Also, the midrange always becomes important in the playoffs.

Lakers are done. LeBron has set them up nicely to get a favourable whistle in Game 3 but it won't matter.

Lebron crying about officiating disparity is beyond the pale. He has such a debt to pay to society in this regard that it can never be fully paid now, but we will take all the schadenfreude we can get. lol Time to retire whiner. The game has moved beyond your orbit.

Imagine this drama queen whiner, complaining about calls when he gets more than anyone. And then to comment on the other game he wasn't even in. Can't wait till he gets eliminated again.

I'm expecting Lakers to hold fort at home, theyve been playing well!
I also agree though that LEbron of all people griping about the refs is hilarious

I think someone on the GB posted that the Lakers FT disparity over their opponents this year was historic.

Oh boy....

The Philadelphia 76ers trail the New York Knicks 0-2 in their first round series after losing two close games at Madison Square Garden, but Joel Embiid remains optimistic his team can win four out of the next five games.

"We're good," Embiid said. "We're going to win this series.

"We are going to win this. We know what we got to fix. We did a better job today, so we are going to fix it.

"We are the better team. We are going to keep fighting."

Is this where he goes down with an injury in Game 3 or 4, to create the excuse for the loss now?

Not surprising. He's a hell of a player. A better version of peak Lowry.
