Big legacy defining game for Lebby tonight.

Seriously though, Bron needs to channel that Luka energy from last night.

Be aggressive, attack and put pressure on Phoenix.

Don't worry about getting the likes of Andre ******* Drummond going.

Hopefully for the Lakers' sake Schroeder and KCP don't combine for 0 German/American hybrid basketball points again and Caruso does something besides hack people.

Can the Lakers borrow Tim Hardaway Jr , Maxi Kleber and Jalen Brunson?

 

[100027]

I agree this is definitely going to be a legacy defining Scott Foster game.

 

[pums]

Phoenix gonna come out of the west if they beat the lakers tomorrow.

 

[DoncicKong]

He loves Luka more than his girl

Phoenix gonna come out of the west if they beat the lakers tomorrow.

Are they though? Outside of shroeder and bron, the guard and wing depth the lakers have is pretty meh. The Suns have been able to exploit that all series long. Other teams don’t really have that issue like Utah, Portland and Dallas. Denver as well but they’re battling injuries.

We’ll see though, this is why they play the games

Harden vs cp3 finals

 

[rolaholic]

Still dying over the story of Ainge furiously rushing to the locker room after their last home game to rally the troops and storm the Nets locker room only to be met by this reaction from his players

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Really is

All against the “elite defense” of the Clippers

Campazzo and Jokic Drop pick and roll defense wont be a problem. The blazers defense in general wont be a problem .

The Mavs are too Luka Centric. I just dont trust the Jazz

 

[lawdog1]

Luka was Luka, off night for Kawhi (and Rondo), Clippers committed a lot of dumb turnovers and there you have it. Good game by the Mavs.

 

[niceshoes247]

Good morning

 

[N41D]

Deserves reiteration that the Mavericks won a playoff road game on a night you could comfortably argue Boban Marjanovic was their second most impactful player in the game.

Goooooooood mornin’.

I think it's hilarious that you're forgetting that Kyrie also has a very checkered injury history. Kyrie has missed a higher % if his career games than AD

Kyrie couldn't finish the 2015, 2018 or 2019 playoffs. He's had one 75 game season and other than that has missed a minimum of 10 games. Let's not rewrite history here, Kyrie is no ironman.

I don't think we'll see too many players in this and the next generation play 82 games often. Load management/days off is a thing now.

Still weird to me how Knicks fans made him this hated villain.

He's the best player on the first playoff team we've seen in years
If it wasn't him it would've been someone else

Helped that he played along and took it all in good stride
Except for buddy that spit on him I think it was harmless fun for everyone

 

[sohi 23]

Robot man ain’t leading a team of scrubs nowhere either He’s always been on good teams with all-star caliber co-stars. Fact is the Clippers are underachieving 2 playoffs in a row with solid rosters. At some point he gotta shoulder some of the blame for that.

I’ve seen Kawhi be the best player on title teams.
I’ve seen Kyrie be the best player on two teams that got the #1 pick.
