LAKERS NEED TO TAKE THIS GAME AS A GAME 7 IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT.
TAKE CONTROL OF THIS GAME FOR ALL FOUR QUARTERS.
SHOW THAT YOU ARE A CONTENDER FOR THE TITLE.

Will JJ ever going to unleash that secret weapon of his?
The Quintessential Ultimate High Luka/Lebron Pick and Roll play, he's been keeping in his pocket?

Maybe that was only a myth.

Can they just at least try a couple of times? Lebron providing that high Pick, defender switch, Lebron then rolls hard and attack the basket. If defense collapses, James pass to Rui or DFS/Dalton for open corner 3's.
If defender doesn't switch, Luka penetrates hard and attacks the basket.

Sounds simple, but the Lakers have been saying this sort of thing for ages:

"Kobe and Dwight pick and roll, theyre saving it for the playoffs. Will be a monster to defend"
"Lebron and AD pick and roll, they are saving it for the playoffs, will be tremendous"

never happened

Yes I am well aware, I vividly remember a couple of posters here assured me Vogel would surely unleash that deadly unstoppable Lebron/Davis screenroll in the playoffs but it didn’t happened. It turned out Davis is not a great roller and so did Howard, but I think James is, esp if the screen is from beyond 20 feet. It may not work but I still wish they try a couple of times.
These Luka hunting Gobert for isos is getting to be too redundant and not fully effective lately imo.

It's only 10:30am ish here In Aus

Lakers pre game, should I start drinking? haha I'm on holidays for another week.

Enjoy your holidays... hopefully it starts out with a bang with a Laker victory tonite

Nail biting

I know Luka wasn't feeling well, but maybe we need a whole training camp and a legit center. It seems like a tall task to best this team 3 straight times, or even 3 out of 4. We shall see.

GG all... was a great game over all, just fell apart In the end.

If Luka Is healthy next game we got this.

He gets plenty of sleep.

3pm ... I've had about 4 drinks been taking It easy need some more now the game is over

I do want to stop the drinking or cut down and even my sugar intake, put on a bourbon gut over the years, need some dedication.

What a worse time to be sick, could have had that stomach ailment before game 1 or 3 when they had 72 hours between games.
They stopped playing like Friday night 10:40 pm and now play again 12nn Sunday which is less than 38 hours of rest.
He didn't just vomit fluids which lead to dehydration and weakness, I would imagine he is also having headaches and nausea, probably some fever too and it's hard to recover from that in that short span.
What are the chances Lebron and Reaves hit 50% from 3 again?
Here's an outrageous idea, if Luka is not ready, pull him out, start Gabe then insert Dalton Knecht in there in the 2nd and 3rd quarter and see what happens.

must win here

crappy passing and over passing if anything

fouls vs physicality seems like the refs are letting the wolves hammer us consistently where lesser contact becomes fouls on us. the reeves 3rd foul call was bs

I hope Ant's ok even though he's been the one pushing the physicality, we want a fair matchup and no one to get hurt

full paul pierce b.s. here

Definitely not looking good. Guys are playing timid.

What happened at the end? Referees just trying to fabricate ways to give the game to minn
