Just saw the end of the Dallas game.

How inept of a coach do you need to be to run literally the exact same ATO play a second after it was blown up by the opposing team?

The worst player on the Lakers is Beverley.

How can any coach start and play this scrub?

This is a travesty that the lakers are hesitant to trade a pick 5 years down the road to bring in legit help for Lebron who is looking like a top 5 player.

Because Denver actually closes out shooters, moves the rock and takes advantage of second chance opportunities.

I mean we continue to beat Denver for the last few years

Why don't they do this vs us?

Clips play the Lakers like its the finals, lets see this is in the playoffs consistently

That’s not how it works. It’s about matchups. If lakers match up well with Denver and beat and Denver regularly and the Clipprers dose not make the lakers better than the clippers who Denver regularly beats or vice versa.

It’s all about matchups. The Magic and Pacers have Bostons number this season but that doesn’t equate to being better.

Lol. Mavs played whole game like its postseason already. 7-8 man rotation with big minutes.

We finally won a game without Haliburton. We went from 5 games above .500 and in 6th place, to losing 7 in a round without him and now in 9th place. He better make the all-star game.

Denver is a matchup issue for LAC. Zubac struggles to protect the rim vs Denver’s players and Jokic is a beast.

Clippers need a good PF or C to help them out vs Denver.
