Half of the roster is washed up. Lakers have 2 elite players one is injured and really not much of anything behind them

pretty sad because he used to be near automatic for those. just doesn't have the same elite elevation and burst anymore, despite still being a top NBA athlete.

Vogel taking out Dwight to put Russ back in is inexcusable.

No one in the upper echelon East is scared of the Bulls. Miami, Milwaukee & Brooklyn would all trounce them in a 7 game series. Cleveland I also think is better.

So why is Harden still in the game and not Irving?

Only chance any team has in a 7 game series against the nets is irving not playing or injuries.

It's 1 game. They've been at the top of the East all year, still will be after this. Doesn't make sense to write them off after 1 bad loss. They're also on the 2nd night of a back to back.

And this is the first time the Nets have actually won against a top team this year.

Nobody knows how anything is really going to play out in the PS.

One of those games by Bulls - missing key players hurts them a lot more since their best defenders are missing (Pat Will, Caruso, Green, DJJ) and 2nd of back to back while they are missing everything - nothing going for them while Nets have everything going for them. Making all the shots inside/outside.

Austin Reaves doing everything he can to keep the Lakers in this game. By far the most impactful player on the court for them and that's no troll.

Austin Reeves for the Lakers (white guy) has to be the most annoying player in the league. Dude flops like a fish out of water all over the court looking for calls. Worse than Chris Paul.
