He is a good clutch FT shooter
Westbrook fans: He is a reliable free thrower in key moments.

Russbe like.
Lakers fans: Westbrook is like this. (Note: The picture shows the 2010 NBA Finals, the Lakers and Celtics grabbed seven battles, Lakers player Vuljasic executed the key two penalties)

Vogel made each player on the team make25 free throws before leaving practice a few days ago. Maybe that helped
Fans: A few days ago, Vogel let each player score 25 goals before leaving training. This may have worked.

LeBron was awesome but I gotta say onthe run to win the game Westbrook was awesome. Attacking to create space forcuts, getting switched onto Gobert to draw him out. Cutting well and hittingthe cutter. He looked great in the 4th.
Big Law Fan: LBJ is great, but I have to say that mrs. Westbrook was fantastic in this game! The offensive end created opportunities, changed defenses to Gobert, and hit a layup. The fourth verse of Wei Shao is gone.
This is how the Lakers need him to play
Fan: This is the game that the Lakers want Westbrook to play.

Can't lose in front of Aaron Donaldtonight
Lakers fans: You can't lose in front of Aaron Donald. (Donald is the Lakers' NFL team Rams defensive superstar, who helped the Rams win the second Super Bowl in team history with his outstanding performance a few days ago.)

What if Aaron Donald attended all ofthe games from now on
Warriors fans: What about making Donald come every game?

What if Aaron Donald replaces AD as AD
Fans: What about trading AD (Aaron Donald) for AD (Anthony Davis)?

He's only 6'1", he's gonna guardCurry.
Spurs fans: He's only 185, he's got to defend Curry.

LEBRON CARRYING A SQUAD LIKE ITS 2007

Whoever said Bron not clutch is a liar
FAN: The crooks will tell you - LBJ is not the key sir.
WarriorsWhenItsHalfPastFive·2 hr. ago
he's one of the most clutch players ofall time. Anyone arguing otherwise at this point is a fool.
Warriors fans: He's always been Mr. Key, and whoever discusses this again is a fool X.

But that was FT. It wasn't a buzzerbeater.
You know he ain't making 3 FT in a row.
His season average FT% has never gone above80 ever.
Fans: But that's a free throw, not a dead end. You know, LBJ can't score three goals at once. He never hit more than 80 percent of his free throws this season.

Call me crazy but even at the age of 37I would still pick LeBron to lead my team in a playoff series over any otherplayer in the league.
Celtics fans: I may be "Shi Lezhi", if I were to choose a person in the league to lead my team in the playoffs now, I would still choose lbJ, 37 years old.

Picking an efficient 29/8/7 playerdoesn't seem crazy to me
Fans: Choosing an efficient player of 29+8+7 is not "Shi Lezhi" for me.

I have no idea what Donovan Mitchellwas thinking. Lakers started doubling him late, and he kept trying to force it. He's got vision and is a good passer. One wonders why he kept not relying onthe rest of his team.
Fans: I don't know what Mitchell was thinking in his head, the Lakers double bag clamped him, he was like a "stunned youth" rushing forward. He has a passing vision, and I have a question – why doesn't he trust his teammates?
JazzUrMoMisDumber·4 hr. ago
His team was ass. Conley Gobert andRoyce couldn’t do anything. Still is dumb at times
Jazz fans: His team is a piece of. Gobert and Reus-O'Neill couldn't do anything, and sometimes there was a bit of a tiger.

Jazz are the most obvious pretendersI’ve ever seen
Kobe Bryant fans: The Jazz are the most obvious pseudo-strong team I've ever seen.
No shit. I hate this team
Jazz fans: Gan! I hate this team.
We’re making the playoffs and not doinganything. No trades helped us, no coaching change nothing. Doing the same shitover and over again and expecting a different result.
Jazz fans: It's about to be the playoffs, and we didn't do anything. No deals, nothing has changed for the coach. Do silly things over and over again, and then expect different results.
