lol whining about the refs when labald/the lolkers get the best whistle in the league by 10 miles. if the reffing was good and fair they would have lost every game by 20+

Lakers arent even in the playoffs with fair reffing

They rarely overturn those kinds of calls though, but AD had all ball from the beginning, and stayed on ball. I thought for sure all the Jokic flailing though would cause the challenge to fail.

it was someone driving, Jokic catches the ball outside of the 3 point line and drives to the basket, it was a clear-as-day foul

Once they reverse engineer and clear house of the people poisoning the well, they need to set clear objectives on what type of team they want to be, and what kind of players fit that mold. The last couple of years have been a desperate hodgepodge of players, trying to salvage what they can from the Westbrook disaster.

Shadow GM Kobe = success
Shadow GM LeBron = failure

Is a flaming hot take and I am in for it 100%

Sorry, but that's just a stupid comment.

If you want to Laker hate... I get it. I grew up in LA and I understand outside hate, and why it exists.

Do you mean both teams did fouls that weren't called? Wow... unreal.

lol... couple of things

1) According to many reports over the years, Rob is always asking for players opinions about personnel so much so that some of them get annoyed, as most other GM's don't do that to this level. Per what I've read.

2) The 2020 roster construction was... perfect. That's why the Lakers dominated.

3) Kobe dies just before the bubble, the next year the things that made the team so good are dismantled... mainly their size, perimeter and wing defense. As if the person running the team doesn't understand what made them good.

4) WB is traded to the Lakers for key pieces most franchises would covet and future picks.

I rest my case.

Another hot take on the Denver / Lakers series... because of course it won't be covered in the national media, as it doesn't fit the narrative.

Lakers outscored Denver in the paint in the series, yet we have:
Lakers 67 FTA, Denver 79 FTA.

I guess the fix is in for Denver?

I'm kidding.... but this is what would be said if it was flipped.

Meh the Lakers. They lose the aggregate score in the series by 11 points and lose the series 4-1. The last game score was also the average score of the series: 108-106. Weird. Also the score of Bill Russell's final game, 1969 NBA Finals Game 7 ... 108-106 over the Lakers. That was a strange game to watch, you can still watch 4th quarter or waning moments on youtube. The teams like didn't know much about how to manage game 7 close situation. Very weird to see.

Philly doesn't have nearly enough bullets in the gun.

Think BOS/NYK goes 6 games before BOS can finally end it.

Knicks' record with OG is like 22-3. He might actually be magic

Sixers benched Lowry too late. Some Big OG steals. Grats McLovin!

Maxey's massive WIM saving Philly from Embiid's natural born loser syndrome.

I was looking forward to the Embiid criticism.

But now I might be hoping for a (series) comeback and Knicks criticism.
