Rui is such a crap defender man. He never reads or reacts all he does is take chances. He jumped before Edwards even did anything.

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

Those two might both get 40 and you might still win if Reaves finishes with 0 and stays in foul trouble

Can Lakers run this 2man show for 40+minutes..even if they do tonight can they do it 6-7 times?
IMO series depends on Luka/LeBron energy levels:)

I don't like that Ant looked at the number of fouls on the board right after he gave up the free points. He should have already known that they don't have one to give and to not push James like that.

This is a must win game for LA. They aren't going to beat 2 generational players in these conditions

What is Randle doing trying to take Hachi 1v1 when Ant has Luka on him? Luka can't even imagine guarding Ant, give him the ball until proven otherwise
