Other players that could defend Lebron.

1-    Montrezl Harrell
2-    Marcus Morris Sr.

I think we can add them to the players which I previously mentioned, they would surely give Lebron a hard time.
Oh yeah! There was the Brother Morris too.  Grin
I forgot about him.
But I will reserve Harrell for Davis, Mcgee, and Howard. Let him stay below the rim. He is one hell of a good defender down there.
If summarized, Clippers is one of the teams out there which have a larger percentage to win against the Lakers if ever they will face round 2 of the playoffs or the Finals.
 

I'm not that excited with their matchup for the playoffs or Finals but I'm more excited to the face-off match on the resume of the game this 31st of July.
Western Conference Finals is too early to tell but I think these two teams has the momentum to get there.

Let's be honest, if Lakers and Clippers ever face each other, Kawhi will defend Lebron, PG will defend Lebron, those are more than enough defensive players that could defend him and not need anyone else. If you put anyone else on him, dude will just beast on them easily without a doubt. That is why I think Clippers and Lakers will be difficult, because you can defend Lebron but there is still AD left to defend, that dude will destroy inside because Clippers is not a very well big man team. That is why I think the best thing to do for Clippers is to focus on defending the wings and guards and just let the inside be inside while focusing on scoring from outside themselves. If they can shoot well, they could definitely win, it is depending on a bit perimeter defense by Lakers as well.

Life inside the bubble with NBA players: Golf, fishing and shotgunning beers

And dont forget the live streamers, and gamers. Like Joel Embed who brought his whole gaming set up inside the Orlando bubble. Also, Meyer Leonard's gaming set up was insane.
LeBron, AD, and Quinn Cook was also spotted playing in NBA 2k20 playpark in an Orlando bubble setup.

~snip~.

Both teams are capable to win over another, Clippers added fire powers with Kawhi and George who can outplay their opponents.

~snip~.

That's gonna be a challenge for lebron since clippers have a combinations of offense and defense who can compete with the
lakers squad.

There are actually more than 2 good teams in the West that are worthy to be in the NBA finals. The Western Conference isn't only about the Lakers or the Clippers.
Nuggets, Jazz, Thunder,Rockets, and Mavs are all showing a good game so far this season, and these teams are all competitive. Infact, I will be expecting a 1st round playoff upset in both conference due to a lot of factor including the familiarity of the court and home crowd's absence.

One must deepen their basketball analysis in this current NBA setup, to come up with a higher percentage of winning.

LA Clippers has a chance to beat the LA Lakers because Kawhi Lenard is now on their team, and Paul George and Patrick Beverly is also making their team to stand up with other teams.

Both teams are capable to win over another, Clippers added fire powers with Kawhi and George who can outplay their opponents.
Both players are at the MVP level, they can both give offense to the team but don't forget we also have Lebron and Davis, and..... JR SMITH. lol...
Lebron could be defended based on the post above but for sure Davis would dominate in the inside.
Yes Davis is one strong and good player inside that is hard to defend due to its height and size. This is a good combination on lakers where three pointers could shoot outside and rebound goes to big man to which not only davis could be the big guys in their team like howard. This is the play usually lakers would want to in time of Kobe being team up with Oneal. Their tandem from outside and  inside is really that good. This is why Kobe always go for shooting or scoring because there is one big guy always after the ball if it will going to miss. This is also where Kobe confidently and does not hesitate to shoot. For now Lebro has this kind of aid and lakers has higher chance to win the championship.

I'm also concern on who will guard Davis or even neutralize him as him being a big man, he is very efficient with some great shooting and defensive skills.
Plus, Lakers has a lot of bigs like Howard (whom confirmed will play) and McGee, so their strength should be the inside.

JR SMITH. lol...
Don't joke on this man, he will redeem himself this season and he will be the HERO of the Lakers.  Smiley

But Lakers and Clippers could also have a good match because lakers also have a good line up since Anthony Davis and Lebron James doing a great job helping their team out, even The King is having a trouble making offenses because of Beverly's good defenses.

Clippers has a lot of players who can defend Lebron, if Beverly would not be effective then we have Leonard who can surely match Lebron James as we have already seen in the past the way he guard Lebron when the spurs beat the Heat and Leonard was named as the Finals MVP.

Also, let's not forget that we also have Paul George, or who else.... I'm sure there's a lot of the Pacers roster who are available and will be honored to do such challenging task.
It's not just that.
They can save their breaths by switching which will defend Lebron.
Exhaustion will not be an issue since a lot of them are defensive guys.
Hell yeah! Even PG can do it.

Oh, another issue. I'm not really updated with these issues that's coming out. But this could be big deal although not going to affect the entire league.

And perhaps more will come out.
The only sad part is Woj being suspended.
But as of now, we have some good news. Players are also voicing out to #FreeWoj.  Grin

There is more to it.
We just lose one of the best reporter in ESPN for NBA.
https://sports.yahoo.com/esp-ns-adrian-wojnarowski-apologizes-for-sending-profane-email-to-missouri-senator-184117968.html
He did something wrong. I don't know what happened to him. Is he drunk or something?
It's difficult when you are one of the popular guys and says something a normal person would only do.
I can say the same but it won't mean anything. But if you are Woj then its a big deal.

