    LeBron really is the TJ Perenara of NBA players eh - just a constant whinge fest.

    i just don't like him, never have

    that last bucket of his was fucking great play though. He's an amazing player.

    You know you love him deep down, just get on board.

    @raznomore What about LeBron shutting down Kawhi on the final play (someone doesn't like to go left) and then switching onto PG to force the off balance shot?

    Vintage last minute of play from the King.

    But I still have the Clips to go all the way when they get Harrell and Lou Will back.

    If PG had made the same defensive play on LBJ, Lebron would’ve been shooting 3 FTs...

    It was a funny sort of game. That lineup the Clippers went with both Morris and Green I didn’t like. Harrell’s hustle and Lou’s shot making was sorely missed

    You're joking aren't you? Please tell me you are. You can't possibly be claiming that LeBron fouled PG on that final play?

      Also, how good was LeBron D on Kawhi at the end of Q2? Little statements, some meaningless, some lasting mentally, love that about bball leading into playofffs.

        I don’t think it was a foul, but there was body contact as PG rose up for the shot and it’s those instances that Lebron oversells and gets calls.

          I thought both games were a bit shit though TBH. To be expected I guess.

          But I absolutely need to see more Zion. What an animal. What a #8 he would make...

            Come on, that was never a foul, against anyone. And I certainly don't think LeBron gets more calls than any other star. Go back and watch Iggy and Draymond mauling him in the 2015 finals if you need to find some sympathy. Iggy even scored an MVP for his wrestling.

              @voodoo I reckon he gets more love from the refs on both sides of the ball. He’s a phenomenal player but there have been plenty of “No WAY” moments watching him.

                There were times LBJ went to the rim expecting a call and didn't get it, so you couldn't say the refs were bailing him out.

                Noah will be a good addition to the Clippers.

                    @voodoo yeah Bron had him locked up. I don't want to read into it too much but there were periods of play where Kawhi looked rusty(which is to be expected) and disinterested(defense mainly).

                    I see there is a video still doing the rounds of Lebron allegedly grabbing Kawhi's arm on the final play of the game.

                        Mavs and Rockets with the highest scoring first half of the season.

                        85-75 halftime.

                        That's a full time score in the 90s.

                            @voodoo Kawhi. Kawhi has the ball at the top of the key. Gets to the free throw line and goes to spot up. It appears as though LeBron grabs his arm, or at least makes obvious contact. Kawhi rethinks the shot but it looks like he was stopped from taking it. He rolls out with a smirk on his face and outlets to PG. Game over.

                            I think its good d myself. Judge for yourself. KCP does an outstanding job on switch d as well. Not allowing Leonard to get into position for a second shot.

                                      @raznomore the D on Leonard was very good. Leonard’s not hard to read but it’s another thing to stop him given his strength and mid range game. Leonard knows his spots.

                                      There was a nice nudge on PG when he took that 3 though. Again good on Lebron for getting away with it. 😀

                                          Enjoyed watching the Spurs and Kings game. Both teams with a bit of desperation and some lesser named up and coming young players. Bogdanovic has one of the sweetest shots. DeRozan came up big in the second half with his deadly mid-range game.

                                          Spurs notches closer to 8th seed
