    The pressure is on us to not lose to a scrub Lakers squad, the Lakers have a built in excuse if they lose so they are chill

    Tough situation with KD out. I am rooting for Reed, he needs to prove himself to Ime.

    They really need some scoring and shooting, play Aaron Holiday, JD and Jeff Green more minutes. But I am not feeling confident.

    Sengun has Ayton guarding him, so this series should be nothing more than a relaxing getaway for him

    MRI shows no structural damage so KD is just being a giant p***y. I knew he couldn't be trusted.

    Just kidding. Or am I? lol
