That and the elbow into Vanderbelt that was called a foul on him had me steaming.... So dumb we even had to challenge that for them to reverse it.

Wasted Lebron's damn 38 pt effort He don't got many left!

f**k!!!

Doncic's offense makes up for his defense, but it is embarrassing how bad he is on that end.

Trade LeBron and maximize what's left of his value.

Lakers in 7 incoming.

Missing a real center. Shouldn't have rejected that trade.

Bad matchup but Lebron & Luka didn't play at their level. Need a real center this summer.

JJ and the staff didn't do a good job at all, while all season they were great with matchups and subs.

Vando should've played a lot more, he definitely would've disrupted Ant and Randle. Hayes should've kept playing, at least early on. MN just set the tone at the start of basically every game with their rebounding and paint defense.

But ya, they matched up very well against. No answer for the back court or front court basically lol.

To win that series, like you said Luka and Bron had to really show up. Bron had some better spurts and games than Luka, and that shouldn't be the case at his age anymore.

I feel good going into next season though. A lot of easy roster fixes.

On to the next year. Lakers in 5, but next year.

Team is set up nicely. Obviously depends on Lebron as well - but feel like he can play at a top 15 level again next season. Really need to get a true big. Have the picks and the assets to make a big move.

Also feel like you can't have Luka and Austin backcourt. Giving up too much on the defensive end. Trading Austin for a right player might be something they should consider. He can fetch a pretty good player imo.

Yea not a good series from the coaching staff. Playing Lebron & Luka way too many minutes - makes no sense to play them the entire 2nd half in game 4. They lost that game bc of coaching. But rookie coach - he will learn. Quite impressed with him - didn't think he was gonna be this good.

Need to make one or two moves this summer. Hopefully, Pelinka gets it right.

How did Bronnie do in playoffs?

Luka needs to transform his pudgy body this off season into something respectable. His defense may not improve that much but at least he'll have more energy and be more durable. Hell, he should sign up for Coop Camp and learn defense from one of the best ever. It worked for me back in the day :) Ditch the wings and beer, man!
