    Damn, I am not watching game 3. The Lakers will do the same thing and Ime will have no answer again. It’s going to be ugly.

    I don’t really want to trade Duran Duran Durant in the off-season, but I actually think that he would have a pretty good trade value.

    The response...

    Trade Reed and Bari for more defensive wings! MORE DEFENSE! MORE EFFORT!

    Both Ime and Jabari said they were playing good enough defense because the Lakers only scored 101 pts.

    That's totally wrong. How stupid it is.

    Without Luka and Reaves, they are not that team can get 110+ pts any longer.

    LBJ : 28 pts 8/20
    Smart: 25 pts 8/13
    Kennard: 23pts 8/13

    You called that good defense? Lol.

    PS: Kennard can average 8.4 pts per game in 2026 regular season while Smart with 9.3 pts.

    That's fine, then Capela moves closer to his man and sets a pick.

    I'm also fine with Amen having separation when starting a drive down the lane. It would be hard to draw a charge in the scenario.

    Also, a completely wide open 3 because the defense doesn't care turns a 20% shooter into a 30%+ shooter.
