Between that and the obvious missed travel/dragged pivot foot, do NBA refs actually know the rulebook or is this actually WWE where they get to decide whatever the hell they want?

I've accepted that the NBA is very close to WWE fake sadly

National Basketball Entertainment League. Entertainment value first, real sport with actual rules a distant second.

No way I am buying league pass for this season to watch the Lakers. I was waking up at night for almost every Luka game since his rookie season. I am too old for this.

Kuminga hitting 4-6 from 3 is the flukiest thing you'll see all season. He is not that type of shooter.

Pelinka overrates him big time. Wasn't prepared to trade Reeves for Dejounte Murray (which in hindsight, probably was a blessing for the Lakers)

Rob still doesn't understand that starter level wing players need to play two ways. Something Austin either is too lazy or incapable of doing.

Reaves should be Dollar General Ginobili. If he was your 6th man you are cooking with gas. The guy can play, but he can't play starter level defense, especially with this roster.

He's at least a Walmart Ginobili.

Think that was Steph's first points of the 2nd half

Because 2 way wings are impossible to find, hence why we are seeing more 1 way players (offense or defense), tweeners, and combo guards playing full time SF.

Reaves garbage time bucket is still GOAT level

Very similar to Bradley Beal

Curry from Temecula. Still a menace.

Night night Steph Curry clutch

Another classic Curry dagger. Good games tonight. Night night.

Luka is going to have to do a carry job once again. It's kind of embarrassing that the Los Angeles Lakers of all franchises can't put together a complete roster.
