A Rondo/Kuzma/Green/AD/Lebron 5 won't be stopped.The rest of the team is just so bad though, if Danny Green magically becomes Danny Green again for a few weeks, look out league.
That was brutal. Possibly concussed.Yikes. Surprised Covington is conscious.
Barely. Concussion protocol for sure.Yikes. Surprised Covington is conscious.
Remind me again who gave up two first rounders *and* two pick swaps in that Westbrook/CP3 trade?Somebody is going to pay Westbrook $47M in 2023.
Tilman FertittaRemind me again who gave up two first rounders *and* two pick swaps in that Westbrook/CP3 trade?
A CP3-Gordon-Harden-Covington-Tucker unit would be tough to beat.
Harden and Paul were the actual architects if we are being honest. Houston had a terrible choice at that point. Harden kind of played himself but then again, CP3 seems like an insufferable co-worker.Remind me again who gave up two first rounders *and* two pick swaps in that Westbrook/CP3 trade?

Your observation about the Clippers energy feels right and that, more than the admittedly bad officiating will determine the outcome imo.Refs guaranteeing a 2-2 series.this officiating has been dogshit.
Also jvg is like reggie miller level bad on call

But our 9 o'clock starts, it feels like we're playing and traveling during the season," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said Wednesday. "It's because you're getting back to the hotel very late, you're up late."
For television purposes, sometimes those starts get pushed back a half-hour or so to accommodate the game that precedes them. And for the Lakers' players, that means not being able to go to sleep until the wee morning hours following a game.
"I get right to work right after the game," LeBron James said after the Lakers' Game 1 loss to Houston. "Win, lose or draw, I start my treatment already in the locker room; when I get back to the hotel, I'm going to do some more. Be up pretty late tonight."
Vogel estimates on a typical game night, he won't get to bed until 3 a.m. at the earliest and then he'll be up again at 9 for his morning coaches' meeting.
"I watch film until I fall asleep, which is typically not before 3," Vogel said. "But typically not after 5. I'd say before 3 and 4 is when I typically go to bed after a 9 o'clock game."
Their defense has been tremendous tonight. Every half inch, extra contest, extra closeout. They've rarely shown this all year. It's suffocating and gives me hope vs the lakersYour observation about the Clippers energy feels right and that, more than the admittedly bad officiating will determine the outcome imo.
Hey I just found LeBron's theme song...The Lakers whining about late (9:00) start times is just rich:
LeBron is showered with respect.That layup by LeBron before the end of the first half...was otherworld. behind his head while falling down? I know it's verboten to say anything positive about LBJ here, but....just insanely good.
Reminds me of Kareem's bullshit causing the advent of the 2-3-2.The Lakers whining about late (9:00) start times is just rich:

Clippers will find the on switch before this game ends.
Had a bit left there, though. Fun game....these playoffs are great.Maybe it's injury-related, but Paul Millsap is only a shadow of the player he once was. I remember him killing the C's in more than one game.
So. Many. Timeouts.
