Still can't see Harden and Kawhi doing anything beyond the second round. Been here too many times.

Good chance they don't get past OKC... but Lakers, Rockets, Warriors, or Twolves wont either, unless the Thunder run into some injuries or bad luck.

Caruso was actually pretty insane for them last night. Just a lil' rat running around stripping the ball, deflecting passes, etc.

I’ll take this bet. If Kawhi stays healthy, they’re the second best team in the west.

Ja's acrobatics is the one reason to love him but stay away from him as the guy. His body won't last long if he stays airborne, but that's his advantage.

And Dort...well let's hope Kawhi doesn't see him

Just curious but what evidence is there that the Lakers don't have a shot against OKC? They played eachother twice a couple weeks ago, both in OKC. LA blew them out in game one and would have won the 2nd if Luka wasn't ejected.

Magic need to get Paolo and Franz some help...it's like they are Lakers light, where they are the only 2 scoring and contributing anything

Wagner just might be the best player no one talks about.

OKC aren't some unbeatable monster.

Their game 3 win vs Memphis was pretty unimpressive. Memphis had nobody that could create their own shot once Ja went down.

They were sitting ducks.

The rest of the West aint Memphis. I won't be surprised if OKC doesn't get to the Finals.

If the Clippers can get past the Nuggets it's starting to feel a lot like destiny

When Kawhi is on he's unstoppable

The T-Wolves need a strong 3rd quarter. Randle could really use a big game tonight. He started playing better in the 2nd quarter.

LeBron got the hot start but Luka needs to get going if LAL wins on the road.

Can't wait for the 4th quarter to start. It's been a good game so far.

It’s truly remarkable how good LeBron still is.

He probably still has an elite year left in him as well. I'm mean the guys 40.

I wonder what Lebrons teammates think of him laughing and joking with Ant in that situation.

I thought this was supposed to be Luka's team now. What happened?

He keeps putting himself in that narrative; a guy who can ball but not win. Just like Allen Iverson or Pete Maravich.

LeBron is happy just to get his numbers.

It was odd to see him joking around for sure.

The sooner LA dump LeBron and his drama and load the team up around Luka the better.

I bet Minny -1.5 games in this series. Hopefully Minny can win their home games and close it out.

What a random couple of names to lump in with Luka.

How quickly you forget the other big name that couldn't win until he stacked a squad. LeBron James.

Minny's effort in closing out the Lakers on the 3 point line in the 4th was the difference as well as a couple of other things that went their way. Not much in it between the 2 teams.
