I had Lakers before this game to take the series. Now it might be 50/50. 5/32 from 3 is awful. Lakers just can't shoot and they had plenty of open looks.

Productive Whiteside's awesome

Don't know why they are giving Caruso 29mpg he had nearly no effect in this game. Also thought all of Howard's shenanigans took LA out of the game mentally.

Dion not the most reliable but he would at least been able to give more than KCP 0/9 and Caruso 1/6.

They desperately need his offensive punch off the bench surprised you didn't see him today.

It wasn't Dwight. Lakers haven't been shooting well in the bubble. They have been average all season. It's hard to win if you only make 5 threes in today's game.

They definitely could've used Mion tonight Bish. No idea why Vogel froths on guys like KCP and Caruso. Yeah KCP can do a job and doesnt need the rock, but Mion a surprisingly effective catch and shoot guy too.

NGL Whiteside was awesome but LeBron has no gear or lift on his drive esp. late in games anymore. He was like a little bug getting attracted to those summer electric bug kill thing AKA Hassan Whiteside getting swatted left and right lmao

Avery Bradley, who isn't great by any stretch of imagination, was supposed to be an NBA player version of Caruso and would have played the most of these 29 mins had he been in the bubble. Caruso seems to be pretty good defensively from what I can tell, but he has no effect on Dame making 30 footers from logo, then he has no business being out there pretty much.

I've heard some grumblings about how chit Lakers back court is with washed Danny Green, Poop, and unproven Caruso, and this game definitely proved LAL doubters right. They look pretty whack. Can't wait for Vogal to go full panic mode and start JR Smith and Mion back court

NGL it would be hilarious Melo and Blazers knocked off LeBron Lakers.

I still have Lakers in 6, but they look pretty bad. Pass first LeBron + Bad shooters = bad

Never forget that Blazers once had this guy on the roster and they could have used him tonight when everyone had 5 fouls but then he would have lost the game so no, Lifer, they didn't need him at all

Let's face it LeBron tends to feel out game one he'll have better idea of what to do to win this series

Still had a monster stat line, but offensively he didn’t look his usual self. Particularly with AD being charmin soft.

Team outside those two has some pretty trash players. Wouldn’t expect pesky Danny Green to be that bricky going forward though.

didn't watch the whole game, but it looks like he tried really hard to get others (esp. AD) going but they didn't answer his call. this has happened to chit Cavs before but LeBron still came through at the end until he faced overwhelming talents in KD Warriors and such. I expect LeBron to go up a notch, but it ain't anywhere close to super saiyan type LeBron anymore for sure.

Danny Green must have used up all his voo doo 3 pointers in 2014 Finals coz I've never seen him shoot that well outside of that series/year. he was pretty trash last year's playoffs and he's plenty trash now

Danny Green and Gary Neal. Our finals resume is trash for containing scrub shooters. JJ Barea too smmfh.

Dirk went super saiyan that series though. We still should've won - blowing what, a 14pt lead in the 4th at home in Game 2? FOH
