Play started in the back court, otherwise it would have been over and back

Just terrible by Lebron and even worse shot by Melo.

Lebron has been terrible in the clutch this season

He's been incapable of creating a good look for himself or anyone else down the stretch all season. Terrible.

Obviously I’m not saying that we should expect Howard to play this way every night. I’m just saying imagine how much better they’d be if he did. Keep in mind how great LA was in 2020. Part of that had to do with how dominant Dwight was off the bench.

No disagreement there. I thought letting Dwight walk (for pennies) was one of their dumbest moves after winning the championship.

Meh. I kind of get why they did. Acquiring Gasol and getting the sixth man of the year to back him up in the off-season, they probably didn’t see the need for him.

The only disappointing part of the end was that the last two missed jumpers of the Lakers were not Westbrook bricks. Otherwise, it was super entertaining.

This. I will never understand why the onsite ref has to make the call. Having someone outside making the call would make it so much faster. It works very well in cricket, which is supposed to be a slower game, but has a much much faster replay system.

These Lakers look ready to call it a season

This LAkers team seems like the least clutch team I've seen. They don't know how to close games even if they have the lead in the 4th. I swear they would have at least 40 wins if only they didn't take poor shots, turn the ball over, miss free throws or botch defensive plays etc. Has to have been at least 20 games where they had solid chances to win if only they didn't make silly mistakes down the stretch.

It seems that way, yet they've been really good in overtime games at 6-1, which is easily the best in the league.

Who ya got?
