Feel bad for the Nuggets but like with many things in sports.....guys careers are made and lost in money time. Some execute. Some don't. It's a shame because Denver owned the execution that 3 minutes. The Lakers were actually pretty bad the last 3 minutes and Denver played excellent defense the last possession right up until that play. Again, Malone never should have put Plumlee in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Might be a hot take, but I thought Lebron looked like age might be catching up with him in the fourth quarter. Airballed a 3 and had an ugly turnover in the lane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Amazing play by Davis to drill the game winner, but, I don't think there should have been 2.1 seconds left. They blew the whistle on the previous okay shortly after Murray touched it, but we'll before the ball hit out of bounds. There either should have been a little more time or about a second less. Not sure if that changes the last play, but I couldn't believe they didn't review it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I won't mind if the Lakers make it to the finals. It will give me a rooting interest. Did I mention that I hate the Lakers? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shams said that the Pacers are interviewing about 12 candidates and then cutting the list. So that means not everyone on that initial list by Woj interviewed. It was also said that Chauncey wasn't going to interview until the in person interviews started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make a pretty strong case he is still the best player on the planet, he just has a guy that makes it so he doesn't have to do as much. As long as he is playing with AD, I think we'd have to see a big drop off that there is no evidence of yet to say this is his last title.

ATX_sig Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Even though he played at UK and strong armed himself out New Orleans, I really Like Anthony Davis. I hope Denver puts that magic together but it doesn't look good. Billy D is interviewing for the Pacers? I hope they land him. Doesn't already have a house in Indiana.

They don't have a facilitator that can create for others, and when you get to crunch time that matters a lot. That shows up in the second half of playoff games. Disagreeing is not ignoring. Had I ignored, I would not of responded. what is Kawhi suppose to do give the ball to a facilitator in crunch time just so a facilitator can give it back to him. I saw the Clippers missing a lot of open shots. I think having a faciltator is pretty low on the list of reasons they lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Love or hate LBJ. did you see his excitement after AD hit that shot. At this point he just wants to win and can still take over when he wants or become the facilitator when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that doesn't seem in his DNA but he wants to win titles and being in LA can make money elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lebron (if he gets title this year) might want one more to cement his legacy. Not that it's needed but winning titles with 3 different teams and getting Lakers one more than Celtics is big out there. Only can help in the legacy department. Again not that he needs it.

Yes good point. I’m neither a LeBron hater nor a LeBron fan. There is no question that he’s one of the best ever. But I see him slowing particularly on D, he’s not the consistent offensive force he was either, but he absolutely gets the best out of others around him and yes it’s possible they add a better player or 2 and win again. Still he can’t go forever, the end is not far off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lack of a facilitator isn't felt in the last play of a game, when clearly Kawhi is getting the ball. Can you, or anyone, point out the last team to win a title without a guy that could create easy looks for others? That's one of the top things teams need to win a title, IMO.

Even if he has lost something, he's still one of the absolute best players in the world and there is no reason to think that is changing in the next year or two.

I do think he’s still one of the 2 best players in the NBA. But it’s age man and he is starting to slow. Next year he’s 36. Then in 2 he’s 37. That’s too old to be the same dominant force, and the dude carries a large physique. He will slow again next year. No way he’s playing at the same level at 37. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he’s playing at the same level at 37. He might be slowing but can still take over when he wants or feels the need to. Also mature enough to facilitate and let AD do his thing. The oop to LBJ from Caruso and James is still eye level with the rim. Plenty in that tank. In 2 years he will still be better than 95% of the NBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. I think of an aging Kareem with Magic and Worthy on the same floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
