Get real...he stunk for 3 quarters. AD saved the day. Some game winner, he missed first shot so bad it came right back to him like a boomerang.
James shooting 38% versus Clippers this season no surprise. Leonard, George and Beverly are in his head.
I never get tired of watching AD play, he can ball. Between him and the bench it was just enough to win.
Brick? He went 6-19 from the floor, led everyone in T/O's with 5 and the Lakers -4 when he was on the floor......
Hopefully AD can carry this non-playoff team of last year to a run of some sort.
Does the #1 seed matter on a neutral court?
Brick just awful shooting and didn't even get to the line. 2-2 FT while AD was 16-17.I never get tired of watching AD play, he can ball. Between him and the bench it was just enough to win.

Of course but I will say Caldwell Pope and Danny Green will cost them.
I will say Rockets will give Lakers all they can handle and some.
That was about as weak a Clippers team as you will see and every time they got a challenge they responded. I really don't see how they don't win the West and probably the title unless they have more dumb shit like Lou going to the club for wings.
Colin Cowherd: “The Lakers have a pattern. They get carried by Anthony Davis early and then he disappears and LeBron carries them late. That was good enough last night. Anthony Davis for the season shoots 53% from the field in the first 3 quarters, but he shoots 40% in the fourth and just dries up. Last night he had 32 in the first three quarters. You know what he had in the fourth? NOTHING… They got to figure out this Anthony Davis thing because for years everybody said he’s kind of soft. THIS is what people complained about. Where is he? Where is the dog? Playoffs is about ‘dog’. It’s about tough guy veteran players like Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade, Kahwi, and LeBron getting in your face. A lot of guys are talented, they just don’t have DOG in them. In four fourth quarters versus the Clippers, Anthony Davis has had 0, 4, 4, and 2 points. What the hell?? That is a problem and why I don’t consider them a championship team
Herd is a hack but I don't disagree here.....
I still don't like Lebron at pg.....it limits his options. He has more angles to drive to the hoop on the wing, and
more give and go options diving to the baseline. At the top they are easily cutting the angles to the hoop by
collapsing like they did for the Greek Freak during last years playoffs. It was obvious last night.
Brick just awful shooting and didn't even get to the line. 2-2 FT while AD was 16-17.
For me, Kuzma is critical to come off the bench and he can thrive in that role. When LBJ and AD are on the floor, no point in adding Kuz at the start of the 1st and 3rd q's. When first subs happen into each half and either LBJ or AD sits, he can compliment the big stud perfectly. I think it would be a mistake for them to add him to the starting mix.
What choice do they have? No Rondo, KCG is pretty much worthless, Caruso probably isn't defensively good enough to be a starter, etc. Feels like if the Lakers want to maximize what they get out of this year's team they better call Phil and get a quick installation of the Triangle.
Next time Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell will be in the line up vs Lakers...
Nobody is going to remember the subpar individual boxscore given the outcome. And given his night was far from vintage, he still finished with 16 plus 11 boards and 7 dimes. Hit the clutch shot when it counted most, and that's been his trademark all career en route to LA's 50th triumph.
Not showing in the boxscore as well was the defensive lockdown of Paul George and Kawhi to seal the win as well on the final possession.
Clippers will definitely win...
LBJ looked good on defense... his offense was terrible .. he was afraid to drive or maybe could not.. His free throws were 2-7... vogel was afraid to bench him... he has a koolaid IV
sad
Uhmmm. try watching the games. he drove on the last play of the game for his game winning put back.
look at boxscore 6-19 & 2-7
sad
