Gobert guarding Luka is like 4 yr old guarding me. Honestly, the 4 yr old may have better chance at defending me.

Lebron got Hayes that foul. Play some defense, old man.

Him/Reaves both felt for pump fake, but Hayes lucily got block :lol:


That one im fine with. But who the **** jumps on a gobert pump fake?


I've always hated It seeing It vs Jokic and other centers etc, I don't give a damn If they can shoot 3's, no way I'm jumping up vs a 7footer on a 3 point line, let em shoot. But I'd be peed If I see them pump fake and then driving to the lane for layup and possible foul. :banghead:

Offensive gameplan is pretty clear. Get to the ball to Luka and Lebron when they have Gobert and Conley switched on them.