It's profit against principles.
Patriotism against money.
Houston Rockets will take a big hit in this collision.

Oh, another issue. I'm not really updated with these issues that's coming out. But this could be big deal although not going to affect the entire league.

This should be tackled and be answered as precise as how the commissioners will handle this issues, players
freedom to express will surely influenced the fans.
And that's what they're looking at and we will see how they will answer the letter. I haven't seen if there's an update or if there will be, I will post it again here.

Life inside the bubble with NBA players: Golf, fishing and shotgunning beers

Welcome to life inside the NBA bubble-like environment — an AAU-style basketball camp for millionaires. The best place to watch is on social media where players are giving behind-the-scenes access to what's happening.

Thinking of what team to bet on?

I think we have the Clippers here that might beat the other LA team.

I was already thinking of Beverly's possible impressive performance in the coming playoffs, he is very healthy now and can be a good defender to star of any team, he can even defend Lebron James very well by just causing distraction of the King's focus.

BETTING ON THIS.



Image broken.  Grin I just use the link provided.
Edit: Oh! its fixed, thanks.

Yeah, that is how Beverley think and some players don't understand that.
He guards everyone at his highest level. They should be proud if someone is still doing that.
That means the NBA is still not soft.  Grin

Do you think Doc will let him defend Lebron? It will be a difficult task but I bet it will also be so much joy  for Beverley.  Grin
Can't wait to see that.

These two teams are the best teams in the West, if they will meet in the WCF, then for sure it will be an exciting match up, but I would surely put my money with the Clippers as I trust Leonard to be a more consistent, more clutch player than Lebron, sorry not a hater, I just think Leonard excel over Lebron during playoff times.

Speaking of Doc.
He has something to say to the Senator regarding the Black issues.
https://sports.yahoo.com/doc-rivers-challenges-sen-josh-140045508.html
Quote
“I mean, we have a senator that Tweets at Woj yesterday just because he was talking about what we were going to put on the back of our jersey,” Rivers said from the NBA Orlando restart on a conference call with reporters. “And they always try to turn it into the military or the police. There’s no league that does more for the military than the NBA.

“But how that about that Senator? I’ll make a challenge: We will do things for the troops as long as he acknowledges Black Lives Matter. I think that would be really cool for him to do.

“You know, it’s funny, whenever we talk about justice, people try to change the message. Colin Kaepernick kneels, it had nothing to do with the troops. It had to do with social injustice, and everyone tried to change the narrative. How about staying on what we are talking about and dealing with that, instead of trying to trick us or change or trick your constituents? How about being real?

“I guarantee you, we’ve done more for the military than probably that Senator. And I guarantee you this: We also are going to do things for Black Lives Matter. How about him? Maybe he should join into that.”

It's longer but proper unlike what Woj did with a short curse.  Grin
I agree with Doc here.

Two weeks but it also emphasize in the article that they need more time to get back in shape because two weeks of resting only is not good for a player to just come back after that period, training back is the first step and then they can play and compete well.

Yeah! they will need some days to get back in shape and that would be good before they restart the season they will have some kind of practice game like they used to do on pre-season games. This will be enough for them to get back on track and play like they used to. I really miss seeing some unexpected dunks again. I'm counting the days for their next come back and will gonna watch it with my friends.

Players are expected to run and do the drills before actually compete, they'll needed it the most since the virus really prevent them from playing, good conditioning while playing against each other, the coaches and conditioning personnels needs to adjust as the league is really expecting to reopen.

They have been preparing it very well, so I think when the season's re-open, it's expected that they have already adjusted or if not they can easily adjust. This is the new normal that everyone should adopt, but it's better to see this than not seeing the NBA at all.


Fans will love to see those players who are going to compete to reserve their slots from the second rounds, it's exciting to see who are going to advance and which teams will lose the slot unexpectedly.

This is also interesting but the playoffs is more interesting.
Here, when season, resume, we will know who are going to qualify for the playoffs but the tight competition will be in the West, so, it's where the we will see more excitement, while in the East, Wizards might already fail as they have a bad standing and Beal will also not play.

Bradley Beal will not participate in Orlando restart

ESPN hired Woj for a ton of money, sure he made a mistake but let's be honest the Fuck you email was justified in my book, dude was expecting a league full of Black people who will probably wear stuff like "black live matters" and "I can't breath" messages on their shirts for each game to actually be supportive of "military" (because that is the secret word in USA, when you kneel you disrespect soldiers who lost their lives somehow instead of protesting police brutality, that is an easy way out for republican whites) and cops.

I am sorry but if as a senator you are expecting NBA players and ESPN to actually support police in this matter and not the black people who are suffering from it, you have to be insane, not just figuratively, but you have to be certifiably insane to expect something like that.
