You don't shut down Lebron...at least not from scoring. What you have to do it try and shut down his distribution game. Try not to let him get his teammates involved. If it's just him, he can score 60 and the Cavs still won't win.
Have to agree.
He may end up becoming something, but it's hard for me to get excited about a college guy in a ball. He' might be knocking on the door for a utility role at the age of 24-25. Utility players aren't boner worthy.
A choker is someone who performs admirably during the regular season then f***s it all up when it counts. Gardiner's defensive play has always been a nightmare. He just did what he's always done... Just on a grander scale.
So disappointing. But going in I didn't like the Leafs chances against Boston. I wanted Tampa.
Oh well.
Let's see what changes are made in the offseason.
