2720666, The way L.A. has approached game 1s thus far is fascinating
Posted by Vex_id, Fri Sep-18-20 07:44 PM
Dropped both game 1s (and LeBron has actually dropped quite a few Game 1s in recent years - but has then gone on to win the series).

It reminds me of how Floyd Mayweather approached big prize fights. He would often use the first round to feel out his opponent, study, and would even concede the first round to the opponent as he felt out the rhythm, spacing & timing. Then, he'd adjust on the fly and absolutely dominate the middle and late rounds, completely solving the puzzle.

Will be interesting to see if this trend continues tonight for the Lakers and LeBron - or if they get off to a good start for the first time during this playoff run.
