Weren't we supposed to believe that he can't perform in the postseason because he couldn't beat Golden State with the likes of Rondo and E'twuan Moore?

 

[BIG FISH]

AD was out there “out-athleting” last night

its Hilarious how much slander AD has caught on NT in the playoffs. Take him over any other big man.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Mans is putting up 30/11 on 58% from the field and 40% from 3 and they wanna nitpick every little detail of his game yet all the other #2s on contenders been playing like straight garbage the entire playoffs. Makes no damn sense.

Bingo

The fools disrespecting AD look dumb and dumber as each game passes.

If I’m Houston I feel pretty good about the way I match up on paper after these first two games.

that said I’m not giving Houston the mental edge in any matchup after their recent history.

 

[pums]

As a hooper you should want your coach to defend you to the media but at the same time tell you how it really is behind the scenes.

 

[100027]

I’m trying to understand how Westbrook has become a worse shooter as his career has gone by. It’s crazy how no matter how hard someone works, they’ll just never become a good shooter. Has to be mental.

Aren’t all Westbrook’s issues mental?

Players should take notice on this, and hopefully Heat doesn't just make statements

Lakers fans talking big **** like they didn't go into hiding after game 1.

We saw y'all duck in the Laker thread, we ain't stupid.

Russell WestBrook the real MVP ..........................................for the Lakers !

 

[sneeker]

anyway, it was expected, you can't rely on WestBrook in the Playoffs. highly overrated

I agree with WestBrook needing help. the kind of help of teaching him how to shoot the ball more efficiently. maybe hire Lonzo Ball's shooting coach.

AD is shooting something like 65% on jumpers. If that continues you just tip your cap. All of them have been contested, he’s only taken 10 free throws combined in 2 games and he hasn’t annihilated you on the offensive glass. His jumper is just automatic right now. You gotta live with that.

That said even if AD is off one night you still have problems because he’ll still be at worst the 3rd-4th best player on the court. Whereas a bad game from Russ you’d want him off the floor entirely. So they’re obviously gonna have to find ways to make Russ effective.

Stagger minutes so Russ is always playing with either Harden or EJ, sit Harden when Bron sits so Russ is never playing without Harden against Bron lineups, implore him to drive off of Harden traps try to encourage that by having him set a pick & then roll for Harden, etc

 

[pums]

AD was making some contested fade-aways man. He was giving me flashbacks of panties.

 

[100027]

Not sure 65% on jumpers is that unsustainable when he’s shooting over guys that much shorter than him

NTers called a 30 year old man PANTIES

 

[ballinsam23]

No reason for today’s games to be this late.

 

[ill steelo]

Not sure 65% on jumpers is that unsustainable when he’s shooting over guys that much shorter than him

65% on wide open two point jumpers is rare much less contested by a player of any height, which is why every defense is geared to defend the 3pt line & the rim but concede the midrange.

 

[Zo gif]

Eric gordon legit kept them in this game.
Houston's shooting will always keep them close in games.
