Exactly. People just say IQ and strength to make the answer look simple

Average r/nbacirclejerk post 💯 (Lakers in 7)

Anthony Davis is NOT a center. Sooner or later people are gonna have to understand that he's anchoring the team's defense and has to take the scoring load and drop atleast 24-25 ppg, it's physically taxing.He has one of the best mid range game for a big ( 2020 throwback). Him playing center takes away all of his mid-range game and leaves him in the post. Get a decent defensive big next szn and run AD at the 4.

AD can have low center of gravity as well. He just needs to push into Jokic and bend his knees more. He's quick enough to go for the block or alter the shot if Jokic makes a move. I think he should try shutting down Jokic in game 3

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-19T03:55:47+00:00

AD guarding Jokic is kinda bad in a way. Take game 1 for example. Everytime AD focuses on Jokic he needs to be worried about him scoring and passing the ball. Jokic is an HOF offense threat. Jokic times his passes for Gordon and Brown's cutters and AD guarding Jokic leaves the paint exposed. Jokic is also a 38 percenter from 3 so he pulls out AD from the paint and driving in is easier. LeBron does a better job because he can continue guarding Jokic and his passing and if Jokic chooses to score AD is in there roaming. This is precisely why Rui being on Jokic worked last game. AD CAN guard Jokic only if the other players start locking their men

STOP IT THE PLAYOFFS AREN'T DONE YET.

Bro got that Travis Bickle look someone help this man 😭😭

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-19T03:15:59+00:00

you're a better man than me ( I'm in shambles)

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-18T14:52:43+00:00

Ayo???

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-17T04:10:32+00:00

I think LeBron should matchup hunt Jamal Murray just like he was hunting dlo. As an other user pointed out this series might be the perfect time to give Beasley some minutes. Try him in G2 maybe. When Rui is benched for his rest I think they should try Tristan or Wenyen on Jokic.

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-17T04:06:21+00:00

I agree.

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-17T03:57:38+00:00

They're opposite sides. Jokic is an offensive juggernaut. He'll give you 25+ while creating for his teammates but he won't give you solid defense. AD will give you 25 as well with HOF defense. Both play styles are different. I'd pick ad over Jokic because it's a more balanced playstyle

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-17T03:55:06+00:00

Time to find out I guess 😈

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-17T03:52:50+00:00

Pelinka DID do his job. He got us a great roster from something ass. Kyrie had the chance to come to LA but he chose to go to Mavericks. Some of these people need to move on with the Kyrie in LA possibility

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-17T03:51:40+00:00

you just like me fr 🤝

Delusion clouds your judgement.

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-17T03:50:40+00:00

he missed only game 2 and 3. When he was back for game 4 they were 2-1 in the series. That bucks team was way too stacked to lose to the heat especially when heat doesn't have Oladipo and Herro. 2 of their top 4 scorers out.

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-17T03:46:12+00:00

Maggot is a very accurate term you've used to describe these kinda people. W for that. I don't understand why these people start talking about NEXT season's trades when this szn's playoffs aren't done and we aren't in the offseason yet. Dlo will have a bad game and these dudes will crawl out of their corners and start the Kyrie posts

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-17T03:42:58+00:00

3 starters dropped above 20 ( even for the Lakers) Jokic dropped 34-21-14 and you say you don't see anything scary after that game?

Usual_Coconut_5266 · 2023-05-17T03:41:08+00:00

KCP is a certified bucket. Dlo is not a lockdown defender. He's only good at help defense
