    I think LeBron elbowed him. Ayton did the thing to call for a replay and then a timeout with LeBron being sent to the Lakers' side.

    Never mind. It was to review a charge.

    I'll never understand why Paul could never find Capela on the oop. Harden was giving them out all over the joint yet Paul would never put it up there for him

    He didnt need to.

    Jordan was better.

    Jordan would have never be an embarrassment like Lebron was against the Mavs in the Finals.

    Neither would he struggle against Kawhi during Heat/Spurs finals.

    Booker has never been doubled before UH OH!!

    Booker has never gotten the Harden treatment in the playoffs

    whenever the Lakers dont double Booker he scores

    Monty is getting him the ball in other spots to score, but uh oh

    LIke I said before, Lakers just need to squeeze this one out.

    Scott Foster will carry the Lakers in game 7.

    Suns are giving this away and Lebron hasn't even done much to eat into the lead. Not a good sign for PHX

    Monty Williams needed to call a timeout wayyyy earlier.

    He has 6 to Vogel's 2. Use one of them to get your team's mental right.

    It looked like they changed the ball.

    I also watched Jordan play. We need to stop with the Jordan could never be stopped. We all watched Maxwell give him fits. To say he would never ever falter just doesn't make sense.

    Different NBA eras, Different games. No way to compare. Just leave it at that.

    CP3, booker and the sun better not let this gam get away, with or without AD, 36 year old or not, I wouldn't want to face Lebron James in a game 7.

    Your "would" vs my "what happened".

    Fact: Lebron has struggled in series, especially finals and his team has lost because of it.

    If you think Jordan would have struggled against Max in a 7 game series, like Lebron did against the Mavs, then no, you have not watched Jordan play lol. Lebron memes from that series are still floating around.

    Fixed that for you. Wouldn't be the first undermanned team he's done this to this year.
