So glad I found your channel. Best basketball analysis out there. You see things that others don’t see. You are a teacher of the game. God bless you in all your endeavors.
Is this what I've heard about LeBron not being able make his teammates better?? Since his play style is is slower and doesn't play to the strengths of quicker play style of his other team members . I've never seen someone break it down so well even though I been watching for 20 plus years never understood the sets very well and watching your vids help me have a better understanding, thanks. Love the detail you put into these vids
Yeah that "lebron makes his teammates better" is all a narrative. You can even look at the players stats. They always go down with lebron. Yet when they leave they thrive. Lebron didn't want kcp and now he's a champion on the nuggets
As soon as it hit that 10:09 mark I got worried just like you highlighted. The game slowed all the way down thanks to Malone adjusting and Bron slowing us down to protection ball when AD and D'Angelo hopping is what got us the lead. Ham not having a counter didn't help either. Overall just a snowball effect leading to an unfortunate outcome for us
I’m a huge LeBron fan and unfortunately this is true, the moment he started taking over on the games, I’ve seen the lead go lower and lower. In the first 3 games AD had 6 touches COMBINED in the 4th quarter… not exploiting what actually was making them win.
Great insight bro ! You got great points ! But let’s be real all of bron’s possessions were positive ! The reason why lakers blew the lead was AD’s foul trouble..1 minute after bron sub’d out in the 3rd AD got his 4th foul ! & THATS when Denver got momentum! Not Bron’s “pace” that blew the game
I think you do have to give credit to Malone and the Nuggets as well. Out of halftime the Lakers were having success and the Nuggets were struggling guarding the Bron/AD PnR against Gordon and Jokic who was in drop coverage w/ Murray on the weak-side who was pretty ineffective as the tag on the roll with the size mismatch against AD. Nuggets adjusted putting KCP on Bron, Gordon on AD, & Jokic on Rui. Bron still tried to hunt the Jokic PnR mismatch/action and while it had success for the first few possessions it slowed them down thus going to your point the Lakers offense went stagnant and the rhythm was thrown off (*which is common theme and showed in Game 3). It was a smart adjustment imo bc it allowed Jokic (a bigger play) to defend and help even though he was guarding a good 3pt shooter but I would assume the Nuggets were willing to live with Rui beating them and focus on preventing Lebron from getting to his spots to score or play make, forcing the offense to be even more stagnant. They could have tried to post up AD or even Bron vs the smaller KCP but the Nuggets would shrink the floor and it would be tougher with Jokic in paint patrol. In that case they needed to get some action going involving DLo who had a hot hand or some of their other players like Reaves or potentially Dinwiddie. Call me crazy but it would be interesting if the Lakers did take a play out of the Nuggets playbook and run the high MBS with DLo and AD w/ Bron in the dunker spot *again call me crazy w/ Bron in the dunker and not in primary action lol. It also didn’t help when AD picked up his 4th foul and to your point about DLo he does take some shots that don’t need to be taken like that one in the 3rd. While it was a good look for him it’s more so of having an understanding of time, score, and momentum. Momentum was not on our side the and Nuggets were pushing the pace. It would’ve been smart to slow down and call something. He did do this in game 3 as well I wanna say in the 2nd. However I don’t think all the blame should be on him as I would assume lot of it is frustration where he isn’t getting his touches/shots as well. I thought the game plan for the Lakers and the adjustments made from game 1 to game 2 were good. They switched AD onto Jokic, Rui on MPJ I believe, and Lebron on Gordon for the reasons that one Rui was struggling vs Jokic and two AD was a little too slow on the backside to contest shots or make rotations. Putting Bron on Gordon allows a more mobile defender while still athletic enough to protect the rim and smart enough to play a little cat & mouse game to control the back line. The Spain PnR the Lakers drew up and ran the last few possessions was working for them. Bron missed the shot and the rest was history. Ultimately the Nuggets are just too good. It’s hard to stop Jokic he’s just too big and too skilled. The Murray + Jokic PnR is one of the most lethal actions to guard. Lastly they have a really good supporting cast that knows their roles and gel really well together that have been in tough situations and understand how to handle them based on last season. Guarding the Back screen into a handoff action KCP or MPJ not so easy to guard, taking a play out of the warriors playbook. Idk just some thoughts I thought I share. Curious what you think. I love just learning about the and would call myself a student of the game and like to chop it up with people about basketball x&os etc just to learn more.
Well said “Bron was doing his thing when he was there. It’s what happened when he left, as a result of what he DID!” That’s why Bron is impeccable when it comes to +/- stats, but stats don’t show this negative effect on the team. It makes his teammates look like bum when they are not.
