- Just wanted to give some acknowledgment to JaVale McGee's stint with the Lakers. He was was readily available (started 130 games for the team), brought enthusiasm and was first off the bench to cheer for his teammates even after being removed from the rotation. Wish him the best
- This was my favorite LeBron sequence from game 5. Grabs the board, quickly scans for Nurkic, targets him & eliminates his ability to get back on defense by putting him in jail nearly the entire way up the floor before attacking what's left of the rim protection & offhand finish
00:00 - Rui Hachimura got the Nikola Jokic assignment at the 9 minute mark of the 4th quarter. Let's take a look at how this looked and what it opened up 🧵:
- Anthony Davis says he and Dennis Schröder "figured out" the pick and roll tonight.
- Funny thing about D'Angelo Russell is..he's 99% of us if we got to watch LeBron James and Anthony Davis do some crazy shit up close.
00:00 - *When Alex Caruso is on the floor (696 possessions): the Lakers are a +10.5 *When Alex Caruso is on the floor w/LeBron (392 possessions): the Lakers are a +21.1 *When Alex Caruso is on the floor w/LeBron & AD (160 possessions): the Lakers are a +40.4 *Data via @cleantheglass
- Since LeBron's night is likely done, a quick glance at his line: 60 offensive possessions 30 points 93% true shooting 10 assists (24 assist points) 6 rebounds 1 block +17
- So according to the league's tracking data, 27 of the Lakers' 35 threes last night were classified as either open or wide open. They converted only 2 of their 16 wide open chances. That just can't happen if they expect to win this series.
00:00 - Clippers today: +12 in bench points +9 in free throw attempts +4 on the boards (+6 on the offensive glass) +8 in fast break points Kawhi and PG had 58 points combined. Lakers by 9.
- Andre Drummond’s efficiency around the rim this year: Cleveland: 52% shooting Lakers / Regular Season: 62% Lakers / Playoffs: 71%
