Might as well put him out there, we are a better team when he is on the court and he will benefit by it. We don't even have a competent team otherwise. More of the same will get more...
I'd love to see it. Leonard actually guarded Gasol better than RoLo, probably because of his footspeed and constant hands up defense.
Leonard is Top 5 in FG% for every range of distances, except for the dreaded 15-19' (and excluding the 25'+ range because nobody should take those, except Lillard with .4 seconds on the clock)! http://stats.nba.com/league/player/...r=1&TeamID=1610612757&CF=TEAM_ABBREVIATION*E*
I can't wait till Leonard finally puts it all together and, Hopefully, develops a mean streak. Once he figures out how to slip in "Zelmo Beaty" elbows, we got a player!
Awesome!!! I wish I was still there. I'm going to Ann Arbor, MI for an afternoon retirement party. Then I will go to my hotel in Detroit and watch the game from there. If it comes down to it, I am planning on going to Games 6 & 7.
As much as I completely agree with this, Lillard is held to a much higher responsibility than Leonard. So obviously more accountability is placed on Lillard's camp, just like there is almost the same amount on Aldridge, if not more. Leadership and stardom will always have you take the lumps on the team. If the team fails, and your performance is lackluster, then he will be called out.
