    Lakers have 6 points through the first 6 minutes of the 2nd quarter. Let's see how this closes out.

    Absolutely. Defend Bron 1-on-1 on the perimeter every possession. Only bring help if he gets in close.

    Extend the series Adam, you know you want to. More money for both teams.

    Turns out r****di Eason looks like more of a lockdown defender on the 41 year old b**** than "Best Defender on the Planet"

    So far looks like plan is to keep Bari close to the rim for rim protection / weak side …which can work with Tari in the game guarding James

    Another case of Lebron missing a shot and getting a call. That looked like great defense.
