Yeah I guess. Just probably the lasttttp layer on the court they wanted takin the game tying/winning shot

It's Eric Spoelstra...not it's not lol.

In other words, Mike Brown would have won a championship if he had anything other than Lebron in Cleveland. Just blew a 7 point lead with 2 minutes to go.

Down 0-2 with a blow out and a 4th quarter choke job? Lol I think thats pretty bad, if you ask me. But thats just my opinion.

No.

They won't win both in LA. Not on back to back nights.

If they play D and control the tempo the way they did tonight they will.

People don't remember that 3 and 4 are Friday and Saturday.

Which BTW is a complete and utter JOKE. Same with the Spurs/Clippers.

Whats the positive though lol really? Theres nothing positive about game 1, and Game 2, Harden and Westbrook have horrible shooting games and you lead by 6 or 7 with like 2 minutes left and choke it away. Now you are playing back to back games at home against a younger team. Its not a great scenario to me

They played great D, controlled tempo and kept them in the half court. They did exactly what they wanted and needed to do, just have to execute a little better down the stretch. Plenty of positives.

I think the conflict is more with the Kings actually.

But yes, I agree.

That's unreal, NBA playoffs should take precedence. Edit: forgot about the Clippers being in the playoffs actually still lol

I doubt anybody in that locker room is thinking this. But I guess those are some small moral victories

they really didn't have to, though. kings on thurs, lakers on fri, kings and clippers on sat, lakers on sun, clippers on mon. no back to backs needed. no idea why they didn't do it that way - unless there's raw or a concert or something on monday (which would be stupid)