After this game, I realized exactly what happened but couldn’t do a full in-depth analysis like you do. As a Laker fan but not a Lebron fan, I think we lost this game solely due to Lebron trying to control “pace” in the third causing others to lose rhythm. You can clearly feel that if you are watching the game as a true Laker fan. But Bron-sexuals of course are not happy when I say that. Thank you for this kind of analysis to back me up.😂
Anyone who says lebron is the goat is a filthy stat worshipping casual who has never played real ball in their lives imo. Dude aint even top 5 after this series.
Honestly Bron’s pace shouldn’t matter!! AD & DLO has to step up whenever LeBron’s out..if anything that gives them more freedom to get their “rhythm” back ! D-lo was running from the ball the whole second half!! & AD HAS the green light to exert his dominance whenever Lebron gets his rest! (For example Austin Reaves was tuning the pick & roll with AD instead of D-Lo🤦🏾♂️) Crazy no matter what Lebron does he’s met with criticism 🤣🤦🏾♂️
How can Lebron by himself blow leads when it’s a 5v5 sport mans legit avg over 25 ppg in the 1st round at 40 years old. But how can Lebron blow leads come on man you Lebron haters got to step yah basketball knowledge up and stop talking negative about another grown man who don’t even know you. Because if you go out there right now you’ll be looking like dlo dropping donuts but then go talk about lebron.☝🏼
Great analysis that proves it's actually LBJ who choked the game away even though on the surface it's as if statistically he was playing well, but surely LBJ fans would not want to admit or accept this.
Exactly bro like how Lebron gets the blame for his Co-Stars (AD & D-Lo) not stepping up whenever he leaves the game LOL Blaming it on their “rhythm”🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️
This is the problem, no one denies LeBron's individual talent, but does he elevate his role players, I don't think he does like jokic does. Jokic makes everyone better on his team.
“LEBRON” didn’t blow the lead…”The Lakers” blew the lead. AD didn’t score not one point in the last 19 mins of this game. Yall blame Bron for everything
@@kauffamn1016 AD literally got shots up in the second half…nun of em went in. Were they supposed to keep giving him the ball so he can keep missing …?
Dlo scored 0 points and sat on the end of the bench and sulked. Rui and reaves have been inefficient this whole series so far but yeah blame a 40 year old lebron
You’ll get a lot of views bc people hate LeBron lol. But you seem earnest in your take to provide actual good basketball breakdowns. So… the elephant in the room is simple. The Lakers have players who don’t understand situational basketball The game is played on 2 sides. I see you speaking of running uptempo offense up 20 lol. Big no-no. You never capitulate to the playing style of a player (D Lo) who is LESS consistent and has LESS championship experience than the 2 most efficient players on your team. The Nuggets are up 3-1 bc they have players who understand how to impact the game when their number is not being called on offense. That’s how mature, winning basketball teams operate. It’s not just about hoisting shots up to keep a rhythm. That’s how you get long rebounds and easy fast break buckets. A ton of those mental lapses were conveniently skipped over too lol Plainly put… the Lakers have to have situational awareness and they need to work half court offense… AFTER Adjustments have been made… and how to GROW a Lead and keep it. That’s coaching and preparation. D Lo is also not in year 3 anymore. If he misses on offense.. it’s a guaranteed defensive lapse on the other end. He has to clean that up. He doesn’t hit those shots enough at the rate of a guy like Steph to tolerate that. Notice how when Golden State had their run… they had 3-4 HIGH IQ guys around Steph who understood 2 things… how to play efficient basketball and how to impact the game in other ways than scoring. Steph was the knockout punch. D Lo simply needs to buy in on defense and play with urgency on both sides of the ball. Same with Rui and others and the Lakers will be fine. Just like they were in game 4. But uptempo ball up 20. Never. That’s making excuses for professionals who have yet to enhance their game outside of scoring. That’s what separates Ant from a lot of “young hoopers” he already understands this at 22 years old. That’s why Minnesota won when he only scored 15 lol
@@pattdor7 Exactly bro like how Lebron gets the blame for his Co-Stars (AD & D-Lo) not stepping up whenever he leaves the game LOL Blaming it on their “rhythm”🤣🤣🤦🏾♂️
AD is the true star of the team but Lebron’s ego won’t allow him to play his true role and take a backseat. AD kills for the first 2 quarters and then they stop giving him the ball especially in the 4th. Lebron as the primary ball handler stagnates the offense, takes everyone else out of their rhythm and forces his teammates to shoot forced shots with the shot clock running down. Everyone else gets blamed for the team failing… except Lebron. This is why without Lebron on the court the Lakers play better as a team whether they win or lose. Bye DHam.
