    Another thing to note...all of our passes are contested. Every single one of them. The lakers passes are clear...no need to even hesitate. We don't try and deny passes. We just sit back 3 feet from our guy.

    Come on, keep getting stops here.

    Good! Another solid stop.

    That's the first two defensive stops we've had all series, it seems. We need that energy.

    I'd love for "best athlete in the league" Ameiz XLNC "my parents are clearly r****ded" Thompson to actually dunk on someone on a fast break instead of always dumping it off. He's worse than Jalen, at least Jalen tried before he failed, Ameiz is straight b****

    Everything just feels rushed… settle down, set your feet and shoot geez..

    stop dribbling into the hands of Marcus smart.

    stop playing 20 seconds of defense and then turn into a sieve in the last 4

    LeBron and Smart cannot go left. Need to keep forcing them that way.

    I said last summer when the trade went down we would regret it. There's still a way to flip it into a positive if we can trade him for at least a FRP this offseason.

    One thing is LA is not good enough to go up 20 on us so we are always theoretically a run away from making it a game.
