    If they score 160 we probably will lose...

    I know people are shocked at just how well LA is shooting even from mid range, and I am too....but the difference is they don't have to fight for the position they're getting before they even receive the ball. We do. We have to fight to just to dribble around a pick. From a defensive coach I expected more pressure, we have the players to do it...

    Refs definitely tried to make this game competitive after the timeout. We will need refs to extend this series

    I'm just throwing it out there, maybe Jalen's gf is an actual witch and she bodyswapped him with Sengun and that's why he dresses like a hairdresser, is soft and couldn't hit a wall if it was a ft in front of him...

    lakers keep getting guys who are stepping up and help them win games.

    rockets have players who are "all stars" and underperforming

    recipe for success baybee!
