The guy seems to be figuring out the "conference finals" thing pretty well!
A true superstar and there are maybe 7 of those in the league.

I think he's just scratching the surface. Crazy.
I think next up will be improved playmaking/creating. His double team passing is not good right now so that's something he can improve. But man it's a joy to watch him play.

| I love you AD. You don’t play the analytics game. You kinda old school. Like Worthy and Coop wrapped into one with an added inch or two. I think you will build a real legacy here. |

He told Mike Trudell that the sprain was "bad" but not "too bad", and that he was fine. |

| His stats in the playoffs look good but why are his steals and blocks down in playoffs? He usually blocks double the shots. |

He is so delicate. At least 10 times this season. We've gone to commercial break and I thought he was done. Then he ends up playing the rest of the game.
He likes giving Laker fans a heart attack.

What?
LeBron still has another 3 years of being a top 10 player. Then by year #4 he will coast in the regular season, and the legend of Playoff Bron will be born, just like Playoff Rondo.

Luka-AD would be a seamless transition |

Every time he goes down to the floor I have a mini heart attack.  |

I think because he's being pulled away from the hoop by Denver and Houston. |

Yeah, his reactions to any sort of bump or bruise is worse than the actual bump or bruise. The way he was grabbing his ankles made it seem like a serious high ankle sprain.

I see where you're going with that.

Done. DM me for Venmo info. |
Hey, don't you owe me $200?  |
Terrible bet Baron *SMH*
Just throwing money away |
Lol I guess he wasn't throwing any money away, since he completely welched on this bet. Started coming up with excuses not to pay up (wanted to donate the $200 to charity "anonymously", said he didn't his real name being exposed on Venmo when he's the one who said to use Venmo as payment, etc.) Not a man of his word. |
Dude that is some serious weak sauce. Pathetic. |
Pathetic is the perfect word for it. No respect for this fool whatsoever.

| Got to get AD some sets in the 4th. All Lebron in the 4th hasn’t been good, especially if Bron can not knock down mid range shots. Too predictable, too much turnover and lots of dribble |

Need to blow them out so that LeBron & AD sit in the 4th.

Not worried (yet)
Per ESPN:
The Lakers listed forward Anthony Davis as questionable for Saturday's game because of a sprained ankle. Davis landed awkwardly on the ankle in the fourth quarter of Game 4 but stayed in the game. Earlier Friday, Vogel said Davis was "experiencing some soreness" but would be "good to go" on Saturday.

If Anthony Day to Davis doesn’t play, no chance the Lakers win this series.
Tough call on if they should hold him out as precaution for game 5. Puts all the pressure on G6. |
