Ya it's night and day

Good win considering AD decided to take the night off again.

Not expecting it - but if they can close out the series tonight - that'll be huge. The rest will help a lot bc they'll be chasing around Fox or Curry in the next series. This series has been very physical as these are the two best defensive teams in the playoffs.

I think they'd have a really tough time winning this series if it was heading 2-2 back to Memphis. Lebron is no where close to what he was physically before the injury and AD is also dealing with a hip issue. Team is still figuring out how to play together on offense. That was a season saving win in game 4.

I thought we were done after the 1st. Nice comeback so far.

Yea but hate this lineup where Lebron is center. It's so whack. Hasn't worked all series long.

And Morant just took over the game and ended it.

Well nvm lol

Please lord open the rim for us

That was fast. Time to pull out Bron and keep AD on bench. Finish on Friday.

Was not expecting to win game 5. But, b4 the series started - I felt Lakers will lose in 6 or 7 games. They have a great chance to win the series in 6 games at home.

Lebron has not looked anywhere close to 100% since returning - so that's a big worry. I don't know what to really expect from him in game 6. Both AD and Lebron have not played at their level together in the same game. AD has to play at his level and Lebron has to play at least as well as he did in game 4.

I don't give them any shot of winning game 7 on the road...so if they're gonna win this series - it has to be tomorrow. Must win game!

Better win game 6 or it's gonna be curtains for the season.

Yup. Although I wouldn't completely bet against us on the road

Fully expect Lakers to win tonight.

AD is the best defender in the league. Not even a question.
