or I could take time to find a team to put in my about that I won’t post about and for good reason

He's trying to communicate, I just know it!

Have the lakers been this bad at transition D all season?

Pau Gasol level of getting back on D

Yup. No teams this year are weakness-free

Never ceases to amaze when the refs still get it wrong after review. A flagrant on a blocked shot? Sure, there was contact as well, shooting foul. Follow that up with a bad goaltending call.

Can't speak to earlier calls, turned the game on at 18-20.

Pretty much, but that last one was inexplainable. Essentially 4 on 5 but nobody takes Jokic? WTF?

The goaltend call was worse

Funny how depth helps a team adjust to matchups. Rui stepping up in this series, couldn't match up vs the small ball Warriors so Walker stepped up instead. This team had horrible depth earlier this season.

One of the most remarkable trade deadline improvements I can remember

It's just nice the Lakers finally realized that the 3 star system saps the depth and went for multiple pieces.

Oh LeBron, buddy

 

[shopson67]

Ouch, James with too much hot sauce...that's two blown bunnies.

Helps when you get rid of a 'star' that's a negative value player

 

[trojanfight]

Lol LeBron with highlight miss

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Well that was embarrassing

 

[Shanemansj13]

Bron missed two layups. Yikes. Gonna remember those 4 points if they lose a close game

 

[PPhan]

Instead of trying to be cute here, LeBron should have gone for a simple dunk.

Absolutely. I don't know when Russ completely lost his touch (everything at 100 mph), but he used to hit jumpers. Not elite, but at least workable.
