Yup. They can cut 20 points in half in two minutes, easy.

I can’t count how many times I’ve said that over the last few years. I appreciate some of what he did but I’m so glad to not deal with his style of play.

Where should Westbrook be traded to in the offseason, folks?

Westbrook is looking like a g-league player out there.

Russ went for the up and under early in the 1st and Lebron was ready to take his soul again! He is SHOOK :lol:

Lebron is so fun to watch. I really hope we get Lebron/Kawhi in the WCF.

Lakers offense is too bipolar for me to trust any sort of lead. When their wide open shots fall at a decent rate they’re damn near unstoppable

I think the getting shook started when the referees were announced. A few times getting hit with no calls and getting called with no hits, and the Rockets were toast. The history of being victimized by Foster (and other referees) is just too long and too heavy. At a certain point, the team recognizes it just can't win. Lakers are playing better than Game 1, though.
