The difference in size and athleticism between the 2 teams is a joke. Every rebound is an adventure for LA.

Hayes is cooking any kind of chance at a good contract 
Bro is useless. He was looking pretty good to end the season

Hayes complains about the most obvious fouls...
Defense wins draft lotteries!

Always hard to get into a new NBA game after an intense previous one. I think I need a burger.

Jaxson Hayes is crazy. He's picked up 2 fouls in 4 minutes and a technical.

Rui Hachimura has no offensive aggression in his body. He won't shoot. And the opportunity is there for him because the Lakers are dying for athletic, dynamic role players.

If we win this series with Hayes playing it's the greatest achievement in sports.
This dude is a crackhead with hops.

Literally just said this. After the way the refs let NY and DET play rough then seeing the refs calling these tissue calls in this LA Minny game is a turn off. Will watch the highlights not wasting my time.

Damn who would have seen it coming that Hayes has the only big would be unreliable in the playoffs. GM malpractice from Rob.

Will be a tough year for the league if Lakers can find a competent center and some extra firepower for the bench in free agency.

We need Japan WW2 type of agression from him.

LeBron playing like this is still so crazy to me.
He has that Tom Brady longevity. Pretty spectacular to see it in the playoffs.

Its way more impressive then Tom imo because he's still an impactful defender when he needs to be.

I mean, that's not what Hachimura is. He would be coming off the bench on 90% of playoff teams.

Does Gobert have the worst hands of all time? This guy can’t even catch the ball

Rui is such a waste. LA played better when he was injured. He got zero passion in him. Low motor guy who'd be great if he tried hard.
