Westbrook is such a downgrade from Paul. I think rockets would actually be the favourites to win it all with Paul.

That would be every single Laker fan...

Hell of quarter for Rondo. Super active on defense, his defensive iq is still next level. Gotta keep up this intensity the rest of the way.

Our shooters are streaky so we play whoever is hot for the night.

Was that 2nd on Tucker a touch foul, or a no-touch foul?

I never hated on Rondo. I don't think he's great but I also don't think he's worse than the other options.

They're gonna keep hoisting 3's, they don't make adjustments. Just gotta keep that defensive pressure and its smooth sailing

It takes ten seconds to get a three second call, apparently.

LeBron looks like he’s about ready to shift gears in this series.

Thank you JVG for acknowledging that Nick Nurse has changed the way NBA teams play defense.

Who was telling me the Lakers needed to play big to win. They surround James with shooters for 4 **** minutes and look what happens. Smfh, get a clue.

Lakers are the best defense in the NBA when they want to be.

It's what I call a phantom foul. It's there, you just can't see it.
