    They are doubling Durant every possession and he still is 4/4 lol.

    Reeds gotta stop picking up his dribble, and needs to shoot that runner.

    Man we really need to get a win, if Luka or Reeves come back we'll clearly be outmatched, we're just keeping pace with Bron.

    It’s not hard. Don’t let Smart shoot open 3’s and Kennard use his left hand. This team is defensively r****ded.

    We are the most unprepared, underdeveloped, undercoached team I have ever seen.

    You can't leave Kennard open. Also Tari just shoot it, stop with the pumpfakes and drives

    So we’re just going to let Smart and Kennard beat ue, if it happens just blow the entire team up.

    I guess you'll have to play some defense and move your feet at some point because the Lakers aren't going to miss open looks.
