Yeah, that was a bad stretch with missed opportunities and dumb turnovers.Fun first half and impressive Lakers run to cut the lead to 1. I hope the Pels prove me wrong and able to keep this same energy/focus in the 4th.

Similarly, I have the Heat advancing in the finals after a 7 game series with the Celtics.I have BOS and OKC facing off in the finals. I know, I know, both #1 seeds hardly ever make it that far. The last time was in 2016 . . . 8 years ago. The last time before that was 2008 . . .8 years earlier. The last time before that was 2000 . . . 8 years earlier. It happened a few times in the 90s, including 1992. And it happened again in 1984. So I am playing the Crazy 8's card and predicting it to happen again . . . for the 6th time in a row.
If that happens again, I will completely melt down.Similarly, I have the Heat advancing in the finals after a 7 game series with the Celtics.I have BOS and OKC facing off in the finals.

Warriors are assuredly not getting eliminated tonight, sadly.Go Pels!
Love the option of both LA Lakers and Warriors getting eliminated in the play-in...although that hurts ratings I know.

Maybe if he ever plays in the playoffs.
Now add those up and you're on to something.I was curious how the standings looked counting games only against Eastern Conference opponents.Would the Warriors be the 2 seed in the East?

That's a bonus for SAC defense.No Red Rocket for the Kings - GSW advances.
Yeah that was… strange. It’s just simple math, Reggie, I hope you guys aren’t talking about that on a plane.Loved Reggie Miller saying AD should intentionally miss the second FT up 3 with 2.7 seconds to play (rather than make it to go up 4).
He’s the worst.
He did. Guy is a modern marvel.Man Lebron looked great tonight. 39 years old.
Dray with a nice pick of his pocket there too.This is a prime example of why people that compare Jokic and Sabonis are idiots. Sabonis is an all-star level regular season player that is trash when a team can scheme him.
Are there actually people out there doing that?This is a prime example of why people that compare Jokic and Sabonis are idiots. Sabonis is an all-star level regular season player that is trash when a team can scheme him.
Monk’s absence is the problem as much as I like Ronald Threesley.No Red Rocket for the Kings - GSW advances.
That comparison is always prefaced by the assertion that Sabonis is a poor man’s version of Jokic so it’s a weird complaint.Are there actually people out there doing that?This is a prime example of why people that compare Jokic and Sabonis are idiots.

Seems like a Perkins kind of idiocy to me, but idk.
I don't think anybody says he's better but they are often compared.Are there actually people out there doing that?This is a prime example of why people that compare Jokic and Sabonis are idiots. Sabonis is an all-star level regular season player that is trash when a team can scheme him.

Ok, nevermind. There he is.What is wrong with Fox? Has he been hurt or something? Just doesn't have that extra speed burst he used to and is JAG out there tonight with 10 pts on 11 shots...and I would have guessed he only had 4-6 pts.
It was a run. He is going to be a terrible contract for somebody next year if he doesn't retire.Klay going out with a whimper.
When your two worst perimeter defenders get hurt and they are replaced with your two best perimeter players, it helps the defense.Also, best defense by the Kings that I can recall...there defense was atrocious for the most part in the regular season
Happy for the Kings here...those fans deserve a glimmer of success
Hope Zion is OK to play Friday. He was awesome tonight and I’m not sure Lakers win if he stayed on the court through the end.
