You're a tool, and I wish I could come across you in a back alley and show you what's up, Keyboard tough guy.


you sound mad

I am mad...Your mom keeps not paying me my cut for protecting her from the Johns on the street.


He is same (bleep) that predicted 111-108 grizzlies win with bane hitting a 3.f him

He is, but then you have ding dongs like hanging from the rafters, butting in, clueless to this guys trolling.
He is not a Laker fan, yet he is here...Pretty sad.


The sad part is making threats on the keyboard! Can’t you see that? The doubling down on it by calling someone else. It was a lay up, couldn’t resist.

My bad…we can laugh at it together.


Yo so since when did LG allow this type of talk? Things changed I guess

So the difference on this game was the 2 haymakers by Jokic and Murray?

Lol why did AD try to tip it backwards when he got that offensive rebound instead of coming down with it.

When we were down 4.

Mad - refs gonna protect jokic. He lumbers alot on d and gets away with oafish fouls. Im very impressed by his offense but refs allowing him to swing his arms wildly, grab, clutch, continuously push (the only reason jokic got his 3rd is cuz nugs didnt want murray getting a 5th…as he clearly pushed ds)…he sorta like looney that way. Just oafish and uncoordinated on d but…refs let it go

I didn’t watch the game, thankfully…
Down 37-25 after one is not a good way to start.

Based on stats alone, Schroder and Russell didn’t produce much at all.

You can’t allow their entire starting lineup to dominate. And they did.
All of them…
And KCP…

We have to play better.

Out rebounded by 17 wow! That included 10 more offensive rebounds for them. That’s the difference right there…on the boards.

Lakers actuslly made a run and got within 3 with like 2 minutes to go. Was still anyones game under a minute

A combo of poor effort to start, bad matching up by staff, and nugs just goimg on long periods of scoring kept lakers at bay. Fellas coulda just raised the white flag but didnt. Hopefully the things that started working back end of 3rd and into 4th keep working

Positives

Shooting was fire 55/46/89
Only 7 Turnovers
AD 40/10
Lebron 26/12/9
Reaves 23/9, 5/9 3 pointers
21 points down to nearly snatch victory

Negatives
AD/Lebron 40+minutes, will need to play 100% in game 2 as 0-1 down
Crushed on glass 30-47
Jokic 34/21/14

0-2 down is a hell of a montain to climb, so game 2 is crucial

Trash defense. If we can fix that I'm quietly optimistic we're taking this series.

Next game's a must win though. Let's go Lakers

Defense was corrected as we outplayed them in the 2nd half but that first half DLO & Schro were HORRID on defense

Crazy thought:

Lineup of AD, LBJ, Rui, Vando, AR.

Rui can still hit the 3.

You place Rui on Jokic, Vando on Murray, and have AD play off Gordon to roam. LBJ and AR on Porter and KCP.

KCP sounds dumb in this press conference.

Reporter: “Do you feel like you have an advantage since you were on the 2020 team?”

KCP: “No. It’s a whole new team… But having played with those guy for 4-5 years, knowing them, I have an advantage. I love our team and its toughness.”

It didn't help that we started the game uber small. Thought we'd get smoked but I'm confident Ham will adjust appropriately

That was a big swing as well. Frustrating because this one was there for the taking, DEN was shaky - surviving this will give them time to adjust also

I like crazy thoughts! Lol! Got out rebounded by 17 with 10 fewer offensive boards. A bigger line up helps fix that plus it is a better match up size wise for defense.

Jokic plays horrific defense. If Lakers can exploit that they are good. His defense is like the inverse of his offense...whereas he is a savant on offense, he is literally shrek on D. Just a lumbering oaf.

Are you associating getting more rebounds as him being a better defender than AD?
