I hope you guys beat Philly also! Screw the Eagles

LeBron will get hacked at the end of the game and the ref won’t blow the whistle.

Every city jersey should be black from now on. LeBron’s biggest moments have been in a black jersey also (2016 finals, his entire 2018 playoff run, 2020 in the Mambas). We should be wearing them in the playoffs too

LeBron post the all star break was back to looking like the best player in the world. I think he averaged like 30-8-10 from the all star break all the way to the covid shutdown and yep, he was the best player on the court against the Bucks and Clippers that weekend.

I don’t think anyone can stop Jokic, but the best strategy might honestly be to live with his scoring and limit his passing opportunities. In one of the games in the Nuggets Suns series, Joker had 53 pts but only 4 assists. That may be a better formula than him getting a 30 pt triple double.

I’ll say we beat the Jazz and Pistons, and go 1-2 in those middle 3 games. So 3-2 total.

Bron and AD have to be great for us to have a shot, but some of the rotations (like not playing Rui or Wood enough when they’re hot, and overplaying guys that are struggling) are wack.

Sometimes, a player doesn’t have it and you just got to go with the hot hand. Vogel, as polarizing as he can be, made adjustments. in the bubble, he benched JaVale and Dwight during the rockets series, despite their big contributions in the Blazers series. Then Dwight and JaVale were brought back for the Denver series in 2020 to help with Jokic.

In the NBA, the game is about matchups and putting the right players on the court at the right time. Bron and AD are a constant, but sometimes you need to put the most winning lineups more. Like last year against Denver, we should’ve used the Dennis/Reaves/Bron/Rui/AD matchup more. Could’ve given AD some breaks guarding Jokic and have Rui get some time doing it.

We have a good team, but the coach cannot be our weak link. When we’re a win now, we have to make abrupt changes to improve our chances and that is firing Ham.

We’re overreacting cause our roster now should be better than last year at the start of the season, and we’re trying to avoid the bad start.
