Okay, I know we been talking Miami all year but yeah didn't see them up 3-0. Knew they was a tough matchup but they just outclassing Milwaukee in the worst way
This is going to be Giannis wake up moment. Another year left on his deal and he has no help to make things easier for him. No playmakers that can get their own shot, he has to set them up for everything. This team will get some type of small overhaul in this short offseason or you can realistically look at Giannis in the free agent field in 21-22

WOW just wow The Bucks collapse is surreal...not saying they can't come back from an 0-3 hole but it has never ever ever been done Defensive player of the year and the MVP are pretty well and done...maybe they get 1 and push this to a 5 game series but other than that they are done. In that sense, at least the Raptors were able to steal a win from the Celts. |

Celtics couldn't hit 3s tonight. Toronto did and now it's best of 3.
Brown and Kemba really struggled.
All important game 5 Monday.
And I really want to run Kyle Lowery over with a steamroller.

That game 3 will haunt the Celtics if they lose this series Celtics want to be careful not to have fallen into the same trap that the Bucks did last year of getting too freaking cocky. Never doubt the champion Raptors because even without Leonard, we are still dangerous. |

Raps haven't been knocking down 3's but tonight they did It is coming down who can knock down their shots and play defense because the shooting from both teams have not been good |

Miami better put this away because while yes they will win this series ...you do not want to start giving Milwaukee even a slight inkling that they could pull off the impossible.
All it takes is self doubt and shook confidence and be looking like Boston right about now.

Best chance for Miami to put this away and they let Milwaukee stay alive
If they can grab another game, pressure will be on Miami

Lakers looking so much better tonight...and they finally are using Markeef Morris about time.
I been wondering why the hell Vogel isn't using this man who can be a legit three point threat guess better late than never.

I bet that when James Harden practices threes alone in a gym that he also practices falling down and looking to the referee like he missed something.

LeBron getting up to the top of the white box on an alley oop at 35 is as impressive as VC dunking at 40.

Tied up at 1 a piece.
Much like the Portland series we finally waking up after getting punched in game 1.
Just gotta continue this energy and Markieff if the man can keep showing up like this and Vogal plays him as much we got this series in 5.

Just gotta continue this energy and Markieff if the man can keep showing up like this and Vogal plays him as much we got this series in 5. I think this one is going to be a lot harder for the Lakers. Houston's got better shooters around their stars so they can shoot their way out of bad situations like they did tonight. But I like that when things started going bad for the Lakers, they used their size advantage and got the ball inside. It feels like this will be a battle of which style gives out first. If the Rockets can't get their shots to fall, they're in trouble. I think an advantage the Lakers have is that guys like LeBron, Rondo, and McGee are battle tested veterans and Davis had some question marks on him, but he has more than risen to meet the occasion. Harden and Westbrook though have a history of coming up very small in moments like these. |

Harden and Westbrook though have a history of coming up very small in moments like these. I agree it wont be easy I never expected this series to be easy for Lakers BUT also Houston shooting is not so much a worrie to me as it was previously because as much as they shoot the three...they also miss just as much and those jacked up missed threes are what keeps teams in the game because eventually they will go ice cold. And the advantage we have in this series is that when the threes aren't falling they gotta put the ball on the floor and drive it and when they do they are running into 6'9 brick walls and having to constantly do that to try and get buckets is gonna wear out any team over time. AD and especially Goat James lastnight just imposed themselves because Houston has not a single player that can match up let alone stop either man. There is also alot more to it of course....like Markieef atleast lastnight being that 3rd scoring weapon everyone has harped about them needing and Rondo was completely disrupting Houston and just causing havoc which lead to Houston turning it out over etc. I still got Lakers in 5 but all of these games are gonna be pretty much down to the wire. |
