Ant needs to drive towards the shadow guy and pass to the guy the shadow is guarding. Make the shadow commit which should lead to open shots. At least do that once a while

LeBron with a double double working on a triple double.

Who is the shadow guy. I've never heard of this?

Would be great if Naz Reid showed up.

What is with these defensive rotations

I think we need a timeout

It's just the help defense. I've never heard of anyone calling it a "shadow" either.

I hate our **** head coach smh, deer in headlights on the sideline.

Good for Rudy. Happy he didn't back down from LeBron lowering his shoulder.

As always refs siding with the fakers.

Basketball 101 you lower your lower body to box out.

Taking Jaden McDaniels out halfway through the 3rd quarter killed our run and destroyed our defense.
You don't have to sit a guy with 3 fouls in the 3rd quarter. memo to Chris Finch.

I’m not sure we need Naz or NAW back next year.

Gobert is a freaking child.
Him getting ejected would help us out though with as bad as he has been.

If they lose this game they lost it in the middle of this quarter by playing the defensive scheme Luka decimated last year in the West finals. Instead of making him beat you by dribbling and attacking and exhausting himself the whole game you give him ton of rest and 4-on-3 basketball

Lakers have another defender behind Ant's defender, playing almost like a free safety, basically cheat over from his defender.

That's not a normal initiation to a box out. Lebron is absolutely ramming his shoulder into Gobert. Not that it excuses what Gobert did, though.

Well 2-2
