    The sexy picks are LeBron and AD because they're the stats guys. But honestly, the x-factor for the Lakers for the entirety of these playoffs has been Rondo.

    Pope played great and ad made the dagger,, but lebron pretty much controlled everything for the Lakers the last 5-7 minutes.

    Can't believe dude is still so good at his age.

    Yep, I scoffed at analysts bringing up "Playoff Rondo" but then he absolutely carved us up and made me look like a jackass.

    Doesn't feel like LA played lockdown defense on Butler, so...idk. Not sure why Butler wasn't more on attack mode.

    Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if FMVP went to Rondo, like how the FMVP went to Iggy over all the superstars on that GS team.

    Jimmy still a basketball god now? 22 - 10 - 9
    Harden put up those numbers in a game .. . much less the finals game 4 . . . .. . he'd be crucified.

    LeBron the only Laker starter with a negative +/-

    When you let role players like kcp hit daggers then you know it's over. Seriously? Kcp?

    I hope the Heat to give up in Game 5. Lakers are beatable. It all came down to that shot clock violation and Bam's shot getting waved off with a few minutes to go.

    JVG and the commentators are screaming about the rebounding
    Why is Dwight not getting more burn. He torched them in the first two games

    He looked pretty bad at the beginning of the game. Among other things, he called for the ball under the basket, got the pass, and then got blocked super hard. As a Dwight hater, I must say it was glorious. I have to relish these moments knowing he'll (likely) get a ring before Harden.

    Butler definitely could have been more aggressive as I think he was turning down shots or looking to play make way too often.

    But I think the lakers and particularly AD deserve a lot of credit for that. AD as jvg pointed out went way under screens and basically dared butler to shoot the three. And when butler didn't, ad was able to do a great job on him in the paint.

    2 things...
    AD is a complete p***y!
    LeBron ridiculously whines on offense and defense...

    Fake ass championship for a fake ass fan base!
