Don't blame Russell, a role player. 50M for LE SWEEP! Not a good return on our investment. PLEASE LEAVE TOWN OR RETIRE YOU NARCISSISTIC BITCH! [Reply]

Sure but look at AD. 0 pts in the 4th in Game 2 and 1 pt tonight in the 4th.

This game is over now
AD went 33, 15 and 3 and LeBron went 24-5-8, both on great efficiency. They're just getting absolutely nothing from anybody else (Reaves and Russell in particular are completely sucking compared to their regular season numbers) and that's been the case all series. [Reply]

The GOAT is going to spend a quarter of his career in LA and retire there while winning 2 titles for them and you think the Lakers aren't going to do that for him?

AD is a Top 10-15 player and goes 0 points and 1 pt in the most important quarter but it is DLO's fault. Yeah he isn't very good but to win in the NBA you need your superstar's to show up when it counts.
Also where is the blame for Darvin playing DLO? [Reply]

If your expectation is for AD to get 40+ points every game, you're gonna be disappointed. He's never been that kind of player. He's honestly been quite impressive in this series overall in terms of his effort too (averaging 32 points and 13 REBs on 61% shooting while trying to guard the best offensive big ever).
And yeah, you absolutely need more from your alleged #3 scorer (18 PPG average this year) in Russell than zero points and perpetual awful performances in the playoffs if you're ever gonna beat that team.
And who would you suggest Ham play over Russell anyway? Their bench players suck too. They need him to show up in these games given their lack of secondary scoring and he just doesn't do it. [Reply]

Michael Jordan remains the unquestioned greatest, most consistent playoff performer in sports history.
Nobody today comes remotely close.
MJ did win 2 more rings shooting like dogshit against a bunch of mid teams that were nowhere close to as good as the dynasty Spurs, 2015-2018 Warriors & now the Jokic-Murray Nuggets teams LeBron has had to battle.
