They trying to lock you down defensively.

Hey, and I'm with you.

If AR can't give a better effort than that, now we know basketball is a rhythm and time and game, fellas.

And he has been out for an extended period of time, at least a month.

So when he first came back, he may have been playing off adrenaline, but it takes a while, bro, for you to gain that rhythm back.

But I think that was probably the biggest difference.

Like you say, I don't know if it would have helped.

And I do think Bron can play like this the whole series.

I think he can be efficient like this.

I don't know if it was just me, but the game seemed real easy for him tonight.

Well, look, Lou Dortz, I mean, Lou Dortz is a tremendous defender.

But at 6'3", 6'4", he's not going to cause LeBron any problems.

LeBron is going to be able to get down on the block and be able to get whatever shot he wants.

You know, he got off to that great start.

I think he had 10 points in the first quarter.

Excuse me, got another six in the second.

Then he was relatively quiet in the third quarter and hit a couple of shots in the fourth.

But that's not enough.

Like I said, I thought DA was playing really well, but he got in foul trouble.

So because I think he's a better offensive player than Jackson Hayes.
