    Well this an L because Udoka wanted near 40 year KD to have a hard practice right before the playoffs.

    This affects the player too, the Lakers keep fouling him because they know its not getting called, eventually Amen is going to stop driving because he's not getting nothing out of it.

    Amen is getting inside but the paint is so packed….because defenders can all sag off the shooters who can’t shoot

    Hard to play better when you are getting hit on the head, arms, and grabbed, and the refs have decided they just won't call fouls for you.
