    So many folx were calling AD a basketball god
    Runaway winner for FMVP
    All of a sudden they doubling him . . .and he worse than Harden

    Honestly . . . James and Ad acounted for what. . .50 pts
    I think people severely underestimated their role players

    if true, the +/- stats are meaningless

    Remember the first half?

    Dude was a non scoring turnover machine.

    +/- counts ALL the minutes, not just the good ones.

    this has always been the case on lebrons teams... i think hes good at encouraging and empowering role players...remember when ryan anderson made the spin move and the dunk... role players are capable they just need to be encouraged to do it often

    it also includes the 4th Q, when LBJ led the comeback and then extend the lead

    Yes, Rondo, Caruso, and Morris were the real killers against the Rockets. I actually thought we did a good job keeping LeBron and AD in check for the most part. But Lakers role players' 3-point shooting killed us.

    No one would have expected their 50% three point shooting
    anyone saying they did is a lying dog
    Even if they wide open

    Lakers got lucky, Heat injuries were too much to overcome, put an asterisk next to it ;)

    If the score starts 8 to 24 or if LeBron scores 41 (age Kobe died) or some other strange Kobe related number like that, I'll stop watching the NBA.




    Just kidding about not watching.

    Believe it or not, Rondo shot 35% from 3 in the last 5 seasons. Eric Gordon's 3pt% in the same period was 36%.
