The kid has tools, whether he's going to use them well is up for debate

I agree but no more tools than he had last week when no one outside Washington cared about him. Time will tell. I think it’s a good. I’ve for the lakers but the media is annoying for those of us that aren’t laker fans.

None of this is a shocker. This is the Clippers NBA finals.

Not sure if Clippers lack of boxing out, making Gabriel look like Reggie Evans or the Lakers lack of closing out, making the Clippers look like prime Peja

And :lol: by Bev with his flop, but guarantee if Mann fouled LeBron how Russ fouled him, it'd have been a flag 1.

With the amount of open looks they've been getting, and how well they've been shooting recently, I wouldn't doubt it


They maybe had 2 or 3 open threes tonight. The rest was all pretty well contested. Clippers just hot shooting right now.

They missed two I counted, Norm also hit a open one, both of Reggie's, Mook had one and now Mann's.

Maybe we have different definitions of open

Because Denver actually closes out shooters, moves the rock and takes advantage of second chance opportunities.
