They were lucky to get one, that’s it

I dont know if the CAvs can play with the big boys yet

much improved - fought on a 2nd night of a road back to back

but Embiid was just too much.

He is the MVP if you ask me.

Ad cost me 1K because his bum ass couldn't grab 8 boards. Would have been my 3rd parlay hit this week

When did @msgkings322 turn into Wiggy? Lol

Warriors really need to shore up that defense. Its tough going against teams without any real size. In a 7 game series that can cause some issues if they go cold from the field.

Klay was phenomenal. Kuminga looks special. Wiggins was really good down the stretch too. Curry cold from 3 but overall I thought he played a nice game.

The Warriors absolutely need Draymond back though. He’s the difference for this team.

It’s either really great or really bad for my bank account that DraftKings doesn’t allow the parlays in California lol.

Embiid is playing crazy right now. Hard to disagree that he’s the MVP.

Lebron lost that game for the Lakers. He was pretty bad that 4th quarter. I'm not even counting the 1st missed FT, I'm talking his general play. Missed several make-able shots. Shot poorly overall in general. There was possession where the Lakers had great ball movement and he had a catch and shoot 3, he hesitates to allow the defender to close in, he dribbles to the side and the defender blows past and still misses the 3. If he shoots on the catch in rhythm, he likely makes it. A few possessions Reaves did really well defending his man, but gets beat on the dribble yet Lebron doesn't rotate over to bump the driver so they got an easy shot. And most costly, so many of his passes he upped the degree of difficulty for literally no reason. A simple pass he's trying to no look or is trying to feed it in with some weirdass angle that would look good on a highlight. Others were just sloppy to where the guy couldn't catch it cleanly so the defense recovered.

AD could have been more aggressive, sure, but he wasn't bad. And they totally wasted a rare good Westbrook game. But Lebron decision making and sloppy play at inopportune times took a winnable game off the table. He's carried the team the whole year so he's bound to have a bad night, but tonight, he's definitely the main reason they lost. He cleans up those mistakes or plays to his capabilities, LA pulls off that upset

Agreed.

# Iggy needs to stay healthy too..... But yes, Draymond is their floor captain.

% And yeah...they should try to get another big somehow...and one who's proven.
If Looney goes down for a long stretch of time ...they're gonna be screwed.

This is my issue with him. 11 attempts vs Portland and 13 tonight. Not good enough. Should be between 16-18

He should be more aggressive sure. But they also need to do a better job getting him the ball when he posts up under the basket. Several times this game he'd have good positioning within 5 feet calling for the ball and they wouldn't throw it to him. That's not his fault. When you see AD posting up Jordan Poole down low early in the shot clock, throw him the damn ball. Don't wait until Looney arrives, pushes the post up out to 12 feet and then pass. That's just dumb shit. But this team does dumb shit all the time. Mark Jackson is largely a poor announcer but he said something tonight that's 100% true. This Lakers team does none of the little things that contributes to winning basketball

Murray has really taken the next step, he's balling this season.

Improved every season of his career but this season he's really taken off.

DeRozan joins MJ as the only 2 players in Bulls history with 5 straight games of at least 35 points.

This didn't age well.....at all. LOL.

James shooting 9 of 27 on FG's and 5 of 9 on FT's lost them the game. Especially in the closing seconds.

LeBron played poorly.

Davis played like a role player, not a star.

Davis needs to be a star for the Lakers to go anywhere. So it didn’t age poorly at all.

Lakers lost because Davis played like a pedestrian and LeBron didn’t close.

AD and RW (he was efficient) combined for 26 shots while James took 27 shots. It's most likely on Vogel for not establishing the inside game.

Word it however you want......close, lose the game.....

If James makes the FT's they go to OT (rather than a straight L) and if he made a few more FG's.....they outright win the game.

You are calling somebody out saying their post didn’t age well.

The Lakers need a lot more from Anthony Davis if they are going to beat a good team. Simple as that.

The post calling AD out aged just fine.

Like I said before.....James lost the game for them, not AD. Anybody that watched the game saw that. And those are.....

#Bigfacts

Pretty sure AD wasn't at the FT line in the closing seconds....
