nice! if you wanna send me a private message we can set up an amount to place on it.

Would love to see how this goes down. Unfortunately I dont think he has the wherewithal to actually go through w what he proclaimed earlier.

Haha - why not - PM and I’ll go through with it - just gotta get that cash from my camines account

Tried to send you a PM but I got a prompt that you may not accept PM's. Not really sure how that works. Do you wanna try to send me a PM instead?

Even all the post game pods said he was too preoccupied with trying to highlight show Gobert. He took himself and the Lakers out of rhythm. This has nothing to do with close
B/c he was bricking up a storm when it MIN got it under double digits.

Actually, no, not all.

Watch on YouTube

This guy's reputed to hate LeBron, but even he concedes that Luka and Reaves targeting Gobert should continue and even increase in frequency. 1.11 points per possession so far.

Actually, yes.

Simmons & Lowe

But sure you find a guy on YouTube who says otherwise so I was wrong for saying all

Your way of mocking me by responding in the same way I responded to you, “actually, yes”, is quite childish. I expect more of a mod.

As for your disagreeing, we’ll agree to disagree. I don’t really respect what guys like Bill Simmons have to say, and I think you’ll find a lot will agree.

Anyway. I’m not responding beyond this.

Don't ask me why I clicked on the "Preview" tab over on ESPN but oh my god. Clearly just AI slop. They don't even mentioned the first two games of the series. It just goes over some regular season stats and facts that don't matter.

Stats say Luka is the greatest road playoff player ever graced the NBA

Odds for Game 3:

Lakers +3.0 vs Wolves

Hmmm, exactly as predicted (for comparison, the Wolves are +5.5 this series in LA)

Thoughts?

I’m flying from London today go to games 3 and 4, can’t f’kin wait!

Think game 3 will be a law of averages game.

Edwards hasn’t had a statement game yet. Gobert bounce back at home. Lakers offense outside of Luka has been meh.

I do think Ant will be better tonight; at the same time, I'm hoping Reaves will play his best game of the series and I'm hoping LeBron does too; the latter typically gets better as a series goes along, but we'll see.

Lakers should play Luka for 48 minutes. His on/off is +51.8.

Lakers will need a lot better LeBron and AR tonight and their role players will need to hit some open shots, to have chance for a win. AR's 3-pointers have a big room for improvement.

Yes, Lakers should just have Luka play as two players and put 4 on the floor. That will open up a lot more space for Luka to operate. Gobert isn't an offensive threat so no need to guard him.
