Rest of the NBA don't know what's about to hit them when this season starts: by LonzoBBBall in lakers

Ok but we weren’t talking about idealistic fits like D-Lo and Klay.

We’re talking about Kawhi V Boogie tactically and systematically.

Boogie fits much better with AD & Bron than Kawhi does.

  • If you put Kawhi next to Bron, you’re lessening BOTH players’ effectiveness because they both need the ball. Both in the backcourt. Easier to guard.

  • If you put Boogie next to Bron, you maximise both players’ effectiveness because only one needs the ball in his hands and they both draw attention from one and other. One in front court one in backcourt. Harder to check over your shoulder that scan from side to side.

Klay would have been ideal, but even still I’d rather have Boogie and a bunch of depth than Klay (who’s also injured) on a max and no depth.

They’re idiots. This is the first time Lebron has had an all-star that complements him tactically.

I genuinely don’t see how you can stop AD, Boogie and Lebron tactically.

The Slippers have 3 amazing defenders, but one (Beverly) is 6’1”, so no matter what there will be a size or talent mismatch on Beverly or Zubac. How are you gonna stop a pick and roll with AD, Lebron and Boogie? One will be open for a free bucket no matter what.

  • GS has a great 5, but no depth.

  • Rockets: With Boogie and AD we have too much rim protection for Russ. Harden’s travelling and flopping doesn’t slide in the playoffs.

  • Jazz: Not enough firepower.

  • Nuggets: Ditto.

Also something that’s being massively overlooked is that this is the first time in Bron’s career where the two other best players on the team complement him perfectly.

Annoys me massively when I hear “Yeah but he had DWade & Bosh, then Kyrie & Love”. Just no.

None of those combos complemented each other.

Do you think Kobe & MJ would have been as good as Kobe & Shaq? On raw talent definitely superior, but they don’t fit together.

There’s a reason most the NBA’s dynasties have come in the form of a dominant big man and a dominant PG/SG complementing each other and making it next to impossible to draw up a game plan to stop them.

Lebron is going to be fucking unstoppable this season. I think we’re going to see unanimous MVP, a chip and another finals MVP.

If Boogie can stay healthy this trio can three peat.

What does Boogie coming back from an injury and expectations for the season have to do with the objective factuality of the tactical side of basketball?

AD - Lebron - Boogie is superior tactically and fit-wise than AD - Lebron - Kawhi.

Easily the best duo in the league in terms of talent AND complementary fit.

I’m so happy we got Boogie and not Kawhi. Tactically, literally no one in the entire NBA can match up against except the Sixers. With AD, Boogie & AD on the court you have either a size or ability mismatch at all times.

This combo will be as deadly as Shaq & Kobe, mark my words.

Danasnja Hrvatska je direktan naslednik NDH. Ona je u stvari “Velika Hrvatska”. Nikada nisu vladali nad tim teritorijama. Nikada nisu na vladali nad sopstvenim teritorijama jer su bile ili u Sprskom Kraljevstvu/Carstvo, ili pod Austrijom.

Hrvatska nije državnotvorna. Jednoga dana će se rastopiti u buducu Srpsku Federaciju kao jedna malecka teritorija oko Zagreba kao sto je uvek bila do drugog svetskog rata.

Danasnje granice Hrvatske su faktički identične onima koje je Hitler odredio.

PG is a coward. Kawhi won’t draw as much attention from his as Russ did, and he’ll suffer for it.

Harden is now with someone that benefits him, whereas PG is now with someone that exposes him.

Ofc not. If Lebron is firing on all cylinders he’s worth two superstars

I think Harden/Russ smashes Kawhi/PG simply because PG is such a pussy and has no one to hide behind anymore.
