single player in the league, it's hardly damning to use in evidence against Curry. But they don't talk about Curry's stellar defense on Westbrook, or his effectiveness on switches in the WCF in the same manner. Or the fact he was one of the best defensive PGs throughout the '15/'16 regular season.



I mean look at the buckets Kyrie was droppin' when Bradley and Smart (two great defenders) were his primary defenders. Does that mean they ain't shyt on the defensive end either?

At least LeBron earned his stripes as a more than capable defender in his younger days (a tad overrated tho).

Durant hasn't earned his stripes as a "more than capable defender"? Durant has been a GREAT defender for years now (arguably a better peak than LeBron). Which is funny when I see folk plant the notion of him throwing the WCF last season, when he was the BEST defender in the series, yes even better than Draymond who was MIA for most of Games 1-4. He was puttin' the clamps on Curry/Klay, shutting off driving lanes and suffocating their floor space, helping Ibaka anchor the PnR D and protecting the rim. He was basically a 7ft version of Draymond. It's half the reason his offense took a dip throughout the series because his defensive load was taking its toll on him.

Ask about what happened in 2011.l

LeBron was barely guarding Rose in that series, and it was mostly their team defense NOT LeBron which limited Rose - The Bulls-Heat 4th Quarter Project - Completed - RealGM

Breh I was simply pointing out these petty arguments for LeBron can be brought up to others as well. That was my point. OP tryna clown LeBron like the Warriors won't do the same for Durant/Steph. All 3 are very good playing off the ball defense and it shouldn't be a knock, it is what it is. Shoot Durant is the best one on one defender out of the bunch due to his height and his ability to move for a dude his height, but he ain't no Pippen. Lebron will get his on KD and vice versa.

Each has their faults, but I never said they were shyt. I'm just tryna call out the petty nitpicking

 

[rapbeats]

HES BEEN DOING IT FOR HIS LAST 9 PLAYOFF SERIES.

HE EVEN HID ON NOAH FOR A WHILE 10 SERIES AGO.

HE ABOUT TO GET PUT ON THAT ISLAND NOW.

NO MORE HIDING BRON.



​

oooo wee bron better be glad he plays in the era of soft face up non power, powerforwards and soft bigs in general.

Otherwise he would get that work down low.
