    You're right but Sengun also has to put himself on the block. He's had a terrible habit this season of not fighting to put himself into better positioning. He frequently calls for the ball when he's at the free throw or 3 point line.

    Ime is just throwing dudes out there without a plan. His playoff strategy was clearly to give it to KD and hope for the best and he has nothing else

    The Lakers are playing fluid and better basketball, no shame in admitting.

    I mean there was no reason to think anything else. That's been the extent of his offense all year.

    You’re gonna be losing when a team shoots 19/26 on you and hits contested shots like this. Hope they cool down.
