No! He will wear down. It's the Jokic defense we're playing against him. They don't have enough around him, and he knows it.

Doesn't look like we are winning the non Luka minutes so far

So far, looks like Ant and JMcD has taking the next step. Naz has taken a couple steps back. Conley has no steps left.

Conley looks totally cooked on both ends.

Marcus Smart is a difference-maker for LA out there

Bones played better than I expected. Even with Rudy our defense is bad. Our offense has way too many no pass shots. This is bad process leading to bad shots, which leads to bad results. The Lakers without Lebron are not that good. We are embarrassing ourselves.

They're really pissing me off with ignoring Rudy...

In the last minute alone he could've had 3 dunks if they just passed it high to him.

Hope Finch benches Julius until the half for this last play. Ignores Rudy under the rim, takes a dumbass fadeaway that hits the side of the backboard and then gambles and gives up an open 3...

I want Ant to get that same call

Win lose or draw that 2nd quarter was pathetic.

Defense has been bad. We have been on fire but we can't get any stops.

I don’t like seeing us give up 68 points in a half. “Defensive identity?”

Players just don't trust him. His misses and drops are loud and they don't pass to him unless they have no other option.

By that logic if Rudy started punishing them with how many defensive assignments they miss and he has to clean up they owe him a 1000 dunks every year.

First lesson I ever learned about PG play from Rondo was "have to reward your big". He's hustling, calling out defensive plays, doing the dirty work and you want to act high and mighty because you can dance with the ball more. **** hell

What happened to the energy? Where did Ant go?

Jaden gets abused by the whistle

I just don't understand what Jaylen Clark is supposed to do there.

I wish we had one damn player on our team who could lob to Rudy the way Luka lobs to his bigs.
