I tried to get away from Lebron in the East, then he came to the West. - Paul Millsap

[LAmbruh]

Paul Millsap on his playoffs history with Lebron James:


I told him, ‘Man, I tried to get away from you in the East, then you came to the West.’ But finally, we’re at this juncture in the Western Conference Finals fighting to get to the championship game. He’s got several championships and I’m trying to get my first and I feel like this is my time to do that.

Millsap on having a personal goal of beating James in the conference finals :


I’d be lying I said I didn’t, I felt like we had really good teams and we always came up short and at the end of the day I’m just tired of coming up short in those situations, especially against him. Nothing personal, but you want to compete against the best and beat the best and I’m ready to make that next step.

Paul Millsap is 0-9 in his postseason career against Lebron James heading into Game 2 of the WCF. (https://theathletic.com/2075232/2020/09/18/nuggets-lakers-series-paul-millsap-against-old-foe-lebron-james/)

He played in the first two. Then the Hawks went down 2-0.

What happened in this game, where he played and Kyrie/Love didn't, and your boy J.R. smith had 9 points on 3-8 shooting?

In Atlanta too.

I suppose you're going to say that Iman Shumpert bailed LeBron out because he had 16 points?

Great defensive game & Lebron's teammates made a bunch of shots, hence the 11 assists. Korver also got injured in this game. Shump did lead the team with a +25 to Lebron's +18. TT, JJ & JR had the best DRTGs on the team as well.

But I thought that J.R. was the one who bailed LeBron out? You're just going to shuffle your trolling from one pre-and-post playing with LeBron career loser to another pre-and-post playing with LeBron career loser?

And Korver's injury after 32 minutes played really had an effect on a game where the Cavs led by 20 and ended up putting their bench of an already depleted crap roster to finish the game.

I mean we all knew this. Pandemic P tried it too and then bailed hard when he realized beating the Nuggets meant facing Lebron again.

In one season he's already scalped Lillard, Westbrook and Harden. About to mount Jokic and Murray on his wall too. Ain't nobody safe from this man
