    When you have the refs in your pocket, of course crunch time is your time. Their point differential is very low, shows signs of ref tampering for wins.

    The Lakers knew they would just keep it close and win at the end.

    I appreciate the effort fighting back but Lakers really slept walked

    I don't think this is a better team even with Fred and Steve available to play. We really messed up with DFS, KD and keeping Tari

    We always end up with a Sengun 3 down the stretch of close games. It's baffling

    Turns out that despite Dillon's reputation, subbing him for KD was the biggest downgrade to our culture in team history

    Well, that's game ya'll. Nothing to be done when Luka is hot and he can't be touched.

    DFS all chummy with his old teammates. Would be nice if he just rejoined them

    He just needs to relax and stop overthinking.
