How hard is it for Gobert to play like this regularly? All he's doing is not fumbling the ball and taking advantage of his size...

His scared of Gobert, but man even If you get blocked, go up and go hard, never know you might get contact and draw foul etc.

Lakers fans chanting "Refs you suck!" after an obvious foul call and right after the lakers were just gifted 3-points on a blatantly botched challenge reversal is hilarious :lol:

“When’s the last time Rudy Gobert had twenty in a game?”

Uh… he had 19 in the last game of the season and 35 the game before that? I genuinely despise the lack of respect for the game that national broadcasts like to show. Zero prep work, shameful.

EDIT: The goalposts got changed to “Playoff” game. Kill me. :lol:

Luka falls over his own feet.... Foul on McDaniels
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.
