In a game of young dumb guys doing young dumb sh#% somehow one of the oldest dudes out there (CJ) was the dumbest

For either of these teams this kind of play won't fly in round 2. Some serious lessons need to be learned.

Finals score. 94-92. OKC wins.

I said it in both Laker games and I’ll say it again McCollum isn’t clutch. I’ve seen the dude disappear far too much in big moments to put the ball in his hands.

The Pelicans don't have a PG. That's their biggest problem.

OKC is food. I know the Lakers are sick not to be playing them 1st round

They've needed to trade him for a real PG for a while now. That's the Pelicans next step, along with keeping Zions ass healthy

OKC just warming up.

The "no playoff experience" means very little in a few games. As they will all have some, the more the further they get.

You have it backwards. It's the young guys who think the rules don't influence how today's players score easily. As you can see, if defense is allowed, it's really hard to score. I mean Giddey was basically unplayable.
