    Dame threes from 30+ feet are the most entertaining shots to me...the ease with which he pulls up from there amazes me

    Yeah but they are about to Rondo back.


    lol

    And the Rockets absolutely have a better chance against the Blazers than the Lakers.

    The refs really pulled out every tool to get the lakers this win.

    how embarrassing. 2 “Top 5” players, 0-4 from the free throw line

    Blazers are too ****ing deep man,, Whiteside/Nurkic combo with Lillard & CJ the backcourt, & having Trent Jr & Melo at the forwards spots. WTF is their salary cap looking like.. sheesh!

    Lakers lack experience.
    IT shows down the stretch

    He is like the better version of Kevin Love when he was with the wolves.... maybe a bad comparison but you get my drift.

    Davis doesn’t know what winning feels like. He chokes in these situations. I love it.

    Russ is what I'm worried about. His track record against that team is not good.

    Lakers offense is trash, and Portland is one of the worst defensive teams in the playoffs.

    Shaq is so annoying with his "I won championships so I'm right." attitude all the damn time. Charles makes a good point that they need others to step up a bit.

    Getting 17 free throws and only scoring 28 points is DISGUSTING

    The Lakers need to put AD at 5 and Kuzma at 4. Their spacing is terrible.

    I've been saying this for years ..... I would honestly trade him for Bam , a starter, and a draft pick.... AD is ultra talented but soft as charmin

    What a night!!!

    Lebron being on this team as a distributor instead of leading by scoring doesn't look good for LAL.

    He can do the best Magic Johnson impression he can possibly muster, but he just ain't Magic.
