Seriously. Best team in the league by a mile if we can just shoot AVERAGE. AVERAGE SHOOTING!! Not too much to ask for from NBA players. _________________ “You can't be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.” - Kobe Bryant |

What’s crazy is with AD/Lebron it doesn’t even have to be average. Anything over 30%...smh |

If we can find a way to sneak out this game 6 with AD getting another 2 days rest, I actually think we would be in a really good position to win game 7 with a somewhat healed AD and some momentum. The question is now, can we live to fight another day without him, and force a game 7? In any other year I would say absoulutely. We will need a really big lift from the crowd, lebron to go back to 2018 Lebron, and just one role player to give a boost. |

The Lakers should still be the clear favorite to win this series. They’re at home and have a really nice crew of officials so if they can even get mediocre production from the supporting cast, this should be a win. Then by game 7, maybe AD will be healthier and they would have momentum from the game 6 win and Scott Foster |

We know they can have bursts of competitive brilliance, they just can not sustain it. Tonight is the time to change that!
Play a full 48 mins of battling for rebounds, fighting through screens, contesting shots, creating turnovers for some easy baskets. All very doable.
Having a James 30+ pts triple double, team shooting above 35% 3pt and a few role players in double digits. All very doable.
Can and will the Lakers play with that type of intensity and be able to sustain it for a full 48 mins is the big question. Not a lot of deep thinking in this one, comes down to who wants it more and is willing to prove it.
Let’s go Lakers! |

Whomever is attending tonights game, would really be great if they make it loud enough so the suns can feel some adversity just a little bit. Suns are way too comfortable. |

I have lingering images of LeBron during the last game. He looked like a man defeated. He left the court, went to the locker room 5 minutes before it ended.
I may be in the minority, can't believe I'm saying this, I don't care if we lose tonight, put me out of my misery.
We went from a championship team to damn near a lotto. I won't blame Rob, or Frank, the injury bug and basketball ball gods defeated us. Let's pack it in and start to prepare for 2022.
I'll watch tonight with little glee. I'm the insufferable optimist who posted OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH!! I ask forgiveness for having little faith.
My intentions are to try to enjoy the playoffs. If the Sail Boat Boys go down tomorrow Los Angeles won't have a horse in the race. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
