Default Lebron will defend garnett in game 4

As most you heard lebron will guard garnett.In game 3 even though everyone thought lebron couldnt guard him.He made only two shots and had 3 turnovers.His last bucket was when the game was over.So actually he did a much better jump than others.Because probably he is taller than and stronger than every center/pf available.

Heat outscored boston with james at 5.
Do you think he is gonna have be able to slow down garnett

Other than Bosh, he's their only hope at slowing down KG.

Well, obviously he's going to have to slow KG down. It's a matter of if he can. He'll make him work for his shots but there's no way he's shutting KG down with that high release. LeBron is athletic, but he's not going to be skying for every KG jump shot. He'll take the road most traveled, get lackadaisical and fall asleep on the defensive end, which KG will exploit.

LeBron better hope KG doesn't establish a rhythm early to gain some confidence, or else I see another 20/10 game coming.

LeBron roams too much, KG will light him up with open jumpers all day

When was the last time you saw lebron getting lackadaisical on defense.
However their best option at this point is lebron.Actually how annoying is that he is the best option to defend both pierce and rondo.

If bosh doesnt comes back healthy they are gonna be in a lot of trouble

Are you sure you watch lebron on the defensive end.

He roams around when he has a guy like MWP.

Did you see how he shut down gasol earlier this year.Please dont get me wrong,i dont think he can shut down KG but heat best option right now is lebron

So when pierce and kg are on the floor at the same time battier will be on pierce a lot of the time? I'm happy with that. Oierce is due for a 30 point game.

...all the time? Just because he was getting touted for DPOY considerations doesn't mean he plays great defense for 48 minutes.

KG was +28 in Game 3

Garnett was resting when Heat made a run with James at 5! I don't think James at 5 guarding KG will work for the Heat

I think he can do a decent job if he stops fronting KG and just pushes his ass out the deep post before the ball arrives.

The game is officiated. There will be no pushing.

Let me rephase, Lebron needs to deny him deep post position.

People these days.

Push from Lebron = foul on KG

I am also interested to see if the refs call KG on his offensive fouling he's been doing to Lebron all series long.

It's been horrible, KG has been allowed to shove Lebron many many times.
