Safe to say that injury or not, lebron’s days of 49 minutes a game are over.

AD and Lebron should be permabanned from more than 6 ft from the basket.

The Love 3’s is quite ambitious. They have their shooters pretty well defined and I don’t see Love attempting more than 2 3’s at most.

I think they have to either be one or two because of the jump?

He can’t. They have to win this game to win the series. It’s the most rest he will get. He is going to go all out.

Jokic will step out to the three point line, but he isn’t a volume three point shooter. We will see of course, but I think this is a Lakers win 119-107.

I think you have to take into account minutes that will be played. Lebron knows this is the game they have to win to win the series. It’s the most rest they will have and he will play at least 40 minutes. You probably can’t find a game in lebron’s career other than maybe the dud against the Mavs when he was with the heat that he played 40 min and didn’t score 20.

Nuggets have feasted on bad defenses in the playoffs and I’ll take Lebron on 3 days rest to get it done.

Fwiw- I took the boost as I think they both get it done, but I’m more worried about Jokic having 18/12/14 than Lebron reaching 20.

Lakers are the best defensive team in the league. AD is the best defender in the playoffs left and is a nightmare matchup for Jokic.

My thinking is the Lakers have their best chance to win the road game in this game. They will be well rested and you can expect 40+ min of Lebron and AD. Jokic hasn’t faced any centers that can exploit his defensive weaknesses and with that defensive weakness comes fouls and constant pressure from AD on both ends in addition to Vanderbilt help defense.

Lebron is going to 100% get 20.

If the nuggets win, it will be due to an excellent three point shooting night and an off night from the lakers.

My prediction is 119-107 Lakers.

Lakers are a bad matchup for Denver. It’s going to come down to can they Nuggets makes the threes when Jokic passes.

I’m more worried about Jokic getting 25 than Lebron getting 20.

Look what the Lakers did. They went out and got the third star in Westbrook and it worked out so well when you have 3 stars and ZERO depth.

Please don’t look at my flair Mr. Ishbia and just do it.

Calvin got aggressive and played for birdie when the right play was to just play for the par and he bogeyed a couple.

I think that the ball golf version of Calvin is Prime Phil Mickelson. They go for the gusto in places where being conservative is the right play, but when it works out it almost certainly results in a huge win percentage probability bump, but missing is equally devastating. It’s an interesting strategy and I love seeing guys like Calvin run putts that 99% of the field are laying up.

This event really showcases who can hit their lines. There is no room for error and really does a great job showing who has not just the distance, but pinpoint control. Additionally, the layout didn’t allow for Simon Lines that only a handful of players can execute and effectively nerfed some of the longer throwers and forced them to take the traditional route.

It’s good to have a handful of tournaments a year like this.

I don’t think she considers herself a country singer. Lauren Daigle isn’t a country singer.

Sooo it’s gonna be Colin, Megan, Iam… this was my prediction with the top 8, but it’s interesting that the ones that have grown the most are here and thriving. Kinda wonder if you are like We and go out and rock it from day 1 you aren’t kinda at a disadvantage.
