    For one thing, LeBron was going the wrong way. He likes to fade left on 3-point shots, not right. He usually drives going right instead of shooting.

    You know what's really bad? I turned to ESPN for SVP's show hoping to get some NFL draft and NBA talk. Then Kendricks Perkins big face shows up on the screen and I had to mute it.

    I don't get why ESPN loves him so much.

    The token dumb analyst with bad takes who instantly makes the more knowledgeable viewer feel smart, basically rage baiting that can lead to dopamine effect.

    Because he says things like Luka needs to play better and LeBron is playing MVP ball on both sides of the court.



    I didn't get to watch most of the game, but it seems like Edwards was locked in from what I did watch of the fourth quarter. He only made one mistake when he forced a shot and got blocked by LeBron. He had plenty of open guys that he passed up because he was determined to get a shot off and end the game. But he also was the determining factor in the Wolves winning the game.

    I wish Di Vicenzo wasn't playing so insecure taking bad fouls and passing up open shots. Good for the Wolves to take advantage of Doncic. I assume McDaniels had a great game because he was attacking Doncic.

    Looks like Randall was aggressive and the Lakers still can't guard him. He can't become the terrible playoff player he's been in the upcoming elimination games. The first one being this Sunday even though it technically ain't an elimination game.

    Going to be a crazy game. Still think the Lakers take the series once Doncic recovers, but it is a real quick turnaround. At least Lakers in 5 is impossible now.

    even if luka falters this series, the mavs trade would still go down as one of the shttiest trade in terms of return.

    If Ant sinks the Lakers then there is no way he will be ever again compared to Jalen Green....

    Lakers have no center. Jaxson Hayes is unplayable. LeBron is their tallest player after Hayes. LOL.

    I wish. But Doncic shouldn't be hungover anymore or whatever was wrong with him. He's the key to the series for the Lakers.
