Kessler out of the season.

Jazz tank for real, it's hard for the Mavs.

Watching the Spurs perfect game plan for Luka tonight, it came up short, because he's still Luka **** Doncic, but it was as close as it gets, reminds me of less talked about transaction and loss for the team, Sweeney is good, he is and will be missed.

Still the same opinion about Ayton? Lakers are not getting those close wins without him.

Actually htis is the 1s game I'm reconsidering my opinion, Laravia almost cost them the game BTW :D Wide open airball, lose his man and foul him with 0.4 left.

Nah, the out of bounds was stupid, classic Marcus Smart, but he had multiple game winning plays.

I'm talking about possibly costing them a game in the end. 1 second before end having in bounds pass without any need or hurry could have been tragic and Laravia foul wouldn't have happened without that play.

Anyway great win for the Lakers again playing with 2 of top3 players out. 7/2 start with very difficult schedule and LeBron missing 9 games, Luka 4 and AR 2 is kinda good. Lakers are not risking anything with injuries, that can proven to be very smart on long run.
