Cannot stand him. Always needs an excuse

he just needs like 1 more top 5 player on the team. 2 isn't enough.

I don’t know if he’s realised this but there’s 15 other teams going through the exact same thing lol

I agree but he played really good for tonight in spots

Whiteside is painful, but the Lakers may be one of the few teams where he is okay on the floor in a playoff game. The Lakers insistence on playing a paint bound center next to AD kind of makes it okay. Whiteside had some huge plays down the stretch, because there was no reason to leave the paint.

Jeff Green balled out today. We should have played him at the 5 when he was with Boston.

Yes, if they were in Staples Center, the fans would be yelling for them to foul?

Lakers exceptionalism at its finest. Maybe they thought the NBA would still declare them the winner of the game despite the score? I dunno. But I enjoyed watching those last few minutes live last night.

bucks-magic reminded me of our series last year. G1 everything fell into place for us, everything went right, and bucks looked flummoxed. G2-5 were a different story. i'm predicting the same thing here. i don't think they're worried.

otoh lakers-blazers is gonna be a good one. the lakers don't look like they're worried either, but they should be.

Can't score outside, can't score inside.

The fans are all watching you. Whether you can see our faces or not that's the difference. But they are watching.

He is 74 years old. Oh wait. You mean the other Reggie Jackson. He's still in the league? Why wouldn't you just give a contract to the older better one instead?

You know I'm 1000% with you on this (math). I hate the Lakers (duh), but was still kinda screaming "why aren't they fouling?!?!?" at my tv.

But, I also loved the end of the first half where Stotts subbed Nurkic in for the last 9 seconds and he promptly escorted James right to the rim.

lol, at douche chills. Love it.

Such crap. He was obviously a huge driver in making the bubble happen so he could get another shot at a ring for himself.
I think he knew the fans wouldn't be there...

I've never really paid attention to Jarrett Allen for a full game until today (no DAJ for Nets). He's quite good, huh? Super impressed with his passing on the short roll, his ability to stay with his man but also challenge drivers, and his tenacity on the boards. Nets would be buried again today if not for his brilliant play.

His backup Kurucs has been garbage. Raptors on a run again as soon as Allen sat.

Really hope BKN can pull off this win. Raps are overrated.
