Another great game by the 41 year old leading his team. Was more focused on distributing than scoring today.

Luke Kennard play exceptionally well too: 27 PTS, 4 AST, and 3 REB on 5-5 from the arc.

The Lakers handled Houston’s defense well today and I expect LeBron to be more aggressive once KD comes back.

The best part of this whole thing is that he didn’t have to play 40 minutes with 35 points for us to squeeze out a win

Yep. Just 38 mins and 26 seconds

The minutes aren’t the point lol. Its the takeover effort that he saved on. Like in game 4 of the 2023 WCF where he came out and scored 30 in the first half because he knew that if he didn’t, we’d be cooked

Lakers did a good job of being able to get the ball past half w/o having to rely on Bron to do so, that saved him a lot of energy.

Also he was damn near exclusively in the high and low post instead of creating from the top of the key.

Salute to JJ on the game plan, he did a great job of keeping Bron fresh

Smart and Kennard are a godsend

JJ would have anyone but Bron run up the ball to halfcourt

I’m gonna be honest. I knew Luke had some wiggle to his off the dribble game. But I didn’t know he could handle the basketball this well.

Maybe I’m just a casual at this point, but I didn’t realize Smart still had juice like that (outside of a couple rough looking TO’s lol).

He’s been such an essential part to not only our defense, but our team as a whole. I’ll take the Marcus Dumb plays in exchange for everything else lol. Luka actually played a big part in recruiting him

He’s the type to go 1-10 in the first 40 mins then show up with the clutchest plays you’ll ever see

Right? It’s refreshing to see him orchestrate the offense and let others cook while still being impactful.

The combination of scoring, offensive AND defensive playmaking? Easily the best played on the court and maybe the best player in the series if he keeps it up.

This is the 40+ year old Bron I expected. So it’s a wonder that he still can go for 25+ points regularly.

Why bring up curry in a LeBron appreciation thread? Does he live rent free in your head

why can’t people just appreciate both legends.

With that said, I am sad that Curry isn’t in the playoffs this year. Feels wrong

Curry is anything but washed and I am excited to see him next season after he fully heals his knee.
