Kevin Garnett says Celtics 'didn't give a f---' about facing LeBron in 2012, 'broke' him in 2010

Kevin Garnett says that trouble winning against the Celtics is why LeBron James left the Cavaliers.

Simmons: You're trying to get into his head. You feel like you can break LeBron at this point [in the 2012 playoffs].
Garnett: We broke LeBron.
Simmons: In Game 5.
Garnett: So get your a-- out of here with that. You understand how he got to Cleveland. How he got to Miami, Bill? You remember that?
Simmons: Oh that's true. You broke him in 2010. Fair enough.

Im not sure they broke Lebron.

AD playing

 

[hamG]

Utah must really be struggling. We are not exactly a quality basketball team.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Giannis taking over while guarding AD and Lebron.

He's going to look so good playing with Doncic after 2021.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Bucks just happy to wall off the paint. Lebron not wiling to attack against Giannis and Lopez.

 

[hamG]

Jee there was some bad players taken before Giannis in the 2013 draft. I wonder how many teams looked at him but decided to take a safe college pick instead.

Dallas was going to take him. But Cuban overruled the GM to trade down to open up salary to make a run at Dwight Howard.

The story goes that Nelson (Mavs GM) swore his reputation to Giannis being a stud. Cuban wanted some vets to stick next to Dirk. Nelson next swore by Doncic in 2018 and Cuban was willing to trade up and picks to support Nelson.

Game over in Waukee.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Everyone needs Danny Green on their team.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Giannis is a throwback. AD scored on him and he came right back at next play down. Even called off a screen that would have gotten him a small on the switch.

 

[DT_35]

AD and LeBron are the sooky brothers lol. Then you have DMC and Howard on the bench

 

[DT_35]

Lakers need to get someone like Jrue

When you know you the Alpha

 

[Toffee Lion]

Well this game is going as expected.

I expect the Lakers to come back though.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

The Lakers as downhill skiers/flat court bullies is finally being exposed. Had by far the easiest/soft schedule in the Association so far, and they are finally being shown up for the pretenders that they are

Won't get past the 2nd round of the Playoffs, take that to the bank !

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Ok, wrap it up. The league is done.

 

[Memphis]

Ok, wrap it up. The league is done.

Forget about the clippers?

 

[Toffee Lion]

Forget about the clippers?

The team we beat by 40 with Kawhi & George?
