Let’s go ahead and sweep the season series for both LA teams. No AD for the Lakers, no Booker for the struggling Suns on Friday.

We’ve lost too many games we had no business losing this year, we have to take advantage of these opportunities.

Make sure Bam gets his 18+ shots and everything else will fall in place.

I think if we contain the bad takes we are in pretty good shape with this team coming up.

The bench is waking up a little. Playing like pros.

Finally, be careful of Bran.

Should be an easy win. Butler and co. still have the 2020 Finals lost bitter taste in their mouths.

I wonder how much of a lead we'll build in the 1st half before blowing it in the 3rd quarter this time...

Actually injured his finger a month-and-a-half ago but played through it.

LeBron and AD both out tonight, lock in and take care of business. I want to see us jump out to a first quarter double digit lead and I want our first blowout win of the season where our main guys can rest in the 4th.

Tempted to rest Jimmy

Herro and Bam gonna continue their roll tonight.

Jimmy might get the night off. He looked slow af last game. Knee clearly hampering him.

Absolutely balling. Plus hitting game winners.

Love those %’s.

There's no such thing as trap game against Lakers. They're crap if Lebron is out. Should be an easy W. This is a game to rest Butler if he needs it.

I know the Lakers cupboard is pretty bare without Lebron and AD, but there's also pretty much been no such thing as an easy W with this Heat team so far as well unfortunately so we'll see.

The 2 teams directly in front of us locked in OT right now with Indy and Philly. Someone's gotta lose which is good news, we gotta capitalize with a win no matter what.

It's going to be Westbrook central for LA. He will dominate the ball and possession.

Hopefully Lowry can stay in front of him somewhat.

I don’t know if you guys are watching but the bucks just had a melt down of epic proportions against the raps. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life lol
