Need to limit Russell's play if he's not scoring.

Tough one man. Gun to my head - Haney.

Loma looked bad last match. Haney is on the come up.

I can see them moving it to Gordon since that's what actually made AD miss, but if he makes that layup he doesn't fall to exaggerate the contact. Either way, that's not going to be 4 on Jokic

Never liked Lebron as the person but huge respect for him as a player.

I think he needs to accept a valuable bench role at this stage.

The Lakers would do well to remove his salary.

He could revisit that free agency meeting with Pop and join the Spurs who would draft his son as their point guard since they have trash there.

I got a boring fight because of Haney's jab and constantly bending down which makes it hard to hit him clean. Not to mention neither one of them have knockout power.

I have a feeling this is the kind of marginal contact that will result in an upheld call.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Up 2-0 in an away game is the most important game of his career? Every single games he plays from this point on will be more important than this one

This isn’t even the most important game in the series up 2-0.

Soft foul but Jokic didn't go straight up

That was a bogus call on Jokic. He didn't touch AD. It's a shame Malone has to use up his challenge.

Vanderbilt having zero confidence from the corner 3 is a nice bonus for Denver.

If the Lakers just fall down it's an automatic foul call lmao
