Rui has been elite on defense.

Lebron has so much rest he better cook in the 4th.

Ant needs to understand he isn't gonna get a whistle if he makes the layup. Just focus on getting back.

Just like I called it

Let ANT cook. They have no one else

ANT is just so explosive man it's ridiculous.

Sometimes I wonder how much worse would JJ be if he suited up to just shoot a damn 3 pointer, he probably could still do it.

This is a strategy employed by Lebron James teams before. That’s why he usually loses game 1’s all the time then ends up winning the whole series. Lebron loves that underdog narrative from the media to hide the fact he has stacked teams.

I don't want it to be left unsaid how awful of a take this is

They should just let Reaves shoot instead of playing him close since he can’t hit from outside lol

Wtf is Reid complaining about? Reaves got his ass.

I'm not used to Lebron playing pedestrian minutes in the playoffs

You would call to review too when they just let you get away with it before

That should not have been overturned. They got lucky.

Im confused dude is everything we do on defense a foul? I mean we didn't' even see a replay of anything and it's already a foregone conclusion that it was a foul?

RRR3 · Post #714 » by **RRR3** » Wed Apr 23, 2025 4:04 am

This is like a 25 point game minimum if Reaves could hit a jumpshot

Lakers should be DOMINATING this game if they hit wide open 3’s

Wasn’t Jaden McDaniels one of the best 3 and D guys? His offense sucks now

durden_tyler · Post #718 » by **durden_tyler** » Wed Apr 23, 2025 4:05 am

Lakers will end up with a 20+ blowout win but no big statement made. Wolves know they can beat them and i predict the Wolves to take the next two. Luka is special but this Lakers teams is still average.

He’s been the best defender on Ant tonight.

Nothing from Donte, Naz and Nickell. They're three possessions away from making this a ball game, but their bench has done nada.

Who wins?
